Understanding Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist almost everywhere, outdoors and indoors, making it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return. 
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Common Mold Misconceptions

With sensational news stories and misleading advertising, you can easily understand why so many people are misinformed about indoor mold. Learn the facts about mold and the mold remediation process.

Steps To Take After Storm Damage

A storm can be quite scary and having to deal with its after-effects is challenging. It can leave behind a lot of damage that you will have to take care of. For this reason, you need to have all the right steps in front of you so that you can restore your home as quickly as possible. Here are 5 steps that you will have to follow after suffering from storm weather damage. 

Check How Much Damage Is Done

Before you go on to figuring out the solution for the damage, you will have to assess how much damage took place. It is best to take a look at every nook and corner of your home to know where all the damage is. 

Don’t miss out on anything as you want to ensure that every bit of damage is repaired properly. Observe every inch of the exterior so that you can know exactly what went wrong. Also, if there is seepage or any other time of damage as well, then make sure to take note of this as well. 

Keep Yourself Safe And Avoid Injury

As you go about assessing your home of damage, you want to make sure that you avoid injury throughout. To do this, you will have to keep away from all sorts of electrical equipment and risky areas around your home. 

If you see cracks on the roofs, then it is best that you avoid standing under or close to that particular area. The best thing to do is to make sure that your electricity is shut off to avoid getting damage from wires running through your home. 

Get Your Insurance Company On Board

Throughout the process, you want to make sure that you are collecting adequate proof to show your insurance company. They will probably also send someone for a physical examination to verify your case. Keep them in the loop so that you can claim insurance for the damages that you face from the storm damage. 

Limit Further Damage To Home

Sometimes, if you do not act quickly, there is a possibility of more damage happening to your home. You want to avoid this as much as possible. If there is an excessive wind blowing or water coming in, you might want to board your windows. 

If you’re not sure how to do this, then you must reach out to a professional service for help. And, that is our final step that will help with the damage. 

Call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township for Professional Cleaning Service! 

You want to ensure that your home is not damaged beyond repair. This is when you need to get the right people on board to help you clean up the mess after the storm weather damage. You do not want to put the entire work on yourself as you might not have the right equipment to get this done properly. 

You can reach out to us, SERVPRO Blackwood/Gloucester Township professionals, who can help you clean your home AND minimize the damage done to your home.

How To Keep Your Home Safe From Flooding

8/29/2022 (Permalink)

How To Keep Your Home Safe From Flooding

As the storm weather approaches, you want to ensure that your home is completely safe and flood-proof. Having to deal with flood damage, later on, can be quite taxing, both, mentally and physically. So, the best thing to do is assess what needs to be done beforehand so that you can keep yourself and your home safe from any kind of flooding. Let’s look at what you need to do to ensure this. 

  1. Assess All The Possible Entryways For Water

The first thing that you will need to do before anything else is to assess whether there is any possibility of floodwater coming into your home. You will easily be able to tell this by taking a look at any gaps or slopes around your home. 

Doing so is essential if you want to take the right steps to keep your home safe from flooding. Otherwise, at the last moment, you will be running around trying to stop water from coming into your home. 

  1. Get The Relevant Renovations Made

If you have been through similar situations before as well, then you know how important it is to renovate your home. Once you have assessed the entryways of water, you will have to ensure that they are completely blocked so that you can keep floodwater out of your home. Don’t wait until the last moment, make sure that you get these done early so that you can be prepared. 

  1. Clear Out Gutters

One of the main issues that come with flooding is the blockage of gutters. To keep flooding at bay, you will have to ensure that you clear out the gutters and the pipelines so that the water can run through them without any issues. 

If you do not do this, then the possibility of your gutters overflowing and water coming inside becomes more likely. So, get your gutters cleaned out to lower the possibility of this happening to your home. 

  1. Cover Any Gaps Around Your Home

One of the main reasons why water finds a way inside your home is because of the gaps all around. When you’re aware of an upcoming storm or the particular season approaching, then you should make sure to cover all these areas up. 

If you’re looking for an effective way to do this, then try using sandbags to prevent water from coming in. It works great as the weight of the sand blocks the gaps and can easily be molded into the area you want to fit it in. So, try to do this as well to keep water out. 

Who To Call In Case Of Flooding?

If you find yourself in a situation where you’re not able to keep the water out of your home, then you’re sure to find your home filled with water. In such a situation, you will need to reach out to professionals to help clear out all the damage from your home.

It's also important to know that there are many different types of water damage. For example, flooding is when an area has been completely submerged in water for too long which can lead to serious problems including mold growth inside your commercial building.

If you experience any type of leaking or major flood then call a professional immediately as they will be able to deal with the situation properly without causing more damage on your property.

Soot & Smoke

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

Grarage Fire Photo of a garage after a parked car fire

Smoke and soot are very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your home, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allow 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 affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two distinct types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. will evaluate 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, hot 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.

Did you know that each SERVPRO is individually owned and operated? There are over 2,000 franchises nationwide, many in or around your town!

What’s great about having so many franchises, is that whenever there is a larger than normal job, or a major storm hits, we all band together to help out the affected community.

In February 2021, a major winter storm moved through the state of Texas and wreaked havoc on the citizens of the Lonestar state. This storm brought not only snow, sleet, and freezing rain to Southeast Texas, but also extremely cold temperatures that lasted for several days. This was one of the most impactful winter events in recent history that brought multiple road closures, power outages, loss of heat, broken pipes, and other societal impacts for the region. Our crew assembled, packed up the vans and drove down to assist other SERVPROs with the clean-up. We worked side by side with our SERVPRO family and didn’t leave until the job was done! This is not the first (or last!) time SERVPRO will travel to help out communities in need.

We are proud to be a part of the SERVPRO family and we will always be “Faster to any size disaster”!

We’ve all seen those crime scene shows at some point in our lives, but what does a crime scene cleanup really entail? It is not as quick, or glamorous as these shows depict them to be. It takes time, the proper tools and professionals to do the job right and to keep everyone safe.

Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to the cleanup of blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials. Incidents which may require this type of cleanup include accidents, suicide (or attempted suicide), homicides, and decomposition after unattended death, as well as mass trauma, industrial accidents, infectious disease contamination, animal biohazard contamination (e.g. feces or blood) or regulated waste transport, treatment, and disposal.

PPE (Personal protective equipment) refers to all equipment (e.g. devices, appliances and accessories) that are worn by an individual, in order to provide protection against one or more safety risks. It is required to utilize the correct PPE at all biohazard cleanup sites.

Listed below are the commonly used PPE types:

  • Skin protection
  • Respiratory protective equipment
  • Eye protection
  • Head protection
  • Ear protection
  • Foot protection
  • Hand and arm protection
  • Body protection
  • Fall protection

Here at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp, we have the necessary tools, PPE and support to remediate biohazard events. Give us a call today (856) 227-7800!

What is the Difference Between a Severe Storm Watch and Warning?

8/4/2022 (Permalink)

National Weather Service watches and warning image. National Weather Service watches and warning image.

Do you know the difference between a National Weather Service Severe Thunderstorm Watch and a Severe Thunderstorm Warning? It is important to know the difference so you can take appropriate action!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Be Prepared! Severe thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area. Stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued. The watch area is typically large, covering numerous counties or even states. This is the time to secure your home and belongs. Check flashlight batteries, check supplies, charge your phone, etc. Having these items checked off your safety list will come in handy if your area is upgraded to a warning.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Take Action! Severe weather has been reported by local spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property. Take shelter in a substantial building and get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds. Warnings typically encompass a much smaller area (around the size of a city or small county). These warnings state that an area may be impacted by large hail or damaging winds and are identified by an NWS forecaster on radar or by a trained spotter/law enforcement who is watching the storm. Stay away from windows during any kind of storm, even if you do not see lightning or notice strong winds. Storms can intensify rapidly, so it’s best to stay safely away from any windows or outside doors.

Staying informed is one of the best defenses against having a storm related emergency. Also, having a storm preparedness checklist and emergency plan can also help keep you and your family safe. Make sure to keep our number on those lists, in the event a weather emergency occurs because we’re “Faster to any size disaster”.

Let Us Introduce You to Gloucester Twp!

Our mural the community painted on our outside wall! Beautiful mural the community painted on our wall showing all that is wonderful about Glendora/Gloucester Twp!

We here at SERVPRO Blackwood/Gloucester TWP call Glendora, NJ home. Community is everything to us and we love our neighbors! Just in our backyard, we have a fun mural that was painted on one of our walls by our friends in the neighborhood! We also have a large, grassy lot that the mural overlooks where we have hosted fun events for everyone. We wanted to share some cool facts about Glendora/Gloucester Twp, to honor our friends and neighbors.

Gloucester township was named after the cathedral town of Gloucester on the banks of the Severn in England. Gloucester Twp is home to one of 175 similar pre-Revolutionary War buildings in the U.S., The Gabreil Daveis Tavern (also known as the Hillman Hospital House). This tavern was built in 1756 near the Big Timber Creek and housed boatmen who used the creek to ship goods to Philadelphia. It was designated a hospital by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. If you visit the tavern, you can walk on the same floorboards and look out the same glass windows as Revolutionary soldiers! This historical site is even depicted on our mural!

Here is a list of well-known people that hail from Gloucester Twp:

Gloucester Twp is home to numerous places worthy of a visit! We have a ton of fun parks, as well as historical ones, many wineries, an outlet shopping center, lots of u-pick farms, historical tours and so much more! When you come visit, take a drive down Black Horse Pike and check out our awesome mural, as well as others our community has painted around town. You’ll see why it’s known as “A great place to live, work and play”!

Sewage Backup Dangers

8/3/2022 (Permalink)

Sewage Backup in a Crawlspace Clean up crew in a crawlspace filled with sewage.

Sewage backing up into a home or business can happen to anyone at any time. Many things can cause a sewage backup, from a pipe clogging to a flood overfilling a local sewer system. A sewage loss can seem like a relatively easy cleanup to handle by yourself, but it should not be handled by anyone other than professionals. Here are some of the reasons why a sewage backup can be dangerous.

Sewage Water Contains Diseases and Bacteria. 

To begin, we explain exactly what sewage is. Primarily, sewage is contaminated water containing waste of any type. Sewage is considered category 3 water damage and can contain anything as harmless as soap to more harmful things such as human or industrial waste. 

One of the more dangerous bacteria you can come in contact with in sewage backup is E. coli, also known as Escherichia coli. Normally found within the digressive tracts of humans and harmless when in that system, E. coli is extremely harmful outside of the intestines. According to the CDC, E. coli is one of the most common contaminants found in sewage. By being in contact with sewage you could also be exposed to the hepatitis A virus, as well as many highly contagious bacteria and viruses.

Diseases in Sewage are Easily Spread 

The diseases and bacteria found in sewage may seem avoidable, but this is often not the case. A common misconception regarding sewage is that you can only get sick from directly consuming the substance. However, many of the diseases and bacteria found in sewage backup can be transmitted in many ways outside of direct consumption.

Coming in contact with bacteria can be as easy as not properly cleaning your hands after touching sewage and then eating or drinking. Many may think of cleaning their hands before eating or drinking, but even smoking  when your hands are not properly cleaned is also an extremely easy way to be infected by bacteria and diseases.

The second most common way to be infected by bacteria is through skin contact. This could be forgetting about a cut on your leg and exposing that cut to sewage. A disease present in sewage may even spread quicker when given an easy entry to your body such as an unhealed cut. No matter how careful you may be when cleaning, you run the risk of infection when cleaning sewage yourself.

Sewage Causes Air-Borne Contamination. 

Not only is coming into physical contact with raw sewage a threat, but sewage can also contaminate the air around you. Inhaling the vapors emitted by raw sewage can lead to gastroenteritis, or even asthma. As sewage can release toxins or even infected dust, the risk for breathing in the toxins is very high. Once inhaled, the toxins can attack your upper respiratory system, causing asthma-like symptoms and shortness of breath. These fumes are often released into the air during the cleaning process, which is why it is especially important to hire a professional

Due to the sensitive nature of cleaning up a sewage loss, it is a much safer choice to leave the cleanup and restoration to the professionals. At SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp, we are trained to identify the dangers and health risks that a sewage backup can present, and we work to make your home or business look “Like it never even happened”.

What is the IICRC?

The IICRC is the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, a non-profit organization for the Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Industries. The IICRC was founded in 1972 by Ed York. The mission was, and still is, to establish and advance globally recognized standards, credentials, and certifications for the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries. Since starting in 1972, the IICRC has evolved into a global organization with more than 49,000 active Certified Technicians and more than 6,500 Certified Firms around the world.

The IICRC Standards serve to develop common, industry-accepted language and terminology that enables us to more universally discuss concepts and procedures regarding cleaning, inspection, and restoration. The IICRC is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) member and accredited standards developer. ANSI coordinates standards, conformity assessment, and related activities in the United States of America. ANSI is responsible for overseeing the development of national consensus standards and verifying that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standard’s developer. An American National Standard (ANS) is a Voluntary Consensus Standard, and unless mandated by law, compliance is voluntary. However, some have been adopted as code or regulation by local, state, or federal authorities.

Water damage, if not treated quickly and properly, can cause damage to flooring and personal belongings as well as increase the chance for mold growth. Our certified techs here at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp are here and “Ready for whatever happens.” Once a water damage event takes place in your home or business, trust the pros to help with the clean-up process. There are multiple ways our team can help salvage your interior property. One way is to make what is called a Flood Cut. A Flood Cut is made from the floor up, cutting out the drywall at a height of 2 feet. This prevents the water from continuing to move up the affected walls and makes it easier for reconstruction. Additionally, the insides can be dried and treated behind the wall cavity. This term is not just used in water remediation, but construction work as well. The drywall can then easily be repaired or replaced, making it look “Like it never even happened.”

Our Technicians can Quickly Evaluate the Items Damaged by Mold to Determine What can be Salvaged.

Toxic mold can be a serious threat to New Jersey homeowners. It feeds on organic materials and may ruin your items beyond repair. Worse still, these fungi can possibly cause mold-related issues. Like with all living organisms, mold and mildew require certain elements to grow and thrive. These include moisture, mold spores, proper temperatures, and of course, carbon items. When these elements are sufficient in any given area, they create the ideal environment for mold growth.
 
SERVPRO is a longstanding restoration company that has been fighting mold in New Jersey homes for many years. We are proud to have our IICRC-certified technicians responding to your emergency when a mold event happens.

Our technicians can easily remove mold damage from materials that have a solid, or non-porous surface. Some examples are glass, metal, and plastic. We use plant-based antimicrobial products and water, drying equipment (such as dehumidifiers and air movers/scrubbers) among other tools during the clean-up process. Due the absence of pores, our SERVPRO mold remediation experts can wash and dry these items using special techniques. Without pores, the spores cannot burrow into the item, instead they remain on the surface where they are easily expendable.

Porous items cannot be "safely" cleaned, treated, or effectively kept in the sun due to their porous nature. Mold spores build up in small spaces, increasing their chances of survival. Once they find a pore that is small, safe, and comfortable enough, the mold spores lay dormant and wait for moisture to initiate growth. Their roots grow downward, making them extremely stable on porous items.
  
Removing mold damage from fabric clothing can be easy in some circumstances, but still requires professional assistance. Apart from safety purposes, washing alone cannot restore mold-damaged clothing to its original state. SERVPRO technicians can provide the best solution to ensure that you do not lose the item completely. It is important to clean the material sooner rather than later to reduce the risk of sustaining irreversible damage.
 
Research has shown that mold takes anywhere between 24 and 48 hours to make an impact. If you detect the presence of mold growth in your house, let SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp come in and assess the damage. You can reach us anytime at (856)227-7800.

Our resources are designed to get rid of mold growth entirely, "Like it never even happened."

It's Hurricane Season!

Know Your Hurricane Categories

It’s officially hurricane season. For those of us who are fascinated with weather it’s a time when we watch weather reports the way other people watch the sports news. 

Hurricane season starts on June 1st and ends on November 30th. Even though there are 6 months dedicated to hurricane season, storms can form at any time of the year! Since 1851, there have been 92 storms recorded outside of hurricane season, including several that happened on Christmas!

Here in New Jersey, we’re slightly removed from the effects of major hurricanes, but that doesn’t mean the Garden State is in the clear!

Here is a useful reference guide to put the different hurricane categories into perspective:

Tropical Storm

  • Tropical storms have a wide range of speeds, anywhere from 39-73 mph. (anything lower than 38 mph is considered a tropical depression).
  • That's about the range of speeds that you'll use when driving down 295, depending on the time of day.
  • July 8–9, 2021 – Tropical Storm Elsa moved up the east coast of the United States, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to NJ overnight through the morning of July 9. Elsa spawned two tornadoes here as well.

Category 1

  • Category 1 hurricanes have a wind speed of 74–95 mph.
  • Major league pitchers are usually within this range for their fastballs.
  • The last category 1 hurricane to hit New Jersey was Hurricane Earl in 2010 (Earl was a cat 4 at its peak).  

Category 2

  • Category 2 hurricanes have a speed of 96–110 mph.
  • That's roughly the speed of a human sneeze. (Who knew!)
  • The last cat 2 hurricane to hit the US was Hurricane Sally in Sept 2020.

 Category 3

  • Category 3 hurricanes go about 111–129 mph.
  • That’s equivalent to the top speed of a red tailed hawk.
  • The last category 3 Atlantic hurricane was Larry in Aug/Sept of 2021.

Category 4

  • Category 4 hurricanes travel at 130–156 mph.
  • That's around the top speed of the USA’s fastest train, the Amtrak Acela Express.
  • The last cat 4 hurricane to impact the East Coast was Hurricane Ida in Aug/Sept 2021.

Category 5

  • Category 5 hurricanes have winds 157 mph or faster.
  • The top (sustained!) windspeed ever recorded for an Atlantic hurricane was Hurricane Dorian at 185 mph in 2019.
  • The peregrine falcon can dive at a speeds near 200mph!

What is different about SERVPRO is knowing that no matter how big or how small a storm is, there is a nation-wide team of franchises ready to respond in the moment of crisis. So even though we aren’t all hit by hurricanes, we’re all here to help those who are.

We are all “Ready for whatever happens”.

Water damage to a ceiling and interior walls. Drywall cut out of interior walls and ceiling due to water damage.

Plumbing failures happen pretty often and even a small crack inside one of your pipes can spill hundreds of gallons of water into your house within a short period. Once moisture starts to leak into the interior of your home, building materials and many of your belongings can become victims of water damage. In more extreme situations, saturated building materials must be removed and replaced. Whenever our SERVPRO technicians mitigate water damage, we work towards drying out and saving materials as opposed to removing and replacing them.  

The applied structural drying process can save you and your insurance company money during restoration. Also, when mitigating water damage, our SERVPRO team knows that drying out items can cause less inconvenience to the building's occupants than tearing down walls. However, if building materials lose their structural integrity once saturated, replacing those items is necessary.  

During many plumbing failure situations, many items such as your carpet and drywall become water damaged. Our water restoration technicians or (WRTs) can usually dry out these items using air movers to circulate air in the building and dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air. However, some building materials like exterior walls can be challenging to dry out.  

Most exterior walls include a layer of insulation. The insulation is installed to trap heat inside a structure, but it can also work as a barrier to prevent air getting pushed into exterior walls. When insulation gets wet, the material must be removed.  

However, when working with fiberglass insulation, the air is pushed through the material, and exterior walls can be dried and saved. In some situations, our technicians drill holes on the bottom and top of your drywall so that air can circulate inside your wall cavities and dry out your exterior walls. Small tubes are placed in those holes and air movers are attached to help speed up the drying process.

If your home or business ever suffers from a plumbing failure, please call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp at (856) 227-7800 as soon as you notice you have a problem. We'll make it "Like it never even happened".

Biohazard is defined as waste contaminated with potentially infectious agents or other materials that are deemed a threat to public health or the environment.

It is important to be able to identify potential biohazardous situations to help keep you and your family safe! Below are some examples of biohazardous materials/situations.

Animal droppings/waste:

Wild (and domesticated) animals are known to carry a number of parasites, some potentially harmful to humans when their waste isn’t disposed of properly. If your pet has an accident in the house, clean up the mess with a disinfectant immediately and dispose of the waste appropriately. If a wild animal makes it’s way into your home and leaves behind it’s droppings or dies, its best to call a professional to clean up the mess. The feces and carcasses can leave behind these parasites which may cause illness to you or your family.

Blood/bodily fluids:

Accidental exposures to blood and other bodily fluids can present a wide variety of issues to you and your family. Certain body fluids can contain bloodborne pathogens that may infect humans and can spread from person to person. Be sure to use caution when cleaning up any sharp objects with blood or other fluids on them. This also includes needles, diabetes testing supplies, and any other kind of medical waste. These types of clean ups are best left to a professional to ensure proper disposal of the hazardous materials.

Drugs and paraphernalia: Drug paraphernalia like used hypodermic needles and other contaminated contraband or items can be a serious public health risk and should be removed by trained professionals. If any unidentified substance is found, it’s best to call professionals to be on the safe side. 

Common household items that identify as biohazardous materials:

  • motor oil
  • automobile batteries
  • paints and solvents
  • household cleaners
  • drain openers
  • pesticides
  • compressed gas tanks (such as propane and oxygen)

It is important to dispose of these items safely. Please refer to local state guidelines for proper disposal requirements.

Facts about animal droppings and why they are considered a biohazard.

7/14/2022 (Permalink)

Raccoon droppings in an exterior loft. Raccoon droppings and debris in an exterior loft.

Do you have some uninvited guests living in your crawlspace, attic, or exterior loft? Even after they are removed, they can leave behind quite the mess! We all know that rodents have the ability to play host to a number of bothersome parasites and unfortunately, they can stick around long after the animal has moved on. SERVPRO of Blackwood has the training and expertise to remove these unwanted pests!

Raccoons, rats/mice and squirrels are just a few animals that can leave behind these unwanted and potentially dangerous parasites.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you suspect or find animal waste/debris in or around your home:

A significant number of raccoons carry a roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, and shed it in their feces. This parasite may cause serious illness in humans.
Baylisascaris infection may cause nausea, fatigue, loss of coordination and muscle control, inability to focus attention, enlargement of the liver, blindness and even coma.

Mouse droppings may pose a potential health hazard as well. They are mostly concentrated near breeding and nesting grounds, although they may also be seen in other areas of the house from time to time. Mice feces can contain a variety of different diseases that may spread to humans, including Salmonella, Hantavirus, and Listeria. More than some of the other diseases that mouse droppings can spread, a particularly dangerous one is the hantavirus. Hantavirus is a deadly virus that can be contracted through contact with mouse feces, saliva, or urine. The virus may cause pulmonary syndrome, which is fatal in nearly 40% of cases.

It is dangerous to touch or breathe in the feces of squirrels as it has the potential to cause diseases that may bring complications and damaging effects to the body. One of which is Leptospirosis, a bacterial infection that may affect humans if the cuts and breaks in your skin and mucous membranes are exposed to contaminated feces and urine. If no timely intervention is made, it may lead to liver failure, respiratory distress, kidney damage, meningitis, and potentially death.

These are just some of the many reasons to leave the clean up to the Pros! Call us today if you find evidence of an animal visitor in your home - (856) 227-7800. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp will make it “Like it never even happened”!

How to Help Prevent a House Fire

6/16/2022 (Permalink)

Burnt room from a house fire Charred walls from a house fire

A fire can happen anywhere and it’s important to always be prepared for what you would do if you had one in your home. Likewise, it’s just as important to look at all of the ways that you can help prevent one from happening in the first place. At SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp, we want to help you avoid this type of disaster with some easy best practices to implement in your home. Hopefully, you will be able to prevent a problem before it even happens.

Unplug electronics when not in use

Excess electricity flowing through items in your home can always be a potential fire hazard. Things like computers, TVs, gaming systems, charging cables and more, use electricity even when they’re not on/in use. That means they can experience a surge at any time or they can overheat and cause a fire. By unplugging these items when you’re not using them, you can cut down on your chances of a fire.

Use surge protectors

If you do have items that you do not unplug when not in use, you want to make sure that they are all plugged into surge protectors. A surge in power is when you are most likely to experience an electrical fire and by plugging items into a surge protector you can avoid that excess electricity getting to the item and causing a fire.

Never leave flames or heat sources unattended

If you’re cooking, lighting candles, or using any other type of flame or excessive heat, you want to make sure that you’re watching it at all times. When you start cooking, you never want to leave the stove unattended. If you start a fire in your fireplace or light your grill, you want to make sure you keep an eye on that as well. These are also good places to have a fire extinguishers and smoke alarms, in case of a fire emergency. It is important to keep children away from these sources of heat for multiple safety reasons.

Keep flammable items away from heat

Flammable items like fabrics, paper, even hair should always be kept away from an open flame or excessive heat. It is important to not wear loose clothing and keep your hair up when lighting a grill, fireplace, candles, etc.

Don’t smoke in your home

If you smoke, it’s important to always do so in a well-ventilated area and to completely put out your cigarette before you throw it away. Cigarettes have the ability to burn even if you think that you’ve put them out. That small ember can ignite inside your trashcan or outside your home and cause a fire. If you smoke outside, watch out for stray ashes and dispose of cigarettes appropriately.

Always put out the fire, completely

If you have a fireplace, it’s important to always keep an eye on it. You want to make sure that you put out the fire well before you leave that area because embers can continue to smolder and burn and logs can continue to have flames inside of them. You want to make sure you completely smother the fire and wait before you leave the room, in case it re-ignites.

Cut back on the clutter

Excess clutter in your home is actually one way that fires can start spontaneously as well as spread rapidly. By keeping less clutter in your home you’ll be able to cut down on your risk and also make it more likely that you can save your home in the event of a fire.

Clean out lint and heater filters

You want to make sure that you remove the lint from your dryer filter every time that you do the laundry. Even a small amount of lint could cause a large fire. If there is a screen behind the filter, it is important to remember to clean that part as well. Use a vacuum hose to ensure all lint is removed, if possible. Your heating system needs a filter in order to run, but how often do you change that filter? You should be doing it frequently because if lint fills up in the filter, the heat from the furnace can actually ignite it.

Turn heated items off when not at home

Your dryer uses a lot of heat and even your dishwasher runs hot. Space heaters and heated blankets are made to produce heat. These are all items you don’t want to leave running/on when you’re not home because they could easily start a fire.

Keep gases and oils away from heat sources and sparks

If you store gas at your home, you want to keep it away from a potential spark or flame. The same goes for cooking and vehicle oils. By carefully containing these things in approved containers and keeping them a safe distance away from anything that could react with them, you are better prepared and can cut your risk fire.

Get your furnace checked regularly

Getting your furnace looked at frequently and scheduling regular maintenance is always going to be important and should be left to a professional. They can make sure that your furnace is and will continue to keep working the proper way. A broken furnace could be a huge danger to the safety of you and your home. Monitoring and maintenance can stop the problems before they arise.

There are plenty of other things that you can and should be doing to keep your house safer to prevent the potential for a house fire.

Unfortunately, there’s always a risk because fires can sometimes pop up even when you do everything right but, at the same time, you want to make sure you are putting your effort into prevention. If a fire does break out in your home, remember to get you and your family to safety, call for help and then call the professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp to make it “Like it never even happened.”

Understanding the Different Types of Contaminated Water

6/7/2022 (Permalink)

Flooded Crawlspace Crawlspace with insulation falling due to a water leak.

Summer is almost here and so are heavy rain, major storms and vacations!  Water damage can wreak havoc on your New Jersey home, so being prepared for whatever nature throws at us is important. Understanding the different categories of flood water will not only help ensure that you and your family are safe but can help you remediate the damage more effectively.

Read below to learn the difference between black water, gray water and clean water floods.

  1. Category 1 Floods
    Category 1, or clean water floods are floods without the presence of contaminants. As the least dangerous types of floods, they typically originate from a supply line burst, a shower leak or some other type of clean water source. Just because these floods aren't as dangerous doesn't mean that they shouldn't be taken seriously. If left untreated for too long, a clean water flood can turn into a Category 2 flood.
  2. Category 2 Floods
    Gray water floods are also known as Category 2 floods. This flood contains mildly contaminated water, but without the biohazard risk. These floods are often caused when household appliances malfunction and flood, such as dishwashers and laundry machines. If these types of floods are left untreated for longer than 48 hours, a Category 2 flood will quickly become a Category 3 flood.
  3. Category 3 Floods
    Category 3, or black water floods are the most dangerous. They are categorized by the presence of biohazards, such as human or animal fecal matter, raw sewage and dangerous chemicals or pesticides. These floods are usually caused by toilet overflow, sewage back flow or a flooding riverbank. You should never attempt to resolve this type of flood by yourself, due to the possible risks involved with sewage cleanup. Instead, you should contact water damage professionals as soon as you can.

All types of floods are capable of inflicting serious amounts of damage. That being said, it's still important for you to learn the differences between the various types of contaminated water. Make sure to contact flood remediation experts for assistance if your home is suffering from the effects of a flood.

Need to schedule an Insurance Adjuster's Visit? Here are some best practices to follow.

6/3/2022 (Permalink)

Flooded basement 3 plus feet of water in a basement with floating appliances.

When a flood causes significant damage to your home in New Jersey, your insurance company's home adjuster will schedule a site inspection to gather the information necessary to process your claim. It is best to be prepared for these visits, but do you know what exactly they will need? Below is a guide to help.

Create a List of Losses

Before you begin the cleanup process, go through your belongings and make a complete list of irreparable or severely damaged items, including but not limited to:

  • Clothing
  • Electronics
  • Furniture
  • Carpets
  • Window Coverings
  • Photos
  • Any Additional Valuables

If you have photos available, provide of as many items as possible to your list. This will substantiate your losses. You can also provide written descriptions if you are unable to take pictures because of your belongings' destruction.

Inspect Your Home Carefully

Check your home for damage to its foundation, garage, swimming pool or any of its structural parts and prepare to discuss any concerns with the home adjuster. Notating any pre-existing defects or sudden damage preceding a flood can help define the scope of your claim.

Research Contractors

It is recommended to acquire quotes from at least three licensed contractors to clean your home or restore your belongings. Ask these vendors to provide details describing their materials, remedy methods and a working timeline your insurance provider can review before confirming coverage. Please note, a reliable disaster recovery service will not start working before receiving clearance from your insurance company.

Gather Documents and Receipts

Sorting relevant paperwork and assembling it into a single file can help prevent unnecessary delays settling your claim. In addition to an itemized list of your belonging with photos and contractor quotes, include item purchase and moving expense receipts, written art appraisals or any documents that support your claim if available. This will aid in providing answers to potential questions. Be sure to include all of your contact information on the paperwork to ensure you are able to be reached for updates.

If your home near Blackwood, New Jersey ever experiences a flood, the team at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township can work with your insurance company's home adjuster to facilitate your insurance claim.

Water Damage - What to Do When You Have Water Damage

Gloucester Township Water Removal Done Right—SERVPRO

Water may be a necessary element for life, but it can also be damaging when it's not properly controlled. When you have water inside your home, such as from a leak or burst pipe, you may quickly develop water damage. Water damage can be costly to repair and difficult to overcome, and you may be wondering what steps you need to follow to move past this issue and restore your home to its former condition. 

Remove the Water and Moisture

The first step to take when you have water damage in your home is to remove the water and moisture from the home. You cannot remove the water if water continues to flow into the home, so stop the flow of water if possible. This may mean that you must turn off the main water supply valve for the home if you're dealing with a plumbing issue. A plumber can repair the issue before you turn the water supply valve back into the on position. Once the water flow has been stopped, you can use professional extraction techniques and equipment to extract the water and restore the humidity level in the home to its normal condition. 

Restore the Home 

After the water and moisture have been removed from the home, you can begin restoring the home. Some items may be salvageable or repairable, and others may need to be tossed away. For example, because of the nature of drywall, drywall typically needs to be replaced when it has been damaged by water. Carpeting, however, may be professionally cleaned and salvaged. Your professional SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township residential water damage restoration experts know which items can be salvaged, and this can help you to save money in the restoration process.

Call a Professional Today

There are many reasons you need to contact a professional for assistance with residential water damage service in Gloucester Township rather than attempt to do this work on your own. A prime reason relates to mold growth as the moisture must be removed from the home in a matter of hours if you want to minimize the risk of mold damage developing in the home. Mold growth can add to the time and expense associated with restoring the home, so acting fast can save you money in the long run. Professionals also know which items can be salvaged and how to salvage them for the best results. They also have the powerful equipment and proven techniques necessary to complete the work in a short period of time.

Fire damage in commercial property Fire damage in commercial property

Fires damage and Smoke damage can be unavoidable acts of nature or unpredictable accidents, many fires in the home and workplace are avoidable.

The following tips, courtesy of the NFPA,(National Fire Protection Association) can help reduce the likelihood of a fire in your business or home.

 1) Watch your cooking- Stay in the kitchen if you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Never allow young children around the stove or oven, especially if they are not closely attended.


2) Give space heaters space- Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.


3) Smoke outside-  Never smoke in bed.


4) Keep Matches and lighters out of reach- Keep matches and lighters in high cabinets, preferably under a child lock.


5) Inspect electrical cords- Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs or have loose connections.


6) Be careful when using candles- Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow them out before you leave the room or go to sleep.


7) Have a fire escape plan-Make a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.


8) Install smoke alarms- Install alarms on every level of your office or home and inside bedrooms. Interconnect them so they will all sound at once.


9) Test smoke alarms- Test alarms once per month. Replace batteries once per year as needed.


10) Install sprinklers- Sprinklers can help maintain and sometimes even extinguish fires, giving your local fire department a better chance at saving your property.

11) Fire escape planning tips

Below you will find several tips that could potentially save your life or the life of a loved one should a fire break out in your home

• Install a smoke alarm on every level of your     home

• Test smoke alarm batteries every month and change them at least ones a year.
• Consider installing a 10 year lithium battery powered smoke alarm
• Practice finding your way out of the house with your eyes closed, crawling or staying low and feeling your way out of the house.
• Remember escape first, then notify the fire department.

Commercial dryer fire damage and smoke damage Commercial dryer fire damage and smoke damage

Yes, Smoke Damage can Corrode Metals, Appliances, and Electronics, in your Commercial and Residential Property!

1) Corrosion of metal surfaces is usually associated purely with acid gases. But, Smoke is corrosive, even in the absence of acid gases. Burning materials release acid, alkaline and neutral smoke, even without thermal damage.

2) The acidic nature of soot contributes to the damage of metal, glass, plastics, and fabrics. Metal will corrode if soot remains on the surface. Door knobs, plumbing fixtures, and more can suffer the effects of soot damage. Soot etches into glass windows and mirrors. Soot residue discolors plastic, vinyl, Rubber, and fabric, and damages Porous substrates.

3) Electronics, Appliances, Computers and TV's have specialized components, metals, and materials, hidden inside the exterior shell. These components are difficult to see, and determine the extent of Soot and Corrosion damage. 

In addition to Fire damage, Smoke damage, and Soot damage, your Commercial Property or Home may also suffer from Water Damage , as a result of the firefighting efforts. Our SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, provides Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service (if needed). This type of damage can be especially upsetting and destructive for your family to process. Contact us, for our Extensive Government, Commercial, and Residential References, with completed projects, and Capability Statement. Any Questions, or Require Emergency Services, Call us at 856-227-7800?Our Services include Water Mold Biohazard Termite Fire and Smoke Damage Remediation and Reconstruction Services

Commercial water damage project Commercial water damage project

Commercial Fire Damage is one of the most devastating experiences that a business owner can experience in Blackwood.

In addition to doing severe damage to the structure of the building, fires can lead to excessive, standing water on the property as well as mold invasions.

For these reasons and more, business leaders find it difficult to recover from a natural disaster or man-made accident. This is even the case when the business owner is an industry expert who manages the daily operations prudently. However, learning more about commercial fires and how fire damage remediation specialists can assist you is the first step towards limiting damages and preserving your equilibrium in the face of the disaster.

Gather information you need regarding how to grapple with a fire by reviewing the data outlined below:


Fire Threats. There are several factors that can place a commercial property in harms way leading to burning and fire damage. Some of the more prevalent factors include:
• lightning strike
• electrical fire
• blown fuse, overloaded circuitry
• adjoining business fire

The Importance Of Obtaining Business Fire Insurance

Unfortunately, some companies find that the losses endured due to a fire leave them unable to continue operating. Typically, companies who are not able to resume operations following the fire-damaging event did not maintain business interruption insurance. While any company impacted by a fire will have challenges with the fire damage restoration process, those that have business interruption insurance find it easier to keep their organizations functioning effectively. Because no company is invulnerable to fire and the damage it can cause, purchasing the insurance is important and advantageous. The insurance will cost roughly 10% more that the business owner's current premium.

SERVPRO is well known for working with insurance and property management companies to expedite and mitigate the downtime and costs of the restoration.

Preventing Commercial Fire Damage: Strategies You Can Use

In addition to purchasing business interruption insurance, there are several strategies you can implement to decrease the impact of fire damage to your Blackwood business. Some of them include:
- Avoiding the storage of flammable items on-site
- Checking your smoke alarms to ensure that they are functioning optimally, having fire extinguishers strategically placed
- Implementing a fire evacuation plan, no blocking of exit doors
- Turning off appliances and machinery when no one is present
- Ensuring that all machinery is in good condition
- Placing backup drives and important paperwork in a fireproof safe, utilizing the cloud for document backup

Soot webs from heater puffback, Soot webs from heater puffback,

The Acidic Nature of Smoke Damage and Soot Damage, Require Special Cleanup procedures.After a fire, soot damage is very problematic. Soot can be a black flaky or oily or powdery substance which forms from incomplete combustion. Fine carbonized compounds cling to surfaces in your home like ceilings and walls, plus your possessions.Soot is difficult to remove from any surface, and sometimes it is not possible to restore the surface to its pre-fire condition. There are two types of sediment you can find after soot damages your home – oily and dry. A quick check you can do to discover the type of residue you have is just to run your finger over a soot-covered surface. It is oily residue if it smears. Try not to make a mess. Better yet, leave it to us to inspect and clean. Heat from the fire pushes the soot and can cover everything in its way. Smoke looks for a kind of equilibrium and travels until its energy is used and it goes to cooler temperatures. When tested, soot can always be found on the acidic side of the pH scale. Acidic materials are destructive to a majority of elements found in nature. Over time, they keep degrading materials by oxidation which leads to discoloration, etching, corrosion or pitting. Stains over metals can yellow and soften.  Our expertise and "restore" versus "replace" mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can't be replaced. We pretest your belongings to determine what items they can restore to pre-fire condition.  Call SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800 anytime, day or night. SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ Gloucester Township NJ, is a Veteran Owned and Operated Small Business.

Right after a fire, soot and ash begin to settle onto every surface in your home, from floor to ceiling. Porous materials may experience permanent discoloration, but many other surfaces in your home can be cleaned and saved if you take immediate action. Within only a few hours, all of the surfaces in your home can be affected by the fire and smoke damage. Your furniture will likely need refinishing or heavy cleaning, the metals in your home begin to rust and corrode, your walls will start to discolor, and even far away from the fire, clothing in your closet and bedding will become affected. To avoid permanent staining from the acidic soot and smoke, take immediate action after a fire. Also, the longer your belongings and structure remain untreated after a fire, the longer the restoration process will be and could end up costing you more due to permanently damaged furniture and structural pieces. Call SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800 anytime, day or night.

Pets and Snow and Salt safety Pets and Snow and Salt Safety

Yes, your Pet's Paws, Mouth and Stomach, can be burned from Salt and De-icers!
(Frostbite on your Pets paws, can occur as well)

1) Salt and De-icers, can irritate a Pet's paws and cause chemical burns. If ingested it can cause mouth burns and gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea. To keep your Pets from consuming ice melt products on your walks, try to stop them from eating snow and drinking from puddles.

2) Even when using a pet-friendly ice melt on your walkways, it is recommended that you towel off and wipe down your pet’s paws after any time outside to help remove any winter irritants they may have encountered.

3) Make sure to carefully inspect for any snow or ice that may be stuck between your pet’s paw pads.

4) Be careful of Freezing Temperatures. Frostbite can occur with your Pet's Paws.

Don't let dogs eat any of the salt or any of the snow (especially the slushy snow) outside that may have been treated with an ice melt. Wipe your pet's paws as soon as they get inside with a damp cloth or baby wipes. Minimize paw licking until their paws are completely clean

Hot water pipe frozen, frozen pipe water damage, pex pipe frozen, Hot water pipe frozen, frozen pipe water damage, pex pipe frozen,

Water pipes may Freeze, and cause water damage, and possible Mold Growth, requiring Water Damage restoration and Mold remediation. 

Pipes that freeze most frequently, are those that are exposed to cold weather. Examples are outdoor water faucets, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like Basements, Garages, crawl spaces, attics, or kitchen cabinets. Toilet Bowls and Toilet Tanks, can also Freeze up.


Pipes that run against exterior walls, or inside Wall Cavities or Wall Chases, that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing.

A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can leak up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing flooding, serious structural damage, and the immediate potential for mold.

