Pack-Outs

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

When disasters, such as floods or fires, strike, the interior of a home or business can sustain severe water or smoke damage. In these cases, office equipment and personal belongings are often in states of disarray and disrepair. This is why the pack-out procedure is often a critical component of the renewal process. When Super Restoration begins the maintenance process, they must consider these items before any other work can commence.

As part of the pack-out, trained technicians catalogue every item in the home or office before removing them. Technicians document the item in both written and photographic form. Then the on-site manager that is coordinating the pack-out double-checks the item before it goes to the transport. During this process, pack-out technicians are working under the guidance of a range of experts, such as electronic technicians and hygienists. This way  Super Restoration can consider every factor before the item leaves the home or office. It also allows them to give immediate attention to those items that require it.

From the moment of departure, the homeowner or business owner has full access to the detailed documentation of their belongings and equipment. These items will now be en route to the company’s cleaning and storage facility. Once there, warehouse technicians immediately enter the items into the restoration process so that is absolutely no delay prior to the cleaning and deodorization process beginning.  Super Restoration will also handle the disposal of all items that the disaster has ruined beyond repair.

Belongings and office equipment are loaded onto the transport room by room. They are unloaded and entered into the renewal process in this manner as well. In this way, the restoration service can maintain the items, if storage is required, or return the items to the customer in the simplest and most logical manner. A premier restoration service, such as Super Restoration, understands that their customers are often in no position to take all of their items back immediately. They also understand their need for clothing and work items. As part of the pack-out process, laundry, dry-cleaning and expediting services are often included.

The Dangers of Water, Mold and Fire Damage

Monday, April 12th, 2010

 Even the most cautious and prepared homeowners may find themselves in a position of having standing water in their home. There’s only so much you can to protect your home from hurricanes and regional flooding. Pipes can burst unexpectedly, even when you are away on vacation. And when a house has standing water, mold is the next course of evolution. Unless the water is thoroughly and properly dried, mold can be left with a prime surface for growing. Often unseen and undetected, the spores released can migrate through carpets and soft sheetrock walls, causing serious physical ailments. Even with smoke alarms and other preventions in place, your home can still fall victim to fire. Defective appliances can find their way into any home and kitchen accidents can happen even with the most careful chefs at work. Whether the tragedy affecting your home is water, mold or fire damage, Super Restoration can help you rescue your home.

Water will take the easiest path of travel. This is a well-known fact. What people don’t always realize is that the easiest path of travel may well be straight up a sheetrock wall. When standing water is present in a home, it can easily wick up the sheetrock, creating further damage. It will spread quickly through carpets and into any lower levels. It may seem like a simple matter to dry the floor, but getting the underlying padding and subfloor dry can pose a greater challenge. Yet drying these hidden areas fully and quickly is vital to preventing the growth of mold. Super Restoration will respond to your call quickly, with the right equipment to clear the water and moisture from your home.

Southern Florida has warm temperatures and high humidity, which encourages the growth of mold to begin with. Once mold establishes itself in a home it does not take long to spread and cause extensive damage. With Super Restoration you can rest assured that the mold will not be given the chance to take hold. Any existing mold will be thoroughly and safely removed and the areas cleaned.

In addition to checking all affected areas for mold, the subfloor, structural materials and crawl spaces must be inspected for damage. Rot that occurs due to water damage can continue to spread even after the standing water is removed. And anyplace that remains even slightly damp afterwards can easily become a breeding ground for potentially toxic mold. Trust Super Restoration to check your home so that you won’t have to worry about hidden damage.

Fire can completely destroy a home. But even a small kitchen fire that you were able to extinguish with your home extinguisher can leave behind serious challenges. Smoke and soot can leave an unhealthy film on appliances and furnishings that can create breathing problems. Sheetrock walls can absorb the smoke, causing further damage and a smell that persists long after the fire was put out. The smoke can also react with metal building materials in the house, creating unsafe conditions. Super Restoration specializes in clearing soot and smoke from your home, leaving you with a fresh, safe, clean environment.

Water, mold and fire have the potential to make your home uninhabitable. When tragedy strikes your home, call Super Restoration so that you can rest easy knowing that your house will be clean, safe and secure for many more years to come.

Super Restoration is the Leader in Storm Damage Repair

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Storm damage can be unexpected and can seriously devastate a home. Water damage may not sound very threatening, but it can cause structural issues, ruin drywall and flooring, and if not removed properly, lead to rot and health threatening mold and mildew. If your home has been damaged by a storm, or has suffered damage from another unexpected natural disaster such as flooding or a fire, calling the right professional restoration team makes all the difference. In the Miami Dade area, Super Restoration is the expert to contact.

