We have suitable equipment for extracting water from all surfaces. Our SERVPRO team can use different extraction tools to extract water from floors, such as light wands, extraction units, submersible pumps, and deep extraction tools.

A water intrusion incident can damage building materials like wood flooring and drywall, making it necessary to remove them.

Removing affected materials like drywall to expose wall cavities and carpets to expose subfloors can make drying more efficient.

We can strategically arrange air movers to increase evaporation and dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from the air.

Flood damage can cause major problems in your home and is difficult to remediate. Call SERVPRO 24/7 for technicians who know how to help.

Post-Storm Restoration Services Protect Your Home

Storms can last for a few minutes or all day and night. The longer a storm pummels Teaneck, the greater the risk of flood damage grows.

SERVPRO® assures families in Teaneck that our flood damage services can restore their homes after the worst storms. Our comprehensive services include minor details like debris cleanup of your lawns, allowing you to focus on other important tasks.

Flood damage can happen to a residence in different ways. Here is how we help with several:

• Soggy carpets and other floors, 
• Torn-away shingles, and 
• Mangled exterior metal elements.

When rain enters through a window or a doorway and soaks your flooring, you must get this water dried out as quickly as possible and possibly sanitized. Our team uses advanced drying and sanitizing techniques to ensure that all water is removed and the affected areas are safe for use. Fast action means we can often save your flooring and abstain from replacing anything.

High winds can tear away shingles from your roof and leave exposed sections that allow rainwater to enter the attic. This water can trickle down to your living area. At the same time, some water from the rain remains behind, capable of ruining stored memories and other treasures your family holds dear. We extract this water using desiccant machines and fans. Suppose water stains the ceiling in your living area. In that case, we ensure that dry conditions exist and the roofing job is complete before repainting.

Storms can ruin many exterior elements, such as decorations and window screen frames. Metal decorations often cannot be returned to their original condition after the storm. Still, we can install replacement screens and assist you with an inventory list of ruined lawn decorations.

When a storm leaves your home with flood damage, know that you're not alone. Call SERVPRO of Teaneck / Englewood at (201) 266-0482 for immediate assistance and expert guidance.

SERVPRO can simplify soot cleanup in Teaneck homes by using special sponges. This photo illustrates our slogan, "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO® Saves Your Fire Damaged Home in Teaneck

After a fire, homeowners in Teaneck want to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. SERVPRO can help with this enormous task. Our training and equipment prepare us to handle all aspects of a thorough fire restoration.

Regarding fire restoration in Teaneck, homeowners can trust SERVPRO's proven techniques. With our extensive experience, we are committed to addressing every aspect of the restoration process, allowing your family to move forward without any lingering reminders of the traumatic event.

To accomplish this, we need to perform diverse tasks, including:

• Intensive cleaning,
• Addressing the destruction of contents and structure,
• Eliminating by-products from extinguishing the fire, and
• Managing odors.

The interior of your home can be left highly contaminated. We clean everything with scented cleaning compounds that quickly cut through the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other substances. Promptly removing soot deposits on surfaces is often sufficient without further attention. During our work, we keep our air scrubbing units running to prevent soot particles from resettling.

Everything inside a home during a fire is susceptible to damage. Part of fire restoration includes removing these items, taking inventory, and helping our customers find replacements. When rebuilding is required, we can handle the details.

Putting a fire out causes additional damage that requires restoration. Water can continue spreading via water vapor in the air, resulting in rusted components and microbial infestations. Water damage after a fire is a common issue. We use methods that include desiccant machines and negative air pressure chambers.

Heated smoke can more easily penetrate areas than cooler smoke. However, the smaller a soot particle becomes as it disintegrates, the more likely it is to become airborne again. We use thermal fogging, activated charcoal, scented oils, and other methods to eliminate unwanted odors and replace them with more pleasant ones. Dry sponges can help to remove soot from walls and ceilings. Customers appreciate the quick cleanup, when possible, without demolition or high costs.

