This is one of the HVAC units cleaned at the private school. It goes to show our NADCA trained technicians can handle any size unit, from commercial to residential. Ventilation systems are often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality. Make it a priority to inspect the ductwork of your home or business.

If your HVAC has been operating for some time without attention, it could be circulating odors, dust and other contaminates.

This was the aftermath of a broken HVAC supply line that leaked into the utility and bathroom. There was significant damage to the bathroom, utility room, and living room. When vanities are affected, they are either removed or modified to allow for drying. SERVPRO crews drilled small holes into the toe kick to allow air circulation thus saving the vanity and sink. This allows more minimal demolition and quicker put back time. All that is needed after mitigation is the put back of the toe kick! For all your water-related cleanup needs give SERVPRO of Northwest Orlando a call.

A twisted or snapped supply line is one of the most common issues in a water damage, especially for a washing machine where large volumes of water flow in a short amount of time. That was the case when this two story apartment flooded from the washer down into the downstairs kitchen.

This is a quick and efficient SERVPRO process to dry out tough to reach materials. Our customer couldn't believe how quickly we were able to dry out their home. We make disaster "Like it never even happened." 

SERVPRO's next specialized equipment is the Thermal Fogger. If you have ever had a mold outbreak in your house then you probably know that the mold you can see is only the beginning of the problem. Believe it or not, only 10% of mold is visible – the other 90% is microscopic. Foggers are used mostly in crawlspaces where some spots may be difficult to assess. Once joists are wiped and vacuumed, crews fog the entire areas with specialized product. 

Our next equipment spotlight is the SERVPRO dehumidifier. A dehu is essential to reducing humidity in your home or business after a water damage. Dehumidifiers reduce humidity levels, making your home less hospitable to allergens such as dust mites, mold, and mildew. While working along side air movers, many of SERVPRO's dehu's can pump up to 160 pints of water per day greatly reducing your moisture readings. Like we discussed in previous spotlights, SERVPRO's goal is to have a moisture reading below 17%. This ensures that all affected materials are dried and reduces your chances of mold damage down the line. 

Our next equipment spotlight is the SERVPRO Air Mover. Air movers are an essential tool for water restoration jobs. They offer high-velocity airflow, which leads to faster drying times to help get the job done quicker and more efficiently. Professional grade air movers are used to improve air circulation to speed up evaporation and reduce drying times. This helps get your home or business back together and running smoothly. Simply put, air movers are heavy duty industrial fans used to speed up the drying process due to water damage, whether caused by heavy storms, flash floods, hurricanes, leaky pipes, etc.

SERVPRO of Northwest Orlando uses specialized equipment to determine the scope of your water damage at this stage. We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. Today's spotlight is on the protimeter or moisture meter. The moisture meter is simplified into three distinct stages. Moisture below 17% is considered dry and is color-coded green. Next is "At Risk" which is given the color yellow. Finally a "Wet" reading is anything over 21%, since this is the industry standard. This allows us to thoroughly and quickly restore your home back to preloss condition.

Mold thrives in areas with lots of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, pipes, or where there has been flooding. In this example, the HVAC was leaking causing mold growth surrounding it. Most homeowners only notice their attic is leaking from above and don't realize the mold that is growing. Once the HVAC company fixes the leak, our crews went to work to dry out the attic while at the same time cleaning all visible mold from the affected area.