Super Restoration has the experience, knowledge, and tools to fully restore any home after a storm has caused damage. Many homeowners assume that their local contractor, who may have repaired their home in the past, can extract the water and repair any damage. But most contractors lack the experience and knowledge to fully extract water, and may not know where to check for hidden or unexpected damage. They simply aren’t prepared to handle the many challenges of storm damage like Super Restoration is.

Water from a storm can be full of toxins, bacteria, and even sewage from line breaks can become trapped behind walls or under flooring. By delaying the proper clean up treatments, even by a day or two, the damage can multiply. Structural damage may be present that is hard to identify, and mold and mildew only need hours to develop in a warm environment. Flooring, drywall, and treasured items are often the first to succumb to water, but if you call Super Restorations as quickly as possible, our trained technicians can work to save your possessions and restore your home.

When we arrive at a home that has been damaged by a storm, we immediately go to work stabilizing the environment and working to board up or cover any openings that will let in more containment or water. Once the building is secure, Super Restoration technicians bring in the state of the art dehumidify and sterilization equipment that makes our methods so effective.
Once the water has been removed, we check the structure thoroughly for additional damage, or hidden pockets of water. We also check for any mold, mildew, or bacteria growths that may have occurred. If we find them, our containment and treatment methods immediately stop the spread of spores or contaminants and remove the problem. We work to quickly and completely clean and repair your home, so you can return to it in a matter of days or weeks, instead of months.

Fire. What is Smoke and Soot Removal

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Super Restoration has the trained professional staff that can save property that has been smoke or soot damaged and also reconstructs part of the damaged building. They are ready 24 hours for emergency service fire damage clean-up for the smallest to the largest fire damage. They have the best cleaning supplies in the industry and the technicians with the most experience in every kind of soot and smoke removal, so each unique job is done right.

Soot and smoke removal is done by many companies but Super Restoration knows the right way to remove it from drywall, wiring or steel supports so that the terrible and toxic odor and floating particles that make it dangerous to breathe are removed and the house becomes safe for children, pets and you. It is important to call Super Restoration as soon as possible after the fire because they need to assess the extent of the damage and see the exact process needed to clean it and how long it will take. Another aspect of smoke removal is the odor. It gets imbedded in fabrics and other porous materials and shampoo and deodorizer is not the answer. Each surface needs a different process. Super Restoration has several techniques including hot and wet fogging smoke-damaged areas, ozone treatment and High Efficiency Particulate Air scrubbing.

Super Restoration has specialized technicians that use vacuums especially designed for this purpose. They have been in the business for 25 years and have restored and cleaned thousands of offices and residents creating a clean and safe environment again. Super Restoration has licensed and bonded contractors who will make necessary repairs as they clean the soot and smoke damage. The fire may be out but there is still burned material in the structure and many people don’t realize that one of the most critical steps to mitigate the damage is to remove any remaining burned material. This will prevent soot production later when it may break off or start to float into the air again. This type of work needs a professional contractor because it involves restoration of the structure. Smoke and soot mitigation needs to be done right the first time.

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.

Student in danger of health issues due to mold

Monday, January 4th, 2010

A college student had just bought an apartment near his campus and about 2 weeks later began to feel ill. He felt shortness of breath, runny nose, and itchy eyes. He looked online for many reasons to why he may have these symptoms and realized he have mold in his home. He called our 24- hour emergency service line, and an appointment was set up with one of our certified mold inspectors. Upon inspecting the apartment, the inspector found a few issues that can be leading to a compromised indoor air conditioning and potential mold concerns.

First, the air conditioning unit seemed to not be operating correctly due to condensation noticed around the air conditioning vents. In addition, 2 windows in the family room were leaking and the carpet was humid due to water intrusion from the outside. Tests were performed and a plan of action/protocol was drawn up to begin remediation work, 2 months later, the college student is now free of symptoms and excelling in school.

Air Purifying in Offices

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Ozone, a gas composed of three oxygen atoms bonded together, has been protecting us from harmful ultraviolet light generated by the sun for the last 600 million years. Indeed, the human-generated holes in the stratospheric ozone layer are a leading concern for the EPA, which has banned substances and adopted the Montreal Protocol to protect what is left of the ozone layer. The goal of this treaty is to, in time, restore the protective layer of ozone in the atmosphere; the holes are even now showing signs of closure, though it will take years to complete the restoration.

Not all Ozone is good, though. Ground level ozone, when combined with volatile organic compounds, such as those found in gasoline and paints, and nitrogen oxides released through the burning of fossil fuels creates smog, a pollutant known to cause serious health problems. As smog levels rise in cities across the world, hospitals are seeing increased complaints of lung irritation, wheezing, coughing, and painful breathing, all symptoms directly related to the inhalation of ozone and smog. The Great Smog of 1952 killed, directly or indirectly, over 11,000 Londoners. This lead to Parliament’s passage of Clean Air Act is to reduce pollution, making London’s famous “pea soupers” a thing of the past.