To prevent the formation of ice in pipes due to freezing temperatures and to prevent the pipes from bursting, here are some tips:

1) Always place piping in heated areas of a building.
2) Properly insulate attics, exterior walls and other areas lacking adequate heating.
3) Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors and other conditions that allow heat loss.
4) Keep exterior doors closed, even if not in the immediate vicinity of piping.
5) Maintain Proper heat in buildings at all times.

If you think you may have Flood Damage or Water Damage, then call us for a Free inspection and Free Estimate.

1/6/2022 (Permalink)

Ice dam damage, roof water damage, attic water damage near me, ice dam damage to a property, Ice dam damage, roof water damage, attic water damage near me, ice dam damage to a property,

Yes, Ice Dams can cause Water Intrusion, and Water Damage, and Possible Mold Growth, to your Commercial and Residential property. 

An ice dam can damage both your roof and the inside of your Commercial and Residential Property.  Ice Dams will also put gutters and downspouts at risk too. 

Ice Dams may also contribute to Un-Noticed Mold growth in Attics and Plenum Spaces.

Ice Dams are a common sight in The NorthEast United States, and our SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, has dealt with quite a few of these Commercial and Residential Projects.

HOW DO ICE DAMS FORM?

An ice dam forms when the roof over the attic gets warm enough to melt the underside of the layer of snow on the roof. The water trickles down between the layer of snow and the shingles until it reaches the eave of the roof, which stays cold because it extends beyond the side of the house. There, the water freezes, gradually growing into a mound of ice.  

The flatter the pitch of the roof, the easier it is for an ice dam to get a grip. Gutters at the eaves can also trap snow and ice. If snow and ice build up high enough in the gutter, then the gutters can provide a foundation for an ice dam.


If you think you may have Roof or Attic Water Intrusion or Water Damage, then call us for a Free inspection and Free Estimate.

Water & Mold damage restoration, water damage restoration cost, flood cuts in drywall, Water & Mold damage restoration, water damage restoration cost, flood cuts in drywall,

What is the Purpose of a Flood Cut?

After a heavy storm, or Water Damage intrusion, it is likely that your Commercial or Residential property, will experience a bit of flooding. When this happens, you will probably hear the water remediation technicians you hire talk about making a flood cut. A flood cut is a mark that is made 12 inches above the spot where the water damage stops. Our team at SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, will remove affected materials and substrates below the flood cut, to stop the spread of contamination and prevent mold growth.
What Circumstances Require a Flood Cut?

Any time there is damage that cannot be dried with a fan, professionals are probably going to use a flood cut to be on the safe side. Insulation cannot be dried, so if there is wet insulation, the wall has to be cut out and the insulation removed. If the water is contaminated by storm-related debris or sewage, the wall must be discarded. If tests show any harmful microbes, the affected area must be safely Removed.

If you think you may have Flood Damage or Water Damage, then call us for a Free inspection and Free Estimate.

Cleaning Soot from Fireplace, Creosote buildup, Chimney Fire

12/9/2021 (Permalink)

Cleaning Soot from Fireplace, Creosote buildup, Chimney Fire Cleaning Soot from Fireplace, Creosote buildup, Chimney Fire

Fireplaces, Chimneys, Vent Pipes, and Rooftop Exhausts, need to be Inspected reguarly for Maintenance, and Interior Flue Cleaning.

These Exhaust outlets, allow fumes, smoke, vapors, and gases, to Exit from your fireplace, furnace and Natural Gas water heater, so it’s important to maintain them properly.

Neglecting your chimney can lead to very expensive major repairs.

The three most serious problems that result from poorly maintained chimneys are:
1) Carbon monoxide poisoning
2) Chimney fires and Heater Soot/Creosote Puffbacks.
3) Premature failure of the fireplace and chimney, which leads to Water Damage intrusion, and possibly Structural issues with your property.

As the smoke rises up the chimney, it comes into contact with the relatively cooler interior of the chimney (the flue), where some of the smoke condenses, like steam on a glass of cold water. The resulting condensed smoke is called creosote. Creosote is a black or brown gummy substance that builds up on the flue. Once a sufficient amount of creosote builds up, it can catch fire.

As Veteran Owned and Operated, SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, offers free estimates for Heater Soot cleaning, Fire damage restoration, Smoke and Odor cleaning and remediation.

Mistakes can happen to anyone, but when one of your tenants has a lapse in judgment or attention that results in water damage to your apartment complex you have a lot at stake. Not only do you need to respond to the immediate problem your renter caused but you also must have the entire property inspected for water damage that may have spread to other areas and inconvenienced other tenants. In fact, it is common for another one of your lessees to be the first to bring the water damage issues to your attention. Flooding or seeping water from another unit initially may be noticed by dripping from a ceiling or down a wall into another apartment. SERVPRO is the company to call to ensure that you find the source of the leak and create a plan to repair the water damage throughout your commercial building.

Our technicians are trained to follow the path of water damage wherever it meanders throughout a building. We can make certain that the leak is stopped and the damage repaired in every unit affected quickly and with as little disturbance to your tenants as possible.

There is a reason why busy cafes and restaurants are at a higher risk of flooding than some other businesses. In this type of building, good drainage is essential. Huge amounts of water are needed every day – for cooking and cleaning – and they have to be disposed of quickly.


It is why many restaurants have a fast moving, below-floor drainage system, with a float activated sump pump. It gets periodically drained, once the water rises above a certain level. Problems occur when cooking oils and organic waste make it into the drain. They clog up the channels, which commonly leads to commercial flood damage in Blackwood and Gloucester Township restaurants.

Keep reading to find out how the experts at SERVPRO deal with faulty sump pumps and flooded restaurants in the local area.

Step One: Inspect the Pump

The first step is to inspect the pump and identify the problem. If it is just a blockage, the process is quick, and the original pump can likely be used to extract the standing water.

If there seems to be a fault with the pump, SERVPRO has a portable extractor which can be used to remove the excess liquid. Once the water is no longer a problem, we can arrange for a sump pump repair.

Step Two: Start the Drying Process

Dehumidification is very effective, but it extracts water at a slower rate than other methods. It is why our technicians use as many accelerated techniques as possible before they bring in the dehumidifiers.

The good news is that restaurant drains are typically very shallow. They may cover the whole of the kitchen, but they do not extend very deep. The repair team can place air scrubbers (two in this case) inside the drain cavity to continue the extraction.

Step Three: Bring in the Dehumidifier

The importance of speed is not a safety issue, as the water is likely to be Category 1 or 2. However, as long as the drain is out of operation, the restaurant is dysfunctional and unable to perform at the required level. So, we have to get the area dried out quickly.

The best solution is a small capacity dehumidifier. It gets placed inside the drain cavity. For a small to medium sized restaurant, we would likely use a machine which extracts around 150 pints of moisture per day.

Step Four: Clean the Drain

It is not always necessary, but if there is a possibility of mold, SERVPRO treats the walls of the drain with an anti-fungal agent. In a restaurant, the risk of mold growth is slightly higher, because bits of organic waste inevitably end up in the water.

Normally, an air scrubber or deodorizer is needed if there is evidence of developing mold and unpleasant smells. If you notify our team of the problem quickly, this should not happen. It is only after 48 hours that Category 1 and 2 water sources start to stagnate and fill with bacteria and other nasty substances.

If your restaurant is struggling with drainage or flooding problems, you need help from the experts. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. provides reliable, professional flood damage repairs. Call us 24/7 at (856) 227-7800.

How to find a leak in the roof, Roof Leak repair near me, Water damage restoration, Water damage intrusion

How to find a leak in the roof, Roof Leak repair near me, Water damage restoration, Water damage intrusion How to find a leak in the roof, Roof Leak repair near me, Water damage restoration, Water damage intrusion,
 Roof leaks can occur on any size and type of roof, causing major water damage intrusion, possible mold growth, corrosion of fasteners, and possible property structure issues.


Wind damage, broken branches falling, leaves clogging drains, snow and ice melt, hail damage, embedded nails or screws in boots and shoes during inspections, are some of the unexpected events which can lead to water damage into your property.

Some of the areas where roof water leaks can occur are:

1) Shingles are worn or rolled down. Bitumen sheet is lifting up.
2) Roof boots around vent pipes are worn and brittle.
3) Flashing around chimneys, and windows, and dormers are prying off and not coated with roof cement.
4) Gutters can form ice dams, or even deteriorate facia and soffits, if too much weight.
5) Incorrect pitch of roof, to allow rain and snow to drain off.

A best practice is to inspect your commercial or residential roof at least 2 times a year, or even more after major weather events.

As a Veteran Owned and Operated Small Business, SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ and Gloucester Township NJ, offers free estimates for government, industrial, commercial and residential properties, for interior roof water leaks, and water damage inspections, and estimates for remediation, and repairs.

Metal-framed and gypsum wall systems, have many advantages:

1) They are low-cost, lightweight (which pays a special premium in seismic regions),
2) They have remarkable fire resistance and separating properties for their weight. These advantages have allowed steel stud construction to be the most common method of constructing both interior and exterior wall systems in buildings of noncombustible construction.

Unfortunately, when subject to moisture ingress, Interstitial Condensation, or moisture accumulation, durability has not proved to be a characteristic of these systems.
There have been numerous buildings in North America, that have required major repairs to exterior steel stud-framed walls due to corrosion caused by water ingress.

It might not seem like a stormwater problem, but animal waste is one of the many seemingly small sources of pollution that can add up to big problems for water quality, and even human health.

Animal waste contains two main types of pollutants that harm local waters: nutrients and pathogens.

When this waste ends up in water bodies, it decomposes, releasing nutrients that cause excessive growth of algae and weeds. This makes the water murky, green, smelly, and even unusable for swimming, boating, or fishing. 

The pathogens, disease causing bacteria and viruses, can also make local waters unswimmable and unfishable, and have caused severe illness in humans.

So, the easiest way to avoid these problems is to clean up after your pet each and every time, and dispose of the waste properly.

fire and Smoke damage restoration with commercial dryers and commercial property, fire and Smoke damage restoration, with commercial dryers and commercial property,

Yes, Smoke Damage can Corrode Metals, Appliances, and Electronics, in your Commercial and Residential Property!

1) Corrosion of metal surfaces is usually associated purely with acid gases. But, Smoke is corrosive, even in the absence of acid gases. Burning materials release acid, alkaline and neutral smoke, even without thermal damage.

2) The acidic nature of soot contributes to the damage of metal, glass, plastics, and fabrics. Metal will corrode if soot remains on the surface. Door knobs, plumbing fixtures, and more can suffer the effects of soot damage. Soot etches into glass windows and mirrors. Soot residue discolors plastic, vinyl, Rubber, and fabric, and damages Porous substrates.

3) Electronics, Appliances, Computers and TV's have specialized components, metals, and materials, hidden inside the exterior shell. These components are difficult to see, and determine the extent of Soot and Corrosion damage.

Fire Damage restoration and Water damage mitigation and restoration might be required, for Fire Sprinkler Systems, if they fail, freeze or corrode. 

Fire sprinkler systems are installed in commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities to protect occupants, property structures, and contents. These systems contain fires and help save lives.

Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) indicate that the civilian death rate from fires is 87% lower in buildings with sprinklers, compared to properties without fire sprinkler systems.

Pet waste is similar to a Sewage cleanup, and does require Biohazard Cleanup services 

Pet waste carries a number of Biohazards, bacteria, parasites and other diseases that can be transmitted to humans, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Dog droppings can transmit different worms that can affect us, especially children. Roundworms, for example, are common in dogs, and can remain alive in the soil for years. According to the CDC, 14 percent of Americans test positive for these worms.

Washing Machine Hoses: A Disaster Waiting to Happen, and Water Damage may Occur. 

Commercial and Residential Property owners  need to know: Water damage caused by leaking or malfunctioning home appliances, Especially washing machines, has a very high occurrence. 

Unlikely as it may seem, water damage from washing machines, is one of the top five causes of claims to home insurers, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety.

Of all water damage claims related to washing machines, more than half – nearly 55% – are from water supply hoses that leaked or burst.

How to Protect Your Commercial and Residential Property:

Conduct a monthly inspection of the hot and cold washing machine lines. Look for cracks, bulging spots, and wet areas.

If you have a Natural Gas Clothes Washer or Dryer, Make sure your home is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors!

Yes, your Hot Water Heater, can Corrode, and Burst, and cause Water Damage.

Based on the manufacturer's suggested service life, the life expectancy of a Hot Water Heater is about 8 to 12 years.  That varies with the location and design of the unit, quality of installation, maintenance schedule and water quality.

If your water heater is more than 10 years old, leaks around the base of the tank, and / or works erratically or not at all, then it's probably time for replacement. 

However, before you begin the replacement process, make sure that is not an electrical problem, such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

For a Natural Gas water heater, Make sure that the gas is connected Correctly, and the pilot light is lit. The tank may need to be Flushed out, to remove sediment from the tank.

***If you have a Natural Gas Heater, Make sure your home is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors!

Paper is great for NewsPapers, but not great for Walls and Mold Growth


Wallpaper acts as a vapor barrier, trapping moisture  behind it and in combination with the organic wallpaper paste, provides the perfect conditions for prolific mold growth.

Moisture from outside, moves through the walls  in the form of water vapor,  and evaporates into drier indoor air. This moisture would then be removed from the air and expelled out of the house as a byproduct of the HVAC system heating or cooling the air. But the Wallpaper barrier, may not allow that process to happen.

Besides causing a major business interruption, a mold problem can present a serious risk for people exposed at your commercial or residential property

Top 10 Hidden Places, You Might Find Mold Growth in your Commercial and Residential Property

11/17/2021 (Permalink)

Top 10 Hidden Places, You Might Find Mold Growth in your Commercial and Residential Property Top 10 Hidden Places, You Might Find Mold Growth in your Commercial and Residential Property

Top 10 Hidden Places, You Might Find Mold Growth in your Commercial and Residential Property 


1) Window Sills: Window sills are frequently exposed to moisture from condensation. Dust and dirt accumulates in the grooves and tracks of the sills, which can promote spores to grow quickly.

2) Refrigerator Drip Pans: The pans used to collect condensation for refrigerators are rarely seen, and can also promote mold growth.

3) Wallpaper: Acts as a vapor Barrier, and the paper and adhesive are conducive for mold growth. Very problematic in Bathrooms.

4) Window Air Conditioners and HVAC Units: Condensation and Drip Pans collect condensation underneath, and sometimes inside these units.

5) Attics: Roof Leaks and Condensation issues are prevalent in Attics.

6) Front Loading Washing Machines: The gasket around the door is wet all the time when the washer is running and doesn’t get to dry out.

7) Chimneys: Chimney Caps may be Not installed or Damaged, allowing Mold growth on the Interior Bricks and Mortar joints, from Rain, Snow, and Tree Leaves.

8) Carpet and Carpet Padding: Foot traffic with wet and dirty shoes, Pet accidents, and high humidity levels, promote mold growth.

9) Underneath Kitchen and Bathroom sinks: Small leaks and/or high humidity levels can cause Mold growth, since Wood and laminate cabinets are closed up.

10) Shower Curtain, shower and bathtub, and Bathroom Exhaust fan: High Humidity levels, promote Mold growth.
Mold growth can also occur, on your shampoo bottles, washcloths, towels, loofahs, on faucet and shower heads, on tile grout, and your toothbrush.

Freezing Temperatures will cause Water Pipes to Freeze and Burst. Are your Water Pipes Insulated? 

Insulating your Hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature 2°F–4°F Hotter,  than uninsulated pipes can deliver, allowing you to lower your water temperature setting.

You also won't have to wait as long for hot water, when you turn on a Faucet or Showerhead, which helps conserve water and save utility costs.

The distance traveled by the pipes is far, the pipes are exposed to very cold air (in which case they should be insulated anyway to prevent freezing), and if your Property uses a lot of water, much higher energy savings can be obtained.

Make sure to Insulate your Cold Water Pipes as well, to prevent pipes from Freezing.

Make sure all insulation Gaps and Seams are sealed tight as well, for the best results, and to prevent Condensation and Corrosion.

Otherwise, the Secondary Damages will Cost you lots of and Decreased Property Value.

Preventing Chimney fire, creosote, smoke damage near me, fire damage near me

11/8/2021 (Permalink)

Preventing Chimney fire, creosote, smoke damage near me, fire damage near me Preventing Chimney fire, creosote, smoke damage near me, fire damage near me

Fireplaces, Chimneys, Vent Pipes, and Rooftop Exhausts, need to be Inspected regularly for Maintenance, and Interior Flue Cleaning.

These Exhaust outlets, allow fumes, smoke, vapors, and gases, to Exit from your fireplace, furnace and Natural Gas water heater, so it’s important to maintain them properly.

Neglecting your chimney can lead to very expensive major repairs.

The 3 most serious problems, that result from poorly maintained chimneys are:
1) Carbon monoxide poisoning
2) Chimney fires and Heater Soot/Creosote Puffbacks.
3) Premature failure of the fireplace and chimney, which leads to Water Damage intrusion, and possibly Structural issues with your property.

As the smoke rises up the chimney, it comes into contact with the relatively cooler interior of the chimney (the flue), where some of the smoke condenses, like steam on a glass of cold water. The resulting condensed smoke is called creosote. Creosote is a black or brown gummy substance that builds up on the flue. Once a sufficient amount of creosote builds up, it can catch fire.

Our SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ Team never becomes Bored, when Providing Emergency Fire Damage Board Ups, for your Commercial and Residential Property.

Electricity is needed to heat and cool your Commercial and Residential property, and to operate light fixtures, appliances, and electronics. Also, there is a greater the risk of electrical-related fires, with too many items plugged into outlets.

Top 5 safety measures, to reduce the risk of electrical fires in Your Property:

1) Have your Commercial and Residential property, inspected for loose wires, shorts, and Non Grounded, faulty wiring that increase the risk of potential electrical fires, as electrical wiring eventually needs to be replaced. Knob and Tube wiring, may have fraying A.C.M. wire sheathing.


2) Install a smoke detector on every level of the home and inside each bedroom. It is vital to make sure the smoke detectors are working properly by testing them every month.


3) Replace cords that are loose, frayed, or contain cracks. Never place cords under mats or carpeting. Don't tack cords to surfaces with nails or staples.


4) Only use the correct wattage light bulbs in all light fixtures.


5) Use a surge protector to guard appliances and other electronics in your Property.

2) Appliances: Due to Gasket Failure, Belts, Hose, and Drain Hose Failure, Corrosion, Clogs, Age, and improper connections and installation.
3) Clogged Drains: clogged with dirt, grease, hair and other substances, like tree roots.

Have you Inspected Your Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms, to make sure they are Operating Properly?

There are smoke alarms and alert devices that alert people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. 

These devices include strobe lights that flash to alert people when the smoke alarm sounds.

Also, Pillow or Bed shakers designed to work with your smoke alarm also can be purchased and installed. These work by shaking the pillow or bed when the smoke alarm sounds. These Safety and Alarm Products can be Found and Bought Online.

Some Smoke and Fire Safety tips:

1) Install a bedside alert device that responds to the sound of the smoke and CO alarms. Use of a low frequency alarm can also wake a sleeping person with mild to severe hearing loss.
2) Sleep with your mobility device, glasses, and phone close to your bed.
3)Keep pathways like hallways lit with night lights, and free from clutter to make sure everyone can get out safely. Have a Evacuation Plan with Fire Drills and Escape Routes.

What is a Heater PuffBack? Cleaning smoke damage, Heater Puffback in NJ, Soot damage in NJ, Smoke damage in NJ What is a Heater PuffBack? Cleaning smoke damage, Heater Puffback in NJ, Soot damage in NJ, Smoke damage in NJ

What is a Heater PuffBack?

1) Definition of heating system puffback: a puffback at oil fired heating equipment is literally an explosion of un-burned oil in the combustion chamber of an oil-fired boiler, furnace, or water heater. 

2) Depending on the quantity of oil that is ignited, the puffback can damage the boiler itself, may cause the flue vent connector (stackpipe) to become disconnected, and may blow soot throughout the building 

3) The cause of this puffback explosion is the ignition of un-burned oil lying on or in the bottom of the heating appliance combustion chamber.

Before a catastrophic Heater puffback occurs, Make sure you have a HVAC Heater Tune Up and or an Inspection, of your Heating System. 

Sometimes a Chimney or Vent, can be clogged, which is a Hazardous issue.

Call SERVPRO for Your Blackwood Commercial Fire Damage

Commercial Fire Damage is one of the most devastating experiences that a business owner can experience in Blackwood. In addition to doing severe damage to the structure of the building, fires can lead to excessive, standing water on the property as well as mold invasions. For these reasons and more, business leaders find it difficult to recover from a natural disaster or man-made accident. This is even the case when the business owner is an industry expert who manages the daily operations prudently. However, learning more about commercial fires and how fire damage remediation specialists can assist you is the first step towards limiting damages and preserving your equilibrium in the face of the disaster. Gather information you need regarding how to grapple with a fire by reviewing the data outlined below:

Fire Threats. There are several factors that can place a commercial property in harms way leading to burning and fire damage. Some of the more prevalent factors include:
• lightning strike
• electrical fire
• blown fuse, overloaded circuitry
• adjoining business fire

The Importance Of Obtaining Business Fire Insurance

Unfortunately, some companies find that the losses endured due to a fire leave them unable to continue operating. Typically, companies who are not able to resume operations following the fire-damaging event did not maintain business interruption insurance. While any company impacted by a fire will have challenges with the fire damage restoration process, those that have business interruption insurance find it easier to keep their organizations functioning effectively. Because no company is invulnerable to fire and the damage it can cause, purchasing the insurance is important and advantageous. The insurance will cost roughly 10% more that the business owner's current premium. SERVPRO is well known for working with insurance and property management companies to expedite and mitigate the downtime and costs of the restoration.

Preventing Commercial Fire Damage: Strategies You Can Use

In addition to purchasing business interruption insurance, there are several strategies you can implement to decrease the impact of fire damage to your Blackwood business. Some of them include:
- Avoiding the storage of flammable items on-site
- Checking your smoke alarms to ensure that they are functioning optimally, having fire extinguishers strategically placed
- Implementing a fire evacuation plan, no blocking of exit doors
- Turning off appliances and machinery when no one is present
- Ensuring that all machinery is in good condition
- Placing backup drives and important paperwork in a fireproof safe, utilizing the cloud for document backup

Fire and the resulting smoke from such a destructive force can cause damage to all areas of your home, not just the ground zero location of the fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the costs of direct property damage as a result of house fires has increased since 2011. 2015 saw $7 billion worth of damage.

Fire damage in Gloucester Township is stressful and can be a scary surprise for any homeowner. SERVPRO has seen firsthand what fire and smoke damage can do to a home and this is the reason why we work quickly and restore homes with the best methods and latest technology to get you and your family back in your beds, safe and sound.

Reasons To Never Extend The Cleaning Process Post-Fire
When a fire has occurred in your home, it is crucial to call a fire cleanup and restoration expert like SERVPRO right away to respond to your emergency. Extending the response time can have many consequences to the living spaces and structure of your home. Right after a fire, soot and ash begin to settle onto every surface in your home, from floor to ceiling. Porous materials may experience permanent discoloration, but many other surfaces in your home can be cleaned and saved if you take immediate action.

Within only a few hours, all of the surfaces in your home can be affected by the fire and smoke damage. Your furniture will likely need refinishing or heavy cleaning, the metals in your home begin to rust and corrode, your walls will start to discolor, and even far away from the fire, clothing in your closet and bedding will become affected. To avoid permanent staining from the acidic soot and smoke, take immediate action after a fire. Also, the longer your belongings and structure remain untreated after a fire, the longer the restoration process will be and could end up costing you more due to permanently damaged furniture and structural pieces.

The prospect of having mold remediation specialists enter your home and set up decontamination areas is the stuff of science fiction movies for the most part. If you have never experienced extensive mold damage before, it will be an entirely new process. And yes, it can look a little strange at first.

The reality, however, is that containment booths and decontamination areas are a lot less dramatic than they seem. They are very common, and they really are not designed to protect homeowners at all. The primary purpose of mold containment is to protect the property. Mold damage in Gloucester Township homes can spread very quickly if left unchecked.

This guide to the containment procedures used by SERVPRO will tell you a little more about what to expect.

What Does Containment Look Like?

The level of containment will depend entirely on the extent of the problem. Usually, however, we only set up small areas and cause minimal disruption to daily routines. If the mold damage is spreading across a bedroom wall, for example, the SERVPRO team may need to establish a containment perimeter around the room.

While this does mean that you will not be able to enter, there is no danger to worry about. Containment prevents mold spores from being carried out of the space and into other areas of the home. The technicians will wear special PPE suits and footwear, which are treated to neutralize spores every time that they exit the perimeter.

There will be clear polyethylene sheets set up around the affected area. They may be hung over doorways, across carpets, and along ceilings in some cases. If items or materials are removed from the containment space, they will be wrapped in this plastic first. Once again, it can look a little strange, but the SERVPRO team will discuss any concerns that you might have.

What Happens Inside the Containment Area?

The processes carried out inside the containment area are no different to those that are used on any other mold remediation job. The use of polyethylene sheets simply helps to maintain certain drying conditions. The technicians will set up dehumidifiers, negative air movers, and possibly ozone generators to deal with the source of the damp.

It may be necessary to keep some of the machines (such as fans) running constantly over a period of days. You will be informed of this, and the experts will be on site regularly to check progress.

Don’t let mold and mold damage take over your home. Get in touch with the experts at SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township. We are experienced, highly skilled, and provide excellent customers service. Call us 24/7 at 856-227-7800

Call SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ for Your Blackwood Commercial Water and Fire Damage

Commercial water and fire damage, is one of the most devastating experiences that a business owner can experience in Blackwood. In addition to doing severe damage to the structure of the building, fires can lead to excessive, standing water on the property as well as mold invasions. For these reasons and more, business leaders find it difficult to recover from a natural disaster or man-made accident. This is even the case when the business owner is an industry expert who manages the daily operations prudently. However, learning more about commercial fires and how fire damage remediation specialists can assist you is the first step towards limiting damages and preserving your equilibrium in the face of the disaster. Gather information you need regarding how to grapple with a fire by reviewing the data outlined below:

Fire Threats. There are several factors that can place a commercial property in harms way leading to burning and fire damage. Some of the more prevalent factors include:
• lightning strike
• electrical fire
• blown fuse, overloaded circuitry
• adjoining business fire

Call us to make it “Like it never even happened.” (856) 227-7800

The Importance Of Obtaining Business Fire Insurance

Unfortunately, some companies find that the losses endured due to a fire leave them unable to continue operating. Typically, companies who are not able to resume operations following the fire-damaging event did not maintain business interruption insurance. While any company impacted by a fire will have challenges with the fire damage restoration process, those that have business interruption insurance find it easier to keep their organizations functioning effectively. Because no company is invulnerable to fire and the damage it can cause, purchasing the insurance is important and advantageous. The insurance will cost roughly 10% more that the business owner's current premium. SERVPRO is well known for working with insurance and property management companies to expedite and mitigate the downtime and costs of the restoration.

Preventing Commercial Fire Damage: Strategies You Can Use

In addition to purchasing business interruption insurance, there are several strategies you can implement to decrease the impact of fire damage to your Blackwood business. Some of them include:
- Avoiding the storage of flammable items on-site
- Checking your smoke alarms to ensure that they are functioning optimally, having fire extinguishers strategically placed
- Implementing a fire evacuation plan, no blocking of exit doors
- Turning off appliances and machinery when no one is present
- Ensuring that all machinery is in good condition
- Placing backup drives and important paperwork in a fireproof safe, utilizing the cloud for document backup

Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night

Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night

Are your Allergies and Asthma getting worse staying Inside?

Dermatologists say that an evening shower is good for your skin because it cleans it before sleep. Basically, there's always something in the air, (dirt, Pathogens, pollution), and the last thing you want to do is leave that on your skin while you go to sleep in a clean bed.

If you're an allergy sufferer, a night shower is best to wash pollen off your skin and hair before you try to go to sleep. Or for the months of March and April, you could shower as soon as you walk in the door every evening.

A shower at night affects your circadian rhythm, too, in a good way. Sleep experts note that a nighttime shower changes your body temperature in a way that may help you get to sleep faster and more easily.

Triggers for Asthma and Allergies include:
1) Mold and Pollen Spores From Outside and inside
2) Dust Mites and Insect waste/debris
3) Pet hair
4) Smoke from Fireplaces, Furnaces, Cigarettes, Cigars, and Candles
5) Scented products like Candles, cleaners, air fresheners, and perfumes, especially if they contain a bunch of chemical ingredients.

Does your Wood Flooring, Wood Subfloor, and Wood Substrates, have Cupping Crowning or Bowing 

Don't Roll the Dice, and Your Risk with your Contractor! We can solve that Problem for you! 

As a hygroscopic material, wood will absorb or let off moisture until it reaches equilibrium, with the ambient humidity of the environment it’s currently being stored in. The moisture content at which the wood stops absorbing or letting off moisture is called the Equilibrium Moisture Content, (EMC), of the wood.

However, EMC values for wood can vary from one part of the Country  to the next. This is because of differences in ambient humidity and temperatures. Also, the time of year can have an impact on when wood reaches equilibrium, as temperatures and humidity levels change. Different Wood Species, can also vary in EMC.

Happy Memorial Day 2021 from SERVPRO Restoration of Blackwood NJ

5/27/2021 (Permalink)

Happy Memorial Day 2021 from SERVPRO Restoration of Blackwood NJ - Image of American Flag Happy Memorial Day 2021 from SERVPRO Restoration of Blackwood NJ

In observance of Memorial Day, we Remember and Honor those who fought and served our Country.

We also have two Armed Forces Veterans, on our Team to recognize as well, for their service.

The National Moment of Remembrance, is an annual event that asks Americans, wherever they are at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, to pause for a duration of one minute to remember those who have died in military service to the United States. The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying time off of work for the national holiday.

Have a Safe Memorial Day weekend from SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ.

What requires more Certified Training and Safety, compared to Mold Remediation? Sewage Backups and Biohazards!

Commercial and Residential toilets, Sewage drains, Sewage Lateral Lines, shower and tub drains, utility tub drains, Septic Tanks, and Sump Pumps, can clog and back up, at any time, causing thousands of dollars in damage to floors, ceilings, walls, HVAC Systems, electrical systems, and a property's structural integrity.

Mitigation, remediation, and restoration costs of sewage backups, can be anywhere from a couple of thousand dollars, to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If you experience a sewer backup situation, then immediately arrange for the cleanup of your property, with a Certified Biohazard Trained, insured, and Licensed restoration company.

Sewage cleanup is considered Category 3, Biohazard cleaning, and requires special certified training, proper personal protection, specialized equipment, specialized cleanup and disposal, and proper treatment of the affected areas.

Using chlorine bleach to kill mold, and Microbial growth, is probably one of the worst things you can do, to use in your Commercial and Residential property.

Best practices, include using a non-Chlorine based, non-corrosive, EPA registered Fungicide, to remediate the Microbial growth.

There are 3 Conditions, regarding Mold Remediation criteria and protocols:

1) Condition 1 (normal fungal ecology): an indoor environment that may have settled spores, fragments, or traces of actual growth.
2) Condition 2 (settled spores): an indoor environment which is primarily contaminated with settled spores that were dispersed directly or indirectly from a Condition 3 area, and which may have traces of actual growth.
3) Condition 3 (actual growth): an indoor environment contaminated with the presence of actual mold growth and associated spores. Actual growth includes growth that is active or dormant, visible or hidden.


Have a Certified Trained company, to inspect the microbial conditions, in your property. 

Mold spreads its roots deep into porous surfaces.

Simply spraying a bleach solution on the surface won’t kill mold spores at their roots.

Here are some reasons Why you should NOT to Use Bleach to Kill Mold:
1) Bleach is Caustic, with High VOC's and can cause Burns to your Eyes, Nose and Throat and Skin. Your Pets paws, can get burned, and Pets lick their paws.
2) Bleach encourages toxic mold growth on porous surfaces because it provides excess moisture.
3) Bleach is extremely corrosive, and corrodes Metal Fasteners, such as Screws and Nails, Water Pipes, Waste and Drain Pipes.
4) Bleach only removes the color from mold.
5) Chlorine bleach is extremely harmful to surfaces.

(OPPPs), Opportunistic Premise Plumbing Pathogens, are the primary cause of waterborne disease in the United States. One type of OPPP, can develop in water supply systems and result in Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia.
About 5,000 cases of Legionnaires’ disease are reported each year in the U.S., according to the CDC.

There are several key elements that can promote the growth of Legionella bacteria in a water supply system including:
1) Excessive water age
2) Biofilm
3) Lukewarm water
4) Dead legs
5) Insufficient disinfectant
6) Inadequate corrosion control
7) Cross connections

Three key elements contribute to Legionella risk:
1) Intrusion introduces Legionella into the system
2) Growth occurs when Legionella increases within the system
3) Transmission happens when aerosols, or small water droplets, containing Legionella are inhaled

As Veteran Owned and Operated, SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, offers Strategic Emergency Services for Water damage restoration service, to prevent Secondary Damages to your property.

Yes, Legionella Bacteria will Cause Category 1, Fresh water, to change to Biohazard, Category 3 Water Damage Restoration!

Unfortunately, during the ongoing CoronaVirus Pandemic, many buildings were completely closed or shut down. The result from the building shut downs and vacancies, stagnant water might be present, in all of the buildings water systems, and water sources, which can lead to Legionella outbreaks.

After Legionella Bacteria grows and multiplies in a building water system, water containing Legionella then has to spread in droplets small enough for people to breathe in. The Biofilm is difficult to destroy.

Major Sources of Legionella Include:
1) Showers, Showerheads and sink faucets
2) Cooling towers/Evaporative coolers
3) Hot tubs
4) Decorative fountains and water features
5) Hot water tanks/heaters
6) Large plumbing systems, and Pipe Dead Legs
7) Sump Pumps/Sump Pump Pits
8) Nebulizers/Humidifiers
9) Windshield Washer Reservoirs
10) Central Air Conditioning Drip Pans and Condensation outlets
11) Misting systems

Yes, Your Dishwasher can have a Seal leak, Overfill with Water, or failed Water Supply Line!

After some time, Water Damage and Mold can be visible around the Cabinet housing, and floor area. The floor might show signs of Buckling, Crowning, Bowing, and Cupping.

Here are some steps, to identify a Dishwasher Water Leak:

1) The Dishwasher water line connects the household water supply. The water line typically runs at the back of the dishwasher and under sink cabinet.
2) Turn off the Electric Breaker to the Dishwasher.
3) Turn off the valve that supplies water to the Dishwasher.
4) A main cause of the Copper, Plastic, and Stainless Steel Water Line failure, is the line is Pinched or Curled up to tight. This creates pressure and a weak point in the Water Line.
5) The Dishwasher door seal might need replacement.
6) The Drain might be clogged, loose or needs replacement.
7) The Drain Hose might be loose, clogged or needs replacement.

Yes, your Garage Fire Sprinkler Pipes and other Water Pipes can Freeze up and Burst!

1) The pipes in your Property, that are most likely to freeze, are those exposed to extreme cold, like Sprinkler and outdoor swimming pool lines.
2) Pipes located in unheated areas of your house are also at risk such as basements and crawl spaces, your attic or garage, and kitchen cabinets.
3) Pipes and Fire Sprinker Pipes, that are located inside Garages and on exterior walls, also lack insulation and are therefore in danger of freezing.
4) When the temperatures outside are freezing, Keep the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to let warmer air circulate around the plumbing.
5) Maintain a constant thermostat temperature during the night and day, even if away or on Vacation, instead of lowering the temperature at night.
6) Have a Professional, inspect your unused Water lines, to make sure they are drained properly.

Yes, your Hot Water Heater, can Corrode, and Burst, and cause Water Damage!

Based on the manufacturer's suggested service life, the life expectancy of a Hot Water Heater is about 8 to 12 years. That varies with the location and design of the unit, quality of installation, maintenance schedule and water quality.

If your water heater is more than 10 years old, leaks around the base of the tank, and / or works erratically or not at all, it's probably time for replacement. However, before you begin the replacement process, make sure that is not an electrical problem, such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

For a Natural Gas water heater, Make sure that the gas is connected and the pilot light is lit. The tank may need to be Flushed out, to remove sediment from the tank.

***If you have a Natural Gas Heater, Make sure your home is equipped with carbon monoxide detectors!

Hire a Professional, to perform an Inspection, and for Maintenance of your Hot Water Heater.

Yes, your Washing Machine Hose, can Fail, and Burst!

Water damage can be caused by leaking or malfunctioning home appliances, especially washing machines. Unlikely as it may seem, water damage from washing machines is one of the top five causes of claims to home insurers.

Of all water damage claims related to washing machines, more than half – nearly 55% – are from water supply hoses that leaked or burst. And these claims are costly, with the average claim running to more than $6,000.

Over time, most washing machine hoses, even those that are installed properly, will eventually fail, leading to leaks or catastrophic floods caused when the hoses burst. Failure may be caused any of several factors, including age, installation error, poor-quality materials, and poor design.

Reguarlly Inspect your Washer Hoses, when you are performing Washing of Clothes.

Yes, Water Damage to your Commercial or Residential Property, can Attract Termites!

Subterranean Termites prefer living in water damaged wood as they need to be surrounded by moisture. Normally they live underground in a cool, damp environment, so wood makes a great replacement home, and this can cause serious problems for your Property structure.

Termites are the silent destroyers of both Commercial and Residential Properties, eating the Property infrastructure. Termites are quiet, so Property Owners, have no idea that the termites are damaging the property, until they have caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage.

***If you have Water Intrusion, Condensation Leaks, Interstitial Condensation, Water Pipe Burst, Sprinkler Pipe Burst, and Sewage backups, then make sure you have the Moisture mitigated and Remediated as soon as possible.

***Also, have a WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) Inspection Scheduled for Property maintenance.

Yes, your HVAC Furnace/Conveyance systems, and Ductwork, Can get Dirty!

Ventilation systems are often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality. Inspect the duct work interior, of your Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Property. Clean ducts mean a healthier environment and improved indoor air quality.

If your HVAC has been operating for some time, without maintenance or an inspection, it could be circulating one or more of the following:

• Dust
• Pollen
• Odors
• Dirt and debris
• Other Particulates and contaminants, and possibly Fiberglass Fibers from DuctBoard, or Interior Fiberglass Lining.

Inspect your heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit (HVAC), ductwork and registers. Keeping them clean can extend the life of the equipment. This can in turn save you money and give you cleaner air to breathe.

The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:

• Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
• May help to eliminate offensive odors.
• Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.

Give us a Call for any HVAC and Air Duct cleaning questions.

Yes, Drywood Termites Don't Need Moisture, to Destroy your Commercial and Residential Property!

1) Drywood Termites, love wooden structures and that is why they are found in Commercial properties, homes, fences and trees.
2) Drywood Termites can also be found and transported in Wood Furniture, Wood Picture Frames, Cardboard boxes and Books!
3) Higher incidents of Drywood Termites, are being found behind Spray Foam Applications in Attics, Crawlspaces, and Wall Cavities and Voids.
4) Unlike the Subterranean Termite, the Drywood Termite, does not need moist soil or water nearby in order to thrive.
Because they don’t need water, these termites are often found in dry wood above ground level.
The wood they eat, (Moisture Content), provides the moisture they need to survive, according to the AgriLifeExtension of the Texas A&M System.
5) Your Property Insurance is NOT covered by Termite Damage. You will need to contact a Pest Control company, for inspections, (W.D.O. report), and Preventative measures.

Yes, You can contract Hantavirus from Mice and Rats, and it is a Biohazard!

1) Hantaviruses are transmitted by contact with the bodily fluids of Rodents, particularly from saliva from bites, and especially from inhalation of viral particles from urine and feces in aerosols. The rodents that transmit Hantaviruses are: The Cotton Rat, Deer Mice, Rice Rat, and the White Footed Mouse.

2) The best way to prevent a rodent infestation and contact with rodents is to remove the food sources, (Including Bird Feeders), water, and items that provide shelter for rodents. Cold weather, signals the rodents to find warm shelter. Seal up holes inside and outside of your Property, to prevent entry by rodents.

3) ***Before Cleaning, it is important that you do NOT stir up dust, by Sweeping up droppings, urine, or nesting materials. Wear the proper PPE, including Respirator, when cleaning urine and droppings. Lightly Spray/Mist Wet fog, the urine, droppings, and nesting with a Disinfectant. Dispose of the urine and droppings, to a waste container. Disinfect ALL surfaces.

Yes, Smoke Damage can Corrode Metals, Appliances, and Electronics, in your Commercial and Residential Property!

1) Corrosion of metal surfaces is usually associated purely with acid gases. But, Smoke is corrosive, even in the absence of acid gases. Burning materials release acid, alkaline and neutral smoke, even without thermal damage.

2) The acidic nature of soot contributes to the damage of metal, glass, plastics, and fabrics. Metal will corrode if soot remains on the surface. Door knobs, plumbing fixtures, and more can suffer the effects of soot damage. Soot etches into glass windows and mirrors. Soot residue discolors plastic, vinyl, Rubber, and fabric, and damages Porous substrates.

(Frostbite on your Pets paws, can occur as well)

1) Salt and De-icers, can irritate a Pet's paws and cause chemical burns. If ingested it can cause mouth burns and gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea. To keep your Pets from consuming ice melt products on your walks, try to stop them from eating snow and drinking from puddles.

