Plainfield Mold Remediation that Provides Professional Results

4/13/2023 (Permalink)

SERVPRO understands mold and provides and instructs Plainfield area individuals in mold prevention and remediation.

SERVPRO Training Mitigates Home Mold Damage

Home mold damage requires three conditions to thrive:

  • Elevated moisture levels.
  • Porous materials to feed upon.
  • Adequate temperatures for generating new spores and clusters.

General cleaning tasks can keep microbes at bay for a long time. Still, accidents can occur that allow spores to grow in places Plainfield homeowners do not expect or typically examine. When they notice the proliferation, professional mold remediation is often needed to protect and restore the property.

Home mold cleanup by Plainfield SERVPRO technicians restores affected property and addresses the structural damage that enables mold growth. Commercial grade personal protective equipment (PPE) and restoration equipment are used per restoration industry best practices for remediation, containment, furniture and carpet cleaning, and structural repairs.

What are "Normal" Mold Spore Levels in a Room? 

Because total mold removal is not possible, homeowners should stay in the know about what spore levels are considered normal for a property. This "normal" rate might differ depending on the outdoor spore population around the home, so it is best to have a professional evaluate spore density. The concentration of outdoor spores can vary between 50 and 50,000 in air sample tests depending on climate, plant growth, and precipitation levels. An arid desert climate will have lower mold damage levels than Midwestern farmland and forests.

  • The average room typically has 200-500 spores living in it at any given time
  • One room can have up to 1500 spores inside and still be considered safe to swell in so long as there are no factors present, like water damage, that would allow them to spread
  • Slightly elevated mold levels might be a concern between 1,500 and 3,000 spores, but a dusty home or HVAC system could achieve these levels easily
  • Some maintenance tasks should commence for homes with spore levels above 3,000 to 10,000 spores in a room, though general tidying up and HVAC cleaning can achieve this in many cases
  • Professional mold remediation is a must at over 25,000 spores in a room. Microbes should be easily identifiable by sight or smell. This proves especially true in areas with 75,000 or more spores

Mold proliferation in a home is typically driven by excess moisture. To reduce indoor air humidity, leaks, and spills must be addressed. We have the training and the devices to ensure the RH within the living space is at a standard level.

SERVPRO Training Resources for Mold Mitigation Technicians and Staff

Because mold damage is typically a secondary result of another disaster like fire or water damage, SERVPRO technicians are trained in the following disciplines along with their Initial Crew Training:

  • Understanding IICRC standards for restoration industry technicians
  • Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
  • Fire Restoration
  • Water Restoration

Technicians who wish to broaden their education, specialize in specific restoration disciplines, or stay updated on industry guidelines can learn more with self-paced e-learning modules. These online learning opportunities include support materials, video presentations, and knowledge tests at the end of each unit.

New SERVPRO franchise owners are also trained in these industries and Mold Mitigation during an intensive 15-day course at the SERVPRO Corporate Training Facility. This comprehensive educational experience includes practical cleanup experience in the Corporate Training House, which is designed to weather many disaster scenarios.

Continuing education classes offer credit and noncredit opportunities for industry-adjacent professionals, like insurance claims adjusters and real estate agents, to broaden their knowledge base regarding disasters. Available courses with credit offerings include separate units on water and fire damage restoration, Understanding Mold in the Restoration Industry, Restorative Drying for Loss Control. A noncredit Mitigation Awareness Response Seminar is also available for professionals to attend.

Inspect your home often for signs of mold. SERVPRO's team is trained and equipped to safely remove mold.

SERVPRO Provides Emergency Mold Removal Services in Plainfield

Mold colonies form within twenty-four hours after a water leak or moisture problem in Plainfield homes and businesses. Mold spores are everywhere, ready for the right conditions – moisture, warmth, and a food source. Once a mold infestation is found, the infestation can spread quickly. Everyone, family, clients, suppliers, or employees, must take action immediately before the infestation affects products, structural components, and health.

SERVPRO provides emergency mold removal and remediation services in Plainfield and surrounding areas. Our mold removal specialists are available 24/7 to respond to emergencies identified by our clients (Residential and Commercial) with mold infestation incidents.

