SERVPRO of Warren County is not just a mitigation, fire and mold remediation company.  We have many other services that we can offer you!  Did you know that we can pack and move your furniture for you?

Contractors often ask us to come in and take care of packing and moving a homeowner’s furniture and content out for flooring repairs.  Some homeowner’s need to have carpet installed or hardwoods sanded and refinished. In order to complete that task, everything must be moved out.  We have an excellent crew that comes in and treats your items as if they are their own.  It is very important to us to pack each item properly to ensure that the piece stays intact. Once your personal items are packed, we send in the crews to move your packed content.  Once your repairs are completed, we perform a post clean by wiping down your horizontal surfaces and then we return your items back to their original location.

Take the nightmare out of packing and moving, and call SERVPRO of Warren County.

Disinfection

10/15/2021 (Permalink)

There are many different germs and viruses that are being passed around this year. You may be wondering what you can do to prevent these germs from spreading to your family. The easiest way you can do this is by staying home as much as possible, and by consistently cleaning highly used areas inside your own home. This can be especially important if anyone in your home is an essential employee or if anyone has been out and about during that day.

Here is a list of some high touch areas of your home that can be very susceptible to germs-

• Doorknobs
• Light Switches
• Fridge, Sink and Microwave Door Handles
• Remotes
• Phones
• Keys
• Car Door Handles
• Handrails
• Touch Points on Chairs
• Countertops
• Cabinet Handles
• Bathroom Sink Hardware
• Toilets/Toilet Handle
• Sinks
• Computer/Laptop
• Tablets
• Touch Screens
• Tabletops

Another great way to help kill germs is by washing items infected by germs or worn outside the home as soon as possible. Doing this will help keep germs as bay when it is unavoidable for them to enter your home.

Trust SERVPRO of Warren County to help disinfect and sanitize homes, businesses, vehicles, churches, emergency vehicles, healthcare facilities, and more. We offer free quotes, and are open 24/7 for your convenience.

Biohazard

10/15/2021 (Permalink)

A biohazard consists of a substance that has microorganisms or chemical components that are detrimental to your health. Think sewage, blood, tear gas, feces, and more...all of these are biohazards. Due to the dangerous nature of biohazards, you shouldn’t necessarily just clean them up and dispose of them with an ordinary rag and soap, as you could potentially expose yourself to harmful chemicals or biological contaminants. This means that biohazards need a special type of cleaning called biohazard cleaning to properly remove all traces of the biohazards from wherever they are present.

What are biohazard scenarios?

So now that you know what a biohazard is, what are biohazard scenarios that you may find yourself in? Biohazard scenarios include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Sewage backups 
• Crime Scene Residue 
• Suicide/death accidents
• Homicide cleanups
• Blood cleanup
• Accident cleanup
• Hoarding scenes
• Animal waste/remains
• Chemical spills
• Tear gas cleanup
• Meth lab cleanup

All of these scenarios should be navigated with caution, and you should call a professional biohazard cleanup company to deal with their aftermath.

What is biohazard cleaning and how does it resolve the above scenarios?

As mentioned earlier, biohazard cleaning consists of removing biological, chemical, and pathogenic contaminants from the above scenarios by using safety apparatus, proper biohazard gear, and sanitation solutions that are OSHA-approved in accordance with health regulations. 

We have a specially trained team on hand to perform biohazard cleaning at a moment’s notice, no matter the time of day. Here at SERVPRO of Warren County, you can rest assured that your biohazard scenario will be cleaned up in no time and you will no longer have to worry about risking your health in the presence of the scene. Contact us at (513) 932-3649 to learn more. 

Crime scene cleanup

Belongings in a water damage

10/14/2021 (Permalink)

Water damage affects not only the structure of your house but also your belongings. SERVPRO of Warren County understands that your home is more than a structure; your family’s furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other belongings help transform a house into a home.

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Warren County  specializes in restoring contents damaged by fire, water, or mold. Our expertise and “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. We pretest your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their condition before the water damage. We utilize several methods of cleaning your contents, including the following:

• Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
• Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
• Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
• Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
• Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned. 
• Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product. 