2) Even when using a pet-friendly ice melt on your walkways, it is recommended that you towel off and wipe down your pet’s paws after any time outside to help remove any winter irritants they may have encountered.

3) Make sure to carefully inspect for any snow or ice that may be stuck between your pet’s paw pads.

4) Be careful of Freezing Temperatures. Frostbite can occur with your Pet's Paws.

Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night,

Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night, Asthma Covid, Allergies and Covid, Showering At Night,

Are your Allergies and Asthma getting worse staying Inside?

Dermatologists say that an evening shower is good for your skin because it cleans it before sleep. Basically, there's always something in the air, (dirt, Pathogens, pollution), and the last thing you want to do is leave that on your skin while you go to sleep in a clean bed.

If you're an allergy sufferer, a night shower is best to wash pollen off your skin and hair before you try to go to sleep. Or for the months of March and April, you could shower as soon as you walk in the door every evening.

A shower at night affects your circadian rhythm, too, in a good way. Sleep experts note that a nighttime shower changes your body temperature in a way that may help you get to sleep faster and more easily.

Triggers for Asthma and Allergies include:
1) Mold and Pollen Spores From Outside and inside
2) Dust Mites and Insect waste/debris
3) Pet hair
4) Smoke from Fireplaces, Furnaces, Cigarettes, Cigars, and Candles
5) Scented products like Candles, cleaners, air fresheners, and perfumes, especially if they contain a bunch of chemical ingredients.

Yes, Pet Waste is a Biohazard....

It might not seem like a stormwater problem, but animal waste is one of the many seemingly small sources of pollution that can add up to big problems for water quality, and even human health.

Animal waste contains two main types of pollutants that harm local waters: nutrients and pathogens.

When this waste ends up in water bodies, it decomposes, releasing nutrients that cause excessive growth of algae and weeds. This makes the water murky, green, smelly, and even unusable for swimming, boating, or fishing.
The pathogens, disease causing bacteria and viruses, can also make local waters unswimmable and unfishable, and have caused severe illness in humans.

So, the easiest way to avoid these problems is to clean up after your pet each and every time, and dispose of the waste properly.

The EPA has a nice Poster to download, as a reminder:

Electricity is needed to heat and cool your Commercial and Residential property, and run light fixtures, appliances, and electronics. Also, there is a greater the risk of electrical-related fires, with too many items plugged into outlets.

Below are nine safety measures one can adhere to in order to reduce the risk of electrical fires in Commercial and Residential properties:

  1. On a regular basis, have the home inspected for loose wires, shorts, and faulty wiring that increase the risk of potential electrical fires, as electrical wiring eventually needs to be replaced. This is especially pertinent if one lives in an older home. Signs that faulty wiring is a pressing issue can include flickering lamps, buzzing outlets, or outlets that spark when an electronic device is plugged in. If one of these indications occurs, do not delay in in hiring a certified electrician to give the home an inspection to determine if the wiring is safe or if it is in need of rewiring.
  2. Install a smoke detector on every level of the home and inside each bedroom. It is vital to make sure the smoke detectors are working properly by testing them every month. Test the detectors to ensure that all members of the home know the sound of the smoke detector. Also, create a plan so that the entire family knows what to do in case of an actual fire. Once a plan is in place, practice each aspect of fire-escape strategy to guarantee its success.
  3. Utilize safety measures with electric cords. This includes replacing cords that are loose, frayed, or contains cracks. Never place cords in areas that receive a large volume of foot traffic, such as under mats or carpeting. Avoid tacking cords to surfaces with nails or staples. If an extension cord is being used on a long-term basis, consider having outlets installed by a certified electrician nearer to your electronic devices.
  4. Only use the correct wattage light bulbs in all fixtures. If the wattage is higher than the requirement noted on the lamp or appliance, replace the bulbs immediately. Firmly secure light bulbs in the socket to safeguard them from overheating.
  5. Use a surge protector to guard appliances and other electronics in your home. It is important that homeowners use a surge protector that is equivalent to the equipment one has while keeping in mind that they only protect the items that are directly plugged into them. Note that there are two basic types of surge protectors: the power strip accompanied by a surge protector and the wall-mount surge protector. When buying a surge protector, locate one that has the Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) mark of approval and always avoid overloading it. As with wiring, surge protectors will eventually need to be replaced, especially if the home experiences a large surge or frequent power surges.
  6. Store flammables away from electrical appliances. It is helpful to establish a safe, designated area for flammable chemicals in your home.
  7. As the average daily temperature declines, portable space heaters run a high risk of electrical fires. Other risks include lamps, blow dryers, hair straighteners, and clothing irons. Any object made of fabric, such as towels and bath mats, can quickly ignite and spread fire rapidly.
  8. Place a fire extinguisher in all major rooms of the home, such as kitchen, bedrooms, and laundry room. The National Fire Protection Association suggests a multi-purpose extinguishers that carry and “A, B, C,” combination classification while also carrying the label of an independent testing laboratory. Have all family members read the instructions on how to use the fire extinguisher. Extinguisher are useful in containing small fires until the fire department arrives, but the first priority should be getting one’s family out of the home safely.
  9. Arcs cause numerous electrical fires every year, but this can be combatted by installing an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breaker in the home. Arcs in the home’s electrical system occur when an electrical current flows through an inadvertent path generating a sudden, high temperature in electrical wires. When this happens, the extreme temperatures can easily ignite other combustible materials surrounding it, such as wood or insulation. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association says having an AFCI breaker offers greater fire protection for homeowners than a standard circuit breaker. An AFCI monitors the circuits in your home for the presence of hazardous arcing conditions and instantly disconnects the damaged circuit before the arc has time to build enough heat to cause a fire. As of 2008, the National Electrical Code has required new homes to have AFCI protection, but the code varies from state to state, and older homes are at greater risk due to aging electrical wiring. As always, have a qualified electrician install the AFCI breaker.

Reducing the risk of electrical fires in one’s home is relatively simple, but the safety benefits are worth a great deal of peace-of-mind.

Tips for the Proper way to Vacuum your Carpets and Rugs and Rooms... Vacuum High to Low surfaces.

1) Make sure you are operating a HEPA Filtered Vacuum, and make sure Bags and Filters are New, or washed and dry. Check to make sure there are no Clogs, and the Electric Cord is Grounded, and is safe to use.
2) Check Beater Bar/Rotating Brush is working properly, and not clogged with Carpet Strands, Hairs, and other objects, which will burn out Belts and Bands.
3) Check the settings/height adjustment, that allow you to adjust the Beater Brush, based on the surface you are cleaning. Carpet Piling is thicker and higher than others.
4) Vacuum off window Sills, Blinds, and Furniture, with the Soft Brush Attachment, to capture particulate from these areas First.
5) As you vacuum your carpet, pass the vacuum cleaner back and forth slowly. Run the vacuum slowly in one direction, and then pull it back towards you. Move on to the next section of carpet, allowing the vacuum to slightly overlap the area you just cleaned.
6) Repeat the process in the opposite direction i.e., if you originally vacuumed in a north-south motion, turn and vacuum east-west, in a Criss Cross Pattern.
7) Use the Hose attachment for your Steps and Stairs.
8) Empty the Waste Bag and Canister frequently.

Cleaning Soot from Fireplace, Creosote buildup, Chimney Fire

12/1/2020 (Permalink)

Image of burning house Cleaning Soot from Fireplace, Creosote buildup, Chimney Fire, Fire damage restoration company near me, Smoke and odor cleaning and remediation

Fireplaces, Chimneys, Vent Pipes, and Rooftop Exhausts, need to be Inspected reguarly for Maintenance, and Interior Flue Cleaning.

These Exhaust outlets, allow fumes, smoke, vapors, and gases, to Exit from your fireplace, furnace and Natural Gas water heater, so it’s important to maintain them properly.

Neglecting your chimney can lead to very expensive major repairs.

The three most serious problems that result from poorly maintained chimneys are:
1) Carbon monoxide poisoning
2) Chimney fires and Heater Soot/Creosote Puffbacks.
3) Premature failure of the fireplace and chimney, which leads to Water Damage intrusion, and possibly Structural issues with your property.

As the smoke rises up the chimney, it comes into contact with the relatively cooler interior of the chimney (the flue), where some of the smoke condenses, like steam on a glass of cold water. The resulting condensed smoke is called creosote. Creosote is a black or brown gummy substance that builds up on the flue. Once a sufficient amount of creosote builds up, it can catch fire.

Industrial, Commercial, and Residential HVAC Air Duct Cleaning, Ductless MiniSplit systems, Dryer Exhaust Duct systems, and Bathroom Exhaust duct systems, should be inspected regularly and cleaned on a maintenance schedule.

Proper maintenance, and cleaning, will help with Indoor Air Quality, reduce Energy use, prevent equipment breakdowns, and possible fire hazards (such as lint buildup in Dryer Exhaust ductwork), and will allow occupants to be more happy and productive.

An HVAC system found to be contaminated with mold should be turned off and not used until the system has been remediated; using a mold-contaminated HVAC system may spread mold throughout the building and increase the exposure of building occupants.

To prevent Particulates and Dust from entering the system:
1) Use the highest efficiency air filter recommended by the manufacturer of your heating and cooling system.
2) Change filters regularly. (Clean Washable Filters once a Month or more).

How to find a leak in the roof, Roof Leak repair near me, Water damage restoration, Water damage intrusion - image of roof How to find a leak in the roof, Roof Leak repair near me, Water damage restoration, Water damage intrusion

Roof leaks can occur on any size and type of roof, causing major water damage intrusion, possible mold growth, corrosion of fasteners, and possible property structure issues.

Wind damage, broken branches falling, leaves clogging drains, snow and ice melt, hail damage, embedded nails or screws in boots and shoes during inspections, are some of the unexpected events which can lead to water damage into your property.

Some of the areas where roof water leaks can occur are:

1) Shingles are worn or rolled down. Bitumen sheet is lifting up.
2) Roof boots around vent pipes are worn and brittle.
3) Flashing around chimneys, and windows, and dormers are prying off and not coated with roof cement.
4) Gutters can form ice dams, or even deteriorate facia and soffits, if too much weight.
5) Incorrect pitch of roof, to allow rain and snow to drain off.

A best practice is to inspect your commercial or residential roof at least 2 times a year, or even more after major weather events.

As a Veteran Owned and Operated Small Business, SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ and Gloucester Township NJ, offers free estimates for government, industrial, commercial and residential properties, for interior roof water leaks, and water damage inspections, and estimates for remediation, and repairs.

Histoplasmosis, Bat Guano, Bird droppings, Biohazard cleaning images Histoplasmosis, Bat Guano, Bird droppings, Biohazard cleaning

Histoplasmosis is a respiratory disease caused by the inhalation of fungus spores excreted by bats and birds, that can persist in the environment for several years.

In the United States, Histoplasma, the fungus that causes Histoplasmosis, mainly lives in soil in the central and eastern states, particularly areas around the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys, but it can likely live in other parts of the country as well.

Outbreaks can occur during demolition/renovation activities that create dust containing bird or bat droppings.

Avoid doing activities that are known to be associated with getting histoplasmosis, including:
1) Disturbing material (for example, digging in soil or chopping wood) where there are bird or bat droppings
2) Cleaning chicken coops
3) Exploring caves
4) Cleaning, remodeling, or tearing down old buildings
Large amounts of bird or bat droppings should be cleaned up by professional companies that specialize in the removal of hazardous waste.

Water pipe Burst, Preventing pipes from Freezing, Water damage

Water pipe Burst, Preventing pipes from Freezing, Water damage - image of person inspecting pipes Water pipe Burst, Preventing pipes from Freezing, Water damage

Insulating your hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature 2°F–4°F hotter than uninsulated pipes can deliver, allowing you to lower your water temperature setting. 

You also won't have to wait as long for hot water when you turn on a faucet or showerhead, which helps conserve water.

Paying for someone to insulate your pipes—as a project on its own—may not make economic sense. 

But having the insulation done during new construction of a home, during other work on your water heater or pipes, or insulating the pipes yourself, is well worth the effort. 

In special cases, such as when the fuel used for heating water is very expensive, the distance traveled by the pipes is far, the pipes are exposed to very cold air (in which case they should be insulated anyway to prevent freezing), and if the household uses a lot of water, much higher energy savings can be obtained. In these cases, cost savings may offset paying for someone to do the job for you.

Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you Veterans, for your Service!

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday, observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans, which are, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces (that were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable).

 It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War 1.  Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is distinct from Memoria Day, a U.S. public holiday in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while in military service.  

Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Armed Forces day, is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honors women who have served in the U.S. military.

Cleaning Mold with Bleach is Hazardous, Don't use bleach

11/4/2020 (Permalink)

Cleaning Mold with Bleach is Hazardous, Don't use bleach, Mold - image of mold in property Cleaning Mold with Bleach is Hazardous, Don't use bleach, Mold

Using chlorine bleach to kill mold is probably one of the worst things you can do.


As a matter of fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), stopped recommending the use of bleach for dealing with mold issues. And, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated their guide as well, removing the suggestion to use bleach to kill mold.

The problem is, it’s true that bleach can kill some mold in some places, some of the time. But, bleach only works to remove mold on hard, impermeable surfaces like bathtub and shower surrounds or tiles. However, on porous surfaces like drywall or hardwood floors, it won’t work to kill mold or keep it from coming back.

Mold spreads its roots deep into porous surfaces.
Simply spraying a bleach solution on the surface won’t kill mold spores at their roots.

Here are some reasons why you should NOT to Use Bleach to Kill Mold:
1) Bleach is Caustic, with High VOCs and can cause Burns to your Eyes, Nose and Throat and Skin. Your Pets paws, can get burned, and Pets lick their paws.
2) Bleach encourages toxic mold growth on porous surfaces because it provides excess moisture.
3) Bleach is extremely corrosive, and corrodes Metal Fasteners, such as Screws and Nails, Water Pipes, Waste and Drain Pipes.
4) Bleach only removes the color from mold.
5) Chlorine bleach is extremely harmful to surfaces.

Infection Control, prevents or stops the spread of infections in healthcare settings.


Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) procedures help limit and control the spread of Pathogens, and Particulates.

An infection occurs when pathogens, bacteria, or viruses enter the body, increase in number, and cause a reaction of the body.

Three things are necessary for an infection to occur:
1) Source: Places where infectious agents live (e.g., sinks, surfaces, human skin)
2) Susceptible Person with a way for pathogens to enter the body
3) Transmission: a way pathogens are moved to the susceptible person.

People can be sick with symptoms of an infection or colonized with Pathogens (and not have symptoms of an infection).

Pathogens are also found in the healthcare environment. Examples of environmental sources of pathogens include:
1) Dry surfaces in patient care areas (e.g., bed rails, medical equipment, countertops, and tables)
2) Wet surfaces, moist environments, and biofilms (e.g., cooling towers, faucets and sinks, and equipment such as ventilators)
3) Indwelling medical devices (e.g., catheters and IV lines)
4) Dust or decaying debris (e.g., construction dust or wet materials from water leaks).

Frozen Pipe, Frozen water line, AC pipe frozen, water damage in home Frozen Pipe, Frozen water line, AC pipe frozen, water damage

Pipes that freeze most frequently, are those that are exposed to cold weather, like outdoor water faucets, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like Basements, Garages, crawl spaces, attics, or kitchen cabinets. Toilet Bowls and Toilet Tanks, can also Freeze up.

Pipes that run against exterior walls, or inside Wall Cavities or Wall Chases, that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing.

A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can leak up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing flooding, serious structural damage, and the immediate potential for mold.

To prevent the formation of ice in pipes due to freezing temperatures and to prevent the pipes from bursting, here are some tips:
1) Always place piping in heated areas of a building.
2) Properly insulate attics, exterior walls and other areas lacking adequate heating.
3) Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors and other conditions that allow heat loss.
4) Keep exterior doors closed, even if not in the immediate vicinity of piping.
5) Maintain Proper heat in buildings at all times.

What is Hydrostatic Pressure? What is Parging?

10/29/2020 (Permalink)

What is Hydrostatic Pressure? What is Parging? - Image of diagram of water and walls What is Hydrostatic Pressure? What is Parging?

“Hydrostatic Pressure” refers to a water pressure and is a major cause of basement water problems. Water weighs slightly more than 60lbs. per cubic foot. If the soil around your basement is saturated with water, there could be tens of thousands of pounds of hydrostatic pressure against your foundation. With significant pressure, it's likely that water will find its way through even the smallest crack or gap in your basement.

Parging uses a masonry-based mortar to cover interior and exterior masonry block and stone walls. When applying a fresh coat of parging it helps to protect masonry from the elements, like shielding the foundation from rain and snow.

Keep Rainwater and Snow away from your property, and having the surrounding ground, sloped away from the foundation. Make sure Gutters, and downspouts extend at least 10 feet away from property Foundation wall. Check your Sump Pump, to make sure it is operating properly.

Gutter Cleaning Helps Prevent Water Damage and Roof damage To Your Business and Home.


Not having a proper gutter cleaning is one of the top reasons for structural water damage to homes. Water damage is the leading cause of home repair. The sole purpose for having gutters and spouts is to channel water away from your home and foundation that is coming off your roof.

If your gutters and spouts are not cleaned out and allowed to become clogged, this will cause a flooding of your foundation and reduces the integrity of your home.

Clogged up gutters and spouts from debris buildup not only causes foundation issues but water can start leaking into your roof. Once water leaks into your roof it then spreads causing other major issues like damage to your home's fascia board, ceilings, walls, and other areas you can’t see.

Additionally, the debris compiling in your gutter may start to decompose to form an organic matter which helps the growth of fungi, tree seedlings, and other types of plants.

It is well known that clogged gutters make for a perfect breeding ground for pests like rats, mosquitoes and other insects which may carry harmful diseases.

Wallpaper Mold, Wallpaper paste and mold, Mold inspection near me - image of mold on wall Wallpaper Mold, Wallpaper paste and mold, Mold inspection near me - image of mold on wall

Wallpaper acts as a vapor barrier, trapping moisture behind it and in combination with the organic wallpaper paste, provides the perfect conditions for prolific mold growth.


Moisture from outside moves through the walls in the form of water vapor, and evaporates into drier indoor air. This moisture would then be removed from the air and expelled out of the house as a byproduct of the HVAC system heating or cooling the air.

Most older homes and Commercial properties, were constructed without an adequate vapor barrier in the walls. Homes without vapor barriers absorb more moisture from the outside air than newer, more energy efficient homes.

Besides causing a major business interruption, a mold problem can present a serious health risk for people exposed at your commercial property.

Every hour spent on Mold Remediation, is an hour of lost revenue and productivity.

Soot from fire, Fire damage restoration service near me

Soot from fire, Fire damage restoration service near me, smoke damage restoration - image of soot webs near ceiling Soot from fire, Fire damage restoration service near me, smoke damage restoration - image of soot webs near ceiling

The Acidic Nature of Smoke and Soot Require Special Cleanup procedures.


After a fire, soot damage is very problematic. Soot can be a black flaky or oily or powdery substance which forms from incomplete combustion. Fine carbonized compounds cling to surfaces in your home like ceilings and walls, plus your possessions. Soot can be difficult to remove, and sometimes it is not possible to restore the surface to its pre-fire condition.

There are two types of sediment you can find after soot damages your home – oily and dry. A quick check you can do to discover the type of residue you have is just to run your finger over a soot-covered surface. It is oily residue if it smears. Try not to make a mess. Better yet, leave it to us to inspect and clean.

Heat from the fire pushes the soot and can cover everything in its way. Smoke looks for a kind of equilibrium and travels until its energy is used and it goes to cooler temperatures.

When tested, soot can always be found on the acidic side of the pH scale. Acidic materials are destructive to a majority of elements found in nature. Over time, they keep degrading materials by oxidation which leads to discoloration, etching, corrosion or pitting. Stains over metals can yellow and soften.

Our expertise and "restore" versus "replace" mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can't be replaced. We pretest your belongings to determine what items they can restore to pre-fire condition. They use several methods of cleaning your contents, including:

  • Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
  • Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
  • Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can't withstand wet cleaning.
  • Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
  • Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
  • Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Particle Ionization occurs from Heater Puffbacks, which results in Soot spots, and Soot Webs.


Typically, smoke particles are attracted to certain cold surfaces. This can cause smoke damage such as:

1) Nail heads in the ceiling: Metal nail heads cold surfaces can attract smoke particles to land in a ring around them.
2) Corners of the room or building: When plastics burn, the smoke carries a stronger charge than that of wood, cotton, or paper. This charge causes smoke residue to collect in “webs” where the walls and ceiling come together.
3) On synthetic materials: Manmade furnishings – like vinyl products – tend to have greater ionization characteristics that attract smoke particles at such high concentrations that they become permanently stained.

Stucco remediation near me, Mold remediation in NJ, Mold removal

10/19/2020 (Permalink)

Mold on building Stucco remediation near me, Mold remediation in NJ, Mold removal

Stucco remediation is extremely expensive because the Commercial or Residential property, has to be torn down to its sheathing and windows replaced.


This is beyond the asbestos plague, the radon plague and the lead paint problem. This is a life changer and the scope of this is enormous.

The reason it is failing is because some builders took shortcuts and didn't install flashing properly, installed inferior windows and didn't apply enough layers of stucco.

Many (builders) won't put stucco on new houses anymore, not even on foundations. But stucco is a good product, and you can use it anywhere as long as you use good practices like having a good vapor barrier, and proper caulk around all windows and doors.

A failed moisture inspection can put a significant amount of work and money into a home, and replace the stucco with stone because it was one-third of the cost.

Some common reasons for moisture problems are:

  1. Exterior Openings (e.g. windows) with inadequate flashing installed (i.e. pan flashing)
  2. Missing Kick Out or Diverter flashing
  3. Poor roofing/wall/chimney design (dead valleys)
  4. Improper deck ledger or patio attachments
  5. Inadequate drainage away from foundation and/or walls
  6. Exterior walls with inadequate weather resistive barriers
  7. Overall Building Science- Interior Vapor Trying to get out
  8. Low Perm Vapor Barriers- Lowering the wall's ability to dry

Because moisture problems are oftentimes hard to see at face value, please consider a third party moisture testing through certified firms to identify areas where moisture intrusion is occurring and how severe the damage may be. If ignored, it can seriously damage a home’s wood structure through rot and mold within the wall cavity.

Metal-framed and gypsum wall systems, have many advantages:

1) They are low-cost, lightweight (which pays a special premium in seismic regions),
2) They have remarkable fire resistance and separating properties for their weight. These advantages have allowed steel stud construction to be the most common method of constructing both interior and exterior wall systems in buildings of noncombustible construction.

Unfortunately, when subject to moisture ingress, Interstitial Condensation, or moisture accumulation, durability has not proved to be a characteristic of these systems.
There have been numerous buildings in North America, that have required major repairs to exterior steel stud-framed walls due to corrosion caused by water ingress.

One Strategy, for Better Indoor Air Quality, (I.A.Q.) starts with Replacing fibrous glass liners and Insulation, with materials that are less likely to encourage fungal growth (i.e. closed-cell foam insulation), and Corrosion, in areas where humidity is high.


An increasing number of Government and Industrial properties, Hospitals, Universities and other facilities seeking better IAQ, are replacing existing insulation with elastomeric foam, not only for its mold-resistant properties, but its fiber-free, dust-free, and non-particulating construction.


Properly installed and maintained, elastomeric foam insulation, is an extremely effective deterrent to biological contamination. It’s closed-cell structure prevents moisture from wicking into the insulation.

And even if closed-cell foam duct liner gets wet, its smooth surface makes it extremely easy to clean.

The same cannot be said of fiber-based duct liners, which are notoriously difficult to clean, and deteriorate more quickly under adverse conditions.

Corrosion Under Insulation, Condensation, Mold removal near me

Corrosion Under Insulation, Condensation, Mold removal near me - image of moisture on pipes Corrosion Under Insulation, Condensation, Mold removal near me, Mold remediation companies near me

Corrosion Under Insulation, (CUI), is the corrosion of piping, Vessels, and HVAC Ductwork and HVAC Air Handling Units, that occurs beneath insulation as a result of Moisture and water penetration.

CUI is typically difficult to identify because it lies hidden under insulation material, often until it becomes a serious
problem. It is also expensive to inspect for or repair since that usually requires inspection by radiography, ultrasonic or
other forms of inspection but in most cases requires the removal of the insulation system.

Facility managers, engineers, and maintenance and construction personnel now know that corrosion under insulation (CUI) exists and, left to its own devices, can cause serious problems such as Mold growth, and even catastrophic consequences.

Effects of Lead Poisoning in children, side effects of lead Poisoning and acute lead poisoning

10/9/2020 (Permalink)

Effects of Lead Poisoning in children, side effects of lead Poisoning, acute lead poisoning, certificate of lead webinar Effects of Lead Poisoning in children, side effects of lead Poisoning, acute lead poisoning.

Exposure to Lead, can occur by contaminated air, water, dust, food, or consumer products.

Some lead compounds are colorful and are used widely in paints, and lead paint is a major route of lead exposure in children.

A study conducted in 1998–2000 found that 38 million housing units in the US had lead-based paint, down from a 1990 estimate of 64 million.

Deteriorating lead paint can produce dangerous lead levels in household dust and soil. Deteriorating lead paint and lead-containing household dust are the main causes of chronic lead poisoning. The lead breaks down into the dust and since children are more prone to crawling on the floor, it is easily ingested.

Many young children display Pica, eating things that are not food. Even a small amount of a lead-containing product such as a paint chip or a sip of glaze can contain tens or hundreds of milligrams of lead.


Eating chips of lead paint presents a particular hazard to children, generally producing more severe poisoning than occurs from dust.

Because removing lead paint from dwellings, e.g. by sanding or torching, creates lead-containing dust and fumes, it is generally safer to seal the lead paint under new paint (excepting moveable windows and doors, which create paint dust when operated).

In lieu of traditional Paper faced Gypsum, the fiberglass faced gypsum panel, has a treated core, which is sandwiched between a fiberglass mat, and the backside of the panel.

Gypsum mechanically bonds to fiberglass mat facings.

The fiberglass mat is treated with an acrylic coating for moisture resistance, creating a hydrophobic, non absorptive surface.

The acrylic coating on the surface of the mat, fills the Voids and openings in the mat, and further protects the gypsum, core and mat from the elements.

This technology addresses potential moisture concerns, by virtually eliminating the moisture source from, wicking or capillary action, therefore reducing the risk of potential Microbial Mold Growth.

With Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation, PMPs (Pest Management Professionals) are finding the spray foam can hide termite activity.


PMPs report that the Spray foam also hides leaks, and traps moisture that homeowners might not see.

A growing number of PMPs across the Southeast feel the same way. They are cancelling the termite damage warranties of customers who’ve had the foam installed.

They are walking away from new customers who already have it in their homes and from newly constructed homes that have it built in. And some are refusing to write termite/WDO inspection letters required for real estate closings if houses have SPF.

Extreme weather events can stress Industrial, Commercial and Residential wall assemblies, causing water to enter the building envelope.


Fasteners attached through sheathing are a point of vulnerability requiring specific attention in order to avoid leaks and compromising building integrity.

With some minor exceptions, the standardized test methods for water-resistive barriers (WRBs) and air barriers (ABs) do not consider the range of adhesive and mechanical cladding attachments.

Fasteners in Construction:
1) Fasteners in Cladding Support Systems Can Leak in Heavy Weather Events
2) Follow Best Practices Based on Building and Climate Conditions
3) Employ WRB and AB Strategies that Provide Drainable and Dry-able Wall Assemblies

Moisture in New Construction, Mold testing and inspection

9/30/2020 (Permalink)

Moisture in New Construction, Mold testing and inspection, image of Certificate of Completion Moisture in New Construction, Mold testing and inspection.

Moisture in New Construction, Mold testing and inspection.

If you keep moisture out of a building, you'll likely keep mold out as well, since mold requires a moist environment.

A dry building not only prevents mold outbreaks, but also creates a more pleasant, healthier environment. And, dry buildings are more durable, and will have fewer maintenance problems - so controlling moisture is truly a win-win for builders, owners, and occupants.

There are Several Excellent Strategies to prevent New Construction Moisture and Mold Growth. Here is an Excellent Checklist:

1) All building materials must be kept dry. They should be protected from the weather before they're installed.

2) The scheduling of the trades that install the roof and cladding, to prevent leaks and visible penetrations for leaks.

3) Exterior wall cavities should be properly insulated - insulation should completely fill the cavity to prevent the formation of convection cells within the wall that can negatively affect moisture and energy management. Mineral Wool insulation, or Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) which is a closed-cell, rigid foam board insulation, are better examples of insulation.

4) Avoid Placing Pipes in Exterior Walls, due to possible condensation and mold growth.

5) Wallboard should only be installed during the controlled phase of construction when the building envelope is enclosed.

6) Use of Desiccant Dehumidification, and Heat, to lower Relative Humidity values, and Vapor Pressure, in order to Dry Joint Compounds and other substrates more efficiently. 

7) Concrete Foundations and floors must be cured and dried. Uncured concrete introduces lots of moisture into a new building.

8) HVAC systems must be balanced throughout the building to avoid overcooling interior rooms, which can lead to Condensation and Mold growth.

9) Vent and exhaust Moist areas to Outside, such as Commercial lavatories and shower facilities.

10) Masonry block absorbs water, it should be covered with sheathing materials before EIFSs or other siding materials are applied. If there has been a significant amount of recent rain, be sure to allow enough time for the block to dry before being covered.

11) Exterior walls must be designed to incorporate a water-resistant barrier behind the cladding system, as well as an air barrier and thermal insulation.

12) Properly Install Roof, Window and Door Flashings.  Flashings should be installed around all roof lines, windows, and doors, ensuring that the water flows out of the building.

13) All roof penetrations, such as vent pipes and other HVAC-related piping, should be properly flashed and drained to ensure that water drains to a roof drain or sump, and away from the building - not into the building structure.

14) The grade around all buildings should slope away from the foundation. The first 10 feet of soil extending outward from the building should be pitched at a 5-percent grade, or 6 inches of fall in the first 10 feet. The slope should be checked every few years to make sure that the backfill has not settled.

15) Install perimeter drains, as rain and water will be taken away from the base of the foundation, thereby keeping the foundation and basement dry.

16) Coat Vertical Foundation Walls on the Outside, with a Vapor Barrier.
Cement, Concrete block and brick is porous and, without the protection of this type of barrier, water moving down the side of the foundation may be absorbed and make its way into the basement.

Thermal Bridging is Not driving over a Hot Bridge, to cross the Delaware River, and to go to the Jersey Shore, on a Hot Summer day.

Instead, A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, heat bridge, or thermal bypass, is an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity, than the surrounding materials, creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer. 

Thermal bridges result in an overall reduction in thermal resistance of the object. The term is frequently discussed in the context of a building's thermal envelope, where thermal bridges result in heat transfer into or out of conditioned space.

Thermal bridges in buildings may impact the amount of energy required to heat and cool a space, cause condensation (moisture) within the building envelope, and result in thermal discomfort. In colder climates, thermal heat bridges can result in additional heat losses and require additional energy to mitigate.

There are strategies to reduce or prevent thermal bridging, such as limiting the number of building members that span from unconditioned to conditioned space and applying continuous insulation materials to create thermal breaks.

Thermal bridges can occur at several locations within a building envelope; most commonly, they occur at junctions between two or more building elements. Common locations include:

  • Floor-to-wall or balcony-to-wall junctions, including slab-on-grade and concrete balconies or outdoor patios that extend the floor slab through the building envelope
  • Roof/Ceiling-to-wall junctions, especially where full ceiling insulation depths may not be achieved
  • Window-to-wall junctions
  • Door-to-wall junctions
  • Wall-to-wall junctions
  • Wood, steel or concrete members, such as studs and joists, incorporated in exterior wall, ceiling, or roof construction
  • Recessed luminaries that penetrate insulated ceilings
  • Windows and doors, especially frames components
  • Areas with gaps in or poorly installed insulation
  • Metal ties in masonry cavity walls

Structural elements remain a weak point in construction, commonly leading to thermal bridges that result in high heat loss and low surface temperatures in a room.

Thermal Bridging areas, may have or lead to Interstitial Condensation and Mold growth.

The management of moisture migration is by far the most important control function to be addressed by the building enclosure designer. Moisture related problems in buildings are common and broadly vary in types and consequences. 

A brief listing of moisture related problems illustrates this point: frost heaving, ad freezing, water leakage, wood rot, mold growth, spalling, efflorescence, corrosion, and degradation and staining of finishes. Consequences range from structural failure to cosmetic flaws, and in some cases the health of the occupants can be adversely affected, as in the case of mold growth, causing allergic and respiratory problems.

Does your property satisfy the Strategy of the 4 Ds:

  • deflection of water to minimize wetting exposure;
  • drainage to convey away water that penetrates the assembly;
  • drying of any residual water by means of ventilation; and
  • durability of materials to withstand exposure to periodic wetting and provide an acceptable service life.

If these 4 D's are satisfied, then if water can be controlled, a building can be made more durable and the maintenance and repair costs reduced.

Any amount of unexpected water can cause a lot of damage, fast! SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ, Gloucester Township NJ, receives calls from customers who have had water damage in their home or office every day, and we are often told that the water has only affected a small area.

However, more often than not, what the property owner believes is a small amount of water can turn out to be a much larger headache than originally anticipated. This is because water damage isn’t always so easily visible. Water runs across and down easily, and it does not stay put in one area, or where the water loss originally occurred.

In the Attached picture, water has seeped under True Solid Wood flooring, which was not visible to property owner, and can lead to more costs and issues. This can cause secondary damage to a property.  We dried the True Wood Floor surface and substrates with Dry Mats, removing moisture, drying the Wood flooring, and saving the True Wood flooring from warping, cupping, and replacement.

A Certified trained, and Professional Water damage inspection and remediation, is required for all water damage events.

Mold can be found in unconditioned Wall Cavities, HVAC air duct system, or on ceiling tile backings.

A dry building is more sustainable than a damp building because dry buildings last longer. In a damp building, nails, screws, bolts and steel framing can corrode quickly, which puts the building at risk of early structural failure.

There are 4 critical requirements for mold growth, available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and considerable moisture. The removal of any one of these items will prohibit mold growth.

Water Damage Restoration Project Manager loading equipment for Water Loss Water Damage Restoration Process, Water damage restoration tips

Water Damage Restoration Process, Water damage restoration tips

Every water damage event is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same.

The steps below describe the Water Damage Restoration process:

Step 1- Emergency Contact

When you call, our specialist will guide you through several questions that will help the SERVPRO Franchise Professional respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration. 

Step 2- Inspection and Water Damage Assessment

They carefully inspect your property’s water damage, determining the type of water damage and the areas affected. This is a crucial step to creating an effective plan of action that will result in a successful restoration.

Step 3 - Water Removal / Water Extraction

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. The SERVPRO Franchise Professionals start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

Step 4 - Drying and Dehumidification

After the bulk of the water has been removed, SERVPRO Franchise Professionals use specialized equipment to target the water that’s harder to access. They use less intrusive, scientific drying methods to draw the remaining water and moisture from your property with air movers and dehumidifiers.

Step 5- Cleaning and Sanitizing

Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. They also sanitize with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Step 6- Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.

SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ Gloucester Township NJ, is ready to deal with your water damage emergency whether it’s day or night. When water causes damages in your home or office, we are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Not only are we ready to help, but we are also ready to answer your call.

Covid Sewage Backup in NJ, Sewage backup Prevention Tips in NJ, Covid Sewage in NJ

Covid Sewage Backup in NJ, Sewage backup Prevention Tips in NJ, Covid Sewage in NJ

Backed up sewers can wreak havoc on a home, causing thousands of dollars in damage to floors, walls, furniture and electrical systems. Sewer backup coverage is available from most insurers.

For homes that have been severely damaged and are uninhabitable, homeowners policies may provide Loss of Use coverage, which provides reimbursement for lodging, food and other living expenses you may incur as a result of having to live outside of your home. Loss of Use coverage also reimburses you for the lost rental income if you rent out part of the house.

Causes of Sewer Backup

Aging Sewer Systems: The Civil Engineering Research Foundation reports that the number of backed up sewers is increasing at an alarming rate of about 3 percent annually. In addition, a recent report from the American Society of Civil Engineers indicates that the nation's 500,000-plus miles of sewer lines are on average over thirty years old. The increase in the number of homes connected to already aging sewage systems has also contributed to rapid increases in sanitary sewer backups, flooded basements and overflows.

Combined Pipelines: Problems also arise in systems that combine storm water and raw sewage into the same pipeline. During many rain storms, the systems are exposed to more volume than they can handle, and the result is a sewage backup situation that allows sewage to spew out into basements and other low lying drains.

Blockages Due to Tree Roots: Shrubs and trees seeking moisture will make their way into sewer line cracks. These roots can cause extensive damage. They may start out small, getting into a small crack in the pipe; but as the tree or shrub continues to grow, so does the root. Tree roots can enter the service pipe at joints and cause blockages. Tree roots can travel a long way, and roots from different types of trees act differently. If city trees are suspected, your plumber can contact the city, and samples of the roots will be used to help identify the trees and who is responsible for cleanup. Sometimes the blockage is a result of a combination of city and private trees. In this case costs are split between the city and the property owner.

Sanitary Main: A blockage can occur in a city sanitary main. If the blockage is not detected in time, sewage from the main can back up into homes and businesses through floor drains. Usually this happens slowly, giving the owner time to call a licensed plumber to assess the damage. If water is entering into your basement at a rapid rate, call the city public works office and report the problem immediately.

Water in Basement: Most basement flooding is not related to the sanitary sewer system. In many cases, soil settles adjacent to the building and, if not corrected, leads to rainwater flowing towards the building and down the outside of the foundation wall. This is particularly true in older buildings, where cracks may have developed in the foundation or floor slab that allow water to enter the basement.

Sewage backups and dark water intrusions are more than nasty, smelly deposits – these damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into a structure. We remove the sewage, contaminants, and moisture, and help ensure the structure is properly cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.

Using chlorine bleach to kill mold is probably one of the worst things you can do.

As a matter of fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), stopped recommending the use of bleach for dealing with mold issues.  And, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated their guide as well, removing the suggestion to use bleach to kill mold.

The problem is, it’s true that bleach can kill some mold in some places, some of the time. But, bleach only works to remove mold on hard, impermeable surfaces like bathtub and shower surrounds or tiles. However, on porous surfaces like drywall or hardwood floors, it won’t work to kill mold or keep it from coming back.

Mold spreads its roots deep into porous surfaces.
Simply spraying a bleach solution on the surface won’t kill mold spores at their roots.

Here are some reasons Why you should NOT to Use Bleach to Kill Mold

• Bleach encourages toxic mold growth on porous surfaces because it provides excess moisture.
• Bleach only removes the color from mold.
• Chlorine bleach is extremely harmful to surfaces.
• Bleach is extremely corrosive.

You don’t want to use bleach to kill mold because there are many antimicrobial alternatives readily available. The Professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ Gloucester Twp. have the knowledge and equipment to safely remove mold from your home or business. We care about the proper restoration of your structure.

Unfortunately, when a toilet bowl is clogged and the water level rises and doesn't flush the contents away, some people are too hasty and will flush the toilet again hoping the additional water will 'push' the contents of the bowl down. This only causes a toilet bowl to overflow. 

SO, warn all members of your household, that when the water level in a toilet bowl is higher than normal - DO NOT FLUSH IT AGAIN. You must wait until the water level drops to normal. If it doesn't drop to normal, then you need to find out what is blocking the bowl. But under no circumstances should you flush again.

An overflowing toilet bowl can result in widespread and rather serious consequences. For example, not long ago, the McPherson Square Metro Station in Washington, D.C. lost power for much of the morning after a toilet overflowed in the nearby Lafayette Building, flooding a pair of Potomac Electric Power Co. feeder boxes that provide service to the subway stop, the building above and the U.S. Treasury Annex.

Treat ALL Toilet overflows as Biohazards, and need Biohazard cleanup services.

Exposure to biological and chemical contaminants can pose serious health consequences. A failure to properly remove such substances can contribute to unhealthy and dangerous environments. SERVPRO of Blackwood NJ and Gloucester Township is trained to safely remove biohazards and dispose of them properly in accordance with OSHA and health regulations.

Yes, New Construction Properties, both Commercial and Residential, can have mold or can grow mold.  Mold can be found in unconidtioned Wall Cavities, HVAC air duct system, or on ceiling tile backings.

To most people, moldy odors suggest HVAC problems. But while the air system may indeed spread fungal odors, the HVAC system in new buildings is seldom re-sponsible for generating them. In new construction, mold infestations usually are caused by moisture in building materials. 

That moisture can come from rain or snow before the building is closed in, or from leak-ing water pipes, wet concrete or condensation on surfaces like cold floor slabs during springtime.

Conventional HVAC systems are not designed to dry out construction-related moisture. The moisture load from wet materials is simply too large and the drying task too complex for systems that are intended for comfort air conditioning.

The better plan is to dry materials quickly with aggressive drying if they get wet through nature or human error.

