Document Restoration by Super Restoration

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Super Restoration is a company that provides many services that can help residences and businesses in the event of water or fire damage. One of the services that most people will want to highly consider in the occurrence of one of these unfortunate events is document restoration.

Documents that Super Restoration are experts in restoring include books, micrographic and magnetic media, and personal and business documents. They achieve exceptional results in document restoration by the use of the latest technology, equipment, and methods available. Super Restoration has an On-Site Disaster Recovery team at the ready, as well as their own advanced facilities, whenever fire or water damage plagues your home or business.

Super Restoration offers the most advanced techniques in document restoration following water damage, which includes freeze-drying, desiccant drying under refrigeration, and traditional desiccant drying. Their consultants will work with you to come up with the most cost effective approach for your situation. Their goal is to recover the original document as well as all the information contained on it and return it to a stable condition, as well as make the document safe for handling whenever possible.

The document restoration services supplied by Super Restoration are especially important for businesses, as much of the company’s hard copy information is required by law to be retained for a specific period of time. In the case of signed documents or other cases where duplicates or copies are not adequate, document restoration may be the only solution. Statistics show that businesses that lose 60 percent or more of their information go out of business within six months.

In the event that documents have been damaged by water, any untreated documents could end up sticking together, and information on the documents can be destroyed by the presence of mold. The presence of mold could also lead to health risks due to the release of mold spores. In the event that black or gray water is involved, this could also lead to viral or bacterial infection.

Documents that have been affected by fire that are left untreated may become brittle from the effects of acidic residues in the smoke. These untreated documents will then continue to contaminate the area they are kept in with odor and smoke, which will also affect the person handling the documents.

To avoid these problems and get the documents you need restored to the best possible condition, contacting Super Restoration may be the most sensible solution.

Super Restoration Can Service All Your Water Extraction and Mitigation Needs

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Fire is one of a mankind’s biggest fears. While water damage usually doesn’t rank high on a person’s concerns, it can happen far more often than fire, and although the damage caused by fire typically is finished when the fire is out, water damage can continue to harm structures, businesses, homes and even people for years to come. Super Restoration’s high-tech specialists are ready 24 hours a day 7 days a week to respond to your water extraction and mitigation needs.

The problem with water damage is that many people try to take care of it themselves. While they may be able to remove the water they see and things look and feel dry, many times water has penetrated the structure into places they can’t see. Without being able to properly determine if things are really dry, they often stop, and that is a major mistake because soon mold and mildew will begin to grow where it can be seen. Additionally, the remaining water in the structure can continue to cause structural damage, unseen to the owner’s eyes. Super Restoration has the correct equipment that can check the moisture levels in every area and to also thoroughly remove water from and dry hidden places.

Time is of the essence when water damage has occurred. If the property owner is lucky, it happens when someone is onsite and can help prevent its spread. Often it happens at night or when people are not there, whether it is due to rain water, floodwaters, broken plumbing, or even hurricane. Removing the water from the structure as soon as possible to help prevent further damage is Super Restoration’s specialty. They have worked with thousands of people in the South Florida area to help them save their property from continued damage due to water encroachment. Their staff of professionals have not only the necessary training, they also have the experience that is needed to assess and properly service any situation, whether it is a basement parking area or a penthouse on the 80th floor of a building.

No matter what the situation or the cause, water damage is something that, if not taken care of quickly and professionally, can be a major headache for many property owners. Instead of rolling the dice and trying to take care of it by themselves, property owners should call a professional, and in the South Florida area, the best choice is Super Restoration.

Tips on How to Avoid Water Damage in the Home

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Water damage is something that many homeowners seldom think about during their day to day lives. It can happen to anyone except them, they believe, and so there is no reason to worry or ponder about it. But the truth is nobody is safe from unattractive occurrences. Thankfully, it can be stopped before it starts. If you follow the below tips, you may very well save your home from water damage.

Did you know that rain could become trapped on your roof? This is especially true in areas that experience heavy rain falls. But don’t panic and feel like there is nothing that can be done about it. It’s simple. Simply put in gutter guards for the gutters on your roof. That way, nothing can get stuck; it should slide right off the roof and prevent the water from causing any damage to the structure. Be sure to also remove debris such as leaves and sticks.

