SERVPRO Provides Water Restoration, Repair, and Cleaning Services in Everett

The Snohomish people have occupied the area around Everett for thousands of years. Europeans began arriving around 1860, and the city was established around 1890. Everett became the county seat in 1897 and has grown to be a major area of employment and a bedroom community for Seattle. Colliding air currents produce heavier rains than the rest of the region, leading to damage from wind and rain, which is a common occurrence. 

SERVPRO® provides water restoration services to Everett and the surrounding region any time of day or night, 24/7. We can have a team of technicians onsite at your home or business within four hours of your call for assistance. 

Many of our customers are unaware of how important it is to remove water and moisture immediately. Porous materials soak up moisture, causing expansion and loss of structural integrity. Many products, such as drywall, sheetrock, pressed wood furniture, and hardwood floors, absorb moisture, which leads to significant deformation. Hardwood floors can buckle and warp if water and moisture are not quickly removed. Mold colonies can form within 24 hours of high moisture conditions being present. 

Our SERVPRO team assesses the situation and immediately deploys equipment to meet the situation's needs. We utilize the following based on the situation: 

• High-capacity pumps to remove standing water 
• High-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the space impacted by water 
• Specialized floor mats to remove water and moisture from hardwood floors 
• Weighted water extraction to remove water from carpeting 
• Crevices are no match for our specialized crevice water extraction tools 
• We monitor walls and floors with moisture meters to identify moisture hotspots 
• All surfaces are cleaned and sanitized, and odors are removed 
• Damaged structure and contents are restored as needed 

We also coordinate claims with our customers and their insurance companies.

When Smoke, Water, and Fire Damage Your Everett Home

10/19/2024 (Permalink)

A fire in your home can cause a lot of damage, especially if it's not dealt with properly. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 for certified technicians.

A House Fire Severely Damages Contents & Interior

Fire damage never disappears on its own. When it affects your Everett property, you'll see that it is not only charring and burning that happens. Other changes include water damage and the presence of new and unwanted odors.

The changes related to fire damage in an Everett house are physical and molecular. Charred wood is visible but happens at the molecular level. The wood changes into charcoal. Such changes are permanent.

Here, we will explain how a fire changes things in your home at the molecular level:

• Smoke,
• Water, and
• Fire.
  

Smoke contains gases, solids, and liquids, including some oils. Much of the solid material is so tiny that it's impossible to see the individual particles without a microscope. These pieces are very sharp and capable of causing etching of shiny surfaces within your home. As these particles break down and disintegrate more and more, air currents can lift them into the air, where you and your family smell them as smokey, acrid odors. We clean these deposits up as quickly as possible and run air scrubbers.

When firefighters spray water onto hot, burning things, a lot becomes steam. As the steam cools, it remains in the air as water vapor or condenses on cool surfaces. Moisture can seep into microscopic pores and begin causing secondary water damage, including mold and dry rot. Too much moisture can easily warp wood. SERVPRO® addresses all of these according to IICRC standards.

A fire's heat can melt plastic and other synthetic materials from a short distance. Many toys, kitchenware, and even clothing contain these materials. They also give off toxic gases when heated. We clean up the melted messes and take inventory of these destroyed belongings. We clean the air with air scrubbers and negative pressure set-ups.

Mold Removal Companies Help Clean Up Damaged Everett Bathrooms

8/9/2024 (Permalink)

Controlled demolition is not a FIY project for mold remediation. Call SERVPRO to salvage your Everett bathroom.

SERVPRO® Is Your Mold Remediation Company

Certain areas of your Everett home are more susceptible to moisture damage and subsequent mold than others. The bathroom contends with steam and possible water spills, leaks, and drips from its plentiful fixtures. SERVPRO cleanup and remediation solutions provide an efficient path to remove mold, as DIY approaches often do not resolve the threat entirely.