Once mold is identified in a home or business, clients must immediately protect their contents and themselves from potentially harmful effects. Closing a room in your house or shutting down a company can profoundly impact families and businesses that risk losing income and laying off employees. Our emergency services teams understand how important it is to take immediate action and propose solutions to minimize the impact while mold remediation is conducted.

For example, our IICRC trained SERVPRO technicians may erect barriers to block unaffected areas of the building from loose mold particles and spores. Negative pressure rooms ensure that mold spores are not distributed to the remainder of the building through HVAC systems. We bag all items removed from the affected area in place, seal them and remove them for disposal. 

Our applied microbial remediation specialists protect your family, employees, and clients from exposure to mold while removing the infestation. Your business can continue to operate while we are removing the infestation.

Our mold remediation services include the following:

  • Mold inspections, remediation, and removal
  • Attic mold removal
  • Basement mold removal

SERVPRO Can Perform Mold Removal in Your Avon House Effectively

Mold Removal in Avon Needs Effective Remediation Services

Leaving mold unattended can cause it to colonize larger areas of your house, leading to structural damage and ruining its aesthetic appeal. Trying to tackle it yourself might turn out to be ineffective. You need a specialist to complete the remediation process at the best efficiency possible.

SERVPRO is the service provider of your choice, for we offer highly effective mold removal services in Avon. Our technicians are well trained and certified so that you can trust us. When a mold colony develops in your house, the most critical emergency step is to contain the contamination to ensure the house occupants are safe and the mold does not spread to uncontaminated sections. Some of the measures that SERVPRO uses for containment are:

  • Installing plastic sheeting to act as a barrier.
  • Sealing all the HVAC vents to prevent mold spores from contaminating the duct system
  • Establishing negative air pressure in the contaminated areas to ensure everything is contained within the sheeting for easier air scrubbing
  • For the safety of our technicians and others needing entry and exit from the structure, SERVPRO establishes decontamination and clean rooms. We enter, leave and decontaminate the materials and equipment in use.

Our team can use HEPA vacuums to remove the loose mold fragments from salvageable materials. We can then dump-wipe the semi-porous materials like concrete and wood. To ensure that your house is safe after the remediation process, we can use air scrubbers to absorb the mold spores that might have become airborne due to disturbances during the remediation process.

Our SERVPRO technicians can also use thermal foggers to apply solvent-based thermal fog deodorizers and give it about 30 minutes or leave it overnight to remove the bad smell, depending on how severe it is. Thermal fog deodorizers are a mixture of fragrances, odor counteractants, and aromatic phenolics in a solvent base, making them highly effective.

Contact SERVPRO of Hendricks County at (317) 838-0100 for a smooth mold remediation process. We have the expertise to make the mold infestation seem “Like it never even happened.”

Where to Expect Mold Damage in Your Plainfield Home

6/21/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO remediates mold damage from Plainfield properties. We remove the excess moisture and the colonies.

SERVPRO Inspection Helps Mold Remediation in Plainfield

The question of where mold grows in a property is not easy to answer since the contamination can develop in any part of your Plainfield home. However, some areas are more prone to mold damage, and knowing this can help you combat the problem over the long term.

For there to be mold damage in your Plainfield home, plenty of moisture and organic food sources are necessary. The moisture can be significant such as pooling water, or minimal such as surface wetness. Any organic material can provide the food needed by mold colonies to thrive. The first thing SERVPRO crews do is evaluate the moisture situation and establish whether there are vulnerable items.

Materials that support mold growth

  • Paper products
  • Fabrics
  • Cardboard and ceiling panels
  • Insulation

The physical traits of material also influence how mold affects it. While mold develops on all organic materials, it can be devastating if the materials are porous. Its hyphae penetrate deep into the core of the materials, where it is difficult to remove them through cleaning. Our SERVPRO technicians remove moldy insulation, carpets, and wallpaper. We also use aggressive cleaning techniques on solid wood to clear colonies from its surfaces.

Mold hotspots

The risk of microbial development is higher in some house areas, especially where moisture is often released. Pipe joints beneath sinks or behind bathtubs fail, often releasing some moisture. Leaks are also likely near windows and roof joints, allowing some rainwater into the house, sparking mold growth.

