Mold and Mildew Prevention

Warming months here in Denver can bring an abundance of melting snow. This snow brings moisture to our trees and grass as well as fills our streams and rivers, yet this excess water can bring large amounts of flooding and run-off water.  This extra water and moisture around your home can cause mold and mildew damage if you're not careful. Keep a couple of these tips in mind to prevent mold and mildew growth in your home.

Preventing Mold and Mildew

- Make sure your foundation is sound. Every year warm and cold weather causes extra strain on your foundation causing cracks and crevices where mold can form. Make sure to be alert every spring in case minor repairs need to be made.
- Basements are notorious for moisutre. Make sure you do not notice any standing water or leaks by basement windows. Mold can start to grow under carpets or in drywall if moisture goes unnoticed.
- Windows sills are also common places to find mold spores. Make sure to keep window ledges dry by consistently wiping them down if they leak or contain moisture.
- Humidifiers can balance out the moisture in your home. Winter months can be dry but condensation can still form in your home. Because of this, you'll have to play around with a setting that works best for you and your home.

These are just a couple tips on how to prevent mold and mildew in your home. Here at ServiceMaster Fire and Water Restoration in Denver, we are experts in mold and mildew cleanup and restoration. Don't hesitate to call us at (303) 800-3404 if you experience a mold problem.

Fire and Smoke Restoration Tips by ServiceMaster Fire and Water Restoration Denver, CO

House fires can come from natural disasters and things such as kitchen fires.  Whether it’s a small oven fire or large damage, you need to make sure you hire a proper fire and smoke restoration company.  

First thing to remember is to always have a fire extinguisher at hand.  Small fires can be put out if you know proper fire safety and know how to use fire extinguishers.  This skill should be taught to everyone in the family since fires can happen at any time.  Cleaning up a small fire can often times be done on your own.  If the fire was contained to a small area, such as the stove, there are plenty of cleaners that can get the job done.  This cleanup should pertain to a single appliance; anything larger a professional fire and smoke restoration company should handle the cleanup. 

Larger fires that are put out by fire departments obviously cause a lot more damage.  Soot and water damage are your primary problems once that fire is put out.  Soot contains pathogens that actually further ruin your property.  Even if parts of your home are untouched by flames, it’s the soot that can ruin your property.  The oils that exist in the soot can extensively damage furniture and walls and often times need to be cleaned by special chemicals to ensure it’s cleaned properly.  Soap and water is not the way to go. 

Water damage is prominent after a fire is put out.  Water can seep into walls and furniture that can then lead to mold problems.  Professionals with the proper equipment and experience should handle drying and cleaning of products after fir and water damage. 

Fire and smoke damage can cause thousands of dollars in damage.  This is why here at ServiceMaster Fire and Water Restoration, Denver CO we know how to properly clean and salvage as much of your property as possible.  Don’t hesitate to call us in times of emergency and restoration at (303) 800-3404.

Preparing for Floods, Denver CO

Winter weather can bring extreme snowstorms and weather. Denver, CO has large amounts of snow each year, once this now melts, it can cause flooding to many properties.  Knowing how to prevent flooding in your home can save you thousands in damages.

The first thing to remember is to check a flood map.  FEMA provides flood maps that are affected the most.  This allows you to check your neighborhood and city around you.  These maps also come in handy when purchasing home insurance packages.  Almost all insurance companies offer flood insurance, yet they could be limited.  Some do not cover all property damage such as basements.  If you live in an area that has high flood probability, you will need to make sure your policy covers all types of damages and emergencies. 

Once you find a policy that works with your home and demographic, it is always important to make an emergency plan with the family.  Flood emergency plans can include evacuation plans, emergency kits and tools.  Ensure your family and children know what to do in times of flood as well as prepare yourself with insurance plans and policies. 

If you ever experience flooding in your home or property, do not hesitate to call ServiceMaster of Denver, CO to help clean and restore any water damage.

Start 2013 with Great Looking Carpets and Flooring

Holiday season is over and holiday cookies and cake, high heels and occasionally a splash of wine can wreck havoc on your carpets and hardwood floors.  With this extensive foot traffic, you need to make sure you are taking extra care of your floors.  Vacuuming and mopping can remove surface dirt for the day, yet deep cleaning is needed to extend the life of your floors.  Carpet fibers will wear down if dirt and dust are ground into the carpet and rugs.  Deep-water extraction is the only way to remove this deep down dust.  Tile and grout can be problematic as well.  Dirt rests in grout and wood and tile grooves.  Once this dirt settles, it can wear down wood floor finishes as well as turn grout colors.  Mopping won’t clean deep enough and will often times scratch your floors.