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of  Warren lCounty  can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. A move-out will provide several benefits, including the following:

• A quicker remodeling process
• Protecting items from potential damage
• Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Electronic Cleanup

Water-damaged electronics can present a serious hazard. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by water. We will coordinate the restoration of your electronics, including:

• Television sets
• DVD players
• Computers
• And more

The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. We start by cleaning the exterior of electronic devices to help stop further corrosion and damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician.

Document / Photograph Drying

When your valuable documents, including photographs, are damaged by water, extreme caution should be taken to help ensure the water damage does not destroy the document. Although some documents may not be restored to pre-water damage condition, SERVPRO

can save a great deal and help minimize additional damage. 

Depending on the type of documents and the level of water damage, we have five options for the restoration of documents:

• Air Drying
• Dehumidification
• Freezer Drying
• Vacuum Freeze Drying
• Vacuum Thermal Drying

Contents Claim Inventory Service

When a water emergency strikes, the damage can often feel overwhelming. We can help ease the worry and confusion during the recovery process by offering our Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS), which provides a detailed and accurate list of your belongings. We take a room-by-room inventory of your contents, including digital photos, and in some instances, bar coding.

Our Contents Claim Inventory Service:

• Preloss list and value of contents
• Detailed and accurate report
• Better information to settle claims quicker
• Assistance with burden of proof for claims
• Peace of mind when you need it most

Packout

10/4/2021 (Permalink)

Along with providing fire and water damage restoration services we also provide content pack out services. While our team starts the mitigation process we can pack up contents at your home or business that need cleaned or would be in the way during the cleanup process. Our pack out process involves photographing what we put into each box and then we go ahead and label that box so it is easily found when it is needed. We will then take them back to our shop and either clean them if need be and/or store them until the mitigation process is complete. While SERVPRO of Warren County works to make your fire and water damage "Like it never even happened." We also understand the importance of your items and will treat them as such. Trust the professionals here at SERVPRO and call us if you ever find yourself facing an emergency.

Choosing a restoration company

12/22/2020 (Permalink)

Choosing a Restoration Company

The restoration process can be complex after a commercial property, damaged by a flood, fire or storm. There are many ways a restoration company with 24-hour availability can improve the process of restoration for insurance agents, adjusters and business owners.

1. Receive Answers Quickly

During the restoration of a commercial property, decisions often need to be made quickly. If a restoration company is not able to respond to questions in a timely manner, business owners may feel inclined to attempt to handle a problem themselves, which can be a costly mistake. However, a restoration business that offers a fast response to business owners, adjusters and insurance agents can provide everyone with up-to-date information when answering any questions, and employees of the company can use their experience and knowledge to assist in decision-making.

2. Expedite the Claims Process

When businesses have been damaged, it’s often important to begin the claims process as soon as possible. Starting the claims process quickly will allow the restoration process to start in a timely manner, which can ultimately save business owners time and money. Overall, working with a restoration company with 24-hour availability can dramatically improve the speed at which the claims process occurs.

3. Peace of Mind

The process of restoring a commercial property is often stressful. It’s common for business owners to feel overwhelmed by everything restoration entails. If a major issue arises and insurance agents or business owners are not able to get in touch with the restoration company, an already stressful situation can become more difficult. Knowing that you can contact a restoration company that is always open can offer immense peace of mind.

The right restoration company can make the process of restoring a business much simpler. Employing a restoration business that has 24-hour availability can allow insurance agents, adjusters and business owners to receive a quick response to any questions, can quicken the claims process and can offer peace of mind for everyone involved.

Choose SERVPRO

10/16/2020 (Permalink)

A quick response from SERVPRO of Warren County ensures your Damage Restoration needs are professionally completed.

Choosing a restoration company to work with is a decision that homeowners should weigh heavily. This company will not only handle the restoration of your home, but they will also be working with you during a trying time. The right company will provide reassurance and ensure your experience is positive as they work to restore your home to its previous condition.

Any kind of household disaster has the potential to give rise to other damages, so choosing a company that has a wide range of expertise is key.