While great strides have been made to protect the public from ground level ozone and smog, more needs to be done. Indoor exposure to ozone gas can, according to the EPA, reach 100 times outdoor levels. New studies show, too, that chemical compounds on a person’s skin can react with ozone in the atmosphere around it, releasing chemical byproducts that may be harmful to humans. In an office environment this is an especially pressing concern, as a major source of ozone is office equipment running on electrical or chemical processes, such as copiers and laser printers.

There are, though, ways to reduce office ozone levels; some business machines can be equipped with ozone filters to reduce the levels of gas emitted, and services exist to purify the air in businesses currently experiencing problems. Investing in one of these options is a great way to ensure a healthy, productive workforce for the future.

Fradulent Inspectors

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Are you worried about the damage mold may be doing to your home? After a major flood, a home that had flood water come in has a large chance of experiencing significant and dangerous mold damage. The fumes from this mold can put entire families in jeopardy, as well as driving down home values and leaving residents displaced. When looking for a professional to inspect your home for mold, it is absolutely essential to research the business you are preparing to work with.


After the flooding, local news station WLKY uses the article located at http://www.wlky.com/news/20402064/detail.html to talk about problems with mold issues leading to a large upswing in fraudulent mold inspectors. These predators take advantage of Kentucky’s lack of licensing requirements for mold inspection contractors to prey on unsuspecting home owners by claiming to do thorough inspections they do not have the skills to perform. Unfortunately, there is no immediate way for a homeowner to know a good inspector from a fraud without doing the right research in advance.

To make sure the mold inspection service you are planning to hire is legitimate; a good first resource is the Better Business Bureau. This service allows customers to file a complaint against a business they have trouble with and makes these complaints public; giving you a warning if other people have had trouble with a mold inspection or restoration service before you hire them to deal with your mold issue. Because Kentucky doesn’t have a licensing requirement for mold services, the BBB is your best defense against fraudulent inspectors.

By using the Better Business Bureau to check for fraudulent companies, you can protect yourself from hiring a mold inspection and restoration service that may fail to completely find or remove mold from your home and leave your family in danger. Super Restoration has a solid track record of customer satisfaction in the BBB database that can be found at http://www.seflorida.bbb.org/Business-Report/Super-Restoration-Service-Co-34001939, should be your first stop for proper and safe mold inspection and removal.

The Importants Of Structural Drying After A Flood

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Super Restoration offers South Florida the fastest and most thorough structural drying. Structural drying is necessary after any water intrusion, whether it be from a burst pipe or a hurricane. By quick and effective action, Super Restoration can save your home from more damage.

There are many way that water can get into your home. South Florida is certainly no stranger to strong storms and rapid flooding. Also, poor workmanship and failing equipment can cause appliances and fixtures in you home to leak water. However the water gets in, it is vital to act quickly to stop the leak and dry the area out.

Structural Drying is very important because more damage can be caused by water after it has gotten into your home. If the water is not removed quickly and the area dried, there can be mold growth, rot, and bad smells. Even if the water appear only to be on the floor, the walls can quickly wick it up, and this leads to structural damage.

Super Restoration has a time tested method of dealing with water intrusion. Infrared imaging cameras can read temperature changes in the area, and this, in turn, can reveal where the water is. Infrared imaging can also detect leaks that are invisible to the human eye. When evaluated by experts, infrared imaging is a powerful tool to find water problems in your structure.

After location and evaluating the water damage on your structure, Super Restoration quickly begins the drying process. Of course, the first step is to stop the leaks that were found. Then, using dryers, fans, and dehumidifiers, the next step is to get the water to evaporate as quickly as possible.

If there is water intrusion into the walls, demolition might be necessary. The baseboard will possibly need to be removed to get air flow into the edges of the room. If any insulation has gotten wet, this will have to be taken out. Thus, the walls might be cut open for air movement or repair of the interior. The wall will be repaired and repainted after the area is dried out.

Your insurance company may or may not cover your water damage–it will depend on your policy. However, Super Restoration has plenty of experience dealing with insurance companies and will provide detailed reports for insurance claims. If faulty workmanship is to blame, these reports will clearly reveal the necessary details for litigation. The complete written report will include digital photos and the moisture readings from the equipment.

Super Restoration is the best fire and water restoration company in south Florida. With 20 years experience, we know all of the methods necessary to make your home or business dry in the shortest time possible. We are available 24 hours a day because we know how vital it is to stop and dry a leak as soon as possible.

If you experience water intrusion from a leak or flooding, call Super Restoration immediately. We can help you get your life back to normal fast.
