Structural Drying

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Super Restoration is the company to call when flood, tornadoes, storms or burst pipes have caused excessive moisture and water to soak the walls and floors of your home or office. This is not a situation that can be fixed with do-it-yourself measures even though you have done everything you can. The water mains are turned off, the storm is passed but now you have to deal with the consequences. You need professional help with the equipment to dry all the different sections of the structure as well as treat the mold and mildew that will have started forming immediately.

Structural drying is required as soon as possible after a water disaster. The longer the time laps from the flood, the larger the damaged area becomes because mold and rot will continue to grow and spread into other areas. Saturated building materials need to be removed as quickly as possible and the remaining structure needs to be dried to prevent collapse. Quick mitigation of water damaged structures will ultimately reduce the expenses for rebuilding as well as the costs to the insurance company.

Super Restoration knows buildings in South Florida and what is the best way for structural drying and mitigation. They know what materials need to be immediately extracted and what can be dried in place. They know where and how to make openings in walls, ceilings and floors so internal areas can be thoroughly dried. Their equipment includes dryers, fans and dehumidifiers to dry every corner. Some areas may not look like they have been affected by the moisture but Super Restoration knows that the building materials may have become moist, just enough to start growing mold and mildew, even if they don’t look wet or were not directly affected by the flood.

There is no guesswork for Super Restoration. They provide accurate documentation concerning your home or business which includes moisture readings, digital photos, a complete written report of everything they did and infrared images all of which are standard procedure that will give you the confidence that the job was correctly done. These documents will help you later if faulty workmanship is the cause of your troubles.

Every day they are working to mitigate your damage they will use infrared imaging to be sure all of the moisture is gone.

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 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.

Super Restoration Can Restore Documentation Ruined by Water

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Hello,

Water damage can happen to a home or business at any time. Spills and water leaks are actually quite common. Any resulting loss of vital documentation can have serious consequences. Document restoration means the recovery of information or data from books, papers, and other forms of media that have sustained water damage. Super Restoration can recover important information from documentation damaged by water. Our goal is to restore the document and all of the information it contains to prime condition . Where possible, Super Restoration will return books, papers, and other forms of documentation to a condition that is safe and ready for use.

Many laws require businesses to retain, or maintain, information for a number of years. A copy isn’t appropriate for many forms of documentation such as signed business contracts, tax records, and legal files. Paper documentation that has been damaged by water will stick together and certainly be damaged when it’s pulled apart. Mold will begin to grow on the documentation if it is left to air dry, destroying important information. Those handling documentation that has become moldy are exposed to elevated health risks. Paper documentation will become brittle and subject to damage if it’s left to air dry. Losing vital documentation can cause serious problems for normal business activity. In a worst-case scenario, a company affected by water damage could be forced to go out of business.

Super Restoration utilizes the most modern equipment, technology, and advanced techniques to achieve the best restoration and data recovery possible. Some techniques used to recover documents damaged by water include desiccant drying, refrigerated desiccant drying, and freeze drying. Desiccant drying is accomplished in a sealed container using substances that are hygroscopic in nature. Hygroscopic substances attract molecules of water from their surrounding environment through absorption or adsorption. Adsorption is the sticking of the water molecules to the substance. Freeze drying is a dehydration process. The wet material is frozen to a temperature between minus fifty degrees to minus eighty degrees Celsius. Pressure is reduced and enough heat is added to allow the frozen water particles to evaporate.

Super Restoration specializes in emergency property restoration and recovery. We provide full service solutions with our state-of-the-art facilities. Super Restoration has On-Site Disaster Recovery Teams who are extremely capable and ready to serve your document and data restoration and recovery needs.

Super Restoration Can Restore Your Property Promptly

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Hello fellow readers,

Whenever a building undergoes a large amount of damage, one always wonders if restoring the building to its previous state is even possible or even affordable. Luckily, there are companies out there that specialize in house restoration, specifically of this nature. Super Restoration does just this, offering to do remediation on mold, fire, and water damaging that can be caused in your home or place of business.

Whether you have experienced a flood or a plumbing leak, Super Restoration will come and extract the water, using the latest equipment to free your building of this horrible inconvenience. Also, they provide mitigation services to prevent any mold or further damage being done. The debris will be removed from the premise and the windows boarded up while the structural drying takes place. This will prevent mold and toxins in the air from forming that could potentially cause health problems with anyone in the building.

When you find large amounts of mold in building, it needs to be taken care of immediately. Mold can cause various health problems and be a real disturbance in day to day life. In order to take care of this, Super Restoration will access the area, determining how much mold is truly there, and remove the contaminated items. After testing for and removing the moisture still in the room, they will seal off the surface where the mold has grown to prevent anything further from growing.

One of the specialties of Super Restoration is fire remediation. This means that all damage caused by a fire, both smoke and soot damage, needs to be taken care of before a building involved in a fire can be considered habitable, once again. We take careful steps, using specialized vacuums and our own personalized techniques to remove the smoke and soot damage. We will remove all the burned debris in order to best to be able to complete this process. Afterward, HEPA air scrubbing treatments will be used to deodorize the room and clean the air of toxins still lingering. It is the attention to detail that really makes this company special.

Remember, if you have an emergency, the restoration needs to begin immediately. These types of remediation processes are not something to be taken lightly. Super Restoration looks forward to helping you with your remediation needs so you can get back to rebuilding your own life, and not just your house or business.

Thank You
