Why Eagle Rock Homeowners Choose SERVPRO for Home Restoration Services

When any type of damage from water, fire, mold or storms happens in Eagle Rock residences, the clock starts ticking on how much loss occurs to both property and possessions. That is why it is vital to bring in a professional restoration services company as quickly as possible to repair and recover both structural elements as well as home contents.

Time is the biggest enemy when it comes to water damage in Eagle Rock homes. The more prolonged exposure to excessive moisture happens, the more damage occurs to building materials and home furnishings. Plus the seriousness of the water cleanup builds with each passing hour.

Imagine a simple supply line break spills category one or clean water all over a bathroom floor. If the homeowners were away on vacation and did not return home for two to three days, that situation would require that the standing water would need handling as a Black Water cleanup and that carries a rating as a category three biohazard which requires our technicians don protective gear during mitigation for health and safety reasons.

When SERVPRO arrives on the scene, we begin scoping the home with our moisture detection equipment to determine areas of excessive moisture. Our team members hold certifications as Applied Structural Drying Technician (ASDT) and Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT). This training gives them the knowledge and skills they need to properly perform water extraction with the right equipment for the job.

Once we complete the water removal phase, we use powerful air movers to lift deeply embedded moisture from within the structure. The followup with both cleaning and disinfection inhibits the growth of mold and foul odors in the property.

When SERVPRO handles fire damage to an Eagle Rock residence, whether large or small, it can feel overwhelming. We assist property owners by compiling reports for insurance claims, including a detailed report with descriptions and photographs of building materials and items in the home that required removal or remediation through our proprietary cleaning methods.

When our technicians work on large-scale fire damage, often the best outcome for the property is to prepare the residence for rebuilding. It may involve actions from fire debris removal to controlled demolition techniques for cutting away charred areas of the structure to leave it ready for restorative reconstruction. Our location has a General Contractor License #999460, and we handle all phases of fire damage in homes from cleanup to restoration and save property owners the hassle of searching for and hiring different agencies for remediation and rebuilding.

Smoke odor is a massive issue as the end result of even small fires in a home. Our certified odor control technicians utilize multiple methods to neutralize odors from smoke, water damage, musty mold odors and more using both cleaning techniques and specialized equipment such as negative air machines, hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging.

Mold damage in Eagle Rock homes often first gets discovered as a musty odor that does not dissipate. As certified mold remediation specialists #CMRC-82464, our technicians have the training and equipment to find mold colonies in your home and perform abatement to remove them. SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians do more than simple mold remediation; we find the cause of the mold growth, so the cycle does not repeat itself. Common reasons include:

• An unchecked slow leak in a home
• Poor drainage in a basement or crawlspace
• Blocked or poor ventilation such as from an exhaust fan leading to an attic
• Hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the home space and the water is not adequately extracted and dried

Containment is a common way we stop the spread of spores around the property and often used with air scrubbers to capture airborne spores and reduce the numbers. Once the colonies are dried, we use manual removal techniques, and in stubborn or large-scale infestations, soda blasting is a useful abatement technique to remove all traces of the former mold problem.

Storm damage in Eagle Rock homes tends to happen suddenly, and often there is little to no warning to prepare your home, especially for microburst storms and flash floods. If the water that enters your home is from rain through the leak in the roof or perhaps a broken window from a tree limb, that is considered a clean water spill, and as long as the water cleanup happens within 24 to 48-hours, and carries a rating as a category one or two level water cleanup.

When flood water enters a home, it is severe and requires handling as a category three or black water level cleanup. The groundwater has the potential to have debris, contaminants, even sewage, and homeowners should avoid contact. When our technicians perform cleanup, they were protective clothing, including eye protection and respirators.

SERVPRO technicians have different types of equipment to remove water quickly. Some of the most commonly used are portable pumps to cover small areas of water extraction and weighted extraction wands to push water out of soft or porous surfaces, such as saturated carpeting to make it easier to remove. Our truck-mounted industrial units deal with large scale water removal in short order. No matter what type of flood damage you are dealing with, SERVPRO employees assist homeowners in realizing as little loss as possible through our specialized drying methods to salvage as much of the affected home contents as we can using our cleaning and restoration methods.