Structural damage can occur following water damage, fire can release hazardous particles into the air, and storms can cause both fire and water damage all at once. Finding a company that is well-rounded in their areas of damage treatment is key to a good experience.

Why Our Restoration Process Matters

When we work on a restoration job, we focus not only on restoring the property but also on providing the customer with peace of mind. Here are some reasons to consider us for restoration:

Our Availability Is Open

There is no way to ensure a disaster will occur at a convenient time, which is why we are always here to answer when you call. Our 24⁄7 emergency line means you can get in touch with us right away so our technicians can spring into action and treat your damage quickly no matter the hour.

Our Technicians Are Highly Trained

We are proud to invest in training for our technicians so we can ensure everyone is getting the best work possible. Every technician we have is highly trained and adheres to the IICRC standards, ensuring he or she will use scientifically proven techniques and equipment.

Our Network Is National

We have franchises across the country, amounting to over 1,700 locations, which allows us to have a large pool of resources to pick from. This enables us to treat a wide-scale natural disaster with the same level of expertise as we would a small home fire and ensures we can help you with restoration wherever you are located.

What is mold?

10/16/2020 (Permalink)

Molds are a form of fungus. There are many different types, and they can occur both indoors and outdoors.

Molds produce spores, which spread by floating around in the air. Mold spores are present in all indoor environments. There is no way to prevent spores, and they can persist in conditions where mold itself cannot grow.

Mold spores thrive in environments that are moist and warm, so when they land on a damp spot, they begin to grow.

Molds can grow on a variety of different surfaces, including fabric, paper, wood, glass, and plastic. As they grow, they may digest the material they are growing on.

We are an emergency services business and we are open 24/7-365 a year. Call our office at (513) 932-3649

SERVPRO

10/15/2020 (Permalink)

The past few decades has seen a rapid advancement in the technology and techniques used in the restoration industry. These advancements allow SERVPRO of Warren County professionals to restore a property back to preloss condition quickly, reliably, and more effectively. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) sets practical standards for restoration and cleaning. The IICRC S500 Water Damage Guide is a specific set of practical standards that incorporate the field of psychometry, which involves the manipulation of temperature and relative humidity to remove moisture and dry a property quickly and effectively. By using equipment such as thermal imaging cameras to identify the location of unwanted water, truck-mounted and portable extraction units for performing efficient water removal, high-velocity air movers that allow moisture to evaporate at a faster pace, air scrubbers to remove odors and control air quality, and OSHA-approved cleaning agents, SERVPRO is invested in delivering the best quality service with the most advanced technology.

SERVPRO brand

10/15/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is the only mitigation company with national advertising. You know us and trust us. Effective results are the results of consistent training and execution.

Since 1967, SERVPRO Industries, Inc. has been redefining and improving the mitigation and restoration industries. In 1992, the SERVPRO National Training Center was developed specifically to teach restoration and mitigations skills to insurance industry employees, as well as Franchise owners. SERVPRO has been a state –approved Continuing Education Course Location and an IICRC-approved school since 1997. In May of 2005, SERVPRO moved to a new corporate location with an innovative and much larger Training Center.

SERVPRO Industries, Inc. is one of nine organizations qualified to offer the Applied Structural Drying course. The Applied Structural Drying course covers the effective, efficient, and timely drying of water-damaged structures and contents, using comprehensive classroom and hands-on training, in order to facilitate appropriate decision-making within a restorative drying environment. Students will experience live, hands-on use of instruments, extraction systems, drying equipment, and chemistry use in an actual flooded building situation.

Mold on drywall

10/5/2020 (Permalink)

Drywall is one of the most common places for mold to grow, due to its high quantity of cellulose, which creates a great living environment for mold. 

Most of the time when we are called, mold is visible. When mold grows, we tend to believe it's due to a lack of cleanliness or, at least, a lack of awareness. But it’s perfectly normal to have situations where water damage can be so subtle we only find out about it when the damage is severe. If the damage is too severe then we will remove the drywall, because once mold grows bad enough in drywall it cannot be repaired. We are also able to clear the remaining moisture out of the air.