When Professional Help Is Recommended

While it might always be advisable to seek the experience of mold removal companies for Everett homes suffering damage, many still choose to be the first line of defense against rising threats in their households. Knowing when the situation is out of your control or could become worse without professional assistance is a vital piece of information. Some of the conditions that could influence this decision include:

• Sizable Damaged Area—The EPA suggests that remediation specialists should be consulted for any damaged area greater than ten square feet.
• Recurring Issues – Have you cleaned off mold damage more than once on the surface of your bathroom walls or fixtures? SERVPRO professionals provide long-term mold damage solutions and complete remediation services.
• Hidden Mold – Mold damage rarely solely exists on that outermost surface layer, which you can see when the moisture is widespread. Hidden mold can be a substantial threat that allows these colonies to continue to spread and weaken structural elements in inaccessible areas.
• Reconstruction Needs – Another reason to lean on our knowledge and experience is when you know that reconstruction and repairs are necessary.

SERVPRO Has the Expertise to Help

One call can solve the full spectrum of your home's remediation needs. Our fast responders mitigate loss, protect damaged contents, clean mold-damaged components of your bathroom, and help you create long-term solutions through better ventilation, mold-inhibiting materials, or better plumbing.

Are you experiencing mold in your home's bathroom? If so, contact SERVPRO of Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe at (360) 243-8313. 

Strategic Approaches to Drywall Flood Damage Restoration in Everett

6/9/2024 (Permalink)

Flood damage is often difficult to deal with unless you know what you're doing. Contact SERVPRO for experienced personnel who are ready to help.

SERVPRO® Flood Restoration Services in Everett

Founded in 1890, Everett was named after Everett Colby, the son of a prominent investor. Its history is preserved in landmarks like the Historic Everett Theatre and the Schack Art Center. The city features more than 40 parks, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Forest Park, which includes a petting zoo and a water playground, is especially popular with families. Everett hosts several annual events celebrating the community's spirit and culture, including The Everett Film Festival, which features independent films from various countries, and the Fresh Paint Festival of Artists at Work, which brings artists together for live demonstrations and sales.

Flood damage in Everett can significantly affect drywall in homes, resulting in substantial harm and necessitating comprehensive restoration endeavors. Floodwaters permeate drywall, leading it to absorb moisture quickly. As the drywall absorbs water, it expands and softens, resulting in a loss of its structural strength. This expansion can cause distortion, swelling, and a complete breakdown of the drywall material. Neglected water damage can weaken the structural stability of the drywall and surrounding building materials. When drywall becomes saturated and weakened, it may no longer adequately support fixtures, cabinets, and other attached components. SERVPRO has the necessary equipment, skills, and resources to execute comprehensive flood restoration effectively.

Our approach to drywall water damage restoration

• Water removal
• Drying and dehumidification
• Salvage vs. replacement
• Mold remediation

Flood damage provides favorable conditions for mold to thrive, increasing structural damage. Mold remediation involves meticulous cleaning, disinfection, and the elimination of impacted drywall and insulation. Our restoration teams use HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial solutions to eliminate mold residues and hinder future growth.

Salvaging Flood-Damaged Drywall

Flood damage can necessitate the removal of drywall due to saturation, mold growth, structural damage, contamination, and odor issues. SERVPRO employs a variety of tools and methods for removing drywall efficiently. These may include a razor knife, drywall saw (or keyhole saw), rotary saw, Kett saw, or reciprocating saw. 

Requirements for Safe Removal of Damaged Drywall

• Marking the wall or ceiling with a pencil where the cuts should be made
• Using a stud finder to locate wall or ceiling studs along the edges where the drywall should be cut 
• Adjusting the cutting depth of power tools to ensure they do not penetrate beyond the drywall

SERVPRO of Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe resolves flood damage "Like it never even happened." Call us at (360) 243-8313.

Get Help with Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Everett

SERVPRO vans carry powerful pumps to extract water at commercial properties in Everett. We are Faster to any size disaster.™

Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Everett

Water intrusion is a leading cause of commercial property losses across all real estate classes. It can occur with any scale of water ingress. Staff should be able to identify and report any signs of water damage in a workspace.