Our IICRC-certified AMRT-applied microbial restoration technicians are the solution to your mold damage problems. Construction defects can also trigger constant mold contamination if there are missing vapor barriers or improper ventilation. For example, if a concrete slab is poured over a low vapor barrier, it can absorb moisture from the surroundings leading to microbial growth within the subfloor materials. SERVPRO recommends maintaining an indoor RH relative humidity of less than 60%.

Quick ways to deal with an infestation

  • Cleaning affected surfaces
  • Dehumidification
  • Applying antimicrobial products

SERVPRO of Hendricks County readily understands mold damage trends, thus helping resolve it "Like it never even happened." You can reach us at (317) 838-0100.

Why Secure Property after Fire Damage Incidents in Brownsburg

6/13/2022 (Permalink)

Fire damage cleanup and restoration include securing the Brownsburg home from weather and critters. SERVPRO can mitigate the damage.

SERVPRO Safeguards Homes after Fire Loss in Brownsburg

Your Brownsburg property may be ravaged by fire, but that does not mean you should neglect it. Several things can go wrong between the time the fire goes out and the time restoration is done, thus worsening the fire's impact. Taking action to secure the property is critical, but it requires the right approach.

After fire damage in Brownsburg, securing the property means different things, including safeguarding those entering and keeping out unwanted parties. SERVPRO helps erect the necessary barriers by sealing off openings or sectioning off the property to isolate the damaged areas from the rest of the home. 

Critical considerations when securing the home:

  • Ease of barrier set up
  • Level of security 
  • Longevity of the barriers

Even for seemingly minor fire incidents, the need to secure the property might arise. For instance, if the incident needs to be investigated or the insurance company takes time to process compensation. Therefore, any barrier established should serve its purpose over the period it takes to address the fire issues. Our SERVPRO technicians are well versed in setting up secure and long-lasting barricades. When boarding-up window openings, we choose solutions like bolt-with-tension, which uses a piece of plywood fastened from the outside with long bolts attached to 2-by-4 planks on the inside. The method is more secure and does not damage surrounding materials the way fastening the board with nails.

Containing fine materials

Apart from limiting people or animals from moving into the house, you might also need to limit the spread of residues. Soot, ash, and fine debris are some materials you might need to contain from soiling the entire property. If the debris ends up in the ducts, a simple fire can result in long-term indoor air quality issues. Sealing doors, hallways, or duct openings are essential in containing the spread of residues.

 Necessary containment actions 

  • Setting up plastic sheets to create barriers
  • Sealing HVAC duct openings
  • Sealing unfinished structural materials to contain odors

SERVPRO of Hendricks County has sufficient experience to help you deal with all fire damage incidents. You can reach us at (317) 838-0100. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

No Job Is Ever Too Dirty For SERVPRO!

12/12/2021 (Permalink)

It's a dirty job and SERVPRO of Hendricks County wants to take care of restoring your property back to preloss condition.

Oh no, the toilet is overflowing is a message you hope you never hear!  But rest assured, unfortunately, it happens all the time and our SERVPRO of Hendricks County technicians are just a phone call away.

If your toilet begins to overflow following a flush, you want to make sure you stop the flow of water immediately to minimize any water damage.  To do this, remove the tank lid and press down on the bottom flapper valve.  This will prevent any additional water from getting into the toilet bowl.  Once you have pressed the flapper valve, lift the float that operates the tank fill valve to stop the tank from filling.  This should allow the water level to drop; otherwise, turn off the water valve behind your toilet by turning it clockwise. 

The Source of the toilet bowl overflow might be a Clog

You may have a blockage in the toilet bowl or a clogged drain or sewer line.  If you are on a septic system, your septic tank may be full. 

Our SERVPRO technicians are trained water damage restoration professionals and certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).  Let SERVPRO of Hendricks County be the calm in your chaos the next time your toilet overflows.  Our vehicles are fully equipped with state-of-the-art water extraction, drying, and moisture testing equipment to handle your loss.

Did You Know - SERVPRO of Hendricks County Is IICRC Water Certified!

7/26/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Hendricks County is an IICRC-certified restoration company.

Water Damage and IICRC Certification of Your Restoration Firm

Water damage can be deceptive. Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters. Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage. This damage, at a minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage will surface when materials delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly repairs are required.

