Cleaning and Mitigating Water Damage Threats

The fast movement of water in a home after a leak in the plumbing or malfunctioning appliance can allow a property to become overwhelmed by migrating loss effects. Water Restoration Technicians accredited through the IICRC are ready to help with structural drying, water removal services, mold prevention, and content cleaning.

Fort Lauderdale water damage impacts homes and businesses. With a population of more than 180,000 in the municipality, restoration teams like SERVPRO must be prepared for flooding, leaks, and other water emergencies that could threaten structures. As leading restoration professionals for Broward County, we can provide a full-service solution from mitigation to repairs.

Emergency Services After a Disaster

There is no convenient time for disasters to occur, so when they do, you need assurance that competent restoration professionals are on their way to help. Our SERVPRO professionals are available 24/7, and with stocked production vehicles, we can begin emergency services for water-damaged homes as soon as possible. Early actions our technicians and contractors can take to help include:

  • Water Extraction
  • Utility Repairs
  • Controlled Demolition
  • Content Relocation

Early Water Removal Approaches

When water pools on the flooring surfaces of your residence, the resulting water damage can be substantial. Many of these materials are porous or semi-porous, allowing absorption and saturation to become factors preventing efficient drying and recovery. Part of the objectives for efficient mitigation is removing standing water using a combination of wet vacuums, submersible pumps, and other special extraction units in our inventory.

What Tools Are Necessary for Drying?

Because water cleanup is one of the most essential actions SERVPRO professionals can take after water damage, our professionals have hundreds of tools and equipment to help. The inventory is especially adequate with the Large Loss portion of our restoration services. However, having multiple air movers, dehumidifiers, portable heaters, and extraction units can also benefit residential restoration.

The Science of Effective Drying

Psychometry is one of the primary studies for our restoration professionals working in water damage restoration and recovery. Understanding the behavior of water and moisture with materials and open spaces can improve cleaning and drying times. Effectively drying your property through evaporation and other chemical processes occurs as a balance between three principles:

  • Airflow – The movement of air is the foundation of efficient drying. Using axial and centrifugal air movers placed at 45-degree angles against wet surfaces, we can continually evaporate surface moisture of salvageable building materials.
  • Temperature – The warmer surfaces are, the faster chemical processes can occur. Introducing heat to the drying process and affected materials allows molecules to move quicker, improving the drying speed and the effectiveness of surface cleaning solutions.
  • Humidity – Moisture in the air can slow the progress of drying considerably. When the maximum relative humidity of the space is reached, drying stalls entirely, and we must regulate moisture removal through desiccant and low-grain refrigerant dehumidification.

Full-Service Contractors

Many types of repairs and reconstruction approaches are necessary after water disasters like burst pipes or flooding. Our general contractor license allows us to complete a range of needed build-back services beginning in the earliest stages of mitigation with controlled demolition and emergency repairs. We assess and evaluate total construction needs as recovery efforts are ongoing.

Fort Lauderdale water damage can be one of the most hazardous and destructive conditions for area homes. Knowing how to mitigate loss and dry the structure thoroughly after these emergencies is why so many trusts the experienced professionals of our SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale Central, Wilton Manors team. We are available 24/7 at (954) 516-7611.

The Importance of Prompt Fort Lauderdale Mold Damage Cleanup

4/5/2023 (Permalink)

mold colonies SERVPRO poster Mold colonies in your Fort Lauderdale home? Call the remediators at SERVPRO to restore your property and contents "Like it never even happened."

How SERVPRO Remediates Mold Damage

Mold is always a threat to area homes, as many property owners might not notice the effects of active colonization until the organisms reach the living space. With the destructive capacity of these microbial growths, SERVPRO can respond fast with certified remediation professionals.

Is Mold Expected in Fort Lauderdale?

Many do not understand how likely Fort Lauderdale mold damage is despite how common this callout is for restoration professionals. Intense storms common along this massive coastal city can directly impact homes, condos, businesses, and shops. When lingering moisture is a concern for any structures in Broward County, mold and microbial growth are often not far behind.

Early Actions Help Reduce Damage Effects

Mitigation focuses on any damage your home or business might experience, including mold and microbial effects. Prioritizing efforts to protect your home and its contents from hosting colonies can make remediation faster and more productive. Some of the early mitigation objectives include:

  • Moisture Management – Because moist and damp conditions are the root cause of mold and microbial growth; it is naturally a mitigation priority to eliminate this water damage concern and resolve areas allowing moisture penetration.
  • Content Relocation – Relocating the contents of your residence is also a priority. We can move personal belongings to a safe area in the house or our SERVPRO facility for cleaning, deodorization, and climate-controlled storage.
  • Repairs or Demolition – SERVPRO professionals identify structural damage and work to remove any materials that could pose a safety hazard from collapse, breaking, or weakening.

How Does Remediation Work in Your Home?

Choosing the right remediation method for mold damage in the house can be less straightforward than it might appear. Careful consideration goes into this decision, as failing to successfully remove mold colonies from sensitive materials might result in their removal or further deterioration. We use information gathered during mold inspections to direct the remediation actions to follow, including:

  • Surface Treatment – This process involves using powerful cleaning agents and sporicidal products to remove surface mold damage and prevent further colonization.
  • Abrasive Cleaning – A more aggressive method using pressurized air or water with an abrasive media like dry ice to eliminate more embedded mold infestations.
  • Controlled Demolition – A final measure of mold removal where the only remaining option is to remove affected hosting materials entirely.