Sometimes things are out of our control, even in our safest place to be. That’s why SERVPRO of Warren County spreads what we know about possible dangers in the home, to protect you and your family. If you’re ever in need of restoration for water, fire, mold, or storm damage, give us a call. Let’s keep your house safe.

The cost of services

10/5/2020 (Permalink)

The cost of service from SERVPRO is dependent on the type and extent of the damage to your property. Our goal is to restore, not replace.

SERVPRO costs are dependent on the type and extent of the damage sustained to a property.  The cost of restoration is typically less than replacement. 

The cost of restoration services is almost always the first question we receive.  It’s an understandable question, and we’re always happy to provide an estimate.  Let’s review some of the criteria we use to get the information we need to give our customers the answer they need. 

Should I File an Insurance Claim?

When we get this question, we always ask our clients what their deductible is. 

Your insurance deductible may guide your decision about whether or not to file an insurance claim.  An insurance deductible is the amount of money you agree to pay for the project yourself.  This amount is different for everyone.  To learn what your deductible is, look at your insurance policy or ask your insurance company.  

If it looks like the cost of the restoration project may be below your deductible, then ask for an estimate.  Many of our clients choose not to file a claim if the cost is below their deductible.  

If the restoration project is large, most of our clients choose to file an insurance claim.  This situation is usually true for:

• Large water damages involving multiple rooms
• Fire damage
• Large biohazards
• Crime scenes

If you do end up filing an insurance claim, your deductible will be paid directly to the damage restoration company you choose.  All other expenses that are covered under your claim will be taken care of by your insurance company.  

SERVPRO Has Agreements with Many Major Insurance Companies

Filing for an insurance claim can get complicated, and that’s why assign a Project Coordinator to each of our clients.  This person will:

• Guide you throughout the restoration process, from start to finish. 
• Work with your insurance adjuster on a daily basis to update them on the work being done on your property. 
• Tell your insurance company what services your property needs to get back to preloss condition and ask if they are covered.  If we get the go-ahead from your adjuster, then we start or continue to work on your property. 

As a SERVPRO  with over 30 years of experience, we have processed thousands of insurance claims.  Our team is knowledgeable about the insurance process, and we will help you get your claim processed. 

As a nationwide company, SERVPRO has many agreements with major insurance companies.  This means that we all utilize an industry-wide price list that both we and the insurance companies have agreed to.  All of our pricing comes from this price list. 

Our franchise accepts all insurance claims.  

What if I Pay Myself or Something Isn’t Covered by My Insurance?

If you are paying for the restoration project yourself, then we are not bound by the price list agreement we have with insurance companies.  We can only on rare instances maybe help out with a self-pay job.

Restoration (Not Replacement) is the Goal

Our goal is always to save as much of your property and items as possible.  

Damage restoration companies are typically preferred over demolition and new construction because restoration is:

• Less Expensive - this results in lower claims costs
• Faster - decrease your stress and return to normal faster 

Some items are also irreplaceable.  We have helped save cherished family heirlooms and other personally important items for our clients like childhood blankets and stuffed animals, wedding dresses, and much more. 

When a property has received extensive damage and demolition is necessary, our repairs and reconstruction division will take over.

-Wash your hands with soap and warm water.

Know that you are not alone, and We Are All In This Together!  

SERVPRO of Middletown/Springboro CAN:

1. Proactive Cleaning:  fogging and wiping down common touch areas

2. Suspected or confirmed cases:  fogging and detail clean

Sanitizing versus Disinfecting

Sanitizing – reduces but does not necessarily eliminate all the bacteria on a treated surface. Sanitizers do not have claims for viruses or fungi. To be a registered sanitizer, the test results for a product must show a reduction of at least a 99.9% in the number of each type of bacteria tested on non-food-contact surfaces. Examples of non-food-contact sanitizers include carpet sanitizers, air sanitizers, laundry additives, and in-tank toilet bowl sanitizers.

Disinfecting – works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs. Disinfecting destroys or irreversibly inactivates infectious or other undesirable microbes, but not necessarily the spores of bacteria and fungi. The number of microbes killed during a disinfecting process will vary, depending on the specific chemical and how it is used.

SERVPRO Industries, LLC has been dealing with biological hazards such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi for over 50 years.

