How a Restoration Company Can Help with Water, Fire, and Mold Damage to Carpet

Monday, September 6th, 2010
Water damage to carpet will be inevitable for many people. With the amount of pipes that burst during winter seasons, or just faulty water pipes in general, homes and businesses can be affected with massive amounts of damage. There is also fire damage that can happen if a home or a business catches on fire. When water is left in carpet for a long period of time, mold can start to set in, and a home can be a dangerous and toxic place to be in. Most water damaged carpets in small areas can be taken care of with a water filtration vacuum cleaner, but if a person’s entire house is damaged, or if a business has many floors of water damaged carpet, they are going to need a better recourse. Restoration companies were created to help homes and businesses save their property from massive amounts of water, fire, flood, and mold damage to carpet.

Restoration companies can bring carpets back from the brink by returning carpets back to their original conditions. Most restoration companies are equipped to help homes and businesses that have been affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, rainstorms, mudslides, monsoons, and windstorms, as well as burst pipes, sewer damage, fires, and explosions. No job is too big for most restoration companies. The areas of a home or business that a restoration company can work with are, fire damage, burned walls, clean up, restore, recover, redesign, and reconstruction. Restoration companies have the most state of the art equipment that can perform a dry down of a home or business when water damage has occurred. Their equipment can extract water from any carpet and floor boards underneath. Then,they will use a combination of demolitions, drying equipment, and air movers to further the restoration process. They are also equipped with infra red cameras that can find water damage that is unseen by most people. Once a home or business has been dried down, the recovery stage can take place. This is where the carpet will be restored, redesigned, and reconstructed.

Once a home or a business has been accessed for damages, a restoration company can have carpet back to new again within a few days time. Getting to the water damaged areas as quick as possible will help to save a home or a business from destruction.

Cleaning Soot from Porous and Non-Porous Items

Friday, August 20th, 2010
Cleaning soot from porous and non-porous items is a major task. Soot is a result of the incomplete combustion of wood, coal, diesel oil or other materials. Soot is normally found in the form of a black powdery substance consisting mainly of carbon. Soot will absorb energy from sunlight rather than reflect it thus it is seen as one of the main sources of global warming. This is particularly true if soot happens to settle on snow or ice. Soot particles in the air are a contributing cause for many respiratory illnesses. A common cause of soot is burning wood in a fireplace. Fire damage to residential and commercial properties will require the careful removal of soot during the clean-up process. Fire restoration services will often, due to the nature of the damage, necessitate the need for water and mold restoration in a simultaneous fashion.

Professional fire restoration services will be able to properly and completely clean and remove all soot from the premises. Removing soot from porous items is difficult but possible. Soot can penetrate into porous items due to the unique physical qualities of the surface of the item. Leaving the soot on these items can have drastic negative consequences. Chemical deposits can be left behind which can later be transferred into the air by heating and air conditioning systems and cause respiratory issues. Items that cannot be cleaned of soot completely should be discarded for this reason.

Non-porous items are generally easier to clean. Glass and other non-porous surfaces can normally be restored with appropriate cleaning equipment and supplies. The equipment utilized to clean up after a fire includes high tech Industrial ultrasonic equipment used to clean computers completely. High pressure water is another technique used on appropriate surfaces. The equipment and supplies utilized by professional restoration companies is intended to restore the residential or commercial property to living or working quality with no presence of soot.

Fire restoration services must be sought from a fully trained professional. Cleaning up after a fire is not the same thing as removing excess soot from a fireplace area.

Fire Damage!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

A fire can be frightening and downright devastating. The destruction caused by a fire can happen in a matter of minutes, leaving the home or business owner is a state of overwhelming shock. It’s important to note, however, that just because the fire is extinguished, that doesn’t mean that the structure is safe. Only restorative professionals such as Super Restoration can properly evaluate the damage caused by a blaze. Quick action will prevent further structural damage and protect the health and safety of those who occupy the home or business.

Not only is the overpowering odor displeasing to the nose, the smoke that caused the smell continues to do damage even after the fire is extinguished. If not immediately treated, permanent damage and discoloration could affect most of the items within the building.

Untreated smoke and fire damage to a building’s structure may not be noticed right away by the average person. Utility lines and wiring within the walls need to be checked for damage, evaluated for safety and immediately repaired. The roof of the structure can host embers and sparks that need to be identified right away. It is vital to allow a professional check all areas of the property.

Health dangers that follow a building fire include carcinogens and other hazardous materials that a fire can leave behind. Cleaning products, batteries, painting materials and other household products can become volatile when exposed to extreme heat and fire. The toxins left behind can cause serious health problems.

Proper treatment by a fire damage restoration professional should be sought out immediately. Waiting days or weeks can not only limit the salvation of the property, it can be downright dangerous. Fire damage restoration and neutralization is typically done in multiple phases. Ideally, treatment should begin within a few hours.

In South Florida, the potential for the home or business structure to develop mold and mildew after a fire is even greater than other areas of the country, thanks to the hot and humid climates we face daily. Microorganisms, fungi and bacteria can grow and spread very quickly in moist environments, particularly after a fire disaster.

Hiring Super Restoration for your fire damage immediately after a fire not only ensures the safety of the structure, but also the health of loved ones or business associates. Fighting fire damage doesn’t have to be a solitary feat. Let us, the professionals help pick up the pieces – and then start anew.
