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).

New Equipment for SERVPRO Blackwood

7/30/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO knows that staying on the cutting edge of technology in our industry will help our customers the most. That's why we add new equipment to our inventory on a regular basis. We are proud to be able to offer the best to our customers.

SERVPRO spends a tremendous amount of money on drying equipment for a very good reason. They dry quickly, effectively, and safely.  The importance of having industrial equipment to keep your home safe and dry. 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.”


If you experience water damage or suspect mold in your home or business call SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township 856-227-7800. We are here to help.

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!

Meet Lynne, our Marketing Manager. Lynne is a long-time Gloucester Township resident, graduating from Highland High School and calling Blackwood her home along with her husband and three children. Lynne enjoys her position marketing, as it gives her an excellent opportunity to meet residents and business owners in her hometown.

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.

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