A dry building is more sustainable than a damp building because dry buildings last longer. In a damp building, nails, screws, bolts and steel framing can corrode quickly, which puts the building at risk of early structural failure.

A dry building also has better IAQ than a damp building. Damp building materials degrade, generating and releasing a wide range of indoor air pollutants. According to the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., the health risk of a damp building is real and measurable. Biologists and health professionals believe mold and bacteria growing in damp buildings are responsible for many negative health effects.

Mold removal control in NJ, Household Mold remediation in NJ, Commercial mold removal in NJ,  Sutcco remediation in NJ, Stucco mold remediation in NJ

Stucco remediation is extremely expensive because the house has to be torn down to its sheathing and windows replaced.
This is beyond the asbestos plague, the radon plague and the lead paint problem. This is a life changer and scope of this is enormous.


The reason it is failing is because some builders took shortcuts and didn't' install flashing properly, installed inferior windows and didn't apply enough layers of stucco.

Many (builders) won't put stucco on new houses anymore, not even on foundations. But stucco is a good product, and you can use it anywhere as long as you use good practices like having a good vapor barrier, and proper caulk around all windows and doors.

A failed a moisture inspection, can put a significant amount of work and money into a home, and replaced the stucco with stone because it was one-third of the cost.

A house buyer today would be wise to order a moisture report if considering a stucco home. It's not required, but sometimes the cost for the inspection falls on the potential buyer.

A proper remediation, involves tearing off the stucco, taking out windows and replacing them with new windows, replacing damaged sheathing and framing, applying a drainable house wrap, reinstalling new windows with proper flashing, applying extra layers of house wrap, applying rainscreen and applying new stucco.


Homeowners who hire contractors who patch affected areas and do not replace windows will find it will fail again in short order.

Dryer Vent cleaning in NJ, Dryer exhaust cleaning in NJ, Clothes Lint removal in NJ

About 27 percent of Dryer Exhaust fires are caused by an accumulation of lint, which means that not cleaning out your dryer vent can set you up for a dangerous situation that’s far more serious than the drop in performance caused by constricting a dryer’s ductwork.

Several tips for Preventing Dryer fires:

1) Clean the lint from the dryer’s lint screen after every load!

2) Replace Accordion-Style Ducts and Plastic Ducts and Flex foil ducts with a rigid metal duct. The smooth walls allow the air to flow, and also reduce the buildup of lint.

3) Clean the Main Dryer Duct and Exhaust to Oustide, twice or more a Year.

4) Clothes stained with gas, cooking oil, cleaning agents, or other flammable chemicals or substances need special handling and car.  Wash these clothes, more than once. If you must use a dryer, then use the lowest heat setting and a drying cycle that concludes with a cool-down period.

5) Print out a copy of the Attached Picture with Safety Tips, and Place near your Dryer for a Reminder!

Fire and smoke damage in NJ, Smoke and fire damage in NJ

Though some fires are unavoidable acts of nature or unpredictable accidents, many fires in the home and workplace are avoidable. The following tips, courtesy of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) can help reduce the likelihood of a fire in your business or home.


Watch your cooking- Stay in the kitchen if you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Never allow young children around the stove or oven, especially if they are not closely attended.


Give space heaters space- Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.


Smoke outside- If you must smoke inside, have a sturdy, deep ashtray. Never smoke in bed.


Keep Matches and lighters out of reach- Keep matches and lighters in high cabinets, preferably under a child lock.


Inspect electrical cords- Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs or have loose connections.


Be careful when using candles- Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow them out before you leave the room or go to sleep.


Have a fire escape plan-Make a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.


Install smoke alarms- Install alarms on every level of your office or home and inside bedrooms. Interconnect them so they will all sound at once.


Test smoke alarms- Test alarms once per month. Replace batteries once per year as needed.


Install sprinklers- Sprinklers can help maintain and sometimes even extinguish fires, giving your local fire department a better chance at saving your property.

Fire escape planning tips

Below you will find several tips that could potentially save your life or the life of a loved one should a fire break out in your home

• Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home

• Test smoke alarm batteries every month and change them at least ones a year.
• Consider installing a 10 year lithium battery powered smoke alarm
• Practice finding your way out of the house with your eyes closed, crawling or staying low and feeling your way out of the house.
• Remember escape first, then notify the fire department.

Heater Puffback in NJ, Soot damage in NJ, Smoke damage in NJ Heater Puffback in NJ, Soot damage in NJ, Smoke damage in NJ

Heater Puffback in NJ, Soot damage in NJ, Smoke damage in NJ

Before a catastrophic puffback occurs, make sure you have an HVAC Heater Tune Up and/or an Inspection of your Heating System. Sometimes a Chimney or Vent can be clogged, which is a Hazardous issue.

Oil burner puffbacks, sooting, explosions: what is an oil burner "puffback"? What causes sooty puffbacks on oil fired boilers, furnaces, water heaters? Why are puffbacks dangerous? How does soot build-up cause higher heating costs on oil fired heaters? Why is soot build-up potentially dangerous on heating equipment? Do faulty boilers cause puffbacks or is it faulty maintenance? Can a faulty chimney cause an oil burner puffback?

What Causes Sooty Puffbacks at Oil-Fired Heating Boilers, Furnaces, Water Heaters?

If the reset button on your heating equipment has popped, you might press it ONCE to see if the equipment will run and provide heat (or hot water) while you wait for repair services. 

But do not keep pressing the button repeatedly as doing so, particularly if the burner does not run for 10 minutes or more, risks a dangerous puffback explosion when un-burned fuel in the heater finally ignites - causing a puffback explosion.

Before a catastrophic puffback occurs, make sure you have a Tune Up and or an Inspection of your Heating System.  Sometimes a Chimney or Vent can be clogged, which is a Hazardous issue.

If you see black soot and debris on top of your boiler, furnace, or water heater, or black soot stains in the boiler room, furnace room, or living area, the cause could be a poorly-operating heating system that needs prompt attention, and needs an Inspection and/or a Tune-Up.

Particle Ionization in NJ, Soot webs in NJ, Heater soot in NJ

This picture is of a bathroom wall in a home that recently had a puff back. 

A puff back is when the heating oil burner does not ignite properly and the oil fumes are able to buildup and then cause a small explosion when it ignites. Once this happens, soot and smoke can travel through the HVAC vents causing damage to multiple rooms. That was the case in this fire damage, and there was an oily soot film on the contents in every room in the house. 

In this picture, you can see black circles and lines on the drywall. These darker marks are caused by particle ionization. The metal nail heads holding the drywall to the studs are still magnetized and attract the ionized smoke particles to land in a ring around them. Acting quickly and having the walls and ceiling cleaned properly often reduces the need for paintwork.

However, more often than not, what the property owner believes is a small amount of water can turn out to be a much larger headache than originally anticipated. This is because water damage isn’t always so easily visible. Water runs across and down easily, and it does not stay put in one area, or where the water loss originally occurred.

In the attached picture, water has seeped under laminate flooring, which was not visible to the property owner, and can lead to more costs and issues.  This can cause secondary damage to a property.

A Certified trained, and Professional water damage inspection and remediation, is required for all water damage events.

Property Insurance policies don’t cover damage from floods and storm surges, Flood damage in NJ, Storm damage in NJ

Property Insurance policies don’t cover damage from floods and storm surges, Flood damage in NJ, Storm damage in NJ Property Insurance policies don’t cover damage from floods and storm surges, Flood damage in NJ, Storm damage in NJ

Property Insurance policies don’t cover damage from floods and storm surges, Flood damage in NJ, Storm damage in NJ

The rule of thumb with Property Insurance is that if water touches the ground before entering your home, the incursion is technically considered to be a flood. And covering your Property for flooding requires a separate insurance policy.


A storm surge isn’t a flood technically speaking, but its consequences still aren’t covered. According to the International Risk Management Institute, court cases have deemed a storm surge to be “little more than a synonym for a ‘tidal wave’ or ‘wind-driven flood,’ both of which are excluded under most property insurance.

Your Property insurance will, however, protect you against damage from the rain and wind of a hurricane. Be aware, though, that a different (and higher) hurricane deductible will apply in a number of states, especially when it comes to wind effects. 

Unlike floods or earthquakes, tornadoes usually don’t require special coverage. The insurance industry classifies tornadoes as windstorms, and windstorms are covered by most insurance policies. But, your Property insurance policy likely won’t pay for repairs if you neglected a rotted tree, which then fell onto your home during a tornado and caused damage.

Discuss your Property Insurance Policy with your Insurance Agent, to determine what your Property is covered for.

Condensation in NJ, Mold in NJ, Indoor Air Quality in NJ, Humidity in NJ

Condensation in NJ, Mold in NJ, Indoor Air Quality in NJ, Humidity in NJ Condensation in NJ, Mold in NJ, Indoor Air Quality in NJ, Humidity in NJ

Condensation in NJ, Mold in NJ, Indoor Air Quality in NJ, Humidity in NJ

To control air flows, make sure the air barrier is continuous

An air barrier helps control airflow both through and within the building enclosure. By controlling airflow, you also control moisture.

If moist indoor air contacts a cold surface — for example, exterior sheathing in cold weather — condensation can result. An air barrier prevents those cold surfaces from being connected with humid indoor air.

Air has a maximum storage capacity for water vapor which depends on temperature. Warm air holds lots of Moisture, while cold air can store very little.

As the temperature falls from 90°F down to 20°F, the amount of moisture that can be stored in the air changes by a factor of ten.

Leaky homes didn’t have condensation problems

Older buildings rarely had condensation problems in cold weather because they were so well ventilated — meaning leaky. The relative humidity in an old home would rarely rise above 25%. As we have built tighter houses (and in some cases failed to provide mechanical ventilation, the indoor relative humidity has gone up.

In a heated, tight, un-ventilated house, the amount of moisture in the air and the amount of condensation that can occur are dramatically different than in an old leaky house. Condensation can occur wherever water vapor can find a cold spot — on roof or wall sheathing, on the inside faces of windows, and inside the walls.

Let's say it’s 40°F outside and the outdoor relative humidity is 50%. If you allow that outdoor air to enter a building and heat it up to 70°F, the amount of moisture in the air stays exactly the same, but the “tank” gets bigger because the storage capacity of the air increases with the temperature. As a result, the relative humidity initially drops. Then, as moisture is added to the air, the relative humidity rises, and the absolute moisture content rises as well. How do you add moisture to the air? You breathe, sweat, boil water for spaghetti, take hot showers, grow houseplants — and all of those activities generate moisture.

When does indoor humidity become a problem?

Let’s say that air leaks out of a house through holes in the enclosure. As it reaches surfaces colder than 52°F or 53°F, the air will cool. Once it reaches its full capacity to store moisture, condensation occurs.

If the temperature of the outdoor air is around 30°F, the indoor air will drop all of the moisture that it gained on the way out, dumping it on the cold sheathing surface. That’s a typical example of the air leakage condensation cycle. Since condensation in walls, can cause puddles — and in extreme cases, rot the framing — condensation is something you want to avoid. Installing an air barrier is one way to help prevent condensation.

Air conditioning can also create condensing surfaces

The same phenomenon can happen in reverse in the summertime. Let’s say the outdoor air is 85°F and the relative humidity is 75%. When outdoor air leaking inward contacts a surface below about 76°F, the moisture in the air will condense. So if you have an exhaust fan in your home, the air leaking in may cause condensation on the air-conditioned surfaces — for example, on the back side of vinyl wallpaper.

If moist air leaks into a house through gaps in the wall or roof, you can have problems. But in a tight house with a good air barrier and a supply-only ventilation system, most of the air that’s drawn inside is drawn in through the air conditioner, so the first cold surfaces it sees are the cooling coils.

If you have air leaks in your building envelope, you usually can’t see the condensation —Unless you have an Infrared Camera with a Visual Inspection. However, condensation is sometimes visible in the attic; all you have to do is look for frost or dampness forming on the underside of the OSB or plywood roof sheathing.

Mold Remediation in Vehicles, Mold remediation in Cars in NJ, Mold remediation in Trucks in NJ, Mold removal in Vehicles in NJ, Mold cleaning in NJ

Mold remediation in Vehicles, YES WE DO THAT! The main cause of mold is damp conditions mixed with a warm environment, which can easily occur in your car if you leave your window cracked or your sunroof open on a rainy day, or even spill some liquid on the floor. It only takes a small amount of moisture for mold to grow and it can only take a few days to colonize, but once you have mold in your car, it can be a real pain to get rid of and has the potential to ruin your car’s interior. 

There’s also times when the mold infestation is so bad the car interior might be a total write-off, if it’s completely covered in mold and has grown right into the seating foam, for example. But depending on how bad the situation is, there might be some things you can do to fight the mold yourself. 

Get yourself a N95 mask, because even after letting the car air out, there still might be dangerous mold spores hanging around and you do not want to breathe any into your system. Also make sure you change your clothes and wash your clothes, before spreading more spores in your property.

YES WE ARE OPEN!

Many Residential and Commercial Insurance policies don’t cover termite damage or removal. Termite infestations may be prevented with routine Property maintenance and is the responsibility of the Property Owner.

If termites were to chew through your Property's wiring and cause a fire, your insurance company may step in to help pay for the damages, as fire is a covered peril under most policies.

Check your policy to understand exactly what may or may not be covered.

To help prevent termite damage to your Property:

  • Avoiding moisture accumulation by diverting water away from your home's foundation (make sure you have properly functioning gutters, downspouts and splash blocks)
  • Regularly checking for changes to all your wooden areas, like windows and door frames
  • Inspecting the foundation of your home bubbling paint, or wood that sounds hollow when you tap it
  • Maintaining an 18-inch distance between the wood portions of your home and the soil (termites can still gain access by building so-called shelter tubes or chewing through non-wood materials, but barriers can be built to discourage them)

Does my home insurance cover damage from water and mold? Commercial Mold remediation in NJ, Property Mold insurance in NJ

A standard home insurance policy or Commercial Property Insurance Policy, usually excludes mold coverage or severely limits coverage for it. That being said, your home insurance or Commercial Property Insurance Policy, may cover the cost to clean up mold when it’s due to a covered peril and was unknown to you while it grew. Or, if you purchased Mold Insurance, along with your homeowners policy.

To determine if your particular damage covered, review your Property Insurance policy and speak to your Insurance agent.

There are 4 critical requirements for mold growth, available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and considerable moisture. The removal of any one of these items will prohibit mold growth.

How Ergonomic is your home workstation?

How Ergonomic is your home workstation? How Ergonomic is your home workstation?

How Ergonomic is your home workstation?

Researchers conducted an ergonomics assessment of 843 university faculty and staff members’ home workstations via an email survey. In addition, 41 employees submitted photos of their workstations for review. Identified as the top ergonomics issues concerning chairs were lack of lumbar support (73%), back support not being used (69%), seat was too hard (63%), and seat was too low or too high (43%).

Sitting in a chair that is the wrong height can result in elevated arms, leaning on the front edge of a desk and poor head position, the researchers noted. They added that back supports and softer seats help assist with proper posture, while not using armrests adds stress to the forearms and upper back.

Other ergonomics issues identified included poor lighting; work surfaces that had hard, sharp edges; and monitors positioned too high, too low or off to the side.

If working at home, you should take a break about every 30 minutes to minimize the risk of injury.

  • Place a pillow on your seat if you need more height.
  • Use a rolled-up pillow or towel behind your back to provide lumbar/back support.
  • Move your chair closer to the desk or table to ensure your back is against the back of the chair.
  • Use books or a box to raise a laptop monitor to eye level.
  • Standing workstations should include a monitor at eye level, keyboard placed so your forearms are parallel to the ground, and a soft or rounded front edge to the working surface

Heater Puffbacks, Oil heater, Gas Furnace, Cause, Prevention of Puffbacks on Boilers, Furnaces, Soot Damage in NJ

Oil burner puffbacks, sooting, explosions: what is an oil burner "puffback"? What causes sooty puffbacks on oil fired boilers, furnaces, water heaters? Why are puffbacks dangerous? How do you detect, diagnose, and prevent boiler or furnace puffbacks? How soot build-up causes higher heating costs on oil fired heaters. Why is soot build-up potentially dangerous on heating equipment? Do faulty boilers cause puffbacks or is it faulty maintenance? Can a faulty chimney cause an oil burner puffback?

What Causes Sooty Puffbacks at Oil-Fired Heating Boilers, Furnaces, Water Heaters?

Here we explain the oil burner or oil heating system puffbacks: what happens, and what causes them.
Watch out: if the reset button on your heating equipment has popped, you might press it ONCE to see if the equipment will run and provide heat (or hot water) while you wait for repair service. But do not keep pressing the button repeatedly, as doing so, particularly if the burner does not run for 10 minutes or more, risks a dangerous puffback explosion when un-burned fuel in the heater finally ignites - causing a puffback explosion.


Definition of heating system puffback: a puffback at oil fired heating equipment is literally an explosion of un-burned oil in the combustion chamber of an oil-fired boiler, furnace, or water heater.


Depending on the quantity of oil that is ignited, the puffback can damage the boiler itself, and may cause the flue vent connector (stackpipe) to become disconnected, and may blow soot throughout the building.


The cause of this puffback explosion is the ignition of un-burned oil lying on or in the bottom of the heating appliance combustion chamber.

The strength of a puffback explosion and the extent of its effect on the building can vary widely depending first on the quantity of oil that is ignited, and second on a longer list of variables such as heater type, design, condition, materials, building construction, spaces, doorways, ductwork, etc.

The most common causes of the presence of this un-burned heating oil fuel are various sources of improper oil burner operation that leaves incompletely-burned heating oil at the end of one or more on-off cycles of the oil burner. These include:

  • To atomize and burn heating oil, the oil burner's fuel unit compresses incoming heating oil to 100 psi or more.
  • Because any extra air in the heating oil piping is also compressed to high pressures (often more than 100 psi) during oil burner operation, any air bubbles present in the system when the oil burner stops its run cycle is exposed to a pressure drop inside the system.
  • The 100 psi air bubble expands, pushing additional un-burned heating oil out of the end of the oil burner nozzle and into the combustion chamber where it may accumulate until, in a dramatic "BANG!" the unburned oil is ignited at the beginning of a future oil burner on-cycle.
  • Oil burner shutdown problems: Incomplete heating oil combustion may also occur if the "shut-down" phase of oil burner operation is not working properly. Inside of the fuel unit of most oil burners is a spring-loaded valve whose job is to quickly and securely stop oil flowing to the oil burner nozzle the moment that the oil burner's fuel unit RPM's begin to slow - when the oil burner is turning "off" at the end of a burn cycle.
  • Even a small amount of dirt on the seat of this oil valve can cause it to leak oil into the combustion chamber instead of making a clean oil-flow shutoff.
  • Poor oil burner maintenance: if an oil burner is running poorly, for example with a dirty oil spray nozzle that has become partly blocked, the result is a poor flame and possibly incomplete combustion of the heating oil being sprayed into the fire chamber. This, too, can lead to accumulation of un-burned heating oil and a subsequent ignition and puffback.

Before a catastrophic puffback occurs, most heating equipment will give plenty of warning in the form of heating oil or combustion gas odors and soot in the building.


If you see black soot and debris on top of your boiler, furnace, or water heater, or black soot stains in the boiler room, furnace room, or living area, the cause could be a poorly-operating heating system that needs prompt attention.

HVAC system Mold in NJ, HVAC mold NJ, Mold removal control in NJ

Mold remediation involving a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and Ductless MiniSplit sytstem,  should be done only by Certified professionals experienced in Mold Remediation. Professionals may have several different methods and techniques for approaching HVAC remediation. As with the rest of a mold remediation project, professional judgment is required when working with HVAC systems.

An HVAC system found to be contaminated with mold should be turned off and not used until the system has been remediated; using a mold-contaminated HVAC system may spread mold throughout the building and increase the exposure of building occupants. 

If possible, the HVAC system should be remediated during off hours when the building is not in use.

Effective containment of the area served by the ventilation system is important to avoid the spread of mold and mold-contaminated materials. All intakes and supply vents should be sealed with plastic and tape, and negative air pressure should be maintained in work areas.

To prevent Mold Spores and Particulates and Dust from entering the system:

1) Use the highest efficiency air filter recommended by the manufacturer of your heating and cooling system.

2) Change filters regularly. (Clean Washable Filters once a Month or more).

3) If your filters become clogged, change them more frequently.

4) Be sure you do not have any missing filters and that air cannot bypass filters through gaps around the filter holder.

5) When having your heating and cooling system maintained or checked for other reasons, be sure to ask the service provider to clean cooling coils and drain pans.

6) During construction or renovation work that produces dust in your home, seal off supply and return registers and do not operate the heating and cooling system until after cleaning up the dust.

7) Remove dust and vacuum your home regularly. (Use a high efficiency vacuum (HEPA) cleaner or the highest efficiency filter bags your vacuum cleaner can take. Vacuuming can increase the amount of dust in the air during and after vacuuming as well as in your ducts).

8) If your heating system includes in-duct humidification equipment, be sure to operate and maintain the humidifier strictly as recommended by the manufacturer.

Ductless Mini Split systems, can also collect Mold Spores. Some ductless systems have common problems with managing the water away from the coils and Vent outlets and Inlet fins, leading to mold, and odor problems.


One of the easiest ways to prevent mold from building up in your ductless air handlers is by not immediately turning off the system when you don't need it. Mini splits don't cycle on and off like conventional air conditioners. Instead, they often run in the background in a low-power mode.

Carefully HEPA vacuum any Soft Particulate/Dust as Routine Maintenance. Carefully inspect the Filter and Wash Filter with Detergent. This process is very similar to Window Air conditioning units.

Termites Love Water Damaged Wood, Termite damage in NJ

The American Dream of most people has always included owning their own home. While renting is sometimes the more practical approach, there is just something special about being able to call the place you live your very own. There are so many things one can do when they own their home…remodel, add on a room, investing in the upkeep and improvements of your dream home.

With that being said, the most important thing one can do involves preserving the value and structure of their house. This is much more important than all the decorating and beautifying of the home. At the top of the list of things that cause damage is moisture. Moisture causes multiple problems that include mildew, mold, rotting and decaying of wood and damaging painted surfaces. This list of moisture problems creates unsightly appearances, health effects and structural damage. Excessive water or moisture in the home also allows the potential of another scary problem—termites!  Termites love water-damaged wood.

Termites are one of the homeowner’s greatest enemies. They are often referred to as Silent Destroyers. You may think this risk or threat does not affect you because you purchased your home not long ago and it was considered to be free of termites. The structure of your home may still be compromised because termites do their damage from the inside out and go undetected until the damage is extensive.

Many homeowners fail to recognize all the water and moisture problems that exist in their house. It does not require a mass flood or standing water for water damage to occur. In fact, you may be causing water damage to your home every time you take a shower or use the toilet. Of course the answer to this is not to stop showering or using the bathroom! However, you should periodically check the caulking around the shower stall or tub. Cracked or missing caulking can cause the wooden structure to be exposed to water and cause wet, decaying wood.

Another common, slow water leak is under the toilet where it connects to the floor. A slow leak may occur over a period of time allowing the subfloor under the toilet to stay wet. Again, this will cause the wood to always be wet and decay and attract those destructive termites.

Termites constantly need to be surrounded by moisture. They live several feet under the surface of the ground, thriving in the damp, cool dirt. They even build tunnels through which they travel as they make their way into your house foraging for their food; damp, water-damaged wood!

Keep your home dry and free of excess moisture and decaying wood. Repair any leaks, replace cracked or missing caulking, keep taking those showers and you will be able to enjoy your American dream home for many years!

Toilet Overflow or Sewer Backup?
Call Today 856-227-7800

Water damage can be classified by the three types of contaminated water. Our Professionals will inspect your home or business to determine the appropriate plan of action for the type of water encountered.

The three types of contaminated water:

Category 1: "Clean Water"

Category 1 water is from a clean source like a broken water supply line or leaking faucet. If not treated quickly, this water can turn into category 2 or 3, depending on length of time, temperature, and contact with surrounding contaminants.

  • Water from a clean source like a broken water line
  • If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3

Category 2: "Gray Water"

Category 2 water is contaminated and could cause discomfort or illness. Examples include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

  • May contain bacteria and viruses
  • Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: "Black Water"

Category 3 water is grossly contaminated and could cause severe illness or death if ingested and any contact should be avoided. Examples include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

  • May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
  • Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

24 Hour Emergency Service

Water contaminated with sewage backup should be considered an emergency situation and dealt with as quickly as possible. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Mold can affect property value and is a common concern for both sellers and buyers. Mold in a home does not have to ruin a sale! But it can negatively affect the property value if the problem isn’t handled correctly and timely. Part of the negative affect on property value is overall perception. For example, no potential buyer wants to walk into a home with mold, it simply just isn’t appealing. Not only does it affect the appearance and the perception of the property, it may incite fear in the buyer due to the potential property damage. Keep in mind the following to prevent mold from lowering your property value.

Mold Disclosure. Each state has it’s own regulations when it comes to mold disclosure. Be sure to check with a real estate lawyer or realtor in your state to avoid costly legal problems.

Restoring Instead of Writing Off Your Losses

9/10/2020 (Permalink)

If you've had a flood in your office, warehouse, or other business, the damage caused by the water can seem to keep on mounting. When you look at it all as one big catastrophe, it can end up feeling like it's the end of your business. SERVPRO can help your business recover when we provide you and your business with some of the many different services.

SERVPRO can meet, and even exceed, your expectations for cleanup after you've had commercial flood damage in Gloucester Township. We can help protect your business's financial health by undoing the damage caused by the water that invaded your property. This includes your inventory, the internal structure, and the furnishings. Many of these items may have had your business's trademark, logo, or other branding, increasing the cost of replacing them. We can decrease the cost of these replacements by restoring what may only seem irreparable. Because we are experts in restoring many different types of items, many insurance companies are willing to work with us in getting everything sorted out and back to normal for businesses who have had flooding and other disasters.

While paperboard items such as displays will need to be replaced, other advertising materials can often be saved. Inventory that is washable can always be restored. We'll place your damaged but salvageable items in containers and take these to our site, then return them to you in better condition. Other items that are fixed in place, such as equipment, can be cleaned at your site, and then sanitized to ensure a healthy environment is restored.

Appearances are only on the surface; we want to restore your business to a healthy state. Another aspect of our cleaning is eliminating the odors that also come with flood damage. If odor remains, we know that there is something remaining that is causing it. We'll work to find the source of the odor, remove it, and if the odor remains, as it sometimes does, we'll deodorize, as well. For structural damage, we have professionals who can restore the interior areas that were damaged by the flood waters, such as drywall. Our technicians can decrease the drying time of other materials by increasing the ventilation in conjunction with raised temperatures.

When commercial flood damage is affecting your business, call SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800. We can have your business back to new in a short time, save your inventory and business materials, and much more. We are accessible 24/7 to answer your questions or begin cleaning up and restoring your business.

Mold "Removal" vs Remediation

9/10/2020 (Permalink)

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy.

A qualified restoration company understands the science behind mold and mold growth. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business. Mold remediation focuses on getting mold levels back to normal, natural levels.

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. To learn more about our mold remediation process.

  • Step 1: Emergency Contact 856-227-7800
  • Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
  • Step 3: Mold Containment
  • Step 4: Air Filtration
  • Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
  • Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Belongings
  • Step 7: Restoration

  • When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

    • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
    • Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
    • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants and have the potential to cause other health effects. 
    • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
    • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
    • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Basement mold is often the result of a source of moisture — leaky foundations or condensation from appliances are typical culprits. One of the first steps in the prevention of basement mold is to ensure that your basement is free of any moisture and doesn't support a damp, humid environment where mold can thrive.

If mold in the basement is already a problem in your home, there are many options for the control and removal basement mold. Depending on the extent and severity of the problem, and the type of mold, you may need to explore options for professional mold removal.

There are 4 critical requirements for mold growth – available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and considerable moisture. The removal of any one of these items will prohibit mold growth.

The only way to reduce the threat of mold in a home is to maintain an environment that is not hospitable for the germination of mold spores. The temperature should be 74-78 degrees F, and the relative humidity of 60% or less. It is important that the air conditioning system (HVAC) be kept on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Inconsistent operation or fluctuations in the temperature and humidity are the cause of many serious mold outbreaks.

Mold Humidity Bloom is the growth of mold within a living space due to the elevation of indoor relative humidity at or above 60 percent relative humidity for a period of time greater than 72 hours and must be maintained for growth to continue. When the humidity is above 60 percent relative humidity, molds will germinate causing what is referred to as a mold bloom. These molds can bloom in many colors and are often confused with dust, dirt, foxing, or cobwebs.

Humidity for an extended period of time, typically in excess of 72 hours to initiate the bloom and must be maintained for growth to continue. When the humidity is above 60 percent relative humidity, molds will germinate causing what is referred to as a mold bloom. These molds can bloom in many colors and are often confused with dust, dirt, foxing, ghosting, or cobwebs

Both active and inactive mold can have a distinctive smell, which most people describe as musty.

Active mold in the early stages of a bloom has hair-like filaments in webs, which develop a more bushy appearance as the bloom matures. This is more easily seen under magnification. Active mold is soft and may smear when touched with a fine brush. It may also be slimy and damp.

Inactive mold is dry and powdery and will seem to brush off materials readily.

Mold and mildew are words that refer to more than 100,000 species of fungi. Mold spores are present everywhere in our environment, generally in a dormant state where they do little damage. Spores require moisture to become active. They do not require light.

When water or high relative humidity provides the necessary moisture, dormant spores will germinate, grow fine web-like structures, and eventually produce fruiting bodies that release more spores. Most molds will germinate at 60 percent relative humidity. Increases in temperature can speed the growth rate of active mold.

There are 4 critical requirements for mold growth – available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and considerable moisture. The removal of any one of these items will prohibit mold growth.

The only way to reduce the threat of mold in a home is to maintain an environment that is not hospitable for the germination of mold spores. The temperature should be 74-78 degrees F, and the relative humidity of 60% or less. It is important that the air conditioning system (HVAC) be kept on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Roof Damage in NJ, Prevent Roof Algae, Moss, and Lichens

Roof Damage in NJ, Prevent Roof Algae, Moss, and Lichens, water damage restoration in NJ, water damage in NJ

The roof over your head protects you and your family from the weather, the elements, and nature in general. That means that it's exposed to all of those things 24/7, which, in turn, means that dirt, water, leaves, plants, and more all find their way onto the roof at some point.

The problem is that rain and snow can often make your roof appear clean when there's actually dirt, moss, lichen, and algae existing all over the roof (especially on the side that gets less sun).

Just because these things can appear invisible doesn't mean that they aren't a problem for you and your home. They can also cause aesthetic problems: these things can make your roof appear blotchy and stained with dark blue and green splotches on various parts of the roof.

Algae, moss, and lichens on your roof can greatly decrease your roof's lifespan and increase the likelihood you'll need a roof replacement sooner. They can lead to gutter and shingle damage as well.

Not only that, but these things can also harbor mold spores, which can lead to mold growth. Mold can cause various health effects throughout your home.

Roof cleaning services can get rid of, and prevent, algae, moss, and lichen growth on your roof. Cleaning after you notice any of this growth can reduce any potential damage it causes.

Failing to clean your roof can lead to shingle damage as a result of ice dams, falling debris, and the algae/moss/lichen growth. Damaged or missing shingles, can lead to serious problems with your roof including:

  • Mold growth
  • Water damage to the roof and the inside of your home
  • Mold and/or fungal growth
  • Decreased energy efficiency (increased power bills)

Shingle damage in the winter is especially damaging. Debris, snow, and ice can easily damage or remove shingles if they are not cleaned properly. This can allow water to seep into your roof, walls, and more.

When that water freezes, it can lead to cracks in your roof, walls, and home's structure. Not only is this very expensive to fix, it's also extremely dangerous for your home's structural integrity.

We offer free estimates, for Water damage, Mold Inspections, Mold Remediation, and Discolorations on Surfaces.

The CDC Guidelines are: Wearing gloves outside of these instances (for example, when using a shopping cart or using an ATM) will not necessarily protect you from getting COVID-19 and may still lead to the spread of germs. The best way to protect yourself from germs when running errands and after going out is to regularly wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

  • Wear reusable or disposable gloves for routine cleaning and disinfection.
  • Clean surfaces using soap and water, then use disinfectant.
  • Cleaning with soap and water reduces number of germs, dirt and impurities on the surface. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.
  • Practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces. High touch surfaces include:
    • Tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc.

 Disinfect

  • Disinfect with a household disinfectant.
    Follow the instructions on the label to ensure safe and effective use of the product safely and effectively.
    Many products recommend:

In addition, check your HVAC system and HVAC air filter, to make sure they are Clean.  Use a HEPA HVAC filter when changing.

Also, make sure your Vacuum has a HEPA filter as well, and is changed regularly, and disinfected as well.

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Many restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy. We understand mold and mold growth. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business.

Signs of Mold? Call Today – (856) 227-7800

Understanding Mold

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

The Mold Remediation Process

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. Learn more about our mold remediation process.

Mold and Stucco remediation in NJ, Stucco mold in NJ, Water intrusion in NJ, Stucco repair in NJ

The process of repairing the stucco is referred to as stucco remediation. Your first instinct may be to simply call a stucco company to repair the façade of your home, but that might not be the right thing to do.

Companies that are stucco only will have the know-how to remove and replace the existing façade of your home. 

This repair and remediation process occurs mostly around Windows, Gutters, and Doorways, and the Stucco Wall cavities themselves.  Incorrect Materials and Installation, and Water Weep Screens, are typically the problem.

While this is important, it may simply cover up the effects caused by the moisture. The structural integrity of your home can still be in jeopardy if the underlying problems still exist.

Simply put, a stucco repair company could lack the knowledge and ability to identify and repair the problems that result from the water damage. And if they aren’t properly corrected, that can lead to even more damage and expense in the future.

Moisture intrusion most often affects stucco-clad homes, but can also affect homes made of brick, stone, wood or composite siding, and typically affects homes built between 1985 and 2003. Having the right person inspect your home for damage is crucial to find and repair problems to the home’s wood structure that aren’t visible to the eye. Rot and mold within the wall cavity can cause serious damage, causing Thousands of Dollars in repairs and remediation.

SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile for Landlords

9/2/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO's new Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) system allows business owners to easily keep track of all properties and locations during a hurricane, and respond appropriately. Using the tool, you can create multiple individualized profiles and information sets for each property you own, and with just a few clicks after an emergency, our technicians will have all the information they need to get to work on mitigating damage. As a result, they can save owners of multiple properties, such as landlords, thousands in repair costs after a storm by responding quickly to each location. 
 
During a storm, commercial water damage in Blackwood apartments and rental properties can come in the form of flooding, staining, physical damages, rain exposure, and any of a host of other small problems. Usually, our technicians have to spend precious time evaluating the building and formulating an approach, but this process is hastened with SERVPRO's ERP system. Through it, they can access relevant contact information, building plans and layouts, and critical information about utility systems. This is especially useful in attached properties, which may share utilities and resources with neighboring locations. 
 
Generally, the information you submit to the ERP system is the same information that we will ask for during the emergency. The main difference is that instead of having to operate under heavy time constraints and rely on you to be available to provide that information, we can access the information digitally and before we even arrive. When a disaster hits, you can log onto our website or open up the app and have us responding with all the info we need in seconds. For apartments and rental properties, this can include relevant information and contact routes for tenants, ensuring that they make it through the process unscathed as well. 
 
SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township operates on the principle of mitigation to respond around the clock and save landlords thousands in restoration costs. Call us at 856-227-7800 for our help or to learn more about the ERP system.

Avoid Underground Hazards

Striking buried utility lines can cause serious damage and expose you to injuries. Call 811 before you to dig to avoid hazards. 

Underground electric, gas, communications and water lines are everywhere—even on private property. Striking a single line while digging can cause serious injuries, as well as service disruption that may result in repair costs, fines, and environmental damage.

The good news is that you can easily avoid these hazards by having your underground pipes, wires, and equipment located and marked out for free.

Call 811 First—It's the Law

Call 811 at least 3 and no more than 10 business days prior to digging to have underground pipes, wires, and equipment located and marked for free.

Digging projects include:

  • Planting a tree
  • Putting in a new mailbox post
  • Installing a fence
  • Doing any kind of home, garage, or deck construction

A basement can flood at any time, although flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall. Basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a building and are normally built partly or entirely below ground level. There are a number of reasons why your basement could flood, including: 

  • A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe
  • Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home
  • Storm sewer backup
  • Sanitary sewer backup
  • Foundation drainage failure
  • Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure
  • Washer Hose burst 
  • Water Maine Line burst

Get Rid of Skunk Odor in NJ, Skunk Odor removal in NJ, Pet and Skunk Odor in NJ Get Rid of Skunk Odor in NJ, Skunk Odor removal in NJ, Pet and Skunk Odor in NJ

Skunk spray contains sulfur-based organic compounds called thiols. These compounds let off an immediate blast of acrid scent, reminiscent of rotten eggs.

Skunk spray also contains thioacetates. Thioacetates remain dormant at first, but can morph into smell-producing thiols when they come into contact with water or humidity. This can happen days or longer after the skunking occurred. It’s the thioacetates in skunk spray that give it its staying power.

Compounding this stinky situation is the sensitivity of the human nose, which can pick up skunk smell in tiny quantities — as low as 1 part per 10 billion.

Everyone knows that tomato juice is handy for deskunking a dog, but it’s not the only old-time remedy that works to get rid of skunk odor from your dog. Some other ingredients to keep on hand in quantity in case of emergency include vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and backing soda, Dawn Dish soap and Clean water.

Get your pet Shampooed and cleaned immediately!  Be careful of your pets eyes, nose and mouth and feet.  

The best way to eliminate skunk odor is to avoid it altogether. Believe it or not, skunks hate strong odors. You can keep them out of your woodshed or other outbuildings by hanging a bar of strong disinfectant or room deodorizer in the space or area.  Even Bars of old soap can be used.

Why and Where Mold Grows, Mold remediation in NJ, Mold cleaning in NJ, Mold inspection in NJ Why and Where Mold Grows, Mold remediation in NJ, Mold cleaning in NJ, Mold inspection in NJ

Why and Where Mold Grows, Mold remediation in NJ, Mold cleaning in NJ, Mold inspection in NJ

Mold can grow on virtually any organic material as long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that grow on:

  • Wood
  • Paper
  • Carpet
  • Food
  • Insulation

Because mold eats or digests what it is growing on, it can damage a building and its furnishings. If left unchecked, mold eventually can cause structural damage to building materials.

Molds gradually destroy the things they grow on. You can prevent damage to buildings and building contents, save money by controlling moisture and eliminating mold growth.

Eliminating all mold and mold spores indoors is virtually impossible, but controlling indoor moisture will control the growth of indoor mold.

Common moisture problems include:

  • Leaking roofs.
  • Leaking or condensing water pipes, especially pipes inside wall cavities or pipe chases.
  • Leaking fire-protection sprinkler systems.
  • Landscaping, gutters and down spouts that direct water into or under a building.
  • High humidity (60% relative humidity).
  • Unvented combustion appliances such as clothes dryers vented into a garage. (Clothes dryers and other combustion appliances should be vented to the outside.)

Some moisture problems are not easy to see. For example, the inside of walls where pipes and wires are run (pipe chases and utility tunnels) are common sites of mold growth. Mold is frequently found on walls in cold corners behind furniture where condensation forms. Other possible locations of hidden moisture, resulting in hidden mold growth are:

  • Poorly draining condensate drain pains inside air handling units.
  • Porous thermal or acoustic liners inside duct work.
  • Roof materials above ceiling tiles.
  • The back side of drywall (also known as gypsum board, wallboard, or SHEETROCK®), paneling, and wallpaper.
  • The underside of carpets and pads.

Humidity levels can rise in a building as a result of the use of:

  • Humidifiers
  • Steam radiators
  • Moisture-generating appliances such as dryers
  • Combustion appliances such as stoves

Cooking and showering also can add to indoor humidity.

Condensation

Condensation can be a sign of high humidity.

When warm, humid air contacts a cold surface, condensation may form. (To see this, remove a cold bottle of water from a refrigerator and take it outside on a hot day. 

We offer free estimates, for Mold Inspections, Mold Remediation, and Discolorations on Surfaces.

Maintaining Your Kit

After assembling your kit remember to maintain it so it’s ready when needed:

  • Store boxed food in tightly closed plastic or metal containers.
  • Replace expired items as needed.
  • Re-think your needs every year and update your kit as your family’s needs change.

Pet waste removal in NJ, Animal feces removal in NJ, Biohazard, Pet waste removal in NJ, Animal feces removal in NJ, Biohazard,

It might not seem like a stormwater problem, but animal waste is one of the many seemingly small sources of pollution that can add up to big problems for water quality, and even human health.

Animal waste contains two main types of pollutants that harm local waters: nutrients and pathogens.

When this waste ends up in water bodies, it decomposes, releasing nutrients that cause excessive growth of algae and weeds. This makes the water murky, green, smelly, and even unusable for swimming, boating, or fishing. 

The pathogens, disease causing bacteria and viruses, can also make local waters unswimmable and unfishable, and have caused severe illness in humans.

So, the easiest way to avoid these problems is to clean up after your pet each and every time, and dispose of the waste properly.