Are you going away for the weekend, or perhaps a whole week? Before you pack in that last bottle of emergency suntan lotion or start the motor for the car, think about shutting off the supply of water to your washing machine, be it in the basement or other common area in the home. It may seem strange but this is a precaution you should consider, especially if you don’t want an unexpected flooding of the room when you get back. This also works if you want to be able to tell if there could be any leakage. This is done by checking water levels while the washing machine is not on.

You absolutely must do frequent inspections for mold. Mold is a sign of water damage, along with rust. The basement, attic or even bathrooms are prime spots for these problems to exist, so be sure to check there first. Be thorough or you could miss a crucial problem.

Is your faucet dripping all night? Does your toilet not flush properly? Have them fixed as soon as possible. If you don’t think they can be fixed, by all means, replace them.

I hope you enjoyed these tips on how to avoid water damage in the home, until next time. When seconds matter, call SuperRestoration!

What to do after a Fire? Call SuperRestoration

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Experiencing a fire in a home or business is certain to be upsetting — perhaps even terrifying. Even after the immediate danger is over, the aftermath may be distressing. There are two parts to fire damage: actual damages caused by the fire itself, smoke, or soot, and water damage in trying to put the fire out. At SuperRestoration we’ve seen it all and we know better than most companies what a trying time this can be for a commercial or residential property owner in Miami.

Most of my customers are unaware of the affects of a fire. In either home or businesses, soot and smoke can mar the walls, ceilings and furniture, and water can soak upholstered furniture, dampen drywall and carpets, and spoil books. Left untreated, water can encourage growth of mold or mildew, particularly in drywall and carpets, which may then require complete replacement, unless a company like SuperRestoration is called and we act quickly.

Some structures may even be considered too damaged to make it worth repairing, but not with if a professional mitigation service like the one SuperRestoration offers is applied. Fire damage in homes can threaten personal belongings, such as photographs and clothes. Even if damage from the actual fire or from water is minimal, the smell of smoke can be overwhelming, particularly in clothing, and is difficult to remove. Having the proper mitigation services executed in time is key to preserving your valuables.

When faced with the destruction a fire causes, it can be tempting just to throw up one’s hands in despair. The damage may seem overwhelming and severe; it may seem that nothing can be saved, or that what can be saved is not worth it. While some items may not be able to be repaired or restored by fire restoration services, if the item has not been actually burned, most items can be saved, we’ve been providing this service to customers for over 25 years. Fire damage restoration companies use a variety of time tested techniques to help them salvage things damaged by fire, SuperRestoration uses top notch equipment to get you back to normal.

It can be a very expensive undertaking to replace most if not all of the contents of a house or a business. Clothing alone can cost thousands of dollars, not to mention artwork, desks, chairs and other things. Some photographs, documents and memorabilia are irreplaceable — but not necessarily irreparable. Experts at SuperRestoration have the knowledge, skills and equipment necessary to restore and repair your belongings for much less than it would cost to replace them. Even soot-covered clothes and furniture that reek of smoke can be rescued. It really does save time, money and hassle to get the experts to restore things damaged by fire, give us a call and let us help you!

Questions and Answers on Water Damage

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Hello reader,

When I am out on the field, I am often asked what kind of different issues create the worse type of water damage in residential and commercial property? The second most important question I get asked is what can be done to prevent any further damage before a company like SuperRestoration.com arrives on the scene?

Well, its not a very easy question to answer but I’ll do my best and offer you some quick and easy solutions.  

Most water damage emergencies result from a cracked or broken water pipe. Excessive damage occurs when an emergency company like ours isn’t called fast enough or when the property owner isn’t prepared to take the proper measures. I like to encourage all of my customers to have our phone number ready and be prepared should disaster strike. In the case of a broken water pipe, I direct all of my customers to shut off the main valve. This simple piece of advice will save you tons of money and headaches. Most property owners in the midst of a crisis don’t consider the this step and cause further damage to their property. Don’t make the same error and avoid not being prepared. Know where the main valve is located and always be ready should this type of incident occur.

The second most important thing to do in this type of crisis is to call us immediately at 1800 516 8059 and allow us to help you mitigate your damage. If we get on the scene soon enough and act quickly, we can not only mitigate your property damage but avoid you having to pay high costs in damages in the future. Most property owners don’t realize that taking the proper measures is key to avoiding a huge loss of furniture, documents and structural damage.  So when seconds matter, don’t be nervous, be prepared and call Super Restoration at 1 800 516 8059.

Thank You