Now is an opportune time to have SERVPRO of Middletown/Springboro conduct Proactive Cleaning services while facilities are unoccupied. This scenario allows our laborers to efficiently and effectively; build containment areas, gear up with appropriate PPE, and do what we do best – CLEAN!

Mold

10/17/2019 (Permalink)

Climate is a perfect environment for mold.  Over growth of indoor mold can occur for many reasons, the most typical setting we find an over growth of mold is in homes that have been unoccupied for a length of time.  The main reason for this is because of the lack of air movement in the home. When a home or business owner’s leave their property it is usually left lock up, window closed tight, and AC turned off. With our humid and moderate temperatures here in Hawaii a home without air movement can be a mold haven, a perfect place for it to grow undisturbed.

 Mold is present in almost every environment, indoor and outdoor. It isn't of much concern until the spore count ie, how much mold is present, reaches an unhealthy level. This is when health issues can arise. Mold is not only a health concern but it can also cause rot to occur on the surface it is growing on. This can weaken framing or cabinetry and decay sheet rock and flooring.

 If you find your home is in need of help due to an over growth of mold don't hesitate to call on SERVPRO of Warren County we are always here to help.

Disaster

10/16/2019 (Permalink)

There's nothing like when a good plan comes together. One of the best plans someone can make is to plan for disasters.

Ask yourself these questions: What will I do if there's a fire at my home or work? What if there's an extended power outage? If my family aren't together, how will we regroup? Am I prepared to evacuate and leave?

Your answer to those questions might say whether you need a plan or not. What's the first step? 

Have a conversation with your family, make a plan, and practice it. Follow alerts on social media/TV from emergency & weather responders. 

We never know when a disaster will happen, being prepared will help reinforce our families safety. And as always give us a call for any water, fire, or mold damages.

Depends on the Damage Source

Some policies cover mold caused by certain water sources. For example, sudden catastrophes, such as burst pipes or sewer backups, are more likely to be covered than lingering maintenance issues. However, fast action to mitigate the water damage is needed not to break your part of the agreement with your insurer. SERVPRO can respond quickly to any water or mold issue. There are policies that put a small limit on the liability to repair, usually only about $5 to 20 thousand dollars. This may be just a drop in the bucket for the actual cost of a mold remediation project.

Your mold coverage likely will not include the following sources of water damage:

Continuous faucet leaks, ignored by the homeowner
Drainage problems in the yard, exterior issue
Condensation buildup from lack of proper ventilation
Flood waters

Containment

9/12/2019 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO of Warren County, we know that business goes on even when there is a problem.  Every minute down is dollars lost.  We do our best to optimize that experience when we are on site.  

Here is an example of containment being set - when we seal off areas undergoing work from other areas in use by company employees so there is no transfer of dust, mist or spores.

We have a variety of barriers and drop walls that we install and seal, and in certain situations like mold will use pressure so that contaminants don't transfer out of the affected areas.  

We are skilled and experienced in these procedures and have many satisfied clients who were able to maintain daily operations even as we were on site for them.  Call us to inquire.

Mold

In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there's a water intrusion, like a roof leak or leaking water line. Mold can cause health effects and can also cause significant damage to your property. SERVPRO of Warren County has the training, protective gear, and specialized equipment necessary to handle your mold problem. 

Mold spores

9/11/2019 (Permalink)

Mold is microscopic which cannot be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, it is very hard to determine if your home has mold unless you can visibly see the  growth. Mold needs water to grow, and a food source and will grow if there are leaks, of course if there is mold spore.

Hidden mold can be found by doing some simple sleuthing:

• Where do you have water problems?
• Check under windows since condensation can form and mold will grow on the sill.
• Bathrooms have a lot of water. Any leak or corner that collects moisture is a potential place for mold growth.
• The water heater and water softener are notorious for having leaks, especially when the water softener purges.
• You can often find mold around the edges of their tanks.

Fire and smoke damage

7/26/2019 (Permalink)

When fires occurs, in both residential homes and business, it’s not just the cleaning up of the structural areas that we need to be concerned with.