Vandalism & Graffiti Cleanup

8/8/2020 (Permalink)

Vandalism and graffiti can be very upsetting. It can range from relatively minor pranks to malicious destruction of property. Often simple acts of vandalism, like breaking a window, can cause significant water and mold damage if not addressed in a timely manner.

As a home or business owner, vandalism is a feared situation that no one wishes to encounter. Property damage caused by vandalism can range from minor pranks such as a broken window, to destruction of the property. If the property damage is not addressed in a timely manner, it can cause permanent damage to the structure.

Replace vs Restore

7/29/2020 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp., our goal on every water, fire, or mold damage job is to save more and replace less. When assessing damage in a home or business, our team will determine what can be salvaged or cleaned, such as contents, furniture, & structural materials. Our team will then perform pre-testing to determine what the best method of cleaning will be.  

The major advantage to restore vs. replace is cost. In almost any situation, restore saves a tremendous amount of money compared to replacement.  One area where we can generate huge savings in a water loss situation is drying of hardwood floors instead of replacing them. Even after incurring the cost of air movers, dehumidifiers and even specialize equipment usually there is a 45%-75% cost savings over replacement. Another common example would be the drying of carpet and/or drywall.  Again using air movers and dehumidifiers and following the science of drying we can often save 75%-90% over replacement cost. You can imagine how quickly these savings add up.

Another advantage of restore versus replace is time savings and business interruption savings. Drying a structure usually takes an average of three to five days. After our drying is completed, your customer should be back in their house or business right away. Back, as we like to say, “Like it never even happened”. If you look at the alternative which is replace, your customer will have to wait weeks or even months to get back into their home or business while construction is going on.  This leads to expensive hotel bills for residential customers or catastrophic business interruption costs for commercial customers. Either way you are talking a great deal of money, time and inconvenience!

For these reasons we at SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. look to restore whenever we can and whenever it makes sense.  We accomplish this by not only using our extensive training, knowledge and resources but also by responding immediately so that the impact of the water or fire damage is reduced. We also help you mitigate your damages before they even happen with our Emergency Ready Profile (ERP).  This program prepares you for the loss before it even occurs. If you or your customers do not have an ERP yet, you need one! Set up an appointment right away.         It’s free!

The Importance of Duct Cleaning

7/29/2020 (Permalink)

Pollutants like dust, pet hair and mold spores can travel throughout your home or business through your air duct system hindering the quality of the air you breathe. While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.

SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Township uses a portable system of whips and brushes to thoroughly clean and deodorize your ducts. We place the HVAC system under negative air pressure to ensure that all the pollutants are removed and captured through a hepa filter. A clean duct system improves the indoor air quality and reduces allergens and odors from spreading through your home or business. 

The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:

• Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
• May help to eliminate offensive odors.
• Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.

Why worry when we can worry for you?

Call Us Today! 856-227-7800.  SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Township 
is Here to Help.

How our SERVPRO Team dries a structure after a water damage

7/21/2020 (Permalink)

Efficient drying for a Gloucester Township home involves a unique balance of several elements, including the temperature of the environment, the airflow against damaged areas, and the humidity. Because humidity levels are a common concern throughout the year in New Jersey, our SERVPRO professionals must identify higher moisture content concerns before beginning drying processes to ensure that we are adequately offering an efficient solution.

Finding the right approach to resolve this concern begins with initial readings and scoping of the water damage in Gloucester Township homes. Our technicians have sophisticated moisture content tools that can determine the concentration of water damages and the humidity levels in the structure before starting mitigation. These readings can help our professionals to determine the placement and number of dehumidifiers necessary to regulate moist air to make drying more efficient.

In many cases, establishing containment areas can expedite the drying process by limiting the range and workload of dehumidifiers and drying equipment. These drying zones allow our SERVPRO team to regulate airflow and temperature more directly as well, helping to increase the turnover time on returning your property to preloss condition. These barriers get constructed with thick plastic poly sheeting but could also feature ventilation points for the exhausting of moist air when desiccants get used.

Once moisture content has reached adequate levels in the environment, we can direct air movers at saturated walls and flooring to begin evaporative drying techniques. Ultimately, this increases humidity again, but the placement of dehumidifiers counteracts running air movers to balance created moisture in the air to dry damaged materials and contents continually. When combined with warmer temperatures that can get produced by either our air movers or direct warmth from portable electric heaters, evaporation can increase even further.

Understanding drying sciences allows our SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township team to provide an efficient and practical drying approach for every water loss incident we encounter. If you want to make a disaster, “Like it never even happened,” give our professionals a call 24/7 at (856) 227-7800

4 Steps Landlords of Older Properties Should Take

6/23/2020 (Permalink)

Sewge in rental unit This basement apartment had sewage damage caused by a clogged main drain

4 Steps Landlords of Older Properties Should Take

Older properties have a few advantages such as charm and location, but they can be difficult to maintain, especially for landlords. Plumbing issues can haunt landlords and operators of apartment complexes. Many of the systems are outdated. Obsolete pipes made of polybutylene not only frequently crack and break but they also affect the quality of the drinking water. If the goal is to avoid constant repairs and frequent complaints from tenants, a landlord should try these solutions.

  1. Schedule Inspections. Regular plumbing inspections can catch small problems before they get big and expensive. They can also prevent expensive problems, like water damage that destroys flooring and creates other issues such as mold growth. Plus, an expense that is planned for is often easier to manage than a surprise bill.
  2. Replace Polybutylene Piping. This product was popular in the 1970s and the 1980s because it was inexpensive and easy to install. Unfortunately, it doesn't belong in a rental unit plumbing system, or anywhere else for that matter, for a number of reasons. Repeated repairs will just result in more repairs. The solution is to replace the pipes with PEX, CPVC, copper, or some other suitable material.
  3. Partner With a Mitigation Company. The services of a professional water remediation franchise can come in handy for a number of circumstances. Water restoration experts arrive quickly on the scene and take care of a water problem 24/7 and 365 days a year. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township employees are IICRC certified and have the training and equipment to handle water leaks, toilet overflows, sewage backups, and broken pipes.
    4. Monitor Sewer Lines. Tree roots and other obstructions can cause sewage overflows and backups. Regular maintenance can clear away dangers to sewer pipes.
    Problems such as polybutylene piping and other outdated components complicate the lives of landlords. A professional response to a water problem can make their work easier.

  1. Absorption – Some surfaces are too fragile to use a water-based or solvent-based cleaner. In these cases, a dry powder is used to coat the property lightly. They are very efficient in removing soils from porous surfaces like brick, carpet, drapes, marble, and upholstery. Once the contamination has absorbed into the powder, it is easily extracted by dry wiping or using a vacuum if possible.
  2. Surface Techniques – Spray and Wipe and Foam Cleaning prevent material from being saturated with water or a cleaning agent. Spray and Wipe is the preferred technique for hard surfaces and furniture. Once the agent is sprayed or misted onto the property, it is wiped off with a dry towel. We use Foam Cleaning on the property that is easily damaged by excessive moisture. It still puts enough cleaning agent onto the assets while reducing the amount of liquid. Technicians apply foam by hand using a sponge or with a pump-up sprayer which is dryer still and a better technique for more delicate or older fabrics.
  3. Saturation Techniques – Hand Wash and Rinse use cloth towels soaked in a cleaning agent to cover and lightly scrub soils and other contaminants from surfaces and fabrics. After several repeats, a dry towel is used to absorb the remaining moisture. For deeply stained cloth, we deploy an Upholstery Cleaning Machine (UCM). This device uses a cleaning agent or water to remove heavy soil along with an adjustable agitation action to work contamination from the property.
  4. Immersion Technique – Response team members, place affected property into a tank filled with one of our cleaning agents. The technician maintains constant observation of the property to ensure thorough cleaning without damage to the item. If needed, the technician has the option to use an ultrasonic cleaner to generate sound waves that force millions of vapor bubbles through the immersed item for faster operation.

3 Factors That Can Contribute to Mold Regrowth in Homes

5/9/2020 (Permalink)

If you notice a musty odor or mold that is dark in color in your home in Sicklerville, NJ, your home likely has black mold. However, you may notice that the mold reappears shortly after you thought it was gone. There are several reasons regrowth commonly occurs in homes.

1. Access to Water

In damp environments, mold often thrives, and a leaky faucet or broken appliance can provide mold with the perfect environment to continuously regrow in one area. Residual water from flooding or other types of water damage also makes regrowth more likely. Many homeowners find it helpful to contact mold remediation experts to assist in mold cleanup.

2. Humidity

Even if your home hasn’t been affected by flooding or leaks, high levels of humidity are often enough to cause black mold growth. In kitchens or bathrooms, mold is particularly likely to grow due to humidity. Though it isn’t always possible to avoid high humidity levels in your home, using a dehumidifier in areas that are particularly humid can sometimes help to prevent mold growth.

3. Circulation of Air

Though many people may not consider the circulation of air to be a factor in mold regrowth, the airflow in a home can affect the rate at which it grows. Spores spread more easily in a home that has lots of air circulation, which can be caused by air conditioners or by windows being left open. Though it’s often not possible to eliminate air circulation in a house entirely, reducing the amount of airflow in the area that is prone to mold growth can be helpful.

Black mold is most likely to regrow in an area when it has access to water and when there are high levels of humidity and airflow in a home. You can more easily prevent mold from spreading in your home when you understand the common causes of regrowth.

Water: even a little can cause a lot of damage to your Gloucester Township property

Any amount of unexpected water can cause a lot of damage, fast! SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township receives calls from customers who have had water damage in their home or office every day, and we are often told that the water has only affected a small area.

However, more often than not, what the property owner believes is a small amount of water can turn out to be a much larger headache than originally anticipated. This is because water damage isn’t always so easily visible. Water runs across and down easily, and it does not stay put in one area, or where the water loss originally occurred.

Saving carpets

4/13/2020 (Permalink)

The most common thing we hear after a water damage to your home is "Can my carpets be saved?" Once the damage has occurred, the technician will evaluate the extent of the damage to determine whether or not the carpet will need to be replaced. 

Step 1: Call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township

There are many reasons to work with us. Our experts have the equipment and knowledge to facilitate a quick and easy recovery. In most cases your insurance company will prefer that you work with professionals, and may provide coverage if you're not responding to a water damage promptly. Water damage restoration professionals will provide you with expert advice concerning water damage to your home. 

Stage 2: Take Note of Exposure Time 

If the carpets in your home or business have been saturated for longer than 72 hours, it would be in your best interest to replace them. Generally when carpets go under extreme saturation and are not dried properly, mold spurs will start to grow within the carpet. 

Stage 3: Where Did the Water Come From? 

One of the most important things to consider after a water damage is to find the source of the flooding. Depending on the type of water determines the course of action you would have to take. The most risk comes along with sewer or groundwater. Our technicians are trained in identifying the different types of water depending on their origin.

Step 4: Consider Your Course of Action 

When starting the remediation process, a few different options will be presented to you. You should consider the time, inconvenience, cost, and safety before making a decision. Often times carpet removal is an option, due to the extent and type of damage. 

Here at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township we can make the process much easier if you call us immediately to handle the situation at hand. Call Today at (856) 227-7800 for 24/7 emergency service! 

Wind Storms

4/2/2020 (Permalink)

Wind storms can occur during any season and could be accompanied by another storm such as hurricane, thunderstorm, or even a snow storm. We all know that these types of storms can hit at a moment’s notice.  Whenever you experience high winds, you should take shelter immediately to protect yourself from the flying debris. The roof of your home is also extremely venerable during this type of weather.

High winds can lift and/or rip the shingles right off of your roof causing damage and future leaks. You will want to make sure your roof is well taken care of and the materials can withstand high, damaging winds. Instead of shingles and asphalt, replacing your roof with metal or stone might make it more durable.  

Trees are also very vulnerable during wind storms. To prevent future roof damage from a fallen tree, make sure you observe your property to ensure there are not dead trees or limbs hanging in the vicinity and that all trees are a safe distance from your home.

If you experience any kind of damage to your roof, it should be addressed and fixed immediately. If a roof is left unfixed, you might end up needing our services for water and/or mold damage.

In Case of a Fire

4/1/2020 (Permalink)

Household and Apartment fires can be different to handle. Residents in an apartment building may face two situations. Either the fire could be in your apartment. OR the fire could be in another apartment in the building.

  • CALL 9-1-1
  • Make sure everyone is out and safe, including pets.
  • Once you leave the fire do NOT go back in.
  • Alert others in the building.
  • Activate the fire alarm, if there is one.
  • Close doors behind you, this will slow the spread of the fire.
  • If you are in a multi-story building, do NOT use any elevators.
  • If you become trapped in a room, these steps are recommended:
  1. Keep door closed. Opening the door will decrease your chances of survival.
  2. Stay low.
  3. Wait by the window and identify your distress.
  4. Do NOT hide under beds or in closets
  5. Seal the bottom of the door with blankets or clothing to keep the smoke out
  • Exits should never be blocked.
  • Have and know a fire escape plan.

Types of smoke:

  • Wet Smoke- Plastics and Rubbers= Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary.
  • Dry Smoke- Paper and Wood= Fast burning, high temperatures,
  • Protein Fire Residue- Produced by evaporation of materials rather than from a fire. Discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor.

How should a fire damage be cleaned up? Call SERVPRO!

If a house sustains a fire, it is important that you get the proper clean up so the soot, ash and water do not wreak havoc on what is left. It is bad enough there was a fire, but the water and chemicals used to put the fire out can cause secondary damage.

The average person will attempt conventional cleaning methods like renting a steam cleaner and using common cleaning agents from the store. This could cause more damage, as the chemical agents could react with the residue and cause more or even permanent damage and also toxic fumes.

Our crews are IICRC certified to handle these types of clean ups. 

Call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township @ 856-227-7800 with any questions. We are available 24 hours a day!

Mold Inspections

3/13/2020 (Permalink)

You may think you’ve ferreted out all the mold in your home, but the odds are you don’t even know all the places to start looking for mold growth. Mold isn’t just a surface issue; did you know if you have mold on your walls, it’s likely you also have mold behind your walls as well? And not just there. Let’s take a look at six places where you might find mold, as long as you know where to look.

1. Behind your walls. Moldy drywall can leave your entire house smelling musty and can let mold spread unchecked and out of sight.
2. Underneath your carpeting. If moisture gets trapped under your carpet, it’s a perfect space for mold to grow – enclosed, dark, with pockets of wetness for it to feed on. It will also feed on organic matter such as carpet glue and carpet fiber.
3. Inside the wood of your floors. Because mold feeds on organic matter, older wood floors can be ripe for this. Mold on wood happens when wood gets old and begins to soften with frequent water absorption.
4. Under sinks. Drips and leaks can slowly accumulate under sinks until you don’t even think to check in this out-of-the-way place when mold growth can be slow – but once it starts, it’s hard to get rid of.
5. Underneath laminate flooring. Laminate flooring has many of the same problems as carpeting, and once moisture is trapped underneath, mold will happily devour the glue on the laminate.
6. Inside your appliances. Refrigerators and air conditioners are the worst culprits when they can often accumulate condensation that feeds mold. Any appliance that attracts condensation can grow mold, though.

Sometimes, you may not be able to identify mold growth in small spaces or have the tools to check for mold underneath flooring. That’s when a mold remediation specialist at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township  can come in handy – to help you get your mold problem under control. 

Storm Tips

3/10/2020 (Permalink)

Storms occur with sometimes, little to no warning, in which case can make it difficult to plan how to prepare.  It is common to see a storm with heavy downpours of rain causing flooding in the most protected neighborhoods.  Do you know what to do during a flood?  SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township has a few tips for you to follow in case an event was to happen:

  • Be prepared, create an evacuation plan
  • Learn and identify different evacuation routes to be able to evacuate quickly
  • If public transportation is relied on, contact the local emergency management for evacuation information
  • Turn Around, Don't Drown! ® Moving water above two feet can knock you down; one foot of water can move vehicles away
  • Move to higher ground if there is a chance of flash flooding
  • Driving during high rainfalls can be extremely dangerous.  Stay updated by checking service announcements through the National Weather Service.

For more information about flooding, visit https://www.ready.gov/floods.  Be proactive and create an evacuation plan to keep safe.

Candles

3/9/2020 (Permalink)

There is something calming about candles.  They look pretty and enhance the ambiance in a room, they give off a fragrant smell that can be so luring, but they can also be the cause to a house fire.   According to the National Fire Protection Association, 3 out of every 5 candle fires started when they were placed to something that can burn, such as furniture, bedding, or decorations.  Review the tips below to prevent any house fires this holiday season:

  • Blow out candles before leaving a room or going to bed
  • Keep candles one foot (30 centimeters) away from anything that can burn
  • Use a sturdy candle holder, that will not tip over easily
  • Put candle holders and a sturdy and unclutter surface
  • Light candles carefully, keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame
  • Do not let the candle burn all the way to the bottom; put it out before it gets too close to the container or holder
  • You should not light a candle if oxygen is used in the home
  • During a power outage, use a flashlight or battery-operated lighting instead of a candle

Although candles can add to the décor in the room, however, they can also add danger.  Remember candles are an open flame which means they can easily ignite.  Create an environment that is safe for you, use alternatives to prevent any candle fires in homes like using flameless candles.  As always, remember SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is here to help!

Mold

In order for mold to grow and thrive, there must be excess moisture, food, the right temperature and lack of ventilation. 

The most important step that any property owner can take is to identify any humidity, moisture or water problems before they create bigger more costly issues. Look for any water or moisture present in your home.  Be sure to pay special attention to your plumbing in basements and crawl spaces where a water leak wouldn't be as noticeable.  Recognize musty or moldy odors, which indicate mold growth.  Your sense of smell may alert you to potential problems you cannot see.   As soon as you become aware of a different smell this is perfect time to start investigating a little bit further.  Control humidity in bathrooms and wherever water is used on a regular basis.  The use of exhaust fans, proper caulking and effective cleaning with a bleach based product will help keep problems away.  Inspect your HVAC systems and air conditioners as well as this is a common location where mold is present.  Regular inspection and maintenance can identify moisture problems or drain clogs before they get worse.  

If moisture or mold  is spotted contact  SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township professionals to come out and take a look. We will be able to provide you with an estimate for what it will take to clean the affected areas.

Water Damage

3/2/2020 (Permalink)

One goal of water damage restoration is to preserve and protect the structure.  One concern is water saturated carpet and pad.  Delamination is the most frequent type of damage to carpets when exposed to water.  Delamination is a mode of failure for composite materials and steel. In laminated materials, repeated cyclic stresses, impact, and so on can cause layers to separate, forming a mica-like structure of separate layers, with significant loss of mechanical toughness.  Delamination is caused when the latex adhesive holding the primary backing to the secondary backing is damaged.  Good carpets have higher quality of latex and may suffer less damage even after hours of exposure.  While at your home our SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township  service professionals will inspect the flooring to ensure proper mitigation can take place. 

Water damage to glued down carpeting often causes bubbling due to loss of adhesive.  If it is a small area that has bubbled, the carpet might be restored.  Otherwise, the carpet may need to be replaced.  Again SERVPRO  of Blackwood/Gloucester Township  service professionals will be able to determine the status of the flooring.

Mildew usually refers to molds that grow in wet buildings.  Natural fiber carpets are especially prone to mildew odor damage.  Saturated carpets should be dried properly and treated with a mildew deodorizer.

By responding quickly and drying  the carpet thoroughly, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township  professionals can help mitigate these secondary damages following any water loss.

Commercial Loss

It's important that we know our facts about the weather patterns to prepare for any future emergencies.  Learn the common myths and facts about lightning during spring!
 

Myth: If it's not raining, then there is no danger from lightning. 
Fact: Lightning often strikes outside of heavy rain and may occur as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall.  This is especially true in the western United States where thunderstorms sometimes produce very little rain. 

Myth: The rubber soles of shoes or rubber tires on a car protect you from being struck by lightning. 
Fact: Rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires proved no protection from lightning.  The steel frame of a hard-topped vehicle provides increased protection if you are not touching metal.  Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside. 

Myth: "Heat lightning" occurs after very hot summer days and poses no threat. 
Fact: "Heat lightning" is a term used to describe lightning from a thunderstorm too far away for thunder to be heard. 

To find out more information about the myths and the facts about lightning go to www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov.

Winter Storms can cause property damage

2/2/2020 (Permalink)

Flooded Basement This customers basement flooded with almost 3 ft of water due to a broken pipe

Winter weather can bring about more issues than just slippery roads and sidewalks. In Gloucester Township, winter temperatures can drop below the freezing level, making your home or business at risk for frozen pipes and ice dams, which can create a major disaster to your property.

FROZEN PIPES

Frozen pipes are often those exposed to the cold weather, such as those outside your house, or in cold areas such as basements, attics, garages, or kitchen cabinets.

A frozen pipe can burst at the point where the ice blockage inside the pipe is located, but typically the rupture is caused by the backflow pressure between the water source and the blockage. A burst pipe can cause considerable damage to your property if not addressed quickly.

To help prevent pipes from freezing, here are a few steps you can follow:

-Be sure to completely drain water from swimming pool and sprinkler lines, as well as outside hoses.

-Open kitchen cabinets to let warm air near the plumbing.

-When the weather is extremely cold, let water drip from faucets that may come from exposed pipes.

-Keep your heat set to the same temperature both day and night.

ICE DAMS

Ice dams can be a little-known, but major problem during the snowy season. They form when heated air melts roof snow downward into water dammed behind still-frozen ice. When the trapped water cannot safely flow or run into the gutter system, it can backflow under the roof ’s shingles and into the structure’s interior areas, as well as causing gutters and shingles to move or fall.

Icicles can be an initial sign of an ice dam, according to Travelers.com. To spot ice dams inside, “check for water stains or moisture in your attic or along the ceiling of exterior walls of your house. Water stains or moisture may be an indication that an ice dam has formed and water has penetrated the roof membrane.”

Removing an ice dam as soon as it is found is vital to helping prevent damage to your property and can be done using heated cables, a roof shovel, or calcium chloride ice melt.

If winter weather causes water damage to your property, SERVPRO® of Blackwood / Gloucester Township Professionals are only a call away at 856-227-7800 and we can restore your property to preloss condition.

SERVPRO Can Remove Odors From Your Fire Damaged Home

12/3/2019 (Permalink)

Getting Odors Caused By Fire Damage Under Control In Your Blackwood/Gloucester Township Residence.

Most disasters that harm a house also create odor-causing particles to form. When your Blackwood/Gloucester Township home becomes inundated with these particles, sharp and unpleasant odors begin to get more pronounced.

Once your home in Blackwood/Gloucester Township sustains fire damage, the smell of smoke and soot can linger. These odors only slightly improve when the air becomes less moist or when the temperature decreases, but never truly disappears. Structural mitigation and restoration does very little, and sometimes nothing at all, to alleviate an odor problem that can make your family miserable.

Heavy odors like the ones that come from soot particles left behind by burning plastics and other synthetics can make food taste bad, your clothing smell, and even cause health effects in some individuals. SERVPRO's Odor Control Technician (OCT) can eliminate the odors ruining your enjoyment of your home.

As we carry out fire damage mitigation, we eliminate most of the smoke residue. Some areas remain inaccessible, and these are all over your home's interior. If your ventilation system was running during the fire (heating, cooling, bathroom or kitchen exhaust), soot could have found its way inside and into adjacent areas. Hollow areas behind cabinets, above ceilings, and inside walls hide continually disintegrating soot particles.

Our OCT uses a technique to get to these particles wherever they might hide. Instead of removing them manually, thermal fogging eliminates their ability to return to your home's air. The forced mist spreads out in the same way the smoke did, and while still hot, its components chemically bond with any loose soot particles encountered. The added weight makes it impossible for the soot to get lifted back into the air currents that travel through your home, keeping your family and guests from smelling them again.

Other areas that might hold onto odors include carpeting. While soot can remain trapped here and thermal fogging might not reach all of the residue hiding in the backing and pad underneath, we can still treat the area with potent and long-lasting liquid deodorizers. We can inject these directly into the absorbent padding. Other areas that continue to harbor odor sources often respond well to hidden gel packs, of which we have several different scents. These also last a significant amount of time.

We always discuss the needs of our customers, and adequate control of odors related to smoke and soot is no different. Our experts want to make sure you're completely satisfied with our services.

Call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800 to make sure that every aspect of your home's fire damage mitigation, including the elimination of odors, is handled professionally and by skilled specialists.

Grout and Caulking Damage in Old Shower.

11/19/2019 (Permalink)

Image shows old cracking caulk on and old shower enclosure. Don't let your caulk get to this point!

As your tiled shower ages, it is important to keep your caulking and grout in good repair. Water and mold damage is caused by deteriorating or missing caulking and grout which causes water to seep underneath the surface damaging your shower walls over time. Between 1965 and 1990 drywall was used behind tile and when it gets wet it expands and swells causing the grout to crack. In recent years they have started using cement board that do not swell when moist and can be treated with a waterproofing. This makes your shower less likely to have major water issues, but it is still important to check your caulking and grout regularly, making repairs immediately to prevent a costly project. SERVPRO was contacted for a water damage in this home. After examining the area and performing a moisture check, it was discovered that the walls were wet due to damaged and missing grout. Our professionally trained production crew removed all the damaged tile and drywall in this shower and the remaining structure was cleaned and treated for mold.

If you think you have a moisture problem in your shower contact SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800.

Even the highest-quality items can show soiling over time. Protect your investment by calling SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to clean and maintain your commercial carpets.

Preventative Maintenance

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet. IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions include:

Regular vacuuming

Spot removal

Moving furniture to change traffic patterns

Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Professional Cleaning

Professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your commercial carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township Professionals will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment and Professionals trained to the highest standards, call us today.

Hurricane Dorian- Be Safe if You Are in the Path

9/3/2019 (Permalink)

hurricane satellite view from the international space station Be safe if a hurricane is headed your way.

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. They are among the most destructive forces in nature. Hurricane season runs from June through November, peaking in early to mid-September. But hurricanes can happen any time.

Our thoughts go out to those in the path of Hurricane Dorian, a potential Category 4 storm headed for Florida. Unlike tornadoes and earthquakes, hurricanes can be forecast several days ahead of landfall, giving residents time to take precautions. For those in the path of a hurricane:

• Board up windows and secure loose items like patio furniture.

• Know where to go in the event of an evacuation and how to get there; establish an assembly point for family members to meet if separated, and choose one person everyone can contact with their whereabouts and status.

• Take shelter in a sturdy building; avoid isolated sheds or other small structures, open areas, hilltops, the beach or boats.

• If you are driving in heavy rain, try to safely exit the road, stay in the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers

• Never drive into flooded areas; if flood waters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground

• Contact your local emergency management agency for information

• Avoid contact with electrical equipment, cords, metal and water.

• Listen for warning sirens, stay away from windows and exterior doors, and seek shelter in a bathroom or basement.

•Stay indoors until authorities tell you it's safe to go outside.

• Hurricanes can cause massive flooding Learn about safe cleanup from local authorities, or visit www.cdc.gov

• Get daily hurricane updates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Outdoor Fire Safety

6/21/2019 (Permalink)

We all love sitting outside in the summer and enjoying an outdoor fire.

When you are building a fire pit:

Make sure it's downwind of your camp site or any backyard items.

Clear out a 10 foot radius of space around your pit.

Make sure there isn't any tree limbs hanging down as well.

Check local weather conditions and be sure you are in the safe zone.( Dry, windy weather for example can be a bad time to have an outdoor fire.)

When you have finished enjoying the fire make sure it's out. (Even if the embers are gray it doesn't mean it's safe.)

Pour water on the fire and then stir it with a shovel to test for any hot spots

Enjoy the lazy days of summer, roasting marshmallows and being with friends, but don’t be lazy about outdoor fire safety. Enjoy your summer!

Dryer Vent Cleaning

5/17/2019 (Permalink)

Multi-unit dryer vent cleaning.

We wash and dry our clothes on a regular basis, but do we stop and think about the dryer vents? Most of us keep the lint trap inside our dryer clean, unaware that there is another fire risk that is not so easy to check. About 80% of structural fires are caused by dirty or clogged dryer vents. Your vents should be cleaned at least once a year by a professional.

Warning signs that your dryer vents need to be cleaned are:

• Clothes are taking much longer than normal to dry. It will often take two or three cycles to dry them.

• Clothes have a strange, burning smell to them. This could be a sign that your dryer vent isn’t properly able to ventilate the warm air out of the appliance.

•The laundry room feels excessively hot when the dryer is running. Again, this could be a result of a clogged vent that isn’t letting hot air escape.

Problems caused by a clogged dryer vent:

• Fires. The lint from your clothes can build up inside the dryer vent. This material is highly flammable and can cause a fire.

• Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. When the dryer vent is clogged, dangerous CO gases aren’t able to escape. Instead, they build up inside the vent and may seep out into the laundry room and into other areas of the home.

• Wear and tear on the dryer. When it takes two or three cycles to get your clothes dried, this puts a lot of strain on your dryer. It can lead to excessive wear and tear on the unit.

• Skyrocketing utility bills. A dryer that is running more often than it should to dry clothes will use a lot of energy. This will be reflected on your monthly utility bills.

If your dryer ever starts smoking, turn it off. Do not open the dryer door. Call 911.

To help prevent any dryer vent problems, call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township every year to have them cleaned. (856)227-7800

Help Prevent Mold Growth

Mold in Gloucester Township sun room.

Molds needs moisture, you're most likely to see mold in damp places such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, and crawl spaces. Molds can also grow on your walls, floors, appliances, carpet, or furniture – they can all provide the food mold needs to grow.

It's impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores in your home, but because mold spores can't grow without moisture, reducing moisture in your home is the best way to prevent or eliminate mold growth. If there is already mold growing in your Blackwood or Gloucester Township home, it's important to fix the problem causing the dampness, and then have the professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township come remove or remediate the mold. If you clean up the mold but don't fix the problem, the mold will most likely return.

Here is some advice for reducing moisture throughout the home with specific tips for the areas most prone to dampness and mold growth:

Around the house:

• Use dehumidifiers and air conditioners.

• Keep air conditioning drip pans clean.

• Add insulation to cold surfaces, such as exterior walls, floors, and windows to reduce condensation.

• Dry wet areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.

• Open doors between rooms to increase circulation.

In the kitchen:

• Use exhaust fans to move moisture outside.

• Check for leaks around the kitchen sink, refrigerator ice makers, and other sources of water.

• Empty and clean refrigerator drip pans if necessary.

In basements and crawl spaces:

• Put a plastic cover over dirt in crawl spaces.

• Be sure crawl spaces are well ventilated.

• Consider painting concrete floors and using area rugs instead of wall-to-wall carpet in basements.

• Make sure gutters are working properly and that outdoor landscaping causes water to run away from -- not toward -- the house.

In the laundry room:

• Vent your clothes dryer to the outside.

• Make sure the vent is clear of obstructions.

In bathrooms:

• Use exhaust fans to remove moisture to the outside

• Check for leaks around basins and tubs and have them repaired if necessary.

• Open a window when showering.

• Avoid leaving damp towels on the floor or in laundry hamper.

In small amounts, mold spores are usually harmless, but when they land on a damp spot in your home, they can start to grow. If you suspect a mold problem in your home or business, call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township for a free estimate. 856-227-7800. Don’t let a mold situation get out of hand. We are Here To Help.

Meter Use in Water Mitigation

5/13/2019 (Permalink)

These are the two primary types of moisture measurement.

Mold presents a serious health hazard. Mold can destroy building materials by extracting carbon-containing substances and using them as food. All organic matter can serve as a food source for mold: wood, wood-based products, plastics made from petroleum products, and building materials such as concrete and drywall. Mold grows on wet surfaces, in high relative humidity at moderate temperatures and gets its nourishment from the material on which it grows. To avoid mold, we can only control the wetness of the materials and the high humidity in the air. The only variables in the mold equation we can control are moisture and humidity. We usually do that by keeping buildings dry.

Disasters happen: a pipe breaks, a roof leaks, or floods occur, we need to act swiftly and remove the excess water before mold builds up. SERVPRO uses moisture meters and thermo-hygrometers to determine the extent of water damage, and later to check the drying progress, then last to confirm all excess water has been removed.

What is a meter?

Meters are defined as devices that provide a quantified representation of the amount of moisture present in material, either as moisture content or a moisture level. There are two primary types of moisture measurement used in the restoration industry: pin and non-invasive.

Non-invasive moisture measurement.

This method is good for completing a rapid initial investigation of the affected area and quickly allows the ability to map out excessive moisture in the property. This is a good search for moisture measurement that may not be available to measure with a pin type meter. This type has drawbacks and is generally not as accurate as a pin type meter.

Pin type meters.

Pin type resistance measurement is generally a more reliable method of moisture measurement in a wide range of building materials. It allows operators to add accessories such as deep wall probes and hammer electrodes, allowing diagnosis of moisture at different levels. Their built-in pins measure electrical resistance between the pins, which is affected by the moisture content in the material. The readings from this meter is used throughout the drying process.

Thermo-Hygrometers.

Thermo-Hygrometers measure the output of the dehumidifiers. Measuring the humidity in the air both on the input and output of the dehumidifier in grains per pound allows us to calculate the drying rate as well as adjust the number of dehumidifiers on the job.

Moisture meters and thermo-hygrometers are necessary for water damaged surfaces. Knowing when the property is ready to be worked or finished often determines a project’s success or failure. You can trust SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to professionally assess and dry your water damaged property.

Smoke Damage in Your Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. Home

5/6/2019 (Permalink)

What is smoke damage restoration?

Restoring a home after a fire requires a lot of work. One of the most involved parts of recovery is smoke damage restoration. Smoke damage restoration is an integral part of the process. Not only does it make the home presentable, but it removes harmful carcinogens and restores structural integrity. It is best to seek help from the Professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township when dealing with smoke damage.

While most don't realize it, there are multiple types of smoke. Our professionals can easily identify the types of smoke present and how to remove damage from a variety of materials. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is equipped for the job. They have the knowledge and tools to effectively remove smoke damage, regardless of the size and scope of the damage. We will be able to get the job done effectively. To get a better understanding about the process and how we can help, there are a few things homeowners need to know.

Assessing The Damage

Before any restoration work is completed, a fire damage assessment must be performed. This is an important part of the process. It helps determine the costs involved and the best way to approach the project. To get a proper assessment, homeowners should contact SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township and their insurance company. They look at the extent of the damage and calculate a cost based on how much work needs to be done. The final cost should cover cleaning the smoke, repairing structural damage, and restoring the home back to what it used to be.

The Restoration Process

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township must begin working fast. While a fire may be put out, damage continues to occur well afterwards. One of the biggest problems faced immediately after a fire is mold and mildew growth. Due to the presence of water and heat, the home instantly becomes a breeding ground for fungi. Within 24 hours, harmful mold will begin to grow. It is important to halt this process as soon as possible. To stop this growth process, we will place dehumidifiers throughout the home. The dehumidifiers absorb water in the air, ultimately bringing the humidity level down and stopping growth.

Since a home has a number of different surfaces, they must use the appropriate cleaner to do the job effectively. These cleaners remove soot and smoke to reveal a clean surface. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township also uses deodorizers to remove the pungent smell that is left behind. If not cleaned properly, a home can wreak of smoke well after a fire. With deodorizers, the smell is removed. Throughout the entire process, workers will salvage as much as they can. Everything else will need to be repaired or replaced.

Smoke damage restoration isn't an easy task and should be left to the professionals at SERVPRO. We use heavy-duty equipment to get the job done, ensuring that the restoration job is thorough. With the help of SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township, homeowners can recover and return to their normal lives. We help make it “Like it never even happened."

How To Manage Mold

4/19/2019 (Permalink)

Water damage not attended to lead to this mold growth.

Molds are found in every environment, and mold spores reproduce rapidly when moisture is present. Molds have a potential for health concerns and this is one important reason to prevent moisture problems that lead to mold growth. Possible health effects include runny nose, sneezing, couching, aggravation of asthma, sore throat or sinus problems.

Intrusion of water into your home or place of business can result in mold growth. Water intrusions can result from storm damage, plumbing or equipment failures, long-standing leaks, and poor humidity control. When water intrusions are not addressed right away, the resulting damage can present increased risk of harmful mold growth. If the humidity and moisture levels in a water-damaged environment are not promptly returned to normal, mold spores may grow and multiply.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township Professionals handle water damage every day and know prompt action is required to prevent mold growth. If you are experiencing an ongoing moisture problem in you home or office be alert for:

• The presence of visible mold.

• Strong musty odors.

• Any evidence of past moisture problems.

• Excessive humidity.

These conditions may require the expertise of the Professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to inspect the building for mold growth and/or water damage problems. Contact us to protect your health and your property.

Managing Sewer Damage

Sewer damages does not have to be a nightmare.

Cleaning up areas of your home after flooding and sewer damage is awful no matter what, but cleaning up the bathroom can be especially tedious. If you ever face a sewage backup in your bathroom, there are a few things that are helpful to know to speed proper cleanup and ensure a safe and sanitary home in Blackwood/Gloucester Township.

Call for Help

If you suspect you have damaged sewer lines, call your sewage company to schedule an inspection. To protect your home from future mold or rot issues after a toilet overflow, call the experts at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township. Only with the help of professional water removal specialists can you rest assured that floodwater has not crept into places you can’t see to wreak havoc.

Dry the Area

Though you may be tempted to sanitize your bathroom immediately after a toilet overflows, you should not do so before you start drying out the affected area. Whether you are dealing with a flooded toilet or an entire flooded basement, the first thing you should do is utilize heavy duty vacuums, drainage systems and fans to remove all the water.

Sanitize

After drying the area, sanitize it as best you can. Floodwater resulting from sewer damage can be toxic, so be thorough in your cleaning processes. Once the area is dry from the first round of sanitizer, you should plan to disinfect it one more time.

Dehumidify

The presence of excess water in a bathroom often welcomes lingering humidity, which only encourages mold growth in spaces affected by sewer water. During the process of drying, sanitizing and restoring, you should be sure that a dehumidifier is always running.

Cleaning up the aftermath of sewer damage doesn’t have to be a nightmare. By getting ahead start on the problem and calling in the professionals, you can have your home clean and dry again in no time.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township offers the resources locally and on a national level to rehabilitate even a complex commercial water damage scenario.

Our services for you and your tenants can also include a pack out and detailed inventory of documents soaked by the water. We follow up with our state of the art procedures for saving and drying paperwork, books, pictures and other crucial work products you and your lessees may have feared would be lost due to the water infiltration.

Be Prepared with a Storm Emergency Checklist

Storms can cause damage fast and require you and your family to seek shelter or leave your home. It is important to be prepared if this happens. Having an emergency plan as well as an emergency kit can help. Be prepared for storm damage by keeping necessary items centrally located in your home. Take the time to ensure that everyone in your family is aware of the "kit." Periodically check your kit to see that batteries operate properly. The following is a list of items that are suggested to keep on hand:

• Water (one gallon per person per day)

• Food (non-perishable 3-day supply)

• Manual can opener

•Battery operated radio, preferably a NOAA Weather Radio

• Flashlight and extra batteries

• First aid kit Whistle to signal for help

• Dust masks

• Plastic sheeting, garbage bags and duct tape

• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities

•Important documents (copies of insurance policies, identification & bank account information)

• Cash Fire extinguisher

• Matches in a waterproof container

Commercial Carpet Cleaning

4/1/2019 (Permalink)

Apartment carpet cleaning between tenants.

Large carpeted areas in commercial buildings can be difficult to keep up with. Hi traffic areas get dirty fast. Apartments, Senior living facilities, child day care centers, churches, schools and general office buildings could all benefit from a good SERVPRO carpet cleaning.

Having your carpets and rugs cleaned makes for a nice appearance for your customers. The dust, dirt, and other debris that finds its way into the carpet fibers can eventually get into the air where it can cause odors and even respiratory infections. So therefore having your carpets and rugs professional cleaned improves the air quality of the office/building.

Rented carpet cleaning machines are not always effective as they are used over and over by many different people and clean with harsh chemicals that leave an unpleasant smell and a residue in the carpet that attracts even more dirt and debris.

It is always better to hire professionals like SERVPRO for that reason alone. SERVPRO offers a low-moisture method of cleaning as well as a dry carpet cleaning (an absorbent compound is worked into the carpet with a counter rotary brush). Our technicians are trained in spot and stain removal for various types of carpets and are an IICRC® Certified Firm. 

The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look really dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township offers free quotes for carpet cleaning. We can come out, measure, give you a quote. We have a very flexible schedule and can usually get you scheduled the week you call. Call us at 856-227-7800 for a quote.

The Purpose of a Flood Cut

3/15/2019 (Permalink)

Flood cuts are done to stop spread of contamination and prevent mold damage.

After a storm rages in Blackwood/Gloucester Township, it is likely that your home will experience a bit of flooding. When this happens, you will probably hear the water remediation technicians you hire talk about making a flood cut. A flood cut is a mark that is made 12 inches above the spot where the water damage stops. SERVPRO Professionals tear out everything below the flood cut to stop the spread of contamination and prevent mold growth. Here are some common questions about this process.

What Circumstances Require a Flood Cut?

