Instead, you need professional mold cleanup and remediation services so that you can get safe, effective results. SERVPRO features IICRC-certified technicians with the tools, training, and protocols to clean your interior to make it “Like it never even happened.”

One of the best reasons for hiring SERVPRO to help with mold damage in Marlborough is that our team always talks you through the process.

SERVPRO Offers Wet Smoke Cleanup Services To Marlborough Residents

Fire damage restoration services can help us clean and remove the contaminants that might make our home unsafe for occupancy. Also, they can offer us some emotional healing after losing personal belongings that meant a lot to us. Fire damage incidents produce different types of smoke since the combustion process happens under varying conditions and burns different types of items.

Wet smoke may be produced when fire damage occurs on your Marlborough property. It comes from low-heat and slow-burning materials such as plastics and rubber. The smoke is characterized by pungent, black, and thick fumes that leave behind sticky residues on the floor, ceiling, wall, or any surface it lands on.

Our SERVPRO technicians use specific equipment and techniques when cleaning wet smoke from different are:

• Pressure washing: If the sticky residues land on the exterior surface of patios, decks, and siding, we can use this technique to remove them. We use a pressure washer and an appropriate detergent to clean the heavy soot buildup.
• Detergent cleaning: The technique is appropriate when cleaning sticky residues from ceilings, walls, and other areas. The cleaning solutions used in the process can break down the sticky residues for easy removal.
• Cleaning with mild detergent: A soft sponge or cloth is used to apply the detergent. The method suits delicate areas such as painted surfaces, varnished wood, and other areas which can suffer additional damage when stronger detergents are used.
• Abrasive cleaning: Steel wool, wire brushes, and other abrasive materials are used to do the cleaning. Our SERVPRO technicians use this technique to clean surfaces with the ability to withstand abrasive cleaning.

The next step is to remove the smoke odor to neutralize the unpleasant smells. For instance, we can direct the deodorizing solutions into hard-to-reach areas through thermal fogging and ozone treatment. We always wear appropriate safety gear during the fire damage cleanup process.

Call Immediately for Help to Mitigate Water Damage Repair Costs in Marlborough

Water damage in Marlborough homes often causes much more damage to the contents and structure of the house than people expect. Small leaks from plumbing inside walls can go undetected for days or weeks, causing extensive permanent damage to drywall, flooring materials, the home's structure, and mold infestations. Many homeowners also fail to call for help immediately, assuming the water will evaporate on its own, causing minor damage; instead, further damage occurs as organic materials absorb moisture.

These situations cause significant impacts on homes in Marlborough and require extensive water damage repair to floors, cabinets, walls, and structures. Early calls to SERVPRO and deployment of a water removal and drying team can sometimes mitigate some damage. Unfortunately, for many, it is too late. Floors are damaged:

Using Air Movers for Office Water Restoration in Marlborough

11/22/2022 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord’s rapid response team is available 24/7!

Effective Tools for Office Water Restoration

After leaks or burst pipes, offices can become heavily damaged by migrating water. We specialize in Large Loss cleanup and drying services and have tools to help with disasters of any size.

Understanding the Type of Drying Tools Needed

Water restoration for Marlborough offices starts with having the right tools. We have several units that can help with efficient drying like:

• Axial – Air movers like this address a broader focus area, ideal for moist environments or a more general drying needed on an entire room rather than specific wall points.

• Centrifugal – Unlike axial units, these machines are meant to have a target area to focus blasts of warm air. As such, they require monitoring and regular movement to be most effective.

• Low-Profile – These machines are of the centrifugal variety but are designed with a smaller and shorter frame to better address cavities underneath fixtures or damp pockets in confined spaces.

The Proper Placement of Air Movers

Knowing where to position air movers can be an important part of efficient drying for your office. The objective is always to limit the time you are stalled for production. We place units several feet away from the wall at a 45-degree angle, so the blasts of warm air can impact a greater surface, not blast back at the device and reduce its effectiveness.

How Do You Know How Many to Use?