The Water Mitigation Specialists Your Teaneck Residence Needs

4/20/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO stands tall when it comes to water damage mitigation in Teaneck.

Our Water Mitigation Process Limits Destruction

Water damage is a ticking time bomb, triggered when your Teaneck home is drenched by a broken pipe or an overflowing sink. In such situations, immediate water mitigation is crucial to curb potential damage. Even slow leaks can be effectively managed with localized mitigation services.

Acting swiftly is crucial when it comes to preventing potential damage from water and moisture to your property in Teaneck. Our water mitigation services, when implemented immediately, can significantly reduce your overall restoration costs. Some mitigation tasks, such as shutting off the flow of water or taking other measures to make it stop, must occur without delay.

Here are a few different mitigation tasks and what they accomplish for Teaneck homeowners:

• Extracting water,
• Tarping open areas of your home's exterior, and
• Decreasing the moisture in the residence.

Our water extraction process is meticulous, starting with the largest amount of water and gradually working towards the smaller amounts. This is evident in our approach to water retained in a ceiling - we strategically drill drainage holes at the perimeter, gradually moving towards the center. This method not only mitigates the damage but also often saves the ceiling from serious harm.

Storms can topple trees or send branches into the roof, allowing water to enter. Other times, the gutter can forcefully pour collected rain onto the side of your residence. A well-positioned tarp can stop this inundation until proper rebuilding or repairs occur.

Other mitigation work involves ongoing actions, such as creating air movement with our powerful box fans. When we remove unsalvageable items, their absence dramatically reduces the moisture in the property. Minimizing moisture helps decrease the chances of secondary water damage.

Homeowners can confidently rely on the expertise of SERVPRO of Teaneck / Englewood, available at (201) 266-0482, for tailored water mitigation services. Our team is dedicated to protecting your home and the precious belongings inside.

Tackling Teaneck Bathroom Ceiling Mold Damage

2/28/2024 (Permalink)

If you discover mold in your Teaneck home, call SERVPRO. We'll make it “Like it never even happened.”

Mold Remediation Tactics by Restoration Professionals

Mold and water damage go hand in hand, especially in wet, high-traffic areas like residential bathrooms. Spores exposed to humid, warm environments with organic materials to consume can start spreading rapidly in as little as 24 to 72 hours. Worse still, untreated mold can impact air quality and create costly structural damage in a home.

When Teaneck properties need mold remediation, SERVPRO® technicians can render that service 24 hours daily. SERVPRO’s availability and flexibility in the face of disaster can minimize potential damage to a home caused by microbial growth.

How Water Damage Encourages Mold Growth

Mold proliferation in a residence thrives primarily on three factors:

• Adequate moisture levels, ideally above 50% relative humidity (RH).
• Organic material to consume, which helps spores grow and spread.
• Sufficient temperatures, ideally above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Growth can accelerate significantly at higher temperatures.

However, mold does not necessarily go away when these conditions are no longer met. Spores can go dormant for long periods until the right conditions for growth reappear. This tendency to go dormant and resurface is why professional intervention is essential: specialized tools and training ensure that mold can be effectively reduced with minimal risk of resurgence.

SERVPRO Turns Around Bathroom Mold Damage

Say this mold is a small spot on the ceiling near a vent fan. SERVPRO can:

• Mitigate water damage that encourages mold with careful demolition of wet drywall.
• Containment procedures like personal protective equipment, temporary sealing of vents, and polyethylene sheeting are often used to accelerate cleanup without spreading spores. 
• Spores can be collected with the help of negative air pressure and HEPA filter vacuums.
• Drying procedures, sanitation with EPA-registered antimicrobials, and odor control procedures remove moisture and associated malodors.
• Clean HVAC ducts, if necessary, and replace demolished drywall.