Any time there is damage that cannot be dried with a fan, professionals are probably going to use a flood cut to be on the safe side. Insulation cannot be dried, so if there is wet insulation, the wall has to be cut out and the insulation removed. If the water is contaminated by storm-related debris or sewage, the wall must be discarded. If tests show any harmful microbes, the affected area must go.

Why Does the Flood Cut Have To Be a Foot Above the Damage?

Water damage from flooding does not like to stay politely in its place. What technicians can see with the naked eye may only be the beginning of the story. Placing the flood cut 12 inches above the visible water damage ensures that everything affected is remediated.

Is There Any Way To Save the Wall?

If the water damage is minimal and no insulation is affected, it is possible that quick removal of water and fast drying techniques can allow the wall to be salvaged. The water in question must also be clean. If it is contaminated at all, the wall has to be replaced.

Flooding in Blackwood/Gloucester Township areas may cause damage to your home. Our SERVPRO Professionals will do everything they can to avoid removing walls, a flood cut may be required to make sure your home is completely restored.

If you have suffered water damage from a storm, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is Here To Help. Call us at 856-227-7800. We are available 24/7 for water damage.

Mold Remediation in Gloucester Twp., N.J.

Gloucester Township Mold Remediation: Day 1 and Day 5

Local homeowner in Gloucester Township noticed the water bill being excessively high in her vacant property. When the homeowner went to the property, the basement was flooded and visible mold was everywhere. A pipe split and went unnoticed for some time. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township was called to do the job. Once the basement was emptied of it’s contents, the remediation process could begin. Some of the walls were cut 2’ high and others had to be cut 4’ high or even removed due to the rapid spread of mold growth. Several dehumidifiers were placed to control the humidity in the air. The area was then treated with what we call a “Hepa Sandwich” which is, Hepa Vac all studs, wipe all studs and a second pass with the Hepa Vac. Air movers were placed on the final day to ensure the structure was completely dry.

Testimony from our customer:

“After a pipe split in my house and the entire basement flooded, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township was there. Wayne came in and not only helped professionally but knew exactly what to say to calm me down. Within a few days I went from completely overwhelmed to a sense of calm knowing and watching the crew do what they do best. Their work is incredible. Thank You”

Black/Flood Water: What's in it?

3/11/2019 (Permalink)

Know the dangers of "Black Water"

Contaminated Flood Waters Contain Pathogens and Dangerous Debris

When SERVPRO responds to a case of flood damage due to a storm, one of the most frequent questions our technicians get is, "What is black water?" Black water is heavily contaminated water which is not only unsafe to drink but can also be hazardous simply to be around. It can be difficult to judge conditions in black water due to its typical gray, brown, or black coloration, with small particles often hiding potentially far greater hazards lying within.

Here are a few things that can be found in a typical sample of black flood water.

Dirt and Soil: Typically, most of the coloration in black water comes from dirt and soil trapped within. Many cases of flood damage result from heavy storms and rain, and these floodwaters more often than not pick up significant amounts of soil before they ever reach a home. Although this dirt may sound harmless, it, in reality, makes the water much heavier and more difficult to navigate if you get caught in it.

Microorganisms in Black Water: Although the amount and type of organisms in flood can vary depending on its causes and specifics, almost all samples of black water contain very high levels of microorganisms. These may be parasites, bacteria, viruses, mold, or many other types of organism, and they may be able to cause health effects if ingested or absorbed through the skin. This is why it is never advised to drink flood waters and to seek medical attention immediately if you have.

Sharp Metal and Glass: It can be very difficult to see sharp objects in a mass of floodwater, but even if you feel you are confident that such materials are not in the water, it is best always to assume they are. Sharp materials, even if they are tiny, often constitute one of the water's greatest risks. If they open up a small cut or wound, this spot may go unnoticed by you but later on can possibly develop a bad infection. If you have been cut or had black water touch an open wound, immediately disinfect the wound and apply medical aid as needed.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township deals with flood damage so that you don't have to. If your home has been caught in a flood, call us at (856) 227-7800 for mitigation and restoration services.

Plant Mold and Mildew: What To Do.

3/10/2019 (Permalink)

Mold in the home requires restoration professionals like SERVPRO. However, your house plants or gardens can get affected with mold and mildew as well. Over-watering, lack of sunlight or poor air circulation can make your plants susceptible. Plant mildew and mold may look unsightly, eliminating them is usually less challenging than you might think.

Moldy Leaves

Mold can infiltrate your plant’s leaves. To remedy the situation, follow these steps:

• Take the affected plant outside

• Remove mold with a wet paper towel, taking caution to avoid contaminating other areas of the plant

• Cut off moldy leaves that you cannot easily wipe down

• Spray remaining leaves with a fungicide.

• Return the plant to a sunlit area with adequate air circulation.

Moldy Soil

Moist soil is also a potential breeding ground for mold. To alleviate the problem, scoop off any soil surface mold. If mold growth is abundant, you may need to replant with fresh potting soil. To avoid recontamination, allow new soil to dry before re-watering the plant.

Moldy Growth

Plant mildew often appears as a white, powdery substance on the surface of leaves. To eliminate this fungus, follow these three steps: • Wipe contaminated leaves and stems with a paper towel to remove some of the mildew

• Cut off lower infected leaves to reduce the risk of additional mildew growth

• Spray plant with a fungicide, allowing the solution to run off the leaves To avoid damaging the plant, wait a week to reapply the treatment if the initial spray did not kill all of the mildew.

Reducing excessive moisture is a key prevention strategy for houseplants and your home in general. But if a burst pipe or flood causes significant water damage, don’t hesitate to contact SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to help mitigate the risk of mold growth inside your home.

After a Fire

3/8/2019 (Permalink)

Kitchen Fire that affected the entire house.

If you experience a fire in your Blackwood or Gloucester Township home or office, you get everyone out and let the fire department put it out. Fire is a danger to you and your family. Unfortunately, the dangers of fires continue long after the fire is out.

There are health risks involved with fires. Plastics, for one, can lead to a variety of health risks. When synthetic materials burn, they release toxic fumes in the air and should be removed from the house. Even a small kitchen fire is likely to burn things like plastic cups, milk jugs, and so on. Every plastic item that burns means your health is that much more at risk.

If you have an older home, one that was built somewhere between the 1950s and the 1980s, there is a risk for asbestos that was used in many buildings during that time. This can put your family at risk for serious respiratory issues as well as cancer. These reasons are why you should call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township for fire restoration immediately.

The risk can spread all throughout your home or office through the air conditioning system. This is because the particles of smoke and soot are so small that traditional HVAC filters cannot capture them. So when your air conditioning runs, it is actually circulating these toxic substances to every room in the home or office, meaning that a small fire may soon threaten your entire home or office.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/GloucesterTownship has trained professionals to make your home or office safe after a fire. We thoroughly inspect your home and remove any dangerous substances that may be circulating. Professional restoration is necessary when you experience a fire.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is here to help make it “Like it never even happened."

Mold Testing: When to Have It Done

3/5/2019 (Permalink)

If you see mold have it remediated by SERVPRO Professionals.

When should you spend money on mold testing?

First things first- If you see visible mold—you usually do NOT need a mold inspection or mold testing. If you already see it, then you need to simply have it removed following industry standards. You may wonder, Don’t you need to know what kind of mold it is so you can determine if it is toxic? Knowing what type of mold is irrelevant at this point, a mold professional, like SERVPRO, needs to get rid of the mold. Mold Remediation Principles are followed to remove mold regardless of the color, species, etc.

Mold testing can be useful in certain circumstances, though.

• When visible mold is not present, but the smell of mold is. Here a mold inspection and mold test can reveal whether there is indeed elevated mold, and where it is located.

• There have been plumbing leaks or water issues and there is a suspicion that elevated mold may exist in the air and/or behind walls.

• Post Mold Removal Clearance Testing to ensure that the previous mold issues has been resolved and mold counts have returned to levels found in normal environments of the same type.

•Health Concerns: In some cases a doctor or the patient has a health issue that they cannot pinpoint the cause but seems to be related to mold symptoms (coughing, sneezing, headaches, etc). Here, a mold inspection and test may help to confirm whether the doctor’s or patient’s suspicions that a mold problem exists.

• For real estate transactions for the protection of Buyers and Sellers.

• Landlord/Tenant disputes as to whether there is a mold problem.

• Someone thinks they see or smell mold but are not sure.

• Someone is interested in a general Indoor Air Quality test of their environment.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township offers professional mold spore testings. Our technician comes out and samples indoor and outdoor air quality. We then send the samples to a lab to be tested and interpreted. A full report is issued within three to five days. There is a fee for the testing.

If you would like more information on mold testing or mold remediation please call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800.

How to Save on Your Water Bill

3/1/2019 (Permalink)

Save water, Save money

How to Keep Your Water Bill Low

A significant number of buildings that get mold growth in Blackwood and Gloucester Township get it as a result of water leakage. We can tell that the water bills have gone up in addition to mold problems. There are many other areas where water gets lost or is wasted. You can lower your water bills by dealing with these areas. Here are some tips.

Wash full loads with your laundry machine and dishwasher

A partial load uses as much water as a full load. However, you will be required to wash more often. With a full load, you conserve water by washing less often.

Use a low flow shower head and water efficient toilet

A low flow shower-head can cut your water usage by almost half while at the same time offering a similar experience. Water-efficient toilets can reduce the consumption of water by over 40 percent.

Repair leaking faucets.

Our SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township team encountered a few homes which were damaged by leaking faucets and blocked drainage. Water filled the sinks and drained to the flow. Leaking faucets can cause water damage in addition to wasting water. Do not ignore that drop that is falling every few seconds; it might be making up for up to 10 percent of your water bill.

Harvest rainwater.

Attach rain barrels to the eaves-trough downspout to harvest rainwater. You can irrigate your kitchen garden and the lawn or wash your car and other outdoor equipment with the water and not pay a dime for it.

Water your lawn in the evening or early morning.

Water your lawn before the sun comes up. This way, you will not be losing the water to evaporation. Moreover, do not over water your lawn. Use a time to set the length of the period that you will water the lawn depending on the soil dryness.

Turn off water when not using it while doing tasks like brushing, shaving or cleaning items.

Do not leave the water running when you are actually not using it as you complete the tasks such as brushing your teeth, shaving, or other such tasks. Shut the water off and then on when you need to use it.

At SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township, we believe that you can cut your water bills by almost 40 percent by following the above water conservation best practices.

Floods Can Leave Unpleasant Odors Behind. Here’s What To Do...

3/1/2019 (Permalink)

Photo is a flood that happened while the house was vacant, the flood water sat for two weeks

The main culprit in the unpleasant odors that floods leave behind is mold, which creates musty odors that permeate your property. If the floodwater results in sewage loss within your home ’s septic system, the smells will be even worse. The best way to remove these odors is to hire a professional water damage remediation company like SERVPRO. Here’s what you can expect during the process.

Dry the Flooded Area

Any standing water will need to be extracted first. For the remaining dampness, SERVPRO professionals will bring in heavy-duty floor fans (air movers) to promote air circulation to aid in the drying process. Dehumidifiers can also help with removing moisture from the air.

Take Note of Lingering Odors

As part of the water damage restoration process, professionals will remove items too badly damaged from mold growth to remedy. This can include panels of drywall or flooring. You need to pay attention after the crew leaves because certain smells may remain. If the smell continues you should contact SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to schedule an inspection of your property for visible signs of mold.

Enhance Overall Air Quality

Indoor air quality is critical to people’s well being. You should replace furnace and air filters once every three months. You may also want to acquire a high-efficiency particulate air filter to remove substances that have entered the air through floodwater. Mold growth can lead to serious health complications, so if you smell something, act fast. Always allow a professional company to address any odors first before handling it yourself, because the wrong step could exacerbate the underlying problem.

If you have water damage and/or odors from a flood, contact SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800

The Risk of Commercial Mold Damage Increases, when businesses have walk-in patrons or use water in their establishment's daily activities

2/26/2019 (Permalink)

Commercial Mold Damage In Blackwood/Gloucester Township Establishments is More Common Than What You Might Think

Mold only needs a few environmental factors to grow out of control. Mold is everywhere. However, mold usually grows very slowly, keeping it manageable and either easily cleaned away or hidden in locations that are rarely seen and hold all the three needed items for overgrowth simultaneously even more rarely.

When Blackwood/Gloucester Township businesses have walk-in patrons or use water in their establishment's daily activities, the risk of commercial mold damage increases. When a business has both factors, the risk increases even more dramatically. Patrons often bring in not only two things that mold needs to grow – moisture and cellulose, but also the mold itself. Cooking pasta, steaming seafood, and washing dishes with high-powered sprayers can all increase the level of moisture in the kitchen area. Contrary to what many people believe, combating mold growth does not mean that the air must be uncomfortably dry. The moisture needed for mold to grow is the same moisture that makes the air comfortable to breathe. As people breathe in, the air in their lungs picks up moisture, and this moisture is also expelled when they breathe out. While this might be a small amount of moisture, it is felt on a personal basis. Drier air is noticeable because of the larger contrast between two different environments – moisture vs. drier.

When an area, such as a kitchen or bathroom area, is more humid than other sectors, like the dining or waiting areas are, a dehumidifier can decrease the amount of humidity that can linger in the air, without making the air uncomfortable to breathe. Other ventilation methods, including intake vents and ceiling fans, can help keep moisture from settling on surfaces. Having none of these measures can lead to mold damage throughout a restaurant.

SERVPRO technicians have extensive experience and training to remediate mold disasters of any size. Proper remediation requires more than cleaning surfaces. Even cutting away and replacing materials heavily infested or destroyed by a mold infestation is not enough in most situations.

Mold remediation, when conducted by SERVPRO, always includes preventative techniques. These methods include cleaning or removal of anything affected by mold, but also include setting up HEPA-filter devices to clean the air of escaping mold particles and spores while we work. To continue filtering the air to help reduce the number of particulates, including mold-related ones, floating in the air, we can install an air filter that you can easily maintain. Along with air-filtration, we use sprays that encapsulate any mold found. As this sprayed-on liquid dries, it shrinks, crushing mold, spores, and any exposed hyphae. Hyphae are the root-like parts of mold that feed off materials and provide an anchor to the material – this is the part of the mold that leaves a stain behind when mold is cleaned away.

Situations involving commercial mold damage need the attention that the professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township are accustomed to providing. Call (856) 227-7800 and we can help you get any mold situation under control.

Commercial Sewage Loss in Lindenwold, NJ.

2/18/2019 (Permalink)

13 Offices affected in sewage loss.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township was called to clean up a sewage loss at an office building in Lindenwold, NJ on a Monday morning. Over the weekend there was a sewage back up which affected 13 offices in the two story Lindenwold office complex. A sewage loss is considered a category three water loss, which means the water is contaminated. Category three water is known as "black water" and is grossly unsanitary. This water contains unsanitary agents, harmful bacteria and fungi, causing severe discomfort or sickness. Everything that has any water on it must be disposed of. After our crew extracted the water and removed the contaminated items, all of the walls were all cut 2’ high. Dehumidifiers and air movers were placed throughout the building. The dehumidifier reduces and regulates the humidity in the air. The air movers work like big fans to dry the affected areas. Sewage losses cause a foul odor in the air. Air scrubbers were used to pull this odor from the air. Finally, we used an “Air Shark” which releases a lemon fresh scent to the cleaned air. This job took a week to complete and our customers were satisfied and ready for the rebuild.

No one wants a sewage loss to happen, but if it does, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is on call 24/7 to help clean it up. We will help get your business back to preloss condition as quickly as we can.

Grease Fire: What To Do

2/13/2019 (Permalink)

This photo shows a grease fire simulation. Be Safe In The Kitchen.

A grease fire happens when your cooking oil becomes too hot. When heating, oils first start to boil, then they'll start smoking, and then they'll catch on fire. Most vegetable oils have a smoking point around 450°F, while animal fats like lard or goose fat will start smoking around 375°F.

If the worst happens and your oil does catch on fire, do the following:

• Turn the Heat Off - Don't try to move the pot. You might accidentally splash yourself or your kitchen with burning oil. And that would be bad.

• Cover the Pot with a Metal Lid - Fire cannot exist in the absence of oxygen. With the lid on (and the heat off), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter.

• Pour on Baking Soda - Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they're small. It takes a lot of baking soda to do the job.

• Spray the Pot with a Class B Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher - This is your last resort, as fire extinguishers will contaminate your kitchen. Still, it's better than the alternative if the fire is getting out of control.

• Get Out and Call 911 - If the fire does break out of control, don't try to be a hero. Get out and find a phone to call 911.

Whatever you do, DO NOT do the following:

• Do Not Use Water - Pouring water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire. The vaporizing water can also carry grease particles in it, also spreading the fire.

• Do Not Move the Pot or Carry It Outside - Throwing the pot outside might seem logical in the frenzy of the moment. But trying to move the pot might splash burning oil on you, your home, and anything outside.

• Do Not Throw Any Other Baking Product On the Fire - Flour might look like baking soda, but it won't react the same. Only baking soda can help put out a grease fire.

Now that we're clear on all of that, hopefully you'll never be in a situation where you have to actually use this advice. Be safe, fellow cooks! Be safe, and make sure you also pass this news on to teenagers who might be cooking as well. In case you are in need of fire restoration services, we are always on call to help you.

A Little Water Can Cause A Lot of Damage

2/13/2019 (Permalink)

Damage caused by a small sprinkler leak in the attic.

It doesn’t take a lot of water to cause tremendous damage. Just an inch or two or leak in the ceiling can destroy carpets and dry wall, warp wood floors and /or damage building components.

Water damage can be caused by many things:

Sump pumps
Water heater failures
Broken pipes
Sprinkler systems
Washing machine
Dishwasher leaks
Ice maker problems
Flooding due to heavy rain
Ground water seeping into the basement
Natural disasters

Even after the water seems to disappear, excess moisture can hide in your floor coverings, foundation, wood structures and walls—causing major damage to your property and creating the perfect environment for mold and other fungi growth.

That's Where the SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township comes in. If you catch it in time, you can ward off a lot of the damage and save money and headaches down the road. It’s important that water is quickly removed and the property dried, ventilated and disinfected to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew and other microorganisms that are harmful.

If you need SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township, we will be there. (856)227-7800. 24 Hour Emergency service.

Protect Your Home From Winter Storms

1/8/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is Here To Help with storm damage.

Winter storms can be beautiful to look at and play in, but they also can cause damage to your home. Here are some tips to help protect your home from the costly damage winter storms can bring.

Take Care of Your Roof.

• Keep your gutters clear. This keeps ice from accumulating and backing up under the shingles.

• Trim trees year-round. This helps keep branches from falling on your house.  

Prevent Ice Dams

• Eliminate heat sources under the roof, such as lights and heaters in the attic, that can contribute to thawing.

 • Keep the attic cool and ventilated to stop or slow the refreezing cycle.

• Consult a roofing professional to remove snow or standing water before an ice dam can form.

• Avoid trying to chip any ice dams off your roof, as you could damage the roof. Ask a roof specialist for help instead.

Prevent Water Damage

• Ventilate the attic and insulate the attic floor to stop warm air in the house from melting snow and ice on the roof.

• Wrap exposed pipes with insulation sleeves or 2 inches of Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed heat tape.

• Caulk cracks and holes in the home's outer walls and foundation. Holes left by cable installation can also leave pipes exposed.

• Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to let warm air circulate around pipes.

• Trickle water from faucets connected to pipes that run through unheated or unprotected spaces.

• Locate the home's main water valve — typically in the basement or outside near the curb — so you can turn water off quickly if a pipe does burst.

• If you leave the house unoccupied for an extended period, shut off the water and have a professional drain the system. Turn the heat down, but don't turn it off.

Checking for proper drainage.

Install or Check Sump Pumps.

Sump pump are very effective for keeping rainwater out of your house. Have a professional check your sump pump to insure it is working properly once a year.

Check sealant inside and outside foundation.

Make sure the tar sealant covering the inner and outer sides of the foundation are intact.

Water Damage in your Blackwood Home

12/28/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. has the Answer for Property Owners Faced with Water Damage. Water damage is one of the risks a homeowners face when they buy a home. Indoor plumbing will likely fail at some point, and when it does, it makes for a wet mess. The experienced professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. can help you restore your home to a clean, dry condition. Rapid water extraction, after the source has been eliminated, and then moisture removal to reach standard household levels will mitigate the dangers of contaminated water and mold growth. One of the first things that need to be determined when you have flooding caused by a plumbing failure is whether the water is clean, gray or black. These classifications indicate where the water is coming from and what sort of contaminants it may contain. Water damage occurs in many forms.

Clean Water refers to water that is piped into your home. It has not yet been used for any household purpose, so it is clear and free of any hazardous substances. Drinking water. This water may be leaking from a burst pipe in the walls; it can also be the result of a failed pressure valve on your water heater tank, which allows the water to flood out. There is a large list of possible reasons for an unwanted water intrusion.

Gray Water is more damaging. This is water that has flowed in sinks, showers, washing machines and all other plumbing including toilets tanks. Gray water does not contain harmful pathogens, but it does hold food waste, chemical products, and absorbed particulates from the surroundings that can harbor bacteria. Some soaps and other personal care products also contain ingredients that can be toxic if ingested.

Black water is the most dangerous. It includes overflow water from a toilet, backed up septic tanks or sewer lines, and degraded gray water. This water contains hazardous bacteria that are linked with raw sewage. If you detect black water flooding, keep yourself and your family out of contact with the water. If you must enter the flooded area, you should wear rubber gloves, safety goggles, and protect your feet with rubber boots or plastic bags.

Call the professionals from SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. Whenever your household plumbing fails, no matter what the source of the water is, we can help.

Prepare Your Blackwood Property for the Cold Weather

11/30/2018 (Permalink)

It is always better to Be Prepared!

Cold weather can have a huge impact on your home or business if you are not properly prepared. Whether it is heavy rain, freezing temperatures, damaging winds, sleet or snow, all can cause serious and costly property damage. While you cannot control the weather,  you can take steps to be prepared and help take the sting out of winter weather.

To help prevent costly damages due to weather, consider taking the following precautions to protect your property before colder weather hits.

Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches.Weather, such as wind, heavy rain, ice and snow, can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries.
Roofs, water pipes and gutters should all be inspected to ensure they are in proper order. Gutter downspouts should be directed away from your building. Clear gutters of debris that may have gathered during the fall. Leaves and other obstructions can lead to a damming effect, that can lead to roof damage and interior water problems.
Inspect the property. Especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.
Protect water pipes from freezing by simply allowing water to drip when temperatures dip below freezing. If pipes are under a cabinet, leave the cabinet doors open allowing warm inside air to circulate around the pipes. If the building has outdoor faucets, consider shutting water off at the main valve in the basement or crawl space. Once the valve is off, open the outdoor faucet to ensure it drains, preventing any remaining water from freezing in the pipe.
Ask your local SERVPRO® Professionals about completing an Emergency READY Profile® (ERP) for your business. The ERP is a no cost assessment to your facility, and provides you with a plan to get back in business fast following a disaster.

Safety Tips For Deep Frying A Turkey

11/28/2018 (Permalink)

Enjoy Your Turkey This Thanksgiving!

When it comes to deep frying turkey, you want to take every precaution to keep your family and your home safe.

Fried turkeys are delicious, but they come with a lot of safety issues. Thousands of fires as well as many deaths and injuries happen each year due to turkey fryer fires. Before you set up your turkey fryer this Thanksgiving, remember these safety tips.

Stay Away from The House – Set up the turkey fryer more than 10 feet away from your home and keep children and pets away. Never leave it unattended.

Find Flat Ground – The oil must be even and steady at all times to ensure safety. Place the fryer on a flat, level surface and carefully gauge the amount of oil needed.

Use a Thawed and Dry Turkey – Make sure your Thanksgiving turkey is completely thawed and dry. Extra water will cause the oil to bubble furiously and spill over. If oil spills from the fryer onto the burner, it can cause a fire.

Monitor the Temp – Use caution when touching the turkey fryer. The lid and handle can become very hot and could cause burns. Also be sure to keep track of the oil’s temperature as many fryers do not have their own thermostats.

Be Prepared – Have a fire extinguisher (multipurpose, dry-powder) ready at all times in the event that the oil ignites.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township specializes in the cleanup and restoration of residential and commercial property after a fire, smoke or water damage event. We have the experience and training to make your home safe and livable again. Call us at 856-227-7800.

SERVPRO Cleans Up and Restores Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. Properties Affected by Smoke and Fire

11/15/2018 (Permalink)

Big or Small, Fire is a serious matter.

In your Blackwood/Gloucester Township home, a fire is a serious matter. Even a fire which is small and non-devastating can have consequences which are overwhelming. Some of these might not be apparent right away to the average person, which is why you need a professional company such as SERVPRO to help you clean up after a fire.
Listed below are some possible affects from a fire:
Structural Damage
The structure of your Blackwood home can be damaged by a fire. You need to be cautious when entering your home after a fire because of this damage. It is not reasonable to determine that all the floor supports are intact on your own. Therefore, an inspector needs to check your property for damage to the structure before you go back into it. When the damage is severe, you may have to board up the property for liability and safety reasons. Our SERVPRO technicians can also help you do this.
Smoke Residue and Odor
Most smoke particles are just 0.004 microns wide, which means they can work their way into all the nooks and crannies, from carpet to furniture, wallboard, and even insulation. Cleaning up smoke residue and odor becomes increasingly difficult depending on the volume of smoke, but also on the type of smoke which are present during the fire. Some materials which are natural, such as paper and wood, leave gray or black, ashy residues which are easier to clean up. Some inorganic materials, like synthetic fabrics and plastics, leave a smeary residue which is difficult and risky to clean up. SERVPRO can get rid of all residue and odors with special equipment, detergents, and deodorizers.
Water Damage
Most fires also lead to water damage. When firefighters try to put the fire out, they douse your home with water, which soaks everything which was involved in or close to the fire. If you do not act right away to dry out your walls, carpeting, and furniture after the fire, there is a high chance that mold and mildew growth begins in addition to the fire damage. Building materials degrade rapidly after being exposed to pressurized water.
 
Our SERVPRO Professionals are trained to handle this type of damage. We can dry out your home while doing the other cleanup work, as well as, clean up any mold damage and check for hidden mold.
 

Check out our Fire Damage Emergency Tips here.


Call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township right away after a fire. (856)227-7800. We will guide you through the whole restoration process to get your home back to its normal condition.

Don’t Use Bleach to Kill Mold!

10/4/2018 (Permalink)

If you suspect mold, Call SERVPRO. Don't use bleach.

Using chlorine bleach to kill mold is probably one of the worst things you can do.

As a matter of fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), stopped recommending the use of bleach for dealing with mold problems. And, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated their guide as well, removing the suggestion to use bleach to kill mold.

The problem is, it’s true that bleach can kill some mold in some places some of the time.  But, bleach only works to remove mold on hard, impermeable surfaces like bathtub and shower surrounds or tiles. However, on porous surfaces like drywall or hardwood floors, it won’t work to kill mold or keep it from coming back.
Mold spreads its roots deep into porous surfaces.
Simply spraying a bleach solution on the surface won’t kill mold spores at their roots.

Here are some reasons Why you should NOT to Use Bleach to Kill Mold

•   Bleach encourages toxic mold growth on     porous surfaces because it provides excess moisture.
•   Bleach only removes the color from mold.
•   Chlorine bleach is extremely harmful to surfaces.
•   Bleach is extremely corrosive.

You don’t want to use bleach to kill mold because there are many antimicrobial alternatives readily available. The Professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. have the knowledge and equipment to safely remove mold from your home or business.  We care about the proper restoration of your structure.

If you think you have a mold problem, call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. to protect your health and property. (856)227-7800.

Hurricane Florence Cleanup and Restoration

Loading equipment to go to North Carolina.

Here to Help® and Ready to Respond

Hurricane Florence made landfall causing significant flooding and wind destruction in North and South Carolina. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township has joined the Storm Team in North Carolina and is ready to respond. Our team of storm damage specialists are on the scene, mitigating flood water, reducing severity of water damage. SERVPRO has a national network of over 1,700 Franchises across the country and designated Disaster Recovery Teams ready to mobilize if more resources are needed.

Overview

Hurricane Florence made landfall as a category 1 hurricane on Friday, September 14 with significant flooding to the Carolinas. Despite making landfall as a weakened Category 1 hurricane, Florence still had enough wind speed to uproot trees and cause widespread power outages throughout the Carolinas. Coupled with a large storm surge, this caused widespread flooding along a long stretch of the North Carolina coast. Most major roads and highways in the area experienced some flooding, with large stretches of I-40, I-95, and US Route 70 remaining impassable for days after the storm had passed.

MOLD in your Coffee Pot?

9/14/2018 (Permalink)

Keep your coffee pot clean and free of mold.

Your clean you wipe and wash your kitchen, keep your dishes done run hot water through your coffee machine from time to time. Could there be mold in my coffee? A study done by National Science Foundation (NSF) found that the largest concentration of germs is located ( no not the bathroom) but in the kitchen. Guess what the top 10 dirtiest items are Kitchen sponges, Kitchen Sink, Toothbrush Holder, Pet Bowl, COFFEE RESERVOIR, Faucet Handles, Pet toys, Counter tops, Stove knobs, and Cutting boards..
  

   A pets bowl is cleaner than  your coffee reservoir? Inside half these reservoirs they found mold and yeast. A staggering 10% have been exposed to Coliform Bacteria.

How is that even possible?
    

     I run hot water through my machine to make the coffee.  I also thought coffee had antibacterial properties to it.  Should those two things be enough to keep the bacteria and mold at bay? Nope not even close for water to work it needs to be boiling NO coffee maker gets water to reach its boiling point. You would sue them for getting burned all the time. The acid in coffee only works on about half of the germs that are found in the pot and filter. If anything the warm moist environment makes it the perfect breeding ground for the bacteria and mold.

    Our bodies are great at adapting. We build up a resistance to these germs that are ingested in small amounts over the course of time. When ingesting a potentially harmful organism  our body does have the ability to filter out some of the infected particles. This is not ideal because the germs too adapt and can slip by your immune system eventually and make you sick.

How to clean your Coffee Maker:

    The frequency is commensurate with how often you use your machine. If you use it for a pot per day I would suggest a through cleaning once a week. If you have a machine that gets more use like a communal one at work a few times a week would be advised. All parts of the coffee machine that can be removed should be for effective cleaning. This includes but is not limited to carafe if there is one, the basket that houses the filter and coffee itself, any parts of the machine that can be removed easily. Make sure you use hot soapy water to eliminate germs, stains, and residue oils left over from making the coffee. Once this is done make sure everything is fully dry before you put your machine all back together.

    Your water no matter how hot or soapy will leave behind elements that can encourage growth because there are minerals in the water. This will have to be removed. Because you drink from this machine it is suggested that you leave the chemicals behind and settle for some natural products. The suggestion is using a vinegar based solution at a minimum of once a month. This will d-calcify the machine and produce a better cup of coffee.

      Here the suggested way to get that done. Fill the water reservoir with half water and half vinegar… Pretend you are going to brew a pot of coffee and put the filter in where you normally would. **DO NOT PUT COFFEE IN IT** Brew this until almost half of the water has emptied into the pot turn off the machine. Walk away and leave everything for about a half an hour. Turn the machine back on and finish the brewing process. Once this is done remove the filter and just run some plain water through the machine. I would advise doing this two times to make sure the vinegar is fully out of the machine. Then do one more rinse of the hot soapy water that is being done once a week. This will ensure the bacteria and mold are not able to grow and make you sick.

   The machine is clean and there is no more mold in your coffee. This should allow you to enjoy that cup of coffee the way it was meant to be enjoyed worry free……. Happy sipping

   You may not need SERVPRO® for your coffee pot, But, if you find any signs of mold in your home or office, CALL US 856-227-7800.

SERVPRO Quickly Responds to Water Damage in Local Department Store.

9/12/2018 (Permalink)

Local Commercial Water Damage.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township responded to an after hours call at a local department store. Heavy rains caused the roof and drain pipe to leak into the store. Two floors of this three story department store were affected.  Our crew quickly responded and worked till early hours in the morning. We worked closely with the store manager to ensure that their product was handled with care.
Our first task in this commercial building is to remove any standing water before starting another process. In this situation, team members also start drying shelves, storage racks, and other units by hand as we bring down the water level. We do this, so we have a clean, dry area to store undamaged inventory.
SERVPRO technicians next established air movement and lower humidity to begin drying inventory and property as soon as possible. We started this with a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers. Air movers push the moisture out of the building materials and the dehumidifiers create hot, dry air and pull the moisture out of the air.
 We can direct the airflow of these devices over inventory and structural property to carefully dry them out without causing additional damage.
Our drying process took three days and business was only slightly affected during our process.

Thunderstorm Basics.

9/6/2018 (Permalink)

Thunderstorm Time!

Did you know that across the globe, there are over 1800 thunderstorms a day?  Although it can be nice to listen to a thunderstorm with a cup of coffee, they can also be very dangerous.  Lightning injures more people each year than tornadoes or hurricanes.  Lightning can also cause damage to house wiring.

So what causes a thunderstorm?  They form when an air mass becomes unstable and overturns.  Unstable means that the bottom layer is hot and humid, the top layer is cool, or both. Air pockets near the surface rises, expands, and cools, This makes the air pockets get warmer than the environment, which makes it rise even higher.  Water vapor in the air condenses and forms a convective cloud.  Bingo! Thunderstorm time!

Importance of Duct Cleanings

8/28/2018 (Permalink)

Ducts Get Dirty

Pollutants like dust, pet hair and mold spores can travel throughout your home or business through your air duct system hindering the quality of the air you breath. While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.

SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Township uses a portable system of whips and brushes to thoroughly clean and deodorize your ducts. We place the HVAC system under negative air pressure to ensure that all the pollutants are removed and captured through a hepa filter. A clean duct system improves the indoor air quality and reduces allergens and odors from spreading through your home or business.

The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:

• Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
• May help to eliminate offensive odors.
• Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.

Restore vs. Replace

8/24/2018 (Permalink)

When disaster strikes, SERVPRO® works to restore vs. replace.

At SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp., our goal on every water, fire, or mold damage job is to save more and replace less. When assessing damage in a home or business, our team will determine what can be salvaged or cleaned, such as contents, furniture, & structural materials. Our team will then perform pre-testing to determine what the best method of cleaning will be.  

The major advantage to restore vs. replace is cost. In almost any situation, restore saves a tremendous amount of money compared to replacement.  One area where we can generate huge savings in a water loss situation is drying of hardwood floors instead of replacing them. Even after incurring the cost of air movers, dehumidifiers and even specialize equipment usually there is a 45%-75% cost savings over replacement. Another common example would be the drying of carpet and/or drywall.  Again using air movers and dehumidifiers and following the science of drying we can often save 75%-90% over replacement cost. You can imagine how quickly these savings add up.

Another advantage of restore versus replace is time savings and business interruption savings. Drying a structure usually takes an average of three to five days. After our drying is completed, your customer should be back in their house or business right away. Back, as we like to say, “Like it never even happened”. If you look at the alternative which is replace, your customer will have to wait weeks or even months to get back into their home or business while construction is going on.  This leads to expensive hotel bills for residential customers or catastrophic business interruption costs for commercial customers. Either way you are talking a great deal of money, time and inconvenience!

For these reasons we at SERVPRO® of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. look to restore whenever we can and whenever it makes sense.  We accomplish this by not only using our extensive training, knowledge and resources but also by responding immediately so that the impact of the water or fire damage is reduced. We also help you mitigate your damages before they even happen with our Emergency Ready Profile (ERP).  This program prepares you for the loss before it even occurs. If you or your customers do not have an ERP yet, you need one! Set up an appointment right away.         It’s free!

All of the equipment works together to both dry the structural materials (blowers), remove the moisture from the air as the wet materials dry and the water from them turns to vapor (dehumidifiers), and clean the air to prevent allergens that permeate through the air during drying (air scrubbers).

Many homeowners feel that if the water is removed, the work of water damage cleanup is done. This is because it is difficult to see or feel the extent of the saturation of water in building materials without moisture detection equipment used at SERVPRO. While water removal is an important part in the water damage, the drying part is what makes your home safe from long term mold or building material damage. There is no time to waste when it comes to drying a water damaged home. Mold begins to start growing within 24 hours and continues “growing like a weed” damaging building materials as it spreads. SERVPRO professionals are trained and certified in the water removal and drying process and will make it ”Like it never even happened.”

Preventing Pet Odors

7/27/2018 (Permalink)

Love your pets, not the odor.

Having pets is a part of life. Having pet odor doesn't have to be. If you love having pets, but can't stand the lingering odors they create, then there are a few things you can do to help eliminate those unwanted odors.

Your carpet can be a big source of lingering odors. Dirt, pet dander, urine, and fecal matter can remain deep inside carpet fibers. Carpet powder only helps deodorize and clean the surface but does little to get in deep. Using a carpet cleaner is more effective but only if you know how to use it correctly. The experts at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township know how to deep clean your carpet to get rid of any unwanted odors. Their equipment and expert knowledge on carpet cleaning will get the job done right the first time and provide lasting results.

Odors can also linger within the air duct system of your home too. Cleaning the air ducts is a task that should only be left to the experts. SERVPRO has the right equipment to clean out your air ducts and eliminate those lingering odors. You'll notice the difference the first time you use your HVAC.

Pet odors can also linger within the walls and baseboards of your home. Pet urine can be absorbed by the wooden baseboards or absorbed into the gypsum material of your drywall. Priming and painting may not be enough. SERVPRO has the necessary chemicals to clean and deodorize your walls and baseboards.

Choosing SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township to help with your home's deodorization is the smart choice. Having a pet doesn't mean you have to live with lingering odors. The expert knowledge and equipment of SERVPRO can eliminate all of your home's odors and make it seem like you never had pets at all.

Regardless of the cause, it is important to proceed with caution in a flooded home. In particular, be careful if you have wet electrical appliances in your home.  

Most likely there will be appliances and electrical devices such as TV.'s and computers plugged in to electrical outlets in the wet areas of your home. Although it might be tempting to go in and "save" your laptop, keep your distance. You could suffer electric shock from water that you may not see in the appliance or outlet. Short circuiting electrical items also pose a fire hazard. We recommend that you go to your breaker and turn off the electricity to the affected areas, even if the area appears to be dry.  

Our experienced team have handled water damaged appliances and other electrical devices. Our office staff work with your insurance agency to determine which items can be restored and which need to be replaced. Call us at 856-227-7800 if you have water damage in your Blackwood or Gloucester Township home. Our SERVPRO professionals know which steps to take and when to take them.  Bringing your home from disaster to "Like it never even happened.”

How to Inspect a Fire Extinguisher.

5/9/2018 (Permalink)

Ideally, you should inspect your portable home fire extinguisher every month.

When was the last time you took time to check the fire extinguisher that sits under your kitchen sink? Or the one hanging from a dusty hook in your garage? If you’re struggling to remember, it’s time to check it. Like any other piece of safety equipment, a home fire extinguisher should be inspected regularly to ensure it’s in proper working condition. A fire extinguisher in good working condition is your first line of defense when a home fire erupts.
Ideally, you should inspect your portable home fire extinguishers every month.

Tips for Performing a Monthly Fire Extinguisher Check

Check the label or tag.
Every fire extinguisher, whether disposable or rechargeable, has a manufacturer’s label or tag. Read the tag and follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance suggestions.

Check the tamper seal.
If the tamper seal has been broken or is cracked, a disposable fire extinguisher needs to be replaced. If it’s rechargeable, it needs to be serviced professionally. Check the locking or pull pin as well to make sure it’s in the correct position. If the pin missing, the fire extinguisher needs to be inspected or serviced by a professional.

Inspect for physical damage.
Physically inspect the fire extinguisher for obvious damage. This may include but is not limited to dents, corrosion, cracks and obvious leakage. If a fire extinguisher has leakage, it’s no longer under full pressure and may not work properly when you need it most. Check the fire extinguisher nozzle as well, to ensure it’s not clogged by grime, dust, bugs or leakage from the unit itself.

Check the pressure gauge.
Check that the pressure gauge needle indicates the fire extinguisher pressure is in the optimum operating range. Often the correct pressure range will be designated by green on the gauge.

Is the fire extinguisher full?
During your monthly check, lift the fire extinguisher and determine if it still feels full. If there has been a leak, it will feel light, and it won’t have the right amount of pressure to work correctly.

Shake it.
If you have a dry chemical fire extinguisher, it should be shaken once a month during your inspection. This helps prevent the chemical dousing agent from solidifying at the bottom of the unit.

Write inspection date on tag.
Keep track of every inspection date by writing it on the fire extinguisher tag.

Ensure easy access to your fire extinguisher.
Fire extinguishers should always be easy to access if there is an emergency. You don’t want to have to search for it once a fire breaks out. Don’t block fire extinguishers with furniture, boxes or any other items. Everyone who lives in the household should know where the closest fire extinguisher is located and how to use it in case of an emergency.

In the event of a fire emergency, first make sure to get people safely away, then call 911. A home fire extinguisher can be used to put out or control small fires, but it’s still safest to call professional fire fighters before you attempt to control a fire on your own.

Mold Remediation--Trust An Experienced Company

4/11/2018 (Permalink)

Mold Damage–Call SERVPRO Blackwood/Gloucester Twp.