If not attended to immediately, water damage in a retail store can interrupt business operations, damage merchandise, impact productivity, and cause substantial financial losses. It is vital to take the necessary steps to conduct commercial water damage restoration in your Everett retail store to prevent a scarred reputation and loss of profits. By acting quickly, you can lessen the effects of water intrusion. When our SERVPRO® professional team arrives, the process we can follow to repair your property is as follows:

• Inspection and assessment
• Water mitigation
• Cleanup
• Dry out
• Sanitization 
• Repair and restoration 

Our SERVPRO team can inspect the affected areas to determine how severe the destruction is and create a plan for restoring the space. Our technicians can also take inventory, pack out salvageable items, and start mitigation efforts. We can extract the standing water using pumps. We can also use air-moving and dehumidifying equipment to dry your store. Airflow is an essential tool for drying. Our SERVPRO team can ensure that air movers offer continuous airflow across affected damp surfaces like walls, floors, and framing. When air flows faster across a surface, the quicker the moisture evaporates.

Water can cause bacteria and microbes to build up, usually requiring disinfectant treatment. Proper cleaning and sanitizing can ensure your building and structures are safe. Sanitizing can prevent microbial growth.

Our SERVPRO team can also address any severe damage. It may be necessary to perform some reconstruction to restore the retail store to its original condition. Reconstruction may include repairing the building’s floors, walls, and other structures to get the store ready for normal business operations. 

Contact SERVPRO of Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe today to repair and restore your commercial property. Our 24-hour hotline is (360) 243 8313.

Have Confidence in your Water Damage Recovery Service

Booking a repair service can be an anxious experience. Property emergencies are rare, which means most homeowners do not have a pre-existing relationship with the service. Our team has extensive experience in home restoration but also prides ourselves on our trust, reliability, and professionalism.

Mitigating losses during water damage restoration in Everett means drying the property as quickly as possible. The faster a technician can dry the property, the less likely it is for water to be absorbed into surfaces or furnishings. It can also help technicians work faster on addressing the existing damage caused by the water intrusion and can help remove unpleasant odors. 

 The drying process

• Drying occurs when water molecules evaporate into the surrounding air. 
• Dry air absorbs water faster, while humid air can become saturated, resulting in slower evaporation.
• Replacing wet air with dry air quickly is essential for drying.

 One method of speeding up drying is to ventilate spaces, which replaces humid air with dry outdoor air. The core equipment SERVPRO® technicians use to achieve this is an air mover. Air movers are functionally similar to a fan heater. They work by blowing air that is heated by an element into the room using axial blades. Air movers operate the same way but with much more power. 

The differences between air movers and fan heaters

• Air movers typically use large outlets to provide more even, broad-path airflow.
• Can operate horizontally, vertically and sideways to face ceilings, walls, stairways and cabinets
• Much more powerful - with small portable units capable of moving 885 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM)
• Portable air movers also have low profiles that allow them to blast warm, dry air across wet floors, walls or surfaces. 
• Air movers that lack heating elements can be used.

 Drying a property quickly is essential to mitigating losses in your home. Contact SERVPRO of Everett / Lake Stevens / Monroe for water damage restoration at (360) 243-8313.

Fire Damage in Everett Is Highly Destructive

The ferocity of a house fire can force windows to break, letting flames scorch the exterior of your Everett residence. The entryway doors and frames can also become so warped that you can no longer close them. SERVPRO® handles fire damage and all of your property's problems arising because of it.

Restoring your property by eliminating all traces of fire damage keeps Everett a safe and welcoming community. Making your vulnerable house and its contents inaccessible to unauthorized individuals helps reduce the chance of injuries. Closing off windows and other entry points can also hinder theft and vandalism. You can depend on SERVPRO's skilled teams to manage the entire process of restoring your home, from the beginning to the end.

Here are some ways we take care of your property after a fire:

• Boarding up openings,
• Temporary power, and
• Working with your insurance company.

When the exterior of your home requires new siding and other fixtures, placing heavy-duty boards using sturdy materials and fasteners does not carry the concern of marring your home's exterior appearance. Having these in place allows us to make repairs and install new siding and other components without the risk of damaging new windows. For example, if we need to blast smoke-damaged siding materials, we can do so without harming windows or their frames.

A lack of power might keep your house's interior dark. Our portable generators light everything up for us and power our machines. Once we receive approval, we can reinstall wiring and other electrical system components.

Because we are a neutral third party, a copy of our inventory of lost items and necessary materials to restore your property can help with the claims process.