The frequency of placing air movers and where they will be most effective is part of an ongoing evaluation of the drying process. Our proprietary software SERVPRO DryBook helps us to track the progress of evaporation and drying in a structure and use this data to make decisions in real-time about the frequency of air mover placement and which type of machine is best suited to achieve the desired moisture content range.

Your office will need several drying tools to return to preloss condition, and one of the most heavily used and required of these are air movers. When disasters strike, we have hundreds of these tools available to help your business when you call our SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord team at (978) 486-9868. 

Cleaning Up Effectively After Flood Damage at Marlborough Homes

9/26/2022 (Permalink)

Just a little bit of water can do a lot of damage. Call us today to minimize your loss.

SERVPRO Restores Marlborough Properties after Flood Incidents

Flooding has become a more frequent occurrence. When the velocity of the floodwaters slows, it can leave behind large amounts of sand, silt, and other debris. It also leaves behind pathogenic and non-pathogenic agents. Remediation and recovery need to be undertaken quickly after a flood incident in your Marlborough home to return the area to normal and prevent secondary damages such as mold damage.

Cleaning up after flood damage in a Marlborough home can be arduous, requiring sufficient manpower and tools. Depending on the amount of water and damage caused, it could be better to find a professional to help with the work. SERVPRO has a qualified team experienced in disaster response. We respond to such situations rapidly since we have teams on standby 24/7. Flooding is likely to ruin most interior finishes and contents when left unaddressed. Our team can prevent further damage to your property by beginning cleanup promptly.

Effective restoration after a flood entails:

• Removing any remaining floodwaters
• Removing mud and debris
• Salvaging personal items
• Drying and disinfecting any wet areas or objects

When cleaning up after a flood, you need to extract the water. Though most of it would have receded, some traces remain in certain areas of your home. Also, some structural components, such as the walls, tend to absorb moisture gradually, compromising them as long as they stay waterlogged. Therefore, drying the space out and disinfecting any affected areas or items is essential.

Assessing Flood Damage

After a flood, you must assess the damage your home may have suffered. SERVPRO proceeds with caution when assessing damage after a flood, then take the necessary safety precautions before entering the house. Our teams consider the building materials in your home to know how much water they may have retained. We look for signs to tell if a structure has been altered or weakened. For example, corners that used to be 90 degrees may have been pushed to a different angle:

Other signs to look out for

• Cracks, bulges, and sagging in floors and walls
• Sagging ceilings
• Cracks in your basement or foundation walls

SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord provides resources to tackle flood damage "Like it never even happened." Call us at (978) 486-9868.

Did You Know That Fires Can Leave Toxins in Your Maynard Home?

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

Fires can leave dangerous toxins. Call SERVPRO to restore your fire damage.

Handling Fire Damage Plus Toxins in Maynard

Fire damage to your home is a situation you need to remedy as quickly as possible to stop the possibility of secondary damage and an unhealthy living situation from occurring. After the fire is out, there is often water, smoke, soot, and odors that need removing from the home.

Once you make the call to us, your SERVPRO technician inspects the fire damage to your Maynard home and can come up with an individualized plan to return your home to normal. The first course of action usually involves removing any residual water from putting out the fire. The technicians inspect the floors, walls, ceilings, and objects in the room to determine the scope of the job for the air movers to handle. After removing the moisture, the next phase of restoration can begin.

Smoke and soot not only leave a filmy residue on the interior but also penetrate porous objects leaving unpleasant odors. Plastics and other synthetic materials can release harmful chemicals that are toxic to inhale. Smoke from wood alone can contain numerous poisonous substances, including methane, benzene, and carbon monoxide, to name just three. The soot can be removed from surfaces using dry sponges and special cleaning agents that do a two-fold cleaning by removing the residue and deodorizing as it cleans.

Once clearing away the visual reminders of the fire damage, the final step of removing the odors and toxins begins. Your SERVPRO technician can test for toxins left by the fire and determine the best method for removing odors. Should we find toxins, we use a Hydroxyl Generator, which fights against mold, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in your home, making your home safe to live in again.

Dealing with fire damage can seem overwhelming. Let our expert technicians at SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord handle the cleanup for you. We are available 24/7 at (978) 486-9868 to make your disaster "Like it never even happened."