SERVPRO Can Safely Remediate Mold Damage in Your Blackwood Home.

Mold remediation for mold damage in Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. includes identifying and addressing issues of mold in a structure. Mold remediation stops the spread of mold by isolating the areas which are damaged, taking out the affected material and stopping the sources of moisture so that a healthy environment can be reestablished.

What Mold Remediation Involves
When you hire a professional like SERVPRO for mold remediation, it will involve cleaning up the mold and removing it so that the health risks and damage can be assessed. Cleaning with water and bleach won’t kill mold. Material which is moldy has to be disposed of, and the area which is damaged has to be reconstructed. This is why mold remediation should be handled by a trained professional so handle the hazardous materials and stop the spread of mold to other areas of your home. Expert mold remediation includes:

Assessment – experts will visit your home to find the areas with mold, plus figure out what the source of the problem is. They will then go over a plan for mold remediation.


Containment – The source of the problem will be addressed and the area which is affected closed off to stop contamination from spreading through the rest of your home from the mold spores being stirred up during the process of removal.


Filtration – the spores of mold and other particles from the air can be cleaned by using HEPA filters. The specialist will wear protective masks and goggles to lessen their exposure to airborne contaminants.


Removal - personal belongings and building materials in your home can be affected by the mold. Since it is an organism that is living and deeply ingrains itself to survive, anything that is porous should be discarded. The most efficient and safest way to make sure mold does not return is to get rid of contaminated materials. Antimicrobial cleaning products can be used to disinfect nonporous materials, and sealants can also be used to make the treated areas resistant to mold and water damage. You might need to have your air conditioning, and heating systems cleaned professionally as well. This will help to reduce the number of mold spores existing in the duct work.

Drying – it is crucial that the repaired and cleaned items be kept completely dry. Excessive moisture, remember, is where the issue started. Because of this, our mold remediation specialist will probably go over moisture management strategies with you to make sure your home won’t encounter problems in the future.
Repair – the process of reconstruction will start after all the materials that were contaminated with mold are removed. Mold-free, clean materials will be the replacements for materials that were previously contaminated. This action is only required under severe fungi infestations.

Testing – After remediation, the company will look for any recurrent water damage signs, visible mold or moldy odors to make sure that cleanup was successful.

If you think you might have mold damage, don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. The health of your family needs to be protected, so call (856) 227-7800 so your home can be evaluated for mold right away.

How to Stop Faulty Sump Pumps Causing Flood Damage in Gloucester Twp. Restaurants

4/10/2018 (Permalink)

Don't let a clogged or faulty sump pump close your eating establishment.

SERVPRO Deals with Faulty Sump Pumps in Four Steps.

There is a reason why busy cafes and restaurants are at a higher risk of flooding than some other businesses. In this type of building, good drainage is essential. Huge amounts of water are needed every day – for cooking and cleaning – and they have to be disposed of quickly.

It is why many restaurants have a fast moving, below-floor drainage system, with a float activated sump pump. It gets periodically drained, once the water rises above a certain level. Problems occur when cooking oils and organic waste make it into the drain. They clog up the channels, which commonly leads to commercial flood damage in Blackwood and Gloucester Township restaurants.

Keep reading to find out how the experts at SERVPRO deal with faulty sump pumps and flooded restaurants in the local area.

Step One: Inspect the Pump

The first step is to inspect the pump and identify the problem. If it is just a blockage, the process is quick, and the original pump can likely be used to extract the standing water.

If there seems to be a fault with the pump, SERVPRO has a portable extractor which can be used to remove the excess liquid. Once the water is no longer a problem, we can arrange for a sump pump repair.

Step Two: Start the Drying Process

Dehumidification is very effective, but it extracts water at a slower rate than other methods. It is why our technicians use as many accelerated techniques as possible before they bring in the dehumidifiers.

The good news is that restaurant drains are typically very shallow. They may cover the whole of the kitchen, but they do not extend very deep. The repair team can place air scrubbers (two in this case) inside the drain cavity to continue the extraction.

Step Three: Bring in the Dehumidifier

The importance of speed is not a safety issue, as the water is likely to be Category 1 or 2. However, as long as the drain is out of operation, the restaurant is dysfunctional and unable to perform at the required level. So, we have to get the area dried out quickly.

The best solution is a small capacity dehumidifier. It gets placed inside the drain cavity. For a small to medium sized restaurant, we would likely use a machine which extracts around 150 pints of moisture per day.

Step Four: Clean the Drain

It is not always necessary, but if there is a possibility of mold, SERVPRO treats the walls of the drain with an anti-fungal agent. In a restaurant, the risk of mold growth is slightly higher, because bits of organic waste inevitably end up in the water.

Normally, an air scrubber or deodorizer is needed if there is evidence of developing mold and unpleasant smells. If you notify our team of the problem quickly, this should not happen. It is only after 48 hours that Category 1 and 2 water sources start to stagnate and fill with bacteria and other nasty substances.

If your restaurant is struggling with drainage or flooding problems, you need help from the experts. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. provides reliable, professional flood damage repairs. Call us 24/7 at (856) 227-7800.

Soot and Smoke Removal

4/4/2018 (Permalink)

What Do I Do?

For people who’ve experienced a fire in their home, the initial cleanup of soot and water can be only the beginning. On top of the devastation of possibly losing irreplaceable personal items and memorabilia, the process of getting the home back in living order can be filled with difficulties.

Restoring the home requires professionals who are experienced in dealing with fires and restoration of the property. The national association that certifies companies’ expertise in fire cleanup is the IICRC, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification. IICRC-certified companies must meet a rigorous list of standards in business ethics and expertise.

IICRC, working with the manufacturers of carpet, upholstery and fabric, works to establish the standards on how these items can be restored, whether from fire or water damage. When it comes to cleaning, restoring and inspecting that items are safe to be replaced in the home, the IICRC writes the books, so their certification of a local company offers homeowners the reassurance that the fire restoration work will be done correctly.

Our SERVPRO professionals are IICRC-certified, and our technicians receive ongoing training in the IICRC best practices. We also understand the need for immediate response, working with your insurance agent to document the loss and items that are able to be restored versus those that are a total loss.

If you ever experience a fire and need a restoration company, SERVPRO meets these standards:

   • Proof of proper insurances and licenses
   • Formal and recent training in specialized fire restoration work
   • IICRC Certification

For restoration of your home and its contents after a fire, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. is the company to call. We take pride in keeping our customers informed about their restoration work, and in upholding the standards of our IICRC certification.

Quarantine Methods used by SERVPRO

4/4/2018 (Permalink)

In some mold cases, quarantine and containment measures could be used in parts of your home.

SERVPRO Quarantine Methods Used When Dealing with Mold Damage

Depending on the extent and severity of your mold damage, SERVPRO may deem it necessary to put in containment and quarantine measures in parts of your home. These can range in size from a few feet to entire sections of the home but are always designed to contain mold to its current extent and prevent further contamination throughout the home. If the mold is limited, you may not need to worry about containment at all. However, if our inspector does deem the situation worthy of quarantine measures, these are some of the preventative steps you can expect us to take.

Sealed HVAC Systems

One of the most often implemented containment measures is the sealing off vents and air ducts throughout the building. Mold damage in homes can spread quickly through heating and air conditioning lines, especially if the source colony is located near a vent. Sealing off HVAC systems may make temperatures a bit uncomfortable in the home, but it is worth it if the mold can be successfully contained.

Plastic Sheeting

We may put up plastic sheets and barriers across moldy surfaces to keep its spores from becoming too much of a problem. These air-tight barriers are effective at both denying the mold moisture and preventing its spores from reaching other parts of the home, and so are used widely and in both small and large mold remediation projects.

Establishing Clean Rooms and Decontamination Rooms

In some cases, we may need to erect or adapt small areas within the home for decontamination and cleaning of supplies and clothing. Whenever someone - be it SERVPRO staff or the homeowner - leaves or enters the moldy area, they have to go through this special area and make sure that no mold spores can leave the quarantined zone. This stops mold spores from hitching a ride on you and your belongings as you move between rooms.

If you think you have mold, call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. (856)227-7800.

Our trained professionals will make it
"Like it never even happened."

Heavy Rainfall And Flood Damage In Your Home

4/2/2018 (Permalink)

Just minutes after heavy rainfall, flash floods can come rushing through where you live

Heavy Rainfall And Flood Damage

Just minutes after heavy rainfall, flash floods can come rushing through where you live in Sicklerville. These kinds of floods are very dangerous, not just because of the volume and speed of the water, but due to the fact that the water contains rocks and other debris. These floods are fast rising and can invade your home just as quickly.

Flood damage in your Sicklerville home is overwhelming and can be quite devastating. When floodwaters have invaded your home, you need professional help to get your home clean and dry again. SERVPRO is standing by to help you with the professional training and equipment that is needed to do the job right.

In a flood situation, we are not finished once the water is out and your home is dry again. We must also clean your structure. Things like the subflooring and walls could need cleaning. We clean any materials which are restorable with the appropriate method.

For carpeting, SERVPRO staff clean and deodorize these areas. We choose a cleaning method that is right for the level of soiling. Different carpet cleaning methods are utilized depending on the condition and type of the carpet.

Most of the time, we have a list of items which need to be cleaned. All contents exposed to water or high humidity have to be evaluated for cleaning needs. Some wood furniture might need cleaning and polishing from exposure to high humidity. We check all clothing, closets, and storage areas for contents needing cleaning and deodorizing. We also look for damage from high humidity and condensation on photographs and wall hangings. Your electronics may need special drying and cleaning services to restore them. Pool tables, pianos, clocks, and other items which are sensitive could also require specialized attention.

After restoration is complete, we finalize the job by ensuring you are satisfied. We check moisture levels one last time to ensure everything is dry and complete a walk-through with you. If there are any problems, we fix them and then remove all our equipment and supplies. Maintain relationships and communicating throughout the entire process is a huge factor in how smoothly the job is completed and how happy you are.

SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township prides ourselves on how we take care of our customers and their homes in Blackwood, Glendora, or Washington Township. Get in touch with us when your home has suffered flood damage by calling (856) 227-7800.

The Importance of Hood Vent Cleanings.

3/27/2018 (Permalink)

Hood vent cleaning in Blackwood.

You don’t have to own a restaurant to have a commercial kitchen. After all, hospitals, churches, hotels, schools and senior centers all have kitchens that can feed a large number of people. Regardless of how large or small the kitchen is, or what volume of food it churns out every month, people in the building could be in danger if something goes wrong.

When commercial kitchen vent hoods are clean:

The risk of fire is reduced. The purpose of a vent hood is to trap as much grease, smoke and grime as possible. That’s why it’s located directly above the cooking surface. Over time, the hood accumulates a sticky layer of grease. If heated to a high enough temperature, this grease could ignite. Grease fires are incredibly dangerous and burn very hot, so any step you can take to reduce this risk is worth taking.
Dangerous particle emissions are also reduced. The grimier a kitchen vent hood becomes, the less efficient it is at trapping grease, smoke and other grime. Particles not trapped in the vent hood are free to escape into the air inside the building. This causes a potential health risk to your kitchen staff and other people in the building.
Your company will stay in compliance with local fire safety codes. If a local fire official makes a surprise visit to your commercial kitchen, he could fine you or shut down the establishment if he discovers the kitchen hood is not clean and well maintained. This isn’t something you ever want to deal with!
It will lower insurance costs. Insurance companies require commercial kitchens to comply with all fire safety codes. If you’re found in violation of any codes, you could lose coverage or watch helplessly as your premiums skyrocket.

It is strongly recommended that you hire a SERVPRO professional for the job. SERVPRO professionals will get the job done efficiently and thoroughly.

Storm Damage: What to do and What not to do.

3/26/2018 (Permalink)

Your knowledge is power.

Storm damage can be a rather difficult thing to deal with in your Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. home. Leave the complexities to our SERVPRO professionals, and use these helpful do's and don'ts while you wait for us to arrive on scene. These handy tips can keep you from unknowingly furthering any damage to your property.

DO:
    • Wait for the "all clear" before worrying about minimizing your storm damage. Your safety should be prioritized above property safety.
     • Avoid entering a flooded area, unless the electricity is turned off.
     • Try to remove as much excess water as possible with wet-dry vacuums, mops, and towels you don't mind potentially ruining (if the water is contaminated).
     • Prop up wet upholstery and pillow cushions for proper drying after you remove them from the affected area.

DON'T:
     • Don't use your household vacuum to remove water. Your standard vacuum does not double as a shop vac.
     • Don't leave wet fabrics in place to sit and mildew. Be sure to dry any wet items as soon as you can!
     • Don't leave books magazines, or other colored items on wet carpet or floors. If left on wet surfaces, the ink can bleed and permanently stain surfaces.
     • Don't use any household appliances or electronics while standing on wet surfaces.

Any damage to your home or business can seem daunting. If you have a few do's or don'ts in the back of your mind when a loss occurs, you will feel more in control. We will worry about the rest for you.

Cleaning Up After A Flood

A Description of Typical House Flood Damages and Cleanup Requirements:

When your house floods, the water can wreak havoc on the structure of the house, your personal belongings, and the health of the inside environment. Flood waters contain many contaminants and lots of mud. High dollar items can get ruined all at once, even with just an inch of water, for example: carpeting, wallboard, appliances, and furniture. A more severe storm or deeper flood may add damage to even more expensive systems, like: ducts, the heater and air conditioner, roofing, private sewage and well systems, utilities, and the foundation.

   • First call your insurance agent, they will let   you know if you are covered or not.
   • When we come out to your home or place of business, we start by extracting water, then clean out any mud or debris.
   • After, we clean and disinfect every single surface, and remove any walls that may have gotten wet to help with drying out the area.

The Proper Steps to Take When You Find Mold at Home

3/22/2018 (Permalink)

Mold in your Blackwood home.

Mold forms all the time in homes, even when people don’t believe it’s a problem that could happen to them. There’s a misconception that mold damage only occurs in bathrooms and basements, and people who live where humidity and moisture levels are low don’t have a risk of mold damage. This might mean a lesser risk of mildew, fungus, and mold damage occurring, but it’s still a possibility. It’s possible for anyone in any location to find mold in the home or even commercial mold damage at work. It makes it important for everyone to learn the basics involved mold and the damage it causes.

Mold in the home is not uncommon, and it always requires proper remediation. It can be found in bathrooms and basements, but it’s not limited to only appearing in those rooms. Some homeowners find mold in the home in bedrooms if the condition is right. Perhaps a leaking pipe in a wall provided enough moisture for fungus and mildew to form mold inside a wall that migrated outside the walls into the bedroom. When you see any mildew or fungus forming at home or work, it could be a sign of mold. Mildew and fungus both grow when the conditions are just right, which is very similar to the condition in which mold grows. It must have a moist area with a high level of humidity. One of the most common signs of mold in the home is the presence of a smelly odor. This smelly odor might have a hint of must to it. Most people who notice a smelly odor do nothing but use a form of deodorization to cover it up. Deodorization makes a home or office smell better, but it does nothing to kill the mold or minimize the problem.

Remediation and mitigation are both required when mold is found at home or work. A professional mold removal company is going to come to the home or office and perform numerous tasks. Remediation and mitigation occur when mold is identified. There are many different forms, which means finding out which one is invading a house or office is imperative. Once the mold is identified, it’s then removed. Mold removal involves getting the mold at the source, blocking off the area in which moisture occurs, and then performing the mitigation process. Professional mold removal is necessary because it’s the only way to get rid of mold at the source.
Anyone who finds mold at home or work should handle the situation accordingly and not attempt to remove it on their own. This only makes things worse, and mold will grow back .

Flood Damage Insurance Policy For Your Gloucester Township Area Home

3/20/2018 (Permalink)

Clogs, leaks, or broken pipes can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home within minutes.

Flood Damage Insurance

You carry auto insurance, life insurance, pet insurance, home insurance, and even pay for appliance warranties, yet you fail to protect your home against costly water line damage or in-home plumbing emergencies.

Pipes in the attic of your Gloucester Township area home can cause flood damage that you might not recover from easily. Clogs, leaks, or broken pipes, release hundreds of gallons of water into your home within minutes. Whether the leak is large or small, over time, it can affect unprotected building materials, insulation, and the structural stability of your home.

Do you know how old the water lines in your attic are? The average lifespan of a water pipe in your home is 20-years, with the majority of homes throughout the United States containing water lines older than 47-years. Knowing the age of your pipes can help you assess whether professional assistance from a company like SERVPRO is necessary.

However, having an expertly trained flood damage specialist from SERVPRO perform an inspection never hurts. You may have water lines from your water heater running through your attic that distributes hot water throughout your home. If even one of these lines has a problem, you can find yourself dealing with extensive flood damage. Thinking that you are safe because you purchased a new home can leave you ill-prepared for what might happen as well.

Your ventilation system also poses extreme problems when not maintained properly. The condensation lines or drain pan of your HVAC system receive damage over time, and major malfunctions in the unit can send water spewing everywhere, without warning. All it takes is a single leak to cause excessive damage; it never hurts to make preparations to deal with these types of problems.

You should look at calling SERVPRO like having a flood damage insurance policy that helps protect your home against accidents that might happen. We provide you with valuable information to maintain a safe, healthy home for your family. Giving you an opportunity to catch issues before they become major problems and access to someone who can be there for you should a disaster occur.

Spring Snow

3/20/2018 (Permalink)

Another snow dumping Nor’easter storm is heading our way. This is a messy way to bring in spring. Snow piled up against a house, or a gutter blocked with ice is not a common warning sign for homeowners. However if you have a basement or a crawlspace you are at serious risk for water damage when the temperature rises rapidly after a big storm.
These tips can help you keep melting snow from damaging your home.

Before the warm weather comes –
    •    Keep the perimeter of your house clear of snow and ice. This snow sitting against the foundation will slowly get into the concrete and expand when cold weather comes again. Slowly creating little pathways that may lead to the inside of your house.
    •    Shovel out window wells and vents. Water will find a way into any opening or crack; these are natural spots for a leak to occur. If you have covers over egress windows, clear them off as snow will start to get very heavy as it melts.

When the weather gets warm -
    •    Clear out ice jams in gutters.  When water overflows out of the gutter it can run down the side of your house and into any penetration or seam that isn’t sealed.  Keeping the water in the gutter is a safer bet. If the jam is at the top of the downspout, be sure you can safely reach the gutters to clear them out.
    •    Keep walkways clear of ice. As the snow melts, it will likely move onto areas you have previously cleared off. As it freezes again, it will create a sheet of ice almost as well as a Zamboni machine. You can use a number of tools including salt, sand, de-icer or even just a shovel or ice scraper. Keep in mind salts and de-icers can damage your concrete if left to melt on the surface, and they may contain chemicals that may be harmful to grass, plants, or pets.
    •    Keep a close eye. Be sure you are watching for signs in areas that could be damaged. These signs can include a damp smell, wet carpet, walls that are peeling or bowing, or a dripping sound in exterior walls.

After the weather warms up-
    •    Pay attention to what your house tells you. After the snow has cleared and you are getting ready for spring projects, you can still be at risk for water damage. The freezing and thawing may cause breaks to your water or sprinkler lines. If you have any loss in pressure you should get it looked at.
    •    Look for signs of problems that can be fixed. Water damage can take a while to become visible, so watch for signs that will help you prepare for next winter.

Fire Safety and Why You Should Care!

3/19/2018 (Permalink)

Being prepared will make all the difference.

Though some fires are unavoidable acts of nature or unpredictable accidents, many fires in the home and workplace are avoidable. The following tips, courtesy of the NFPA,(National Fire Protection Association) can help reduce the likelihood of a fire in your business or home.

 Watch your cooking- Stay in the kitchen if you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Never allow young children around the stove or oven, especially if they are not closely attended.


Give space heaters space- Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.


Smoke outside- If you must smoke inside, have a sturdy, deep ashtray. Never smoke in bed.


Keep Matches and lighters out of reach- Keep matches and lighters in high cabinets, preferably under a child lock.


Inspect electrical cords- Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs or have loose connections.


Be careful when using candles- Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow them out before you leave the room or go to sleep.


Have a fire escape plan-Make a fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.


Install smoke alarms- Install alarms on every level of your office or home and inside bedrooms. Interconnect them so they will all sound at once.


Test smoke alarms- Test alarms once per month. Replace batteries once per year as needed.


Install sprinklers- Sprinklers can help maintain and sometimes even extinguish fires, giving your local fire department a better chance at saving your property.

Fire escape planning tips

Below you will find several tips that could potentially save your life or the life of a loved one should a fire break out in your home

• Install a smoke alarm on every level of your     home

• Test smoke alarm batteries every month and change them at least ones a year.
• Consider installing a 10 year lithium battery powered smoke alarm
• Practice finding your way out of the house with your eyes closed, crawling or staying low and feeling your way out of the house.
• Remember escape first, then notify the fire department.

The Truth About Mold

3/19/2018 (Permalink)

Mold is a type of fungus that consists of small organisms found almost everywhere. Mold can be black, white, orange, green, or purple. Mold plays a very important role in nature- it helps break down dead leaves, plants, and trees. We are exposed to mold daily, meaning removing all mold is impossible.

 

In small amounts, mold spores are usually harmless, but when they find a damp spot in your home or business, mold may begin to grow.

 

Mold can spread quickly, in as little as 48 hours. Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home or business through windows, doors, or AC/ heating systems. Mold often produces a strong, musty odor.

 

Mold can cause health effects and can also cause significant damage to your property. If mold is found, SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. has the training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

 

Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be taken care of, or the mold will return.

 

Your property will be carefully inspected for signs of mold using technology designed to detect mold and hidden water sources. The mold remediation process depends on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas in your home or business.

 

Here is a helpful list of specific recommendations to limit your chance of getting mold:

 

• Keep humidity levels as low as you can- no higher than 50%.
• Use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier during humid months.
• Be sure the home has adequate ventilation.
• Add mold inhibitors to paints before application.
• Clean bathrooms with mold killing products.
• Do not carpet bathrooms and basements.
• Remove or replace previously soaked carpets and upholstery.

 Every mold damage is different and requires different solutions. SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. understands mold and mold growth, we are trained mold damage specialist who get started quickly to get your home, “Like it never even happened.”

How SERVPRO Removes Water from Blackwood Stores Faster and More Effectively.

3/17/2018 (Permalink)

Using a mop to clean up water damage can leave behind hidden structural damage.

Rely on professional mitigation for your commercial water damage.

In the aftermath of a water disaster, it can be tempting to try to conduct water removal from your Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. retail store on your own, especially if there is no standing water. Many see the absence of standing water as a sign that a mop and wringer suffice to clean the place up and end up saving a few dollars in the short-term at the expense of considerable structural damage in the long run. Business owners trust SERVPRO not just for our famous customer service and restoration work, but also for our unique ability to properly mitigate and remove water from a commercial location without leaving any extra water behind.

If you attempt water removal in your Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. store on your own, you most likely have no way to avoid leaving behind humidity, surface moisture and soaked in water. Getting these tougher, more ingrained spots of water requires specialized industrial equipment, like the machines carried by SERVPRO. Our array of thermal and chemical dehumidifiers, directed air movers, and industrial cleaning supplies help us to absorb water throughout the building, even in spots no human could normally reach. Furthermore, whether from mold or the water itself, severe water damage also tends to create strong odors in the building. Our advanced fogging deodorizers work to eliminate odors permanently, even those ingrained deep into woods and construction materials.

As part of our mitigation process, our inspectors will also thoroughly examine the establishment to find additional signs of damage or compromised structural integrity. Using thermal imaging technology coupled with critical information on the building, they are typically able to identify serious safety hazards and get treatment to them before larger problems develop. By calling SERVPRO, you ensure that your store gets a full, well-balanced treatment process, with no stone left unturned and no eventuality unplanned for.

What to do Before a Fire Restoration Company Arrives.

3/5/2018 (Permalink)

Fire in home and fire in business are especially devastating. The extensive fire damage can leave a person homeless or a workplace out of business. It may be temporary, but the impact can be overwhelming for a homeowner or a business owner. After fire trucks depart, fire cleanup is necessary. Whether it is fire in home or fire in business, the property will suffer from smoke damage as well. Aside from that, there could also be widespread flooding and water damage due to the firefighting efforts.

Before the Fire Damage Restoration

The next step after the distressing fire damage is to call a restoration company that can provide board up services and more. While waiting, the primary focus of the victims of the fire should be their safety. Here are some things to bear in mind:

It may not be safe to stay in the house or building especially after destructive commercial fire damage.

Electrical wiring as well as slip and fall hazards are typically present after the fire damage.

Wet materials, after firefighters have stopped the fire, can be very heavy. It is not wise to attempt to carry them.

After a fire and before the professionals from the restoration company arrive to give board up services, here are actions that a homeowner or a businessperson can carry out after fire damage:

Soot damage can take place in carpets and upholstery. It is advised to limit movement to prevent the particles from being embedded in the mentioned items.

Make sure that the hands are clean. This not only helps with the fire cleanup, but also avoids further soiling walls, woodwork, and upholstery.

There should be old linens or clean towels on upholstery, carpets, and rugs to reduce smoke smell and even soot damage.

If it is fire in home and electricity is not working, the freezer and the refrigerator should be emptied. Doors should remain open until fire damage restoration professionals get there.

Cleaning and protecting chrome using light coating of oil or petroleum jelly is also advised.

Houseplants should be washed on both sides of the leaves to reduce smoke smell.

It is also time to change HVAC filter whether it is fire in home or fire in business.

Air registers can be taped with double layers of cheesecloth. This can also help reduce smoke smell.

If there are things that can be done before the restoration company arrives, there are also activities that should be avoided. Here they are:

Do not attempt to wash painted surfaces, such as walls. Shampooing carpet and upholstery is also not recommended without the go signal from the professionals of the restoration company.

It is also not advised to attempt to clean electrical appliances, particularly those that may have been exposed to fire or heat or even water. It is best to consult an authorized repairman first especially if soot damage is visible.

Commercial fire damage in stores that sell canned or packaged food and beverages can be upsetting as these items should no longer be used. The same thing should be applied if it is fire in home, particularly if the items have been stored near the areas that have been affected by fire and smoke damage.

If the ceiling is wet, do not turn on ceiling fixtures before fire damage restoration since there could be something wrong with the wiring.

Garments should not be sent to an ordinary dry cleaning service. Improper cleaning may heighten smoke smell.

Fire in business or commercial fire damage, including soot damage and smoke damage, can affect the structure of the building and equipment in the area. The same thing can be said when fire took place at home where board up is often essential. It can destroy the house and the person’s belongings. Fire damage restoration companies understand that furniture, keepsakes, clothing, and other possessions are important to the victims of the fire.

It is important to find fire cleanup pros that specialize in restoring houses and structures and providing board up services for home or commercial fire damage. These pros can help renovate contents of the area that underwent fire, water, mold, and smoke damage. With the aid of professional fire cleanup, homeowners or business people can save money as their possessions are restored instead of replaced.

4 Hidden Dangers of Water Damage

3/5/2018 (Permalink)

Don't let water damage your home. Let the pros at SERVPRO Blackwood/Gloucester Township take care of it!

4 Dangers of Residential Water Damage.

Water damage can result from some different sources, including devastating weather, malfunctioning appliances, leaky roofs, and burst pipes. No matter what the cause, a water emergency is a serious issue that should be handled by a professional immediately.


If you're a homeowner facing water damage it's important that you call a skilled contractor as soon as possible to start the repair and restoration process. The longer that water sits in your home, the more havoc it will wreak on its structure and your possessions. Here are a few dangers caused by water damage that many homeowners don't notice until it's too late.

1. Mold and Mildew

The growth of mold and mildew can ruin your flooring, walls, furniture, and the surfaces of your home, not to mention your clothing, books, and documents. In addition to creating odors that are tough to eliminate, mold can be harmful to the health of your pets and family members. At SERVPRO, we're experts at preventing water damaged homes from developing mold growth.

2. Structural Problems

The weight of water is enough to put stress on your home's foundation, flooring, and walls and cause the need for extensive repairs. We're careful to extract as much moisture as possible when restoring homes with water damage.

3. Electrical Dangers

Water, wiring, and appliances are never a good combination, and water emergencies often cause major appliances to malfunction or pose electrical hazards. Having your home thoroughly assessed and inspected is the best safety measure to take once water damage has occurred.

4. Hazardous Materials

Water damage is often accompanied by dangerous debris, such as contaminated plaster and materials with lead. Our team is well equipped to repair your home in addition to removing any hazards.

Mold Tends To Favor Hard-To-Reach Places.

3/5/2018 (Permalink)

Mold In Hard-To-Reach Places.

Mold In Hard-To-Reach Places.


Mold gets behind walls, under crawl spaces, into tiny cracks and corners, and other unreachable places in a home with relative ease. This is what has allowed mold to survive for so long throughout the planet's history: it seeks out places where little else can grow, takes root there, and spreads out as far as it can go. While this is perfect for the mold, it is bad for your home, as mold eats away at building materials and can even cause health effects for residents. SERVPRO technicians take care to check each of these key out-of-sight areas in most mold remediations, to find out if a colony has taken root without the homeowner noticing.

Under Carpets
Carpeting is one of the most at-risk materials in a home to mold damage. There are a few fundamental reasons as to why carpeting fosters mold growth. Firstly, carpets are absorbent and can store small amounts of any water spilled over them for extended periods of time, giving the mold a suitable and lasting source of moisture to survive on. Secondly, the fibers and weaving of most types of carpeting create the perfect harbor for growing mold spores. We always use thermal, chemical, and sometimes physical checks to determine if mold has worked its way under any carpeting.

Behind Walls
Most of the biggest mold colonies SERVPRO technicians tackle are located behind walls or underneath floors. These areas are static and dark, giving mold the perfect place to grow if any moisture finds its way into the vicinity. Our advanced detection equipment allows us to find mold where you'd otherwise never notice it.

In Cracks And Corners
Mold does not require much space to start growing, making it a tough opponent in constricted spaces like wall cracks and deep corners. We stock an extensive supply of specially-designed tools and materials to root out these almost unreachable colonies, so don't worry if you find the mold in a seemingly impossible place.

SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township is a locally-owned franchise with national resources that helps homeowners to overcome mold, water, and fire damage at as little cost and strain as possible. Give us a call at (856) 227-7800.

Ice Dam

1/24/2018 (Permalink)

ICE DAMS: Several quick fixes but only one cure.

An Ice Dam is a hump of ice that forms at the edge of a roof under certain wintertime conditions. An ice dam can damage both your roof and the inside of your home. It will put gutters and downspouts at risk too.

Ice Dams are a common sight in New Jersey in winters, and SERVPRO has dealt with quite a few. There are several things you can do to avoid getting an ice dam or to reduce the risk of damage after one has formed, but there’s really only one cure: a combination of better sealing, insulation, and venting in the attic and eaves.

HOW DO ICE DAMS FORM?

An ice dam forms when the roof over the attic gets warm enough to melt the underside of the layer of snow on the roof. The water trickles down between the layer of snow and the shingles until it reaches the eave of the roof, which stays cold because it extends beyond the side of the house. There, the water freezes, gradually growing into a mound of ice.

The flatter the pitch of the roof, the easier it is for an ice dam to get a grip. Gutters at the eaves can also trap snow and ice. If snow and ice build up high enough in the gutter, it can provide a foundation for an ice dam.

WHAT DAMAGE DO ICE DAMS CAUSE?

When an ice dam gets big enough, melted water backs up behind it and seeps underneath the shingles. Eventually, it will drip into the insulation and down into the ceilings and exterior walls beneath the eave, ruining sheetrock and paint. If the ice dam breaks free, it can pull shingles and gutters off with it, and it will damage anything it falls on: shrubs, windowsills, cars, pets, and people. If the roof sheathing stays wet, it can form mildew and start to rot

DEALING WITH EXISTING ICE DAMS

1. Remove the ice dam by breaking it free in small chucks. Do NOT use an ax or other sharp tool! You’ll cut through the shingles. Instead, tap lightly with a blunt mallet. This is slow, dangerous work, so hire someone experienced at roofing. Even if you do it safely, the chunks of ice can take pieces of shingle with them.

2. Clear out gutters and downspouts. Again, this is ladder work and an easy way to damage either plastic or metal gutters and spouts.

3. Melt troughs through the ice dam with calcium chloride ice melter. Do NOT use rock salt! It will damage paint, metals, and plants beneath the eave and wherever the salty water drains.

A good trough-maker is a tube of cloth (a leg from an old pair of panty hose works well). Fill it with calcium chloride, tie off the top, and lay it vertically across the ice dam. It will slowly melt its way down through the dam, clearing a path for the underlying water to flow free.

Water Damage Repair For Drywall In Your Basement

1/24/2018 (Permalink)

When your basement floods, it can cause a massive problem to the drywall there.

Water Damage Repair

Drywall is a part of your daily life in Blackwood, but you never stop to think about it unless you must. When your basement floods, it can cause a massive problem to the drywall there. Even though drywall is very sturdy, when it has been exposed to water for too long, it can get damaged. It loses its structural integrity, becoming weak and soft. Depending on how wet it got, you might be able to save it, but speed is critical to avoiding mold damage as well.

The best thing to do first when you have water damage to your drywall in your Blackwood basement is to get a hold of the professionals at SERVPRO. Our trained technicians have professional and industrial tools which can get your home dried out and back to its usual condition quickly.

When we arrive, we first check your drywall for moisture. We do this by using a non-penetrating moisture meter or by removing the baseboards and poking small holes. If the drywall is soft, it has gotten wet. We need to check the interior of the wall as well. We do this with a penetrating moisture meter or making a larger hole to search for moisture on the studs. If there is insulation present, it is critical for us to check it for moisture content as well, especially if it is cellulose or fiberglass.

Wet walls and insulation hold moisture for quite a while, which means that mold clusters can start forming inside the wall. If your drywall has started molding, we need to replace all or part of it. You do not want mold to continue growing in your home, as it can create a health risk for you and your family.

SERVPRO technicians have the training to remove the mold and clean and sanitize your home afterward. We can find any mold that is hiding inside your walls and prevents it from spreading even further throughout your home.

Trusting in SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township to take care of your wet drywall is the right step to take. Anyone experiencing this problem in the areas of Blackwood, Stratford, or Somerdale can reach us at (856) 227-7800.

We specialize in Flooded Basement Cleanup and Restoration!

1/24/2018 (Permalink)

Flooded Basement

A basement can flood at any time, although flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall or melting snow. Basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a building and are normally built partly or entirely below ground level. There are a number of reasons why your basement could flood, including:

  • A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe
  • Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home
  • Storm sewer backup
  • Sanitary sewer backup
  • Foundation drainage failure
  • Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure
  • Any many more

If water damage is not handled quickly and properly, it can cause severe damage to your home's structure not to mention the potential harmful health effects of mold. Remember, the longer you wait, the worse the problem will get.

We are Flooded Basement Specialists:

  • We are Available 24 hours/7 days per week

Winter Storm Frozen Pipes : Prevention and Treatment

12/28/2017 (Permalink)

Frozen Pipe

With the colder weather officially upon us, now is an excellent time to learn more about how to avoid frozen pipes, and the subsequent water damage that can occur if those pipes expand and burst. Though frozen pipes are a common occurrence, they are highly preventable.  

SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township  offers the following tips for preventing frozen pipes and mitigating potential damage that they can cause.  

  • Insulate all the exposed pipes in your home. Especially where they may be unheated, such as the basement, attic, garage, crawl space, and under kitchen and bathroom cabinets. 
  • Keep the temperature the same during the day and at night. By temporarily suspending the use of lower temperatures in the evening, you can prevent a costly repair job if pipes freeze and burst. 
  • Close any inside values that supply water outdoors and open the outside value to properly drain excess water that may be in the pipes. 
  • In drastically cold temperatures, let your faucet trickle. While you may be concerned about wasting water, running water is less likely to freeze. 
  • Remove, drain, and store hoses used outdoors. Keep outside valves open so that any water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing it to break. 
  • If you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time, leave the heat on and set to a temperature no lower than 55° F. 

Found a Frozen Pipe? Thaw It Out: 

  • If you turn on a faucet and only a few drips come out, suspect a frozen pipe. Typically, frozen pipes are found along exterior walls or where your water service enters your home through the foundation. 
  • Make sure the faucet remains on while treating the pipes, as the flowing water will help to melt the ice within the pipe. 
  • Apply heat to the section of pipe using an electric heating pad, an electric hair dryer, or by wrapping pipes with towels soaked in hot water. Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, or other open flame device. 
  • Check all other faucets in your home to find out if you have additional frozen pipes. If one pipe freezes, others may freeze too.  

Should you experience a loss resulting from water damage, turn off the water supply as soon as possible, and call SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800 immediately. The longer you wait to call, the greater the chance of mold growth and unrecoverable property. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township professionals have the expertise to prevent or mitigate the devastating effects that water damage can have. 

Space Heater Safety Tip

12/28/2017 (Permalink)

Make sure to use space heaters safely.

In the colder months of the year, homeowners look for ways to make chilly areas warm and comfortable. While space heaters can be useful to keep small areas warm, it’s very important to use them with caution. Using a space heater can be safe if you follow these simple recommendations.

First, before purchasing a space heater, check out the specifications and make sure that it's UL approved. When using the heater, make sure that you create a three-foot safety zone around the space heater. Do not place the heater on or near any carpets, throw rugs, papers, or clothing. The space heater must be placed on a flat surface and not elevated on any cabinets, shelves, or other furniture.

Place the space heater in an area where it will not be in the way and where no one will trip on it. It’s a great idea to shop for a space heater with an automatic shut-off so that the heater will shut off if it tips over. Make sure that kids and pets are kept away from the heater for their own safety; space heaters can be quite warm to the touch. Also, pets may chew on the cords, so keep an eye on them around the space heater.

It’s a good idea to inspect the heater before every use. Don’t use the heater if there is any damage.

Never leave a space heater unattended. It’s tempting to leave it on while you’re sleeping to keep your bedroom warm. It is too risky to let these appliances run overnight when no one is nearby to make sure there are no problems.

You should never use a power strip or extension cord with a space heater. This cords could overheat due to the higher electrical demands and cause fire damage. Finally, ensure that your home smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order and test them monthly.

If you do have fire damage to your home and need professional cleaning services, contact us at SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township 856-227-7800. We will work with you to make sure your home or business returns to normal as quickly as possible.

Flooding in a Commercial Building

12/28/2017 (Permalink)

Hotels are just one examples of business which cannot close even during an emergency

Trust SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township to Get Your Business Open After Flooding

A water loss in a commercial building cannot wait for clean up. Fortunately, SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has the equipment, training and experience to eliminate the effects of any plumbing failure and keep the doors open.

Commercial carpets are typically much easier to dry that residential carpet as they do not have a pad underneath and rest on a concrete floor. Also the service areas tend to be larger and more accessible. These factors make drying less complicated than a residential water loss. Although each case is unique, the typical process is as follows...

SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township technicians use extraction wands to remove water from the floor. Depending on the size of the area, we use either hand-held wands, similar to wet/dry vacuum found in most home workshops or a much larger device a team member stands on to drive across the room. We can extract several large rooms in just a matter of hours. 

Technicians then set up dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air. They also strategically place units to draw out water absorbed into the walls. 
 
To aid the dehumidifiers, we set up fans to draw in warm, dry air replacing the cold, damp air. To dry the structure, technicians install air movers which blow heated air into walls and ceilings to expedite drying. 
 
Flooding does not mean shutting down a business for weeks or even days. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township can help you reopen your doors quickly. If you need our services, call today at 856-227-7800.

Clean Your Dryer Vents to Prevent Fire in Blackwood

12/5/2017 (Permalink)

Clothes dryer vents can build up lint over time, restricting air flow and posing a threat of fire. This type of fire is totally preventable.

One of the most common causes of fires is also perhaps the most preventable.

Dryer vents connect from your clothes dryer, and can build up lint. If not cleaned out properly, the air cannot flow properly, and a fire can result. This type of fire happens most frequently in homes, posing dangers to adults and children.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year. These fires cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss. The U.S. Fire Administration also reports that the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires is failure to clean them (34 percent).

Apart from cleaning your dryer vent, the U.S. Fire Administration has suggestions to enhance safety when using your clothes dryer:

  • Don’t use a clothes dryer without a lint filter or with a lint filter that is loose, damaged or clogged.
  • Don’t overload the dryer.
  • Don’t use a wire screen or cloth to cover the wall damper. They can collect lint and clog the dryer vent.
  • Don’t dry anything containing foam, rubber or plastic. An example of an item not to place in a dryer is a bathroom rug with a rubber backing.
  • Don’t dry any item for which manufacturers' instructions state “dry away from heat.”
  • Don’t dry glass fiber materials (unless manufacturers' instructions allow).
  • Don’t dry items that have come into contact with anything flammable like alcohol, cooking oils or gasoline. Dry them outdoors or in a well-ventilated room, away from heat.
  • Don’t leave a clothes dryer running if you leave home or when you go to bed.

