Mold Growth Removal

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

Mold removed from inside wet drywall Our employees are experts in mold removal to ensure it does not grow back.

When water leaks into your home whether it's from the inside or the outside, it becomes a good breeding ground for mold to grow in, especially in high humidity areas of the home such as bathrooms and kitchens. While there is not any significant research on if mold causes any medical issues, it certainly does not smell nice. You'll notice the smell when you first walk in, it's a musty smell. Although you may not be able to see the mold, if you can smell it then it is most likely there on the inside of the walls. Lack of air circulation can cause the smell to become stronger. Keep mold from growing after a water damage by keeping humidity levels down, make sure the room gets good air circulation, and contact SERVPRO of Escondido right away to get the water mitigated before mold has the chance to grow.

SAFETY Always Comes First!

4/21/2022 (Permalink)

Cutting drywall in PPE PPE known as Personal Protective Equipment is always worn to protect our employees.

Safety always comes first at SERVPRO. A job can only be done correctly if you are prepared for it correctly.

Having the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is important and always the first step in every job. Working in the restoration industry has potential for injury so it's important to be prepared at all times and protect yourselves in every way possible!

Allen has his PPE on for this mold loss. If there is mold present when cutting into the drywall, the spores can travel and even be inhaled. No one wants to inhale anything other than oxygen so our employees are required to wear masks & protective eye wear. Even if no mold is present, a mask is important to keep from inhaling debris that floats around and can cause health effects.

We care about our employees and customers health so we always make sure everyone has the proper PPE on for each and every job.

Contents employee cutting wet drywall. We have certified cleaning agents and proper tools to use for all our jobs.

Water damage can occur with no warning. Protect your home from a flood in every way you can:

  1. Protect wells from taking safety improvement suggestions from a licensed contractor.
  2. Make sure your yard slopes away from your home to direct water away from it.
  3. Have a plumber install an exterior sewer backflow valve.
  4. Anchor fuel tanks.
  5. Have an electrician raise switches, sockets, circuit breakers, and wiring at least 12 inches above expected flood levels.

For winter (areas that experience snow):

  1. Rain can make snow melt quickly.
  2. Remove snow piled against home.
  3. Seal any cracks or gaps in foundation.

Smoke and Soot Cleanup

1/7/2022 (Permalink)

Soot along walls from smoke damage. Smoke and Soot Damage Can Cause a Pervasive Odor in Your Escondido Home.

Smoke and soot is very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allows us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.  

Smoke and soot facts:

  • Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
  • Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
  • The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Escondido will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

  • Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

  • Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

  • Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor. 

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Since each smoke and fire damage situation is a little different, each one requires a unique solution tailored for the specific conditions.  We have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damage.  We will also treat your family with empathy and respect and your property with care.

GREASE Fires are SCARY.

Kitchen exploded from grease fire. A grease fire can travel quickly destroying all in its path. SERVPRO can help with the cleanup.

Who knew cooking in your kitchen could turn into this? This tenant in Escondido was planning to have a peaceful dinner at the rental property before this situation occurred. It's important to always be prepared for the worst in the event that this happens. It can happen to anyone but there are ways you can be more prepared for it. Always keep clutter out of the kitchen. Wipe down all surfaces in the kitchen including floors and walls so there are no flammable spills or layers of film for the fire to catch onto easily. Keep baking soda in reach of the stove top to throw on any open flames. Baking soda cuts off the oxygen supply to a fire similar to a fire extinguisher. In the case the fire is not able to be tamed immediately call your local fire department and evacuate the premises. Always use caution when cooking and if you do experience a disaster like this, SERVPRO of Escondido will be there to clean it up for you. (760)746-6440

Commercial Flooding

Green SERVPRO equipment We have all the equipment needed to dry out multiple large commercial buildings.

According to disaster safety.org some tips to keep water out of your business and prevent a flood:

Seal cracks-use high quality products to seal cracks on pipes.

Sump pump-connect sump pumps to a battery backup or generator.

Backflow valve- Install backflow valves on main waste drain pipes that leave the structure.

Protect openings- keep a supply of water-absorbent or water-filled barriers to divert water away. Install watertight shields over all doors and windows at least 12 inches above anticipated flood level. The type of barrier used will depend on the size and type of opening.