When homeowners need "Like it never even happened” remediation, they can call (201) 266-0482 for restoration services by SERVPRO of Teaneck / Englewood.

Restoration of Homes with Fire Damage Benefits Teaneck Residents

8/27/2023 (Permalink)

Dealing with fire damage is a big task for residents. Call SERVPRO for certified technicians to make a remediation plan for you.

Fire Damage Restoration - a Cost-Effective Choice

As bad as a fire might seem while raging in your Teaneck home, SERVPRO® can save significant sections of its interior. Our fire damage restoration methods make removing only the damaged portions possible.

Our techniques might make things seem very haphazard in your Teaneck residence. Our fire damage restoration team wants to assure you that the restoration stage is only temporary, just as the rebuilding stage that follows is only temporary.

Choosing restoration over the drastic demolition of interior elements (and costly rebuilding) can save money for many homeowners coping with the aftermath of a fire. Here are two ways we make restoration the more cost-effective choice for a homeowner:

• Structural components,
• Utility infrastructures, and
• Cleaning.

Repairing your home's structure costs significantly less than rebuilding it. We assess and fix damaged sections to ensure structural integrity and compliance with local codes. We then take steps to restore affected areas. Restoration tasks involve cutting the places with blemishes, weakening, or deterioration. Our cutting tools are sharp and can easily cut in a straight line. To eliminate the chance of dust particles entering your living space, we build enclosures to trap debris and then use vacs with HEPA filtration systems to get even the smallest dust particles.

Utility infrastructures are the property owner's responsibility. We can inspect, remove damaged elements, and repair your electrical system, HVAC components, and plumbing and drainage systems for your family.

Cleaning after a fire helps us determine which items can be reclaimed by restoration efforts. We use techniques like dry sponge wiping, wet toweling, and dry brushing. Sponges are excellent for removing layers of soot and other smoke deposits. Wet towels work well in many ways, including removing debris from surfaces and protecting other surfaces from contaminants. Dry brushing helps dislodge and remove any loose particles while preventing new damage from occurring.

After completing these and other initial steps, we can perform needed rebuilding to make your home "Like it never even happened." Call SERVPRO of Teaneck / Englewood at (201) 266-0482 for professional service after a disaster.

Don't let mold damage go unchecked in your home. Call SERVPRO for help to avoid further damage.

SERVPRO Is Equipped To Handle Mold Removal in Teaneck

Mold damage is a common occurrence in buildings. It usually signals a problem with moisture; hence it’s the first issue to address when dealing with mold. Mold propagates well on paper, ceiling tiles, cardboard, and wood products. Also, it can grow in dust, paints, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. The growth can be unsightly, making your home look poorly maintained and dirty. However, you can remediate your Teaneck home from microbial-driven damage with suitable approaches.

When the mold problem has affected large areas of your home, finding a reliable mold remediation company in Teaneck is vital to ensure the contamination is safely and effectively removed. If the process is not professionally handled, you risk dispersing mold debris to other areas. SERVPRO crews take several measures to remove mold from homes safely. However, our removal techniques may vary depending on the type of surface, the extent of mold growth, and the specific conditions on your property.

General steps involved during mold cleanup:

• Inspection to check for moisture sources and the extent of mold growth
• Building containment to prevent the spread of mold spores
• Physical mold removal using specialized tools and techniques
• Cleaning and disinfecting all affected surfaces

Mold Abatement Measures

SERVPRO crews clean mold on semi-porous and no-porous materials through safe isolation processes, preventing the release of spores into the air. As earlier stated, the type of surface or material on which the mold grows determines the technique our teams use when cleaning moldy surfaces. However, disposal is usually the right option when microbes affect porous material.

Different resources for mold remediation:

• Air scrubbers use HEPA filters to trap mold spores in contaminated areas
• Wire brushes to break up the mold from surfaces
• Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air helping prevent the mold growth
• EPA-approved antimicrobial and antifungal treatments to eliminate mold colonies