Top Hidden Places Where Mold May Grow In Your Home

10/24/2017 (Permalink)

Top Places Where Mold May Grow

While there are common places where most people find mold, like around showers and tubs, there are many places in a home or business where mold be hidden. It’s these hidden areas that can lead to further damage from mold which is why it’s important to check them on a regular basis for any signs of moisture or condensation. In no particular order, here are the top places where mold can grow in a home:

  1. Crawl Spaces

Most homeowners never look into their crawl spaces but they might want to. Crawl spaces can easily collect moisture from water seeping through the foundation to moisture rising from the ground. A crawl space should have a vapor barrier on the ground to keep moisture from rising up. A crawl space also need adequate ventilation to allow any moisture that may collect to flow out. Failure to keep the moisture out from your crawl space can result in mold growth on the exposed framing of your home. The mold can eventually lead to excessive damage to all wood surfaces and make its way into the home.

  1. Basements

Basements are similar to crawl spaces but the fact that they are open and exposed to the rest of the house, can result in mold spreading quickly throughout your home via the air ducts and open doors. If your basement smells musty, then you either have mold growth already happening or the high possibility of it occurring. Due to the fact that many basements are furnished and carpeted, there are more areas in a basement that are perceptible to mold growth when compared to a crawl space.

  1. Bathrooms

A good ventilation fan is important in a bathroom not for the odor issues but the moisture issues. This is especially true with bathrooms where there are showers in them. While everybody loves a hot shower, a hot shower also creates a large amount of moisture that can lead to mold growth. Another area where mold may grow is behind toilets and under sinks with cabinets. Moisture can condensate on the toilet tank and wall causing mold to form on the wall.

  1. Under the Refrigerator

Some refrigerators have drip pans where water can collect. If dust or debris get into the drip pan, mold can start to grow. Water can also leak from the water line or drip from the cooling coils. It’s a good idea to check every few months as well as keep it clean by sweeping and vacuuming on a regular basis.

  1. Around the Washing Machine

The washing machine and the dryer are both susceptible to mold growth. If the dryer vent hose does not properly vent out the steam from the drying clothes, it can accumulate in the hose or around the back of the dryer causing mold to grow. Washing machines can also leak and drip down under the machine where dust can gather creating the perfect home for mold growth. Just like the refrigerator, it’s important to keep the areas clean and check underneath them often.

Extreme Heat- How it can Affect you

7/6/2017 (Permalink)

We all know New Jersey summers can bring extreme heat! Extreme heat is caused by higher than normal temperature and humidity. Children, ages infant to four are at higher risk for heat related illnesses and need extra fluids compared to adults. Symptoms of heat related illness include faintness, exhaustion, nausea, muscle spasms, and fever. In the United States more than 600 people die every year due to extreme heat. During these heat waves it’s better to stay inside and stay cool if possible. Air conditioning is the highest protective measure against extreme heat illnesses. HYDRATION is also extremely important! Drink plenty of water and if you’re in prolonged heat it’s good to utilize sports drinks to replenish your body with electrolytes. If you must be outdoors you should also avoid strenuous activities, wear lightweight light colored clothing, and take breaks in the shade or a cool environment

Minimizing the Impact of Commercial Water Damage

5/23/2017 (Permalink)

Don't let a small leak turn into a large problem

Reducing The Impact of Water Damage in Your Commercial Property 

One of the most disruptive things that can happen to a business is to experience a sudden water emergency. Whether it's a severe storm, burst pipes, or a malfunctioning sprinkler system, the longer your building is out of commission, the more your bottom line will suffer.

No matter how it happens, water damage can wreak havoc on a business. Entrepreneurs dealing with the effects of commercial water damage in Gloucester Township are often overwhelmed, but quickly taking steps to minimize the impact is essential. Here are things you can do if your business is affected by commercial water damage.

1. Safeguard your important documents and records. Whether it's stored electronically or in print, if you can access your business's records get it to a safe place. Our team has experience restoring and recovering documents, and it may be possible to salvage materials that you think are a lost cause if we're called to the scene quickly.

2. Alert employees and customers who come into the building. The last thing that you want after facing commercial water damage is for a client or worker to get hurt as a result. If the building is unsafe, it may be best to temporarily close as opposed to being liable for an accident. SERVPRO technicians can get your business ready to open again, and we'll make sure the premises are safe.

3. Prevent future mold problems. Mold infestations are common after commercial water damage has occurred, especially if the water is not cleaned up immediately or all of the excess moisture doesn't get removed from the building. We're experts at repairing water damage and employing strategies to prevent the development of mold and mildew.

Locally Owned Company with National Resources

Commercial Water Extraction for Blackwood Bussinesses

5/18/2017 (Permalink)

Commercial Water Damage presents many challenges

Blackwood Damage Is Often Caused by Water, Call SERVPRO

 

Once water damage has struck your business, the first action is to remove it immediately. Standing water can permanently destroy carpets, floors, and walls if not dealt with quickly. In many situations, though, that is not enough.

 

Water extraction, especially in commercial structures is a needed procedure for many Blackwood businesses. It is this process that removes water from carpets to keep bubbles from forming underneath, stop glue from dissolving and prevent mold from expanding and growing. SERVPRO has the equipment and experience to stop all of this and more.

For print shops and other businesses that deal in paper products, this process is also necessary to reduce the overall levels of moisture in the air. Although paper quickly falls apart when exposed to water, reducing the humidity inside the structure saves items that are not otherwise damaged.

To do this, our technicians use air movers, dehumidifiers, exhaust fans and specially designed heaters. The dehumidifiers extract water directly from the surrounding atmosphere, which prevents it from damaging finished product and stock items. Air movers and exhaust fans draw air from a single location and circulate it throughout the facility and eventually to the outside. Circulation helps the dehumidifiers perform more efficiently as moisture is removed with the air away from paper stocks as well as the floors and walls of the structure.

The commercial grade heaters can be set to safely raise the temperature in a variety of spaces from a small stockroom to a large showroom or customer service area. Besides the reduction in physical damage to stocks and finished products, this combination of equipment to lower the moisture levels also stops mold growth.

As these machines are set up, other team members work with the business owners to examine which damaged property needs removal. Everything that has been underwater typically must be thrown out. Water is absorbed quickly, and even a stack of paper and other product can be useless in a matter of hours once covered with water.

Pulling standing water out of a structure takes care of many issues when it comes to restoration. It does not stop all problems, though, and further actions are needed. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has the experience and equipment to completely remove and dry your business to reopen for your customers. Call us today at (856) 227-7800 to get started.

Sewer Spill

5/13/2017 (Permalink)

Cleaning up sewage after a ruptured sewer line or septic tank is much more important than just getting rid of a bad smell.

Sewage Cleanup


A sewer spill is one of the most unforgettable events to happen to a homeowner or renter. Depending on the amount and source (septic tanks usually being worse), the smell can not only drive a person from their home but empty out an entire neighborhood if the spill is outside the home.

Cleaning up sewage after a ruptured sewer line or septic tank is much more important than just getting rid of a bad smell. Even when there is only contaminated or ‘gray’ water, the health threat to your family makes your home unlivable because of the bacteria and fungi that reside in every sewer line. SERVPRO has the knowledge and experience needed to remove this threat.

First, we identify the source of the contamination. If it is a backed-up or ruptured sewer line pushing waste back into your home, our technicians cap it to prevent further contamination. In the case of a cracked septic tank, our personnel can seal it off within a few hours. As this happens, other team members begin removing contaminated water and waste. We have a series of pumps designed for use in a home that draws out standing water in a few hours. Even a large home can be pumped out in less than a day.

Disinfecting your home is now the priority. Any spill involving human waste is a biohazard. This type of contamination cannot be washed away with a bucket of warm water and bleach. Carpets contaminated with ‘black’ water must be removed and thrown out. It is simply not safe to try to clean and dry them for continued use in your home. Furniture can be cleaned and returned to the home. We use a variety of disinfectant sprays to kill any bacteria on wood, metal, or glass. It might be necessary to remove the veneer from wood furniture to ensure removal of all the bacteria.

An outside spill is simpler to clean-up but can be very labor intensive. Contaminated soil cannot safely remain in the ground. We use backhoes and other earth moving equipment to remove the dirt and haul it away to break down the contamination. Once the soil tests are clean, we return it to your home and fill in the excavation.

Cleaning up after a sewer spill is an event no one soon forgets. While the cost is usually less than in other disasters, failing to do it correctly means a continuing health threat and further damage that can render your home unlivable. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township is here to help you stop that from happening. Call us today at 856-227-7800.

5 Things NOT to store in your garage

5/4/2017 (Permalink)

Take back your garage

With the onset of Spring in the Delaware Valley, most of us try to accomplish new goals, get a new fresh start. Getting healthy, organizing our homes, bettering our lives' always seem to be at the top of the list. One space to start cleaning and organizing is the garage! That extra storage area that easily becomes a catchall for excess items.  We have compiled a list of items that should not be stored in your garage. Get them out and reclaim your space.

  1. Paint- Because the garage is prone to extreme temperature changes, paint should not be stored in the garage.  Recycle paint according to your county guidelines or donate it.
  2. Electronics- If you are putting electronics out in the garage, you must not be using them.  Donate these items because they can’t withstand the temperature fluctuations and will easily break.
  3. Propane and Hazardous Chemicals- Proper ventilation is key for storage of propane and hazardous chemicals.  For safety reasons, these items need to be stored outside.  
  4. Food- Keeping food in the garage is an open invitation to rodents and insects.  Although shopping in bulk can save money, storing extra food in the garage will cause problems. The moisture and humidity will spoil the food. Find room in the house for food storage.
  5. Cardboard boxes- Insects, mice and other rodents love cardboard.  Invest in waterproof plastic bins to store your items.

Hope these tips help you gain back your garage. Happy Cleaning from SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township!

The Hazards of Hidden Water from Water Damage

5/4/2017 (Permalink)

Water hiding in walls must be dried to prevent mold growth.

Water can damage your home in ways you may not imagine.  Pipe breaks, irrigation malfunctions and other issues can deposit gallons of water in your home.  This water, assisted by gravity and capillary action can quickly spread throughout your structure giving mold the moisture it needs to get a foothold and grow.  Gravity, of course, pulls the water down through your house affecting everything in its path.  Capillary action, on the other hand, pulls water up behind cabinets, into the drywall and wall cavities.  Both of these actions work together to create one of the biggest hazards in water damages: water you cannot see.  This unseen water left untreated is a main factor in microbial and mold growth.  SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has the tools and experience to not only find this dangerous hidden moisture, but also remove it, making your water damage, "Like it never even happened."

Are you Prepared for a power outage?

4/27/2017 (Permalink)

Ready Kit

You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least 72 hours. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours or it might take days. Depending on the nature of the disaster road conditions may prevent help from arriving in a timely manner. 

Additionally, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones may be cut off for days or even a week, or longer. Your supplies kit should contain items to help you manage during these outages.  If the power goes out keep your pipes from freezing by shutting off the valve that allows water to come into your home. Then, open any drain valves and all faucets and let them run until the pipes are empty (it's helpful to identify these valves in advance). Next, flush all toilets and pour denatured alcohol into toilets and sinks to prevent water in the traps from freezing. Do NOT use automotive antifreeze in case there's trouble with your water system; you don't want the antifreeze to contaminate your drinking water. You may, however, use nontoxic antifreeze that's made for winterizing motor homes.

Be prepared for a power outage by keeping necessary items centrally located in your home. Take the time to ensure that everyone in your family is aware of the "kit." Periodically check your kit to see that batteries operate properly. The following is a list of items that are suggested to keep on hand:

1.     Flashlights for each family member

2.     Battery-operated radio and clock

3.     Extra batteries

4.     Containers of bottled water

5.     Canned, freeze-dried or dehydrated food, powdered milk, baby supplies for infants

6.     Non-electric can opener

7.     List of important phone numbers

8.     First-aid kit

Following a disaster, there may be power outages that could last for several days. Stock canned foods, dry mixes and other staples that do not require refrigeration, cooking, water or special preparation. Be sure to include a manual can opener and eating utensils. The following items are suggested when selecting emergency food supplies. You may already have many of these on hand.

•Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food.

•Choose foods your family will eat.

•Remember any special dietary needs.

•Avoid foods that will make you thirsty.

•Choose salt-free crackers, whole grain cereals and canned foods with high liquid content.

•Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables and a can opener

•Protein or fruit bars

•Dry cereal or granola

•Peanut butter

•Dried fruit

•Nuts

•Crackers

•Canned juices

•Non-perishable pasteurized milk

•High energy foods

•Vitamins

•Food for infants

•Comfort/stress foods

Does Your Home Or Business Have A Mold Problem?

4/27/2017 (Permalink)

Mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

Document Freeze Drying

4/11/2017 (Permalink)

Water damages can be a nightmare to deal with when they happen for multiple reasons. One aspect that is often overlooked at first, is how to save important or sentimental documents after they have been saturated by water. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has the ability to take those documents and limit the amount of permanent damage through a procedure called Document Freeze Drying.


Document Freeze Drying is a process in which the wet documents are taken and immediately frozen to prevent any further damage. Next they are shipped in a climate controlled environment to our corporate headquarters where they will be stored in a freezer until they are placed in SERVPRO’s Document Freeze Drying Chamber. The chamber uses a process called sublimation to evaporate the frozen water off the documents without allowing the water to go through the liquid phase. This is done by controlling the temperature in a vacuum—changing the melting and boiling points of water. This allows for the documents to be dried without allowing the liquid water to cause further damage. This can be beneficial to both our commercial and residential customers. On the commercial end, we have the abilities and necessary requirements to handle a large quantity of sensitive documents while adhering to proper chain of custody, HIPPA requirements and privacy standards. On the residential end, we have the abilities to handle smaller amounts of sentimental documents and photos that could be priceless and irreplaceable. So no matter what size disaster, SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township is here to help you, 24/7!

Fire Sprinkler System May Keep Your Doors Open for Business

Call SERVPRO for Your Blackwood Commercial Fire Damage

Commercial Fire Damage is one of the most devastating experiences that a business owner can experience in Blackwood. In addition to doing severe damage to the structure of the building, fires can lead to excessive, standing water on the property as well as mold invasions. For these reasons and more, business leaders find it difficult to recover from a natural disaster or man-made accident. This is even the case when the business owner is an industry expert who manages the daily operations prudently. However, learning more about commercial fires and how fire damage remediation specialists can assist you is the first step towards limiting damages and preserving your equilibrium in the face of the disaster. Gather information you need regarding how to grapple with a fire by reviewing the data outlined below:

Fire Threats. There are several factors that can place a commercial property in harms way leading to burning and fire damage. Some of the more prevalent factors include:
• lightning strike
• electrical fire
• blown fuse, overloaded circuitry
• adjoining business fire

The Importance Of Obtaining Business Fire Insurance

Unfortunately, some companies find that the losses endured due to a fire leave them unable to continue operating. Typically, companies who are not able to resume operations following the fire-damaging event did not maintain business interruption insurance. While any company impacted by a fire will have challenges with the fire damage restoration process, those that have business interruption insurance find it easier to keep their organizations functioning effectively. Because no company is invulnerable to fire and the damage it can cause, purchasing the insurance is important and advantageous. The insurance will cost roughly 10% more that the business owner's current premium. SERVPRO is well known for working with insurance and property management companies to expedite and mitigate the downtime and costs of the restoration.

Preventing Commercial Fire Damage: Strategies You Can Use

In addition to purchasing business interruption insurance, there are several strategies you can implement to decrease the impact of fire damage to your Blackwood business. Some of them include:
- Avoiding the storage of flammable items on-site
- Checking your smoke alarms to ensure that they are functioning optimally, having fire extinguishers strategically placed
- Implementing a fire evacuation plan, no blocking of exit doors
- Turning off appliances and machinery when no one is present
- Ensuring that all machinery is in good condition
- Placing backup drives and important paperwork in a fireproof safe, utilizing the cloud for document backup

Severe Spring Weather – Prepare with Red Cross Tips

4/11/2017 (Permalink)

Spring Storms

Spring brings the threat of severe weather, which can mean heavy rain, flash flooding, damaging winds and tornadoes. The American Red Cross offers safety steps to follow if your area is affected.

FOLLOW THESE LIFESAVING SAFETY STEPS

 

THUNDERSTORM SAFETY STEPS Thunderstorms injure an average of 300 people every year, and cause about 80 fatalities. Here are the top thunderstorm safety steps you should follow:

1. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately.

2. As the storm approaches, take shelter in a building.

3. If you are driving, pull off the roadway and park. Stay in the car with the windows closed and turn on the emergency flashers. Avoid touching metal or other surfaces that conduct electricity in and outside of the vehicle.

4. If you are inside, unplug appliances and avoid using the telephone or any electrical appliances. Avoid taking a bath or shower, or running water for any other purpose.

5. If you are caught outside and cannot reach a safe building, avoid high ground, water, tall, isolated trees and metal objects such as fences or bleachers. Picnic shelters, dugouts and sheds are not safe.

 

FLOODING Heavy rains could fill rivers and streams, bringing flooding to the area. If your neighborhood is threatened with the possibility of flooding, here are some things you should do:

1. Be prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice. When a flood or flash flood warning is issued for your area, head for higher ground and stay there.

2. Stay away from floodwaters.

3. If you come upon a flooded road while driving, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.

4. Keep children out of the water.

5. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flood danger.

 

TORNADOES Tornadoes can strike without warning and destroy a community in seconds. Before a tornado warning is issued for your area, here are some things you should do:

1. Know your community’s warning system.

2. Pick a place where family members can gather if a tornado is headed your way. It could be your basement or, if there is no basement, a center hallway, bathroom, or closet on the lowest floor. Keep this place uncluttered.

3. If you are in a high-rise building and don’t have enough time to go to the lowest floor, pick a place in a hallway in the center of the building.

4. Remove diseased and damaged limbs from trees.

5. Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything else that can be picked up by the wind and become a projectile.

 

People should download the free Red Cross Emergency App to receive emergency alerts and information about what to do in case of tornadoes, flooding and other disasters, as well as locations of shelters. The App also includes emergency first aid information and a Family Safe feature which allows people to instantly see if loved ones are okay. The free Emergency App is available in app stores by searching for the American Red Cross or going to redcross.org/apps.

Preventing Electrical Fires with Nine Easy Tips

4/6/2017 (Permalink)

electrical fire

In today’s society, people are working overtime to meet the pressures of daily life. With technology and electronic accessories being an inescapable part of day-to-day activities, it means that electricity is in high-demand, and it is working around the clock in the home setting. Children need their cell phones charged at all times to keep in touch with their parents, and adults use their computers late into the night to complete work assignments. When work and school are done, dinner needs to be cooked with the appliances in the kitchen and the family likes to unwind with television, video games, music, and a multitude of various electronic devices. In addition, electricity is needed to heat and cool the home and run light fixtures. Undoubtedly, homes today are generating a tremendous amount of electricity, and the greater the electric load, the greater the risk of electrical-related fires. Below are nine safety measures one can adhere to in order to reduce the risk of electrical fires in one’s home:

  1. On a regular basis, have the home inspected for loose wires, shorts, and faulty wiring that increase the risk of potential electrical fires, as electrical wiring eventually needs to be replaced. This is especially pertinent if one lives in an older home. Signs that faulty wiring is a pressing issue can include flickering lamps, buzzing outlets, or outlets that spark when an electronic device is plugged in. If one of these indications occurs, do not delay in in hiring a certified electrician to give the home an inspection to determine if the wiring is safe or if it is in need of rewiring.
  2. Install a smoke detector on every level of the home and inside each bedroom. It is vital to make sure the smoke detectors are working properly by testing them every month. Test the detectors to ensure that all members of the home know the sound of the smoke detector. Also, create a plan so that the entire family knows what to do in case of an actual fire. Once a plan is in place, practice each aspect of fire-escape strategy to guarantee its success.
  3. Utilize safety measures with electric cords. This includes replacing cords that are loose, frayed, or contains cracks. Never place cords in areas that receive a large volume of foot traffic, such as under mats or carpeting. Avoid tacking cords to surfaces with nails or staples. If an extension cord is being used on a long-term basis, consider having outlets installed by a certified electrician nearer to your electronic devices.
  4. Only use the correct wattage light bulbs in all fixtures. If the wattage is higher than the requirement noted on the lamp or appliance, replace the bulbs immediately. Firmly secure light bulbs in the socket to safeguard them from overheating.
  5. Use a surge protector to guard appliances and other electronics in your home. It is important that homeowners use a surge protector that is equivalent to the equipment one has while keeping in mind that they only protect the items that are directly plugged into them. Note that there are two basic types of surge protectors: the power strip accompanied by a surge protector and the wall-mount surge protector. When buying a surge protector, locate one that has the Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) mark of approval and always avoid overloading it. As with wiring, surge protectors will eventually need to be replaced, especially if the home experiences a large surge or frequent power surges.
  6. Store flammables away from electrical appliances. It is helpful to establish a safe, designated area for flammable chemicals in your home.
  7. As the average daily temperature declines, portable space heaters run a high risk of electrical fires. Other risks include lamps, blow dryers, hair straighteners, and clothing irons. Any object made of fabric, such as towels and bath mats, can quickly ignite and spread fire rapidly.
  8. Place a fire extinguisher in all major rooms of the home, such as kitchen, bedrooms, and laundry room. The National Fire Protection Association suggests a multi-purpose extinguishers that carry and “A, B, C,” combination classification while also carrying the label of an independent testing laboratory. Have all family members read the instructions on how to use the fire extinguisher. Extinguisher are useful in containing small fires until the fire department arrives, but the first priority should be getting one’s family out of the home safely.
  9. Arcs cause numerous electrical fires every year, but this can be combatted by installing an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breaker in the home. Arcs in the home’s electrical system occur when an electrical current flows through an inadvertent path generating a sudden, high temperature in electrical wires. When this happens, the extreme temperatures can easily ignite other combustible materials surrounding it, such as wood or insulation. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association says having an AFCI breaker offers greater fire protection for homeowners than a standard circuit breaker. An AFCI monitors the circuits in your home for the presence of hazardous arcing conditions and instantly disconnects the damaged circuit before the arc has time to build enough heat to cause a fire. As of 2008, the National Electrical Code has required new homes to have AFCI protection, but the code varies from state to state, and older homes are at greater risk due to aging electrical wiring. As always, have a qualified electrician install the AFCI breaker.

Reducing the risk of electrical fires in one’s home is relatively simple, but the safety benefits are worth a great deal of peace-of-mind.

What to Do After a Fire

  • Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles from being embedded into upholstery and carpets.
  • Keep hands clean so as not to further soil upholstery, walls and woodwork.
  • Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery and carpet traffic areas.
  • If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator and prop doors open.
  • Clean and protect chrome with light coating of petroleum jelly or oil.
  • Wash houseplants on both sides of leaves.
  • Change HVAC filter.
  • Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers. 

What NOT To Do After a Fire

  • Don't attempt to wash any walls or painted surfaces or shampoo carpet or upholstery without contacting us.
  • Don't attempt to clean any electrical appliances that may have been close to fire, heat or water without consulting an authorized repair service.
  • Don't use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored near the fire, heat or water.
  • Don't turn on ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet. The wiring may be damaged.
  • Don't send garments to an ordinary dry cleaner. Improper cleaning may set smoke odor.

Commercial Flood Damage

4/4/2017 (Permalink)

flooded office

During a flood, it isn't just the roads and homes that are overcome with excess water in the area. Businesses, factories, clinics, hospitals, schools and everything in between can find themselves soaked with brackish water, as well. No building is immune to flooding. Depending on the kind of business you're engaged in will determine what kind of losses your business will have.

Gloucester Township area companies that need commercial flood damage restoration and repairs can return to normal only after the flood waters have receded, the damaged interiors are repaired, and then sanitized. Pathogens found in flood water, and then left behind on soft and hard surfaces, can be extremely harmful to human health. Businesses in the services industry can find themselves without the end-user items needed to carry out day-to-day operations. Retail operations can return after a flood to discover their inventory is not only water-logged, but covered in sediment and jumbled up.

Clinics and hospitals have patients to care for, as well as the items required for providing that care. In addition, there is also the federal requirement for safe record keeping of patient files. Restaurants will need to ensure that all food in jars, cans, and boxes have been disposed of to protect patrons' health. Kitchen equipment will need to be cleaned and sanitized. Flood waters can wipe out much of this, but we can help with the restoration process. Removing silt can be tedious but must be done to remove hidden pathogens and also the destructive grit that would ruin many pieces of equipment, regardless of the type of business.

We know your customers or clients depend on you and the services or products you provide them, and we want you to know you can count on us. Reversing commercial flood damage is much more than just getting the water out. It's also the act of removing the extra humidity left behind, ensuring that all surfaces are clean and sanitized, that all carpets have been removed or restored to a sanitary state, and much more. The prevention of secondary water damage is of vital importance, especially when you have a responsibility to those you serve. Understanding that responsibility is part of what makes us able to respond the way we do.

When you've had a flood and need commercial flood damage assistance, call us, SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at (856) 227-7800. We answer our telephones 24/7, and we will always respond when you need us.

Hidden Hazards in Sicklerville Flooded Basements

4/4/2017 (Permalink)

a properly working sump pump can save you hundreds of dollars and many headaches

Standing Water and Cellars Can Be a Dangerous Duo

Basement flooding can become a grave danger even when damage anywhere else in the home is relatively benign. Although water may rise to only an inch or less, or never pool at all in other rooms, basements collect water and often end up with damage far more severe than elsewhere in the home. Further increasing safety risks, basements are also poorly lit, and even if electric lighting is adequate, it can also be a major electrocution hazard. SERVPRO recommends exercising extreme caution around flooded basements and looking out for these hazards.

Electrocution Hazards
In addition to light fixtures, most basements also contain many other serious shock dangers that can prove deadly in the aftermath of flood damage from large appliances such as refrigerators and televisions to electrical wires and circuits central to the rest of the home, most basements contain multiple sources of high-voltage electricity that can be aggravated by a flood. Even a small flood, not rising more than an inch or two, can create these hazards, especially with wall outlets. SERVPRO recommends you never enter a basement with standing water without our express permission, even if you believe it to be safe.
 
Water-Borne Risks
It's not just water that collects in a cellar during a flood. Debris, bacteria, and contaminants also follow the same laws of physics that cause water to flow downhill, and as a result, many of the materials suspended in floodwaters that make them so dangerous end up collecting in the basement area. From shards of glass and ceramic to dangerous life forms, these hard-to-see risks are another reason to stay away from standing water.
 
Drowning Risks
Typically in flood damage scenarios with multiple feet of water, a serious drowning risk can accompany a flooded basement. In the dark and enclosed spaces, it can be easy to lose track of the water's depth or to miss a possible hole in the ground. Even in shallow water, there is always a risk of tripping over something or bumping your head, which is why SERVPRO always uses headlamps or similar tools when entering dark areas.

Mold Damage In Your Stratford Property

4/4/2017 (Permalink)

Mold spores are microscopic and can be located everywhere

Mold Damage

Mold spores are microscopic and can be located everywhere. There are thousands in every home and are dormant, causing no problems, for the most part. It takes an open source of water or high levels of moisture in the air to cause these spores to expand and grow. If untreated or removed, mold can quickly destroy building material and other property, costing hundreds (even thousands) of dollars in damage.

If you are concerned there may be mold damage in your Gloucester Township home, call a professional mold damage restoration company for assistance. SERVPRO has extensive training in handling mold and cleaning up property that has been infested by it.

We start by finding the source of the mold and determining just how far it may have already grown. Our technicians use air testers to determine the exact levels which help us plan how to neutralize and remove it. Once we find it, the next step is to isolate the affected room or area. Our response team seals off all entrances and exits using plastic sheeting and duct tape to prevent further contamination of your home. The vents and ducts of your heating and air system will be sealed off as well.

Next, technicians begin to clean the area using anti-fungal and anti-microbial sprays to destroy active spores. Every surface will be sprayed and then wiped down; if the growth is exceptionally thick in some places, we use special scrubbing tools to remove it without damaging the surface underneath. Areas difficult to reach may be cleaned by using anti-fungal foggers that get into every surface and crack mold may hide. These foggers are also used in case your heating and air system has been compromised by the mold. After the ducts have been exposed to the anti-fungal agents, technicians will use specially designed exhaust fans to blow the spores out of your home. When this is finished, we wipe down all of the vents and replace the air filters.

To prevent new mold growth, our technicians also test the air to see if the air moisture levels need to be reduced. If they do, dehumidifiers will be set up at key points to draw water from the air. Once the levels test out to under 12 percent, your home is considered to be safe against new growth. If you are worried about mold in your house, call us at (856) 227-7800 today to schedule an inspection. SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township is here to help restore your home and put your life back together.

Cooking Safety Tips and Fire Prevention

A burnt pan after a cooking fire

Cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires and injuries according to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency)  The cause is unattended cooking so it is important to be alert and make sure you never leave the kitchen while cooking. A kitchen fire, regardless of the size, can be overwhelming. Most kitchen fires begin on the stove and the damage can affect the entire kitchen along with other areas in the home including walls, ceilings and appliances. A cooking fire is usually started by grease, oil or food which can make cleanup more difficult. 

A few tips to remember in the kitchen:

  • If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by carefully sliding a lid over the pan. Turn off the burner but do not remove the pan. 
  • Stay in the kichen while you cook
  • Remove items such as towels, plastic utenils and pot holders that can catch fire away from stove 
  • Keep cooking surfaces clean to prevent food & grease build up
  • Make sure you have a working smoke alarm
  • Make sure you kitchen has a fire extinguisher
  • If you need to lave the room, be sure to turn the stove off

Why Choose a Company With IICRC Certified Technicians to Restore Your Home After a Water Damage?

3/26/2017 (Permalink)

A Moisture Meter helps determine water concentration levels. It is one of the tools we use to determine "What is Wet" and "How Wet Is It."

Damage Caused by Water is Usually Worse Than the Homeowner Thinks.

When water intrusion occurs it is very important to react fast. That is why here at SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township we have a crew on standby 24/7. Water in a home can spread very fast if not addressed immediately. This is especially true in multi-story buildings and those with slabs. As gravity takes effect, the water will naturally want to move down which leads it from the attic/upstairs to the lower levels of the home or business. Unfortunately, the water cannot easily just run through a slab and drain outside the structure, it will begin to pool and move outward increasing the affected area as time goes by. Whenever this spreading water comes in contact with a pours material such as wood, carpet or drywall, the material causes a capillary action we call wicking where the water will be absorbed into the material, even allowing it to move up wally, once again increasing the area damaged as time passes. As if having a wet home or office is not bad enough the results of not taking action as soon as possible can be even worse, especially if the water is from an unclean source. Dirty water is filled with many hazardous substances ranging from chemicals to animal feces, parasites, bacteria and fungi. Bacteria, viruses and fungi grow aggressively in contaminated liquids, and severe health risks, like salmonella and hepatitis, are common in flood waters and sewage. When you combine contaminated water with a home built of mostly organic material you now have an optimum environment to promote the growth of countless hazardous organisms.

Fortunately, SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township has several Institute Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certified technicians who are specially trained to address the full extent of a water damage in your home or business. Additionally, our franchise is an IICRC certified firm.

Spring Rains can create flood damage

3/26/2017 (Permalink)

These tips will help when choosing a company when you experience flood damage.

Home can be impacted by the damaging waters of a flood due to a number of causes. Heavy rains cause flooding typically, such as from a hurricane or another severe or torrential storm. Flooding may also occur due to a major plumbing issue or for other reasons. The unfortunate truth is that standing or rising water inside a home can cause a significant amount of water in a short period of time. There is often a need to remove the water quickly, if possible. Then, the significant task of flood damage repair can begin. Finding the right company to perform the repair work is important, and you should pay attention to a few points to find the best company for the job.

The Type of Services Available

When water enters your home, it can impact almost every surface. Drywall and wood features can become warped and may even rot or decompose. Fabrics and upholstery may become stained and moldy. Electrical work may go on the fritz. These are just a few of the ways that water can impact a home, and all will need to be remedied before the repair work can be completed. Some items may be salvaged, but others will need to be fixed or replaced. The best results will be from a company that is focused on restoring the property to its former condition or better in a timely manner. The company may need to offer water remediation services if water is still in the home, and advanced equipment should be used to ensure thorough results. In addition, a full approach to repair work, including working with your insurance company to file a claim, is important.

A Certified Company

While there may be several companies in your local area that offer repair services, the fact is that you do not want to trust just any company with this important project. Instead, you want to work with a certified company that has a great reputation. Look for a company that is affiliated with or certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, or IICRC. The certification to look for is the Cleantrust certification. In addition, while you should act quickly to schedule service with a flood damage repair company, you should also spend a few minutes reading consumer reviews to determine if the company is known for providing fast, quality work.

An Immediate Response with Focused Effort

When you contact a Gloucester Township restoration company for assistance, you should inquire about availability. The company ideally will offer around-the-clock service if you are dealing with a flooding issue in your home. You typically only have a number of hours to dry out the home before the potential risk for mold growth increases, so a timely response is imperative. In addition, inquire about the steps the company will take to follow through on the work and about what finished results you should expect and the anticipated time frame. Flood damage repair can be significant, and the process may be lengthy. However, the company should be focused on working on your home until the work is completed.


At the first sign of a flood in your home, you should begin searching for a reputable company to use for flood damage repair services. When you focus on these factors, you can expect superior results.

Mold Damage Restoration

3/22/2017 (Permalink)

Mold in Sicklerville, NJ

Have you found evidence of mold contamination in various areas of your home? Did you know that it may not be possible for you to control the spread of mold spores all by yourself?

When you discover mold damage in your Gloucester Township home, there are a few things you should know. Beginning with, we are available if you determine that your situation is out of control and you need professional assistance. SERVPRO technicians would like to help educate you more about why mold exists and how it makes its way into your home. It is a constant part of our environment; microscopic spores exist in the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, and almost every facet of our environment.

Mold is rather harmless in small quantities; it only becomes harmful when we provide it with the correct conditions to multiply. However, you should also know that it is impossible to remove it from your home entirely. You can limit the exposure that you experience by properly maintaining and controlling the different water sources that exist in your home.

At SERVPRO we highly suggest that if you discover a water-damaged area in your home, that you find the water source, clean and dry the affected area, or immediately seek help. You need to act quickly; mold only needs 24-48 hours to begin spreading. Your entire home could become infested before you realize what has happened. Mold spores can reach areas that you cannot see and make your situation extremely hard to control.

If you are only facing small patches of mold growth, you can likely handle the job yourself. However, anything larger than three square feet is entirely different. Attempting to handle large contaminated areas could cause you to spread the infection even further, without even knowing. Choosing to hire a professional, like SERVPRO, is the best option.

If you notice that your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system contains mold, you need to shut the system off entirely and seek professional cleaning services immediately. Running the system could cause you to spread the contamination, everywhere. When you are facing a mold damage situation and need professional help, contact SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township at 856-227-7800.

Fire and the resulting smoke from such a destructive force can cause damage to all areas of your home, not just the ground zero location of the fire

Fire and the resulting smoke from such a destructive force can cause damage to all areas of your home, not just the ground zero location of the fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the costs of direct property damage as a result of house fires has increased since 2011. 2015 saw $7 billion worth of damage.

Reasons To Never Extend The Cleaning Process Post-Fire
When a fire has occurred in your home, it is crucial to call a fire cleanup and restoration expert like SERVPRO right away to respond to your emergency.

Right after a fire, soot and ash begin to settle onto every surface in your home, from floor to ceiling. Porous materials may experience permanent discoloration, but many other surfaces in your home can be cleaned and saved if you take immediate action.

Within only a few hours, all of the surfaces in your home can be affected by the fire and smoke damage. Your furniture will likely need refinishing or heavy cleaning, the metals in your home begin to rust and corrode, your walls will start to discolor, and even far away from the fire, clothing in your closet and bedding will become affected. To avoid permanent staining from the acidic soot and smoke, take immediate action after a fire. Also, the longer your belongings and structure remain untreated after a fire, the longer the restoration process will be and could end up costing you more due to permanently damaged furniture and structural pieces.

SERVPRO Technicians are Certified to Remediate Your Mold Damage Problem

3/18/2017 (Permalink)

Mold in Stratford, NJ

The prospect of having mold remediation specialists enter your home and set up decontamination areas is the stuff of science fiction movies for the most part. If you have never experienced extensive mold damage before, it will be an entirely new process. And yes, it can look a little strange at first.

The reality, however, is that containment booths and decontamination areas are a lot less dramatic than they seem. They are very common, and they really are not designed to protect homeowners at all. The primary purpose of mold containment is to protect the property. Mold damage in Gloucester Township homes can spread very quickly if left unchecked.

This guide to the containment procedures used by SERVPRO will tell you a little more about what to expect.

What Does Containment Look Like?

The level of containment will depend entirely on the extent of the problem. Usually, however, we only set up small areas and cause minimal disruption to daily routines. If the mold damage is spreading across a bedroom wall, for example, the SERVPRO team may need to establish a containment perimeter around the room.

While this does mean that you will not be able to enter, there is no danger to worry about. Containment prevents mold spores from being carried out of the space and into other areas of the home. The technicians will wear special PPE suits and footwear, which are treated to neutralize spores every time that they exit the perimeter.

There will be clear polyethylene sheets set up around the affected area. They may be hung over doorways, across carpets, and along ceilings in some cases. If items or materials are removed from the containment space, they will be wrapped in this plastic first. Once again, it can look a little strange, but the SERVPRO team will discuss any concerns that you might have.

What Happens Inside the Containment Area?

The processes carried out inside the containment area are no different to those that are used on any other mold remediation job. The use of polyethylene sheets simply helps to maintain certain drying conditions. The technicians will set up dehumidifiers, negative air movers, and possibly ozone generators to deal with the source of the damp.

It may be necessary to keep some of the machines (such as fans) running constantly over a period of days. You will be informed of this, and the experts will be on site regularly to check progress.

Don’t let mold and mold damage take over your home. Get in touch with the experts at SERVPRO of Blackwood / Gloucester Township. We are experienced, highly skilled, and provide excellent customers service. Call us 24/7 at 856-227-7800

SERVPRO ERP Benefits Commercial Businesses

3/18/2017 (Permalink)

The ERP system allows you to create customized profiles for each business location so that we can respond appropriately and calculate damages.

One of SERVPRO's newest innovations is its ERP (Emergency Ready Profile) system, which enables a business owner to upload individualized portfolios of each business and location under his or her jurisdiction to our servers. With easy access to this information, we can obtain critical info before technicians arrive at the site, saving precious time in sensitive situations such as floods. Most businesses benefit from the system simply due to our faster response times and expanded knowledge of the situation, but these types of businesses may see added bonuses from utilizing the system. Call us today at 856-227-7800 and we can develop an ERP for your building.

Buildings with Complex Layouts

Businesses with unusual or complicated building layouts can sometimes suffer from delayed water extraction and treatment as our technicians struggle to establish safety baselines and find critical points in the building. With an ERP, we can store blueprints and layouts remotely, cutting time spent on navigating and searching for points such as water mains and electrical breakers.

Mold "Removal" v Remediation

1/17/2017 (Permalink)

Got Mold?

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy.

A qualified restoration company understands the science behind mold and mold growth. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business. Mold remediation focuses on getting mold levels back to normal, natural levels.

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. To learn more about our mold remediation process.

  • Step 1: Emergency Contact 856-227-7800
  • Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
  • Step 3: Mold Containment
  • Step 4: Air Filtration
  • Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
  • Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Belongings
  • Step 7: Restoration

  • When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

    • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
    • Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
    • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants and have the potential to cause other health effects. 
    • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
    • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
    • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

It is a way to keep track of who the key decision makers are, a listing of all utility shutoff locations and an overview of the buildings use, size, content and floor finishing's. These plans can help minimize the damage after an emergency and help get the building back to "Like it never even happened." Call Lynne today at 856-227-7800 and she can help develop a no cost plan for your building today.

Spring Cleaning

5/6/2016 (Permalink)

The days are getting longer and the temps hotter, and that means it's time you get your AC ready for summer


Spring is in the air and while we are all busy dusting, mopping, and cleaning away the winter blues, a lot of us are missing a very important part of our spring cleaning regimen and that is our air conditioning system.  When is the last time you had your ducts cleaned?  Is it even necessary?  Here are some facts:

Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. In a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living. Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home. The system takes air in and breathes air out.

Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the duct work.

While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may be contributing to larger health issues or harboring contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders or some environmental allergies.

Energy Savings

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted. Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause it to work harder and shorten the life of your system. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through normal use.

When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the temperature you desire. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness.

Call us today at 856-227-7800 for your free estimate and to schedule your duct and carpet cleanings for businesses and homes today! If you mention this blog post we will change your air filter at no additional cost!

Happy Earth Day!

4/22/2016 (Permalink)

We deal with a lot of negative impacts of fire and water, but today, we celebrate all aspects of nature #EarthDay

It is a cloudy, but wonderful day to celebrate our planet!  Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22, which is also the Vernal Equinox. This is a day with various events worldwide to help promote the importance of environmental protection. At SERVPRO we have an enviornmentally friendly green line of chemicals that can be used at your request.  Other ways we try to help the Earth is by recycling, avoiding bottled drinks, and reducing water and energy consumption at our warehouse and in our homes. In our business we are putting the emphasis on using washable towels rather than one time use paper towels when we clean. This holiday is wonderful for raising awareness and reminding everyone that even the little steps will help our future generations! #EARTHDAY