Slope- Evaluate the drainage of the property to make sure the ground slopes away from the building. 

All of these tips will help to make sure your business does not experience water damage.

Commercial Building Floods

9/15/2021 (Permalink)

Types of flooding

  1. Rising water after heavy rain. A risk to inland areas.
  2. Moving water creates force. Found near rivers.
  3. Overtopping. When dams or other flood controls are opened.
  4. Flash flooding, a result of a slow thunderstorm and excess rainfall.
  5. Widespread flood damage can be cause by storms dropping a lot of rain on the coast and moving inland to continue destruction.

Factors that play into floods are:

  • Duration-if waters are moving through or they are trapped.
  • Depth-waters more than 3 feet create pressure on walls and push them to collapse
  • Velocity-the speed at which the water is traveling.
  • Water Condition-the waters are often dirty or contaminated 

Although having property on high grounds can be better, it's not always going to be safe from the water if the water is trapped and the level continues to rise. Do not assume your property is 100% safe from flooding.

Do you have external water leaking into your home?

11/30/2020 (Permalink)

Rainy parking lot with work truck. Rain or shine, our team is there to fix any water damage issue!

It could be a disaster if a home does not have a good drain system when storm rains will not let up. The water will continue to collect until it's pushing on your door searching for any sign of a crack to get inside. If the house is unoccupied for the duration of the storm the water can continue to leak in. A lot of times when water comes from the outside, it becomes dirty. The water can flow small particles of dirt into the crack under the door. Another example of contaminated water is sewage such as a toilet overflowing.

Here are some tips when dealing with contaminated water:

  • Don't spread contaminated water by walking unnecessarily on damaged or wet areas. 
  • Don't turn on the HVAC system if there is a possibility of spreading contaminated air.
  • Don't use household fans to dry the structure and spread contaminants.
  • Avoid all contact with sewage and items contaminated by it.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after contact with contaminated items.

Mold growing inside wall cavity from slow hot water leak in bathroom. Removing mold from a hot water leak!

What is mold?

Molds are simple organisms that are found indoor and outdoor. They are very small spores. The color can be anywhere from white to orange and green to black. 

What does it need to grow?

To grow, mold needs food ex: leaves, paper. It also needs moisture and a place to grow. 

Can you find mold in your home?

Absolutely. Sources that can cause problems for mold are flooding, leaky roofs, mud, steam from cooking, shower or bath steam/leaks, damp clothes, humidifiers.

How can you prevent mold in your home?

  • Check for moisture on windows 
  • Check for wood warping
  • See if you can smell a musty odor
  • check for cracking of plasterboard

If water penetrates any of these areas, there is potential for mold growth.

All of these tips can help save you from a moldy mess!

Sealing your roof to prevent storm damage.

Pencil drawn background with SERVPRO van magnet Prepare your home ahead of the storm.

Your roofing seems fine until a heavy storm hits and you find leaks all over your home. The day is gloomy, you want to stay inside and watch the rain fall from the window not from inside your living room ceiling. An option that a homeowner may have is to seal their roof. Sealing a roof includes options:

  • two layers of felt
  • synthetic roof membranes
  • a polyurethane foam spray(for existing roofs)

When you seal your roof, it gives an extra protection against rain storms.

It is said that the roofing industry has suggested the felt paper as a way to help drain water away once it is behind the roof cover. The roof covering that you chose should be sealed with a membrane that is strong enough to be watertight, will stay in place if the primary roof blows off

A positive yelp review.

No one knew the Thomas Fire in Santa Barbara would turn into the largest wildfire in California. It burned through 273,246 acres of land. It destroyed 10,000 homes. SERVPRO of Escondido headed up north to help as soon as the fire calmed down and it was safe to travel. A lot of homes were left in ashes but the neighboring ones left standing had serious smoke damage to everything in the home. There was a layer of soot on everything. When items or walls have smoke damage, it's the only thing you can smell. The smell of smoke is very powerful. Our team was happy to be welcomed into our customers homes and give them clean air to breathe again. It is very important to keep our customers updated and share our knowledge with them along the whole way. As you can see in this yelp review, we want to make you as comfortable and happy as possible.
