Remediation and Restoration

7/23/2021 (Permalink)

An example of a water damaged bathroom that lead to the growth of mold. SERVPRO professionals was called on to complete the restoration process.

WATER DAMAGE:

Water damage can happen anywhere, but some areas and types of damage occur far more often than others. When problems go beyond simple cleanup and sanitation, your cleaning personnel or company may be ill-equipped to handle the consequences of significant water damage. SERVPRO of East Lancaster specializes in providing fast and efficient services, ensuring all affected areas are clean, undamaged, and pleasant-smelling after a water loss.

COMMON WATER LOSS CAUSES:

Plumbing Overflow -

A common reason for us to be called to a site for water damage is when a sink, toilet, or bathtub overflows. In commercial settings, like hotels, determining when, where, and why water damage has occurred can sometimes be difficult. At times, it may be days or more before you discover a water loss, and water can begin to leak elsewhere, causing further damages. Our team of professionals will draft a detailed assessment of the situation, and can provide an estimate of our projected work times and costs.

Water Line Leaks and Breaks -

With water lines running throughout the building, it may not be uncommon for them to leak or burst, especially if they are older. Be sure to call SERVPRO of East York as soon as you suspect that a water line may have been ruptured. The speed of our response may be critical in preventing further damages. To avoid most water line problems in your home or business, make sure that pipes receive semi-regular maintenance and checkups.

Open Windows -

Sometimes we want a bit of fresh air, so we open a window. If you forget to close the window before a storm rolls through your area, water damage can occur quickly. Rain pouring into your structure through an open window can cause significant damage to furniture, walls, and flooring, but most of the worst effects can be prevented through a quick call to SERVPRO.

WHAT OUR TECHNICIANS WILL DO:

  • Assess damages and determine if site is safe
  • Determine the extent of the moisture content in affected areas
  • Move furniture that may hinder drying results 
  • Extract water
  • Remove drywall and flooring (if necessary) 
  • Start the drying process with air movers and dehumidifiers 
  • Ensure rooms are completely dry and conduct a walk through with home/business owners, to guarantee customer satisfaction

WHO TO CALL:

At SERVPRO of East York, no job is too big or too small for our Team of certified and highly trained experts. If water damage occurs in your residential home or commercial property, call the professionals at SERVPRO of East York at (717)-665-1270. It is important to call as soon as possible because water damage that has not been mitigated by professionals, can quickly become a breeding ground for mold or further damages.

Providing Essential Service for Essential Workers

SERVPRO of East York is prepared to clean and disinfect any home or business!

During this unprecedented time, we would like to remind our customers that we are specialists in cleaning and disinfecting services. At SERVPRO of East York, we adhere to the highest cleaning and sanitation standards, and given our current environment, we are continuously improving the level of clean we provide.

SERVPRO of East York recently provided cleaning and disinfecting services to several buses at a local Law Enforcement facility. Vehicles that are used to provide essential services need to be cleaned and decontaminated to ensure members of our community are not exposed to any additional threats.

Inside the buses, our team of professionals made sure to vacuum all seats and floors. Seats that did not have cushions were also wiped with disinfectant. We wiped all non-carpeted flooring with a commercial-grade cleaner / degreaser, and ensured that all trash was removed from floors, consoles, and door compartments. We cleaned the consoles, steering wheels, door handles, radio microphones, and dashboards with a hospital-grade disinfectant.

After spraying the disinfectant directly on the surface areas, we thoroughly wiped off any excess spray. Because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourages cleaning of high-touch surfaces, we paid particular attention to door handles and handles to the cabinets.

We then cleaned the Plexiglas doors with glass cleaner, checked to make sure trash did not need Sharps container, and swept and decontaminated the floor. After sweeping out dirt and debris, we sprayed the floor with disinfectant and let it sit for a several minutes before mopping with clean water.

SERVPRO of East York also knows it is important for drivers to have clear sight lines and the ability to use their mirrors effectively. We made certain that the windshields were free of bugs, and that debris was removed. All mirrors were wiped down with a glass cleaner, and the exterior of the vehicles were washed. We removed dirt and grime to project a clean image, and cleaned the tires, so they were free of mud and dirt.

The CDC recommends usage of a labeled hospital-grade disinfectant with claims against similar pathogens to the coronavirus. Multiple products in the SERVPRO product line carry the EPA-approved emerging pathogens claims. While there is currently no product tested against this particular strain of the coronavirus, we are following all guidelines as provided by the CDC and local authorities.  

SERVPRO of East York is prepared to clean and disinfect your home or business, according to protocols set forth by the CDC. We have years of experience in dealing with biological contaminants, and go beyond the scope of work that regular janitorial staff perform on a daily basis.
