SERVPRO® Professional HVAC Cleaning

Ductwork before cleaning and after SERVPRO Duct Cleaning services SERVPRO Duct Cleaning

With temperatures in the 90's in the Southern Illinois region, we tend to keep the doors and windows to our homes and businesses sealed up tight to keep the hot weather outside. This also keeps the air trapped inside and recirculating through the building. Without routine maintenance and annual HVAC cleaning, your ductwork can become dusty and dirty especially, if there is neglect in routine air filter replacements. This will cause musty odors, dust, mold, and other contaminants to be circulated around your home or business which will result in poor air quality. This can also be a major heath issue for those who suffer with seasonal allergies.

Professional HVAC cleaning of your ductwork helps improve the air quality and gain energy efficiency. Musty odors will be less noticeable and the potential for mold growth will be drastically reduced. This can also help to remedy any bacteria, fugus, or mold that may be in the ductwork.

Does your ductwork need professionally cleaned? SERVPRO of Marion, Bond, Fayette and Clinton Cos. can help! Contact our team at (618) 533-5400 today to schedule having your duct cleaning today.  

MOST FIRES ARE PREVENTABLE

11/12/2018 (Permalink)

Did you know that more than 360,000 home structure fires each year?

The cold weather often means a higher risk of house fires, this is because people are spending more time at home and indoors from the wintry weather!

Common Fire Hazards at Home

  • Candles
  • Cigarettes
  • Electrical & Lighting
  • Dryers & Washing Machines

These fire hazards can be "preventable" with some forethought and care! The most preventable are are unattended candles and cooking! Be aware of when you light candles or leave the stove on before you leave your home or go to bed. 

The most recent fire damage SERVPRO of Marion-Bond-Fayette-Clinton Counties did was "quick and a job well done" stated from a happy customer. She explained a fire had started in the middle of the night and SERVPRO was there that morning removing the damage and making everything smell and look nice!

Although most fires are preventable, if you ever experience an unfortunate fire damage call SERVPRO of Marion-Bond-Fayette-Clinton Counties at (618) 533-5400!

SOOT AND SMOKE DAMAGE INSULATION REMOVAL

5/11/2018 (Permalink)

We Know How To Remove Smoke Damaged Insulation

SERVPRO of Marion, Bond, Fayette, Clinton Counties thinks outside the box when it comes to creative ways to get the job done. Here, we engineered a way to continually extract all the insulation out of the attic with minimal manipulation and manpower of an assisted living center. 

Smoke and Soot Facts:

  • Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
  • Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
  • The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke:

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of Marion, Bond, Fayette, Clinton Counties will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

  • Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

  • Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

  • Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor. 

Call us at (618) 533-5400 for all your Cleanup and Restoration Needs.

American RED CROSS Fire Campaign

4/27/2018 (Permalink)

Each year, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters, the vast majority of which are home fires. So we set a goal to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries in the US by 25%.

On average:

  • 7 people die every day from a home fire, most impacting children and the elderly
  • 36 people suffer injuries as a result of home fires every day
  • Over $7 billion in property damage occurs every year

Every day, seven people die in home fires, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms. Sadly, children and the elderly disproportionately lose their lives. The American Red Cross wants to improve the odds and save lives- that’s why we launched our Home Fire Campaign.

A critical part of the campaign is Sound the Alarm, a series of home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events across the country. Together with fire departments and other community partners, Red Cross volunteers:

  • Canvass at-risk neighborhoods
  • Install free smoke alarms
  • Replace batteries in existing alarms
  • Provide fire prevention and safety education

 

In just three years, our home visits have accomplished so much, including the installation of more than 1 million smoke alarms and preparing more than 1 million people against home fires.

Join SERVPRO and the Red Cross April 28 through May 13 on a Sound the Alarm home visit in your community, where teams of volunteers will be installing 100,000 free smoke alarms in more than 100 cities across the U.S. Together, we can save lives!

Indoor Air Quality in Marion, Bond, Fayette & Clinton Counties

4/27/2018 (Permalink)

Indoor air quality/environmental professionals evaluate the quality of the air inside a structure. Some specialize and are skilled in testing buildings for the presence of molds. Using various testing devices, these professionals collect air and surface samples to compare the indoor mold spore count to the outdoor environment. If you have concerns about mold, SERVPRO of Marion, Bond, Fayeet, Clinton Counties can assist you in locating a qualified indoor air quality/environmental professional. 

SERVPRO cares about proper restoration of your structure. In most water damage situations excessive mold growth is not a problem and SERVPRO can safely restore your building to preloss condition. The need to address the presence of mold can be determined by an on-site, indoor environmental inspection. Please keep in mind SERVPRO of Marion, Bond, Fayette, Clinton Counties does not interpret insurance policies or coverage; you must consult your insurance company to determine the scope of policy coverage.