More than just removing excess water, restorers certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) have the knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including substructure materials) completely back to preloss conditions. Through timely response and the careful monitoring of water damage, mold and other health effects can be prevented. If water damage has been present too long, mold will occur.

All IICRC-certified professionals have the training and experience to identify moisture sources, evaluate mold growth (visible or suspected), contain damage, remove contamination and dry materials to ensure that mold will not return.

More About the Importance of IICRC Certification

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is a certification and standard-setting nonprofit organization for the inspection, cleaning and restoration industries.

When you see a IICRC logo, you can be confident that an IICRC-certified experienced, qualified professional is caring for your valuable property. IICRC Certified Firms employ technicians who, after study, field experience and passing comprehensive exams, have received IICRC certifications in specific cleaning, restoration and inspection categories such as upholstery, wood flooring, stone and tile flooring, carpet cleaning, odor removal, mold remediation, water damage, fire damage restoration and more.

Here at SERVPRO of Hendricks County we strive to go the extra smile for our community!

Here is a review left from one of our valued customers.

"They arrived as quick as possible. I'm sure they came from another job. Becky and Jay and another gal, I'm sorry I don't remember her name (she only came the first day). They were so good to explain to me and help me to understand the importance of what they had to do. Both Becky and Jay came back daily and checked on their equipment (big blowers & dehumidifiers). Sprayed my house so I won't get mold. Explained when the kitchen cabinets were going to be torn out. I had no idea, all of this was going to happen and they were so good to explain and help me step by step through this process. I would highly recommend them. I'm thankful that my insurance called them, obviously they had faith in them as well. I appreciated all they did and I want you to know that both Jay and Becky, were so polite and respectful to me during a difficult time when I was still trying to comprehend that my house had just flooded. Thank you for sending not only great workers, but nice employees that share with the customer what they are going to have to do. That's very valuable, and nice, good people are hart to find. They were very hard workers and I observed them working super well as a team. Kudo's to Jay and Becky! They deserve this praise! Great Job!!"

There's Mold Where?

4/7/2021 (Permalink)

Mold...EWWWW, right? Unfortunatly, mold can be found in many unusual spots in your home. If left to grow, mold can become a dangerous problem for your home’s value and as a cosmetic eyesore. Here are some places to check and clean to avoid these problems.

Your Toothbrush Holder

Your toothbrush gets replaced, but not so much with your holder. This can lead to a moist atmosphere that is ripe for mold growth. It is good to tear down and disinfect your toothbrush holder each month to ensure that mold doesn't have a chance to take up residence. 

Your Appliances

Specifically, your dishwasher and clothes washer are susceptible to mold growth. Check behind and underneath them to see if the darkness and moisture has caused growth. You can then clean the area before it grow into the walls and flooring, which is more costly to remove and repair. Also check INSIDE your appliances. Look under coverings and around rubber moisture seals to expose mold which has developed inside the machine where the cleaning process does not reach.

Potted Plants

If you don't have the gift of a green thumb, you may tend to do something to your plants that can cause mold growth...overwatering. If you give to much water to a plant, the water can stick around for a long time and create an environment that is perfect for mold growth. Make sure you are only giving your plants the appropriate amount of water to avoid this situation. 

Outdoor Rugs and Floormats

Outdoor rugs and mats can tend to get icky underneath. The easy remedy for this? wash your rugs and floormats regularly or simply flip them over and let the sun dry the wet parts before mold can grow.

If you suspect mold, give the professionals at SERVPRO a call! We are faster to any disaster and will make things "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO of Hendricks County produces many of the cleaning products, deodorizing compounds, and disinfectants that we use every day during our work. Our chemists are even able to advise us in unorthodox situations to utilize our suite of cleaning products to clean and deodorize even the strongest and strangest combination of smells and soils.

One of our products SERVPROXIDETM is our proprietary hospital-grade disinfectant registered with the EPA. It is a stabilized chlorine dioxide-based antimicrobial which carries the EPA’s lowest toxicity rating. The product itself doesn’t carry any fragrances other than a mild cleaning odor which dissipates quickly making it a great product for people with chemical or odor sensitivities.