Our crews have to be so careful with the homeowner’s personal belongings because the insurance companies need very specific documentation in order to appropriately compensate the insured so they they have money to replace all of the damaged items. The fallen debris must be sifted through prior to bagging for disposal so that any contents, which may be very small items, can be separated for further valuation.

SERVPRO of Warren County’s team members need to be very aware of properly bagging and separating customers content, so taking our time in small spaces with lots of contents is a very important part of the clean-up process after a smoke damage after a fire.

Biohazardous Clean Ups By SERVPRO of Warren County Means Good Results

A biohazard spill often involves some type of bodily fluid. In private homes, this usually means a blood spill. There are certain risks when it comes to restoring a home after an incident with blood happens, and they need to seriously considered before cleanup efforts begin.
 
Residents should not attempt to clean up a blood spill in their home. Even without the emotional component, there is the risk of disease and other pathogens in even a small amount of blood. SERVPRO of Warren County understands both elements and how to deal with them when developing a restoration plan.
 
Cleaning and removing blood and blood stains require chemical cleaners designed to neutralize the pathogens in them. Infectious diseases found in blood spills and splatters include Hepatitis A, B, and C, as well as HIV and many others. To ensure we do this properly, our technicians utilize anti-bacterial cleaners we keep on-hand.
 
The anti-bacterial cleaners are necessary since blood does not respond to conventional cleaners like dirt or soot. Conventional agents do not always clean blood completely and even when they do, there is often, a stain remaining at the spill point. Leaving a visible mark is not something we accept; if we cannot remove the entire mark, our technicians can repaint the affected area or remove the stained structural property.
 
 Restoring your home after any disaster is difficult. Cleaning up a blood spill is one of the more difficult tasks we face, but SERVPRO of Warren County is here to help. We want to return your home to its original state so that you can move forward when the time is right for you. Call us today at. Call (513)932-3649 to schedule an inspection and get started.

Always Choose a Trained Professional

• Because it’s traumatic: No one should have to deal with the personal impact of cleaning up after the traumatic loss of a loved one. SERVPRO of Warren County can get a situation cleaned up quickly, compassionately and discreetly.
• Because it’s safer: Federal regulations classify all human and animal remains, including blood, urine, feces, vomit and bodily fluids, as biohazards. This is because they have the potential of carrying life-threatening pathogens such as Hepatitis B and C, AIDS, HIV, MRSA, Tuberculosis and many more. The safe cleanup and removal of biohazardous materials involves extensive analysis and detailed work, and the use of state-of-the-art cleaning and odor removal technologies.

Licensed Bonded & Insured

• It is important to use licensed professionals because they conduct safe cleanup, removal and disposal of biohazardous waste. Additional considerations include being registered and compliant with OSHA and FEMA, federal agencies that oversee disasters and workplace safety. Cleanup crews will be coming into your home or the home of your loved one, so be sure the professional you choose is bonded and insured.

Toilet Overflow or Sewer Backup?

Category 1: "Clean Water"

Category 1 water is from a clean source like a broken water supply line or leaking faucet. If not treated quickly, this water can turn into category 2 or 3, depending on length of time, temperature, and contact with surrounding contaminants.

• Water from a clean source like a broken water line
• If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3 in which mold can possibly start forming colonies.

Category 2: "Gray Water"

Category 2 water is contaminated and could cause discomfort or illness. Examples include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

• May contain bacteria and viruses
• Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: "Black Water"

Category 3 water is grossly contaminated and could cause severe illness or death if ingested and any contact should be avoided. Examples include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

• May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

What to do if mold is in your home/business

8/22/2018 (Permalink)

If you see visible mold, do not disturb it. You can inadvertently spread the mold infestation throughout your home/business. When mold is disturbed, the mold can release microscopic mold spores which become airborne and can circulate inside your home(mold spores can take several days to land on a surface once airborne). 

What to Do: 

• Stay out of affected areas. 
• Turn off the HVAC system and fans. 
• Contact SERVPRO of Warren County for mold remediation services. 

What Not to Do: 

• Don’t touch or disturb the mold. 
• Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth. 
• Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself. 
• Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold.