Overcoming Musty Smells from Mold Colonies

One of the telling signs of active colonization is a musty odor. This byproduct of mold development results from the presence of volatile organic compounds in the environment created by the organisms. With how widespread and intense these odors can be in the house, it is essential for restoration and remediation professionals of our team to work to reduce the severity and ultimately neutralize the scents entirely.

Keeping Mold from Coming Back

One of the priorities of our responding technicians is taking all necessary actions to ensure that the mold damage stays gone. We have many methods of protecting your property, including applying mold inhibitors. One of the most efficient paths to preventing recurring microbial threats is resolving the cause of the moisture damage that facilitated the colony growth. With a general contractor license, we can quickly manage repairs and build-back needs for the property to seal structural vulnerabilities.

When dealing with Fort Lauderdale mold damage, many homeowners might not know how to proceed and what is best for their property. With how severe these situations can become, it is vital to move quickly with professional remediation. Our SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale Central, Wilton Manors team can help homes through each step of this process. Call now at (954) 516-7611.

Clearing Fire Damage in Fort Lauderdale Homes

Smoke Cloud Let SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale Central, Wilton Manors fix it, Don’t stress it.

Fire Damage Occurs in Several Ways 

Fires are among the more common cleanup and restoration calls that our team receives. Because these situations can rapidly get out of control, we must know how fire damage spreads and how best to address the effects to get life back to normal. 

The Impact of Smoke 

Cleaning up fire damage in Fort Lauderdale homes means addressing the impact of smoke damage on the property. Smoke solids and soils can substantially threaten a structure after a fire gets extinguished. Our SERVPRO professionals can help with cleanup in several ways:

  • Soot 

Partial combustion creates carbon particles that affix to surfaces and contents. Soot is one of the most formidable hurdles of fire damage restoration, requiring multiple approaches to safely remove without destroying the hosting material. From solvents and detergents to abrasive media blasting, we have several approaches for eliminating soot.

  • Airborne Contaminants 

Contamination is a concern for the environment. Airborne particulates and smoke solids create a volatile atmosphere for responding professionals. We can manage many carcinogenic threats using HEPA filtration products and UV cleaning. Cleaning up spaces like the HVAC ductwork can also directly impact the volume and concentration of airborne contaminants.

  • Odors

Clearing harsh smells is another obstacle created by the generation of smoke during a fire. Strong and offensive odors penetrate porous materials and overwhelm smaller spaces in the house. We utilize several deodorization tools and products to neutralize malodors even after the restoration completes. 

Fire damage can be traumatic and stressful for your household. Many obstacles exist with removing smoke and soot damage from the house, and SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale Central, Wilton Manors is here to help you get your life back to normal. Call us at (954) 280-6212 to make it “Like it never even happened.”

How SERVPRO Does Water Removal in Fort Lauderdale

  • Keep inside relative humidity below 60% (and under 40% following twenty-four hours of drying) with the right number of dehumidifiers to promote continued evaporation
  • Further promote speedy evaporative drying by pushing damp air out and drawing dry air inside with powerful, strategically placed air movers
  • Address difficult-to-access wet areas behind structural elements with cutting-edge Injectidry systems

How Dehumidifiers Dry Your Fort Lauderdale Business’ Water Damage

SERVPRO Remediates Fort Lauderdale’s Water Damage

Water-damaged businesses in Fort Lauderdale often require specialized drying measures. Usually, remediation services like SERVPRO must employ dehumidifiers to complete crucial steps in the drying process. These companies have two types of dehumidifiers, refrigerant and desiccant, at their disposal and can use either or both to complete their work.

SERVPRO’s technicians are trained and experienced in effectively drying water damage-impacted Fort Lauderdale businesses. Over their many years of serving this community, our water damage remediation professionals have helped countless neighborhood commercial establishments overcome the effects of burst pipes, ceiling leaks, and basement flooding. When drying interiors impacted by these water issues, SERVPRO uses dehumidification machines in the following ways:

  • Refrigerant dehumidifiers are usually employed first because they can operate most efficiently on less electric power and at higher temperatures than desiccant ones
  • The refrigerated coils in these machines condense water vapor from the air, dry off surfaces, and lower the moisture levels of moderately-to-highly porous materials like drywall, carpeting, fabrics, and upholstered furnishings
  • Once full power has been restored to your facilities and temperatures can be lowered, desiccant dehumidifiers are used if structural elements, low or non-porous/permeable materials like hardwoods and concrete, and confined spaces remain wet
  • These desiccant moisture removers first use special water molecule-attracting materials like silica gel to dehumidify the air, then they heat these materials so that their stored liquid is evaporated and released into the exterior environment

Ultimately, 80% of most drying jobs in Florida can be effectively completed with refrigerant moisture removers, but the final 20% of the work usually requires desiccant machines.

With that said, if you are ever faced with water damage at your shop, store, restaurant, hotel, or other commercial establishments, don’t hesitate to call your helpful neighborhood SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale Central, Wilton Manors. We are always ready for your call at (954) 516-7611.