There are many different applications for SERVPROXIDETM. It can eliminate odors through disinfecting and oxidation rather than just covering them up. That can be done by applying the product directly with towels or through misting or spraying which is often used when we clean HVAC systems. It has even been utilized in electrostatic spraying for an even application on surfaces inside buildings.

In fact, SERVPROXIDETM is the disinfectant we have used when we have been asked to clean and disinfect COVID-19 in homes and businesses here in Wichita. The CDC recommends the usage of a labeled hospital-grade disinfectant with claims against similar types of organisms to COVID-19 and SERVPROXIDE has EPA-approved claims against things like Feline coronavirus, Canine coronavirus, staphylococcus, E.coli, Salmonella, Rotavirus, and Swine flu.

If you are concerned about your home or business and want it clean, sanitized, and disinfected give us a call today! We are faster to any disaster and are here to help get you back to "Like it never even happened."

Safety Tips for your Outdoor Entertaining with a Fire Pit

6/7/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Hendricks County wants to help you plan in advance when installing your new fire pit.

Fire pits are wonderful accessories for outdoor entertaining and may be a great addition to your property.

Here are some safety tips from SERVPRO of Hendricks County when using your fire pits in Brownsburg, Indiana.  

Location

  1. Place your fire pit at least 10 feet away from any other structures to ensure a safe distance from sparks igniting other structures or smoke invading another structure.
  2. Do not set your fire pit on a covered deck or under tree branches to ensure that flames and sparks will not set objects on fire.

Under the Pit

  1. Make sure you have the proper type of bedding under the fire pit such as stone, brick, gravel, or concrete.
  2. Never place over a wooden deck or over dry grass; this will prevent causing a spark to the ground below the pit.

Weather

  1. Do not use your fire pit on windy days.
  2. Check the breeze to see what direction the breeze is flowing and place the fire pit out of the breeze.

Lighting the Fire Pit

  1. Do not use lighter fluid or gasoline to light the fire.
  2. Kindling such as newspaper, pine needles, etc., are great starters for your fire pit.
  3. Always have hose or water nearby in case the fire starts to spread.

Make sure your town or covenant rules allow for burning a fire pit.

If you have the misfortune of a fire spreading due to a fire pit, call the professionals at

Is a Leaking Roof in Avon an Emergency?

4/22/2019 (Permalink)

Damage from leaking roofs can be kept to a minimum if acted upon quickly.

Roof leaks are a problem in any weather, but a roof that starts to leak during a heavy rainstorm can quickly turn into a major emergency. Unfortunately, rainy weather is when a roof leak is most likely to happen.

No resident ever wants to find water leaking from their ceiling.  It is important that you take immediate action to avoid additional damage to your home.

Containing the Leak

The water leak may have caused a bulge or discoloration to your ceiling which may indicate that the water is collecting and pooling on the other side or the ceiling.

Get a trash can or bucket and place under the site of the damaged area.  Next, take a screwdriver and use it to puncture the very middle of the bulge where the water is accumulating.  Doing this may prevent the entire ceiling from collapsing.

SERVPRO of Hendricks County and their IICRC Technicians are available 24/7 to provide emergency water extraction and water mitigation to return your home to “Like it never even happened."

Dangers of Waiting

Immediate action to a roof leak can minimize any future damage and possibly prevent any microbial growth. Avoiding or ignoring stains on the ceiling or even bubbling or bulges may often lead to a damaging and costly repair.

Making an impact on the community in which you live and work!

The Community Foundation of Morgan County Executive Director, Ed Kominowski, is leading the podcast dialogue with Neal McNalley, Owner of SERVPRO of Hendricks County.

Neal and his family are longtime supporter of their community making many different impacts.

Neal and his family not only have a passion for the Boys & Girls Club of Morgan County but wants to get others involved.

Ten years ago, Neal was invited by a friend to a luncheon and asked if he might entertain the thought of sponsoring a golf outing for the local Boys & Girls Club. Neal listened and has since been the Title Sponsor and Legacy Sponsor for all 10 of the Boys & Girls Club of Morgan County Golf Outings.  Neal’s belief is that he and his family have been blessed and they have the opportunity to help and benefit the families in the community and by doing so, benefit the community as a whole.
