We Can Fix Water Damage In Schools Before It's Too Late

7/5/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage does not discriminate; even academic facilities are fair game for its ability to do long-term deterioration. This requires effective repairs to ensure that educational services continue with minimal risk to either students or teachers.

The schools in California may be familiar with leaks in buildings within their campuses. For example, a dorm building had a small crisis when its cast iron water pipes went very close to a full burst. The pipes were eventually replaced with ABS piping per building code but the place had to be shut down for them to be installed. When places of learning are badly affected by water inundation, it’s time to have it fixed through water damage restoration companies like SERVPRO of Laguna Hills/Laguna Niguel.

Nitty-Gritty

A thorough inspection of the subject location with a preferred restoration crew must give ample clues as to what happened.

When a return steam line at the basement of OU’s Hudson Hall was damaged and later triggered a small flood. University administration was forced to shut down the building’s power supply and reroute a generator to it while the steam line was replaced.

Molded Business?

Water-damaged basements often carry the danger of mold growing, particularly when some water ls left after pumping out the place. Your preferred remediating contractor can use special heating methods to fully dry out the affected area and apply anti-microbial solutions.

Under Fire?

There are situations where the water can prompt a short circuit and result in a fire. For example, when drips of water touch connections and triggers a spark that starts a fire.

A Laguna Hills, CA fire damage remediation team can be called in to assist after the flames have been doused and assess the level of repairs.

Water or fire damage of any kind should never be downplayed for they can affect the safety of facility occupants in the long run. It’s never too late to seek help from damage remediation professionals like those from SERVPRO, so make that call today.

SERVPRO Can Save Your Documents

6/15/2022 (Permalink)

Laguna Hills got its name because of its proximity to the famed Laguna Beach. Just a stone’s throw away from the shore line, Laguna Hills is popular among tourists and California residents alike. Its close proximity, however, also means that it gets more than its fair share of rainfall every now and then. When this happens, one of the things that most home and business owners around this area will need to deal with is damage brought about by strong rainfall.

There are many ways by which water damage restoration can be dealt with, be it air drying, dehumidifying, or vacuum-freeze drying. Choosing which water damage restoration technique to use will often depend on what kind of material was damaged in the first place.

Documents, Paper and Books

If your document has been damaged by brackish water, the first thing that you need to do is rinse it with cold, clean water. If you are dealing with onion skin, vellum, or other kinds of fragile paper, it is recommended that you lay them out on a flat surface and spray the documents with clean water until the dirt has been washed off. Make sure that you do not expose them to direct sunlight as this could cause wrinkling in the paper.

Once you have laid out all the paper, use an oscillating fan in order to speed up the drying process. Make sure you do not direct the airflow towards the document itself. Instead, allow the fan to dry the room which, in turn, will dry the documents. 

If you are dealing with water-logged books, you should do inter-leaving or putting absorbent paper in between leaves. If the book has already developed a moldy smell, you might need to use an ozone gas chamber to deodorize safely the document. This is the same processed used in restoring documents that have been through fire damage.

Water Damaged Photos

Water-damaged photos should be attended to as soon as possible. Keep in mind that waiting for more than 48 hours before working on the photographs can result in growth of mold and mildew, which could damage your pictures.

If the photos are still contained inside a picture frame, do not try to separate the picture from the glass. What you can do instead is place it under running water until the picture can be retrieved.. The same is  done if you have two pictures stuck together. Take great care not to touch the printed side of a photograph, as this could result in smudges.

5/13/2022 (Permalink)

IICRC Stands for - Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification

Water damage can be deceptive, it can happen when you least expect it. At any moment a pipe could burst or a much more subtle problem occurs when water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. In the event that something a bit harder to find happens, the detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters. Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage and worsen the structural integrity of your business or home and at a minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage can surface when materials delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly repairs are required. Here at SERVPRO we have the tools to detect such hidden horrors.

More than just removing excess water, SERVPRO IICRC -certified restorers have the knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including substructure materials) completely back to preloss conditions. "Like it never even happened." Through a timely response and the careful monitoring of water damage, mold and other issues can be prevented which is the best case scenario. If water damage has been present for too long without treatment, mold will occur, in the event of mold occurring we here at SERVPRO can also help with that.

All IICRC-certified professionals at SERVPRO of Laguna Hills/Laguna Niguel, CA have the training and experience to identify moisture sources, evaluate mold growth (visible or suspected), contain damage, and remove contamination and dry materials to ensure that mold will not return.
