Flood Inspection

8/1/2022 (Permalink)

Many of us have suffered water damage at some point in our lives or know someone who has. It can be devastating, unexpected, and very problematic.

Water damage is a hazard and happens a lot more often than you might imagine. One of the worst effects of water damage is the growth and spreading of mold and mildew. Water-logged areas can see mold growth after a couple of days.

Some causes of water removal services can be needed in a home or commercial building include

• Broken or leaking plumbing
• Clogged toilets
• Leaking roof
• Faulty or malfunctioning appliances
• Issues with HVACs (heating, ventilating and air conditioning units)
• Natural disasters/weather related

Should any of these scenarios arise SERVPRO will send their IICRC Certified technicians to complete emergency water restoration services. Water Restoration Steps may include:

• Inspection and Assessment. SERVPRO of Camarillo performs a thorough damage assessment of the location of the damage
• Water Removal. The next step in the restoration process is to remove standing water via water extraction
• Drying and Dehumidifying
• Cleaning and Sanitizing
• Complete Restoration

The ultimate goal at SERVPRO is to leave the customers satisfied by the job completed and feeling “Like it never even happened.”

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to check on your kids and putting your feet on the floor only to find that your feet are in 6 inches of water. Believe or not, this scenario happens more than you think.

How would you handle this?

Who would be your first call?

How many towels would you have available to sop of the water?

Where did it come from?

What am I going to do now?

These are some of the first things that would likely run through your mind. While trying to remain calm, he first thing you want to do of course, is check on your family. Once you know everyone is safe, try to locate the source of the water and get it stopped. It could be a toilet supply line, shut it off immediately.

You can also use towels, rugs, or any other items with a high absorbent capacity to block opening such as doorways limiting the spread of water from the initial loss area.

Removing water from the affected areas and cleaning any form of soiling caused by the spill plays a significant role in restoring the property to its preloss state. Fast and thorough what extraction requires the right equipment and expertise. We have IICRC certified water restoration technicians at SERVPRO who apply their advanced skills to manage the process.

Sewage Issues in Your Camarillo Property?

10/15/2021 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO of Camarillo at 805-484-5009 for ANY sewage backup.

Are Sewage Backups Common?

While a blocked sewer drain is relatively common in properties, legitimate concerns over sewer line functionality may be few and far between. However, when major sewer line issues occur, it is essential to remedy the problems quickly to avoid potential backups and structural damage. Be aware of these four signs, which may indicate sewer line problems.

1. Odors

While drain or toilet overflow are frequent problems in commercial properties, you should pay attention to odors surrounding these problems. For instance, if after clearing a clog you smell sewer gas, you may want to call a plumber for an inspection, as strong sewer smells can be an indicator of issues further in the line.

2. Clogged Drains

A blocked sewer will not only cause unpleasant odors to occur in your building, but the blocked pipe can also cause frequent clogging of your drains and toilets. This problem may also cause sewer backups into your facility.

3. Indentations in Landscaping

Also, while you may not have any clogging issues, it is still possible that your sewer lines have failed. Pipe breaks may cause indentations in your landscaping, like divots on the lawn. If the break is severe enough, it is possible that sewage is leaking into the grounds of your property. Eventually, this can also lead to a sewage backup in your building.

4. Deformations in Landscaping

In addition to indentations in the lawn, you may notice perpetual puddling in certain areas. You may also see that areas of your parking lot have sunken or cracked along with sidewalks. Depending on how close the break is to your building, you may even notice cracks in the foundation. These issues often require the expertise of a disaster restoration specialist in the area to resolve, which depending on your insurance policy may be covered.

A blocked sewer line can wreak havoc on a business or home and may even lead to significant interruption. You should be aware of the warning signs of such a problem so that you can resolve the issue as early as possible.

All sewage is considered hazardous and special procedures are required to remediate ANY sewage backup or spill and should not be handled by untrained persons.

Call SERVPRO of Camarillo at 805-484-5009 and we'll dispatch trained IICRC Certified technicians to make it "Like it never even happened."

Why SERVPRO Professionals Can Handle Water Damage in Your Camarillo Home Better

Water damage is unpleasant to handle. Water can leave unsightly stains on ceilings, floors, and walls. Moisture can ruin furniture, carpets, and rugs, and if the damage is severe, you may have to discard them. An example is when water causes a carpet to get delaminated, meaning that the backing has separated from the actual carpet.

Moisture can lead to mold

which can cause health effects to people living in the house. As you deal with water damage in your Camarillo home, many questions can race through your mind, including whether to call for professional help or to clean up the affected surfaces yourself. Contacting a licensed restoration company like SERVPRO is essential since we can help you handle this problem efficiently.

Pooling water is a clear sign that water damage has happened in your home. However, sometimes, it can happen in less dramatic ways. Some other indications of water damage include:

    •    Visible mold on walls and ceilings
    •    Blistering, stains, and discoloration of walls
    •    Rotting odors
    •    Cracks on the walls, floors, and drywall
    •    Warped or bowed walls

It is overwhelming to deal with such issues on your own. Our technicians are knowledgeable about building and material science. We do not merely place drying equipment in a home, but instead, establish a drying plan based on the challenges and needs of a project. We can anticipate many issues and limit surprises. Our restorers can remove the water and dry your home quickly using pumps, air movers, and dehumidifiers to minimize exposure time. Removing the water and moisture speedily limits the chance of primary and secondary damage occurring.

Water can hide in challenging areas. Our SERVPRO team can carefully inspect the areas of your home where water has intruded and defined the extent to which contents and structure have absorbed moisture beyond normal levels. We can use thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, or moisture sensors to check for hidden moisture and then dry your home thoroughly.

Hiring one competent company for the entire restoration process can help you reduce costs and save time. We can simplify the restoration process by performing the initial cleanup work and rebuilding the affected areas. Some steps we can take to restore your home to full functionality include:

    •    Repairing the above-ground structural components of the house, such as doorways and window frames, exterior walls, and floors.
    •    Patching cracks in mortar and the foundation.
    •    Waterproofing essential elements of your home to ensure that the problem does not occur again.

Other Restoration Companies are NOT Telling You About Water Removal in Camarillo

Complete water removal services include eliminating excess moisture from wherever it went inside your property.

We Are Always Partnering with Homeowners for Water Removal Services to Mitigate Damaged Homes in Camarillo

Many disasters require the quickest possible water removal in Camarillo of unwanted and invasive water and moisture from houses before severe damage sets in and begins destroying materials and belongings. Before SERVPRO technicians arrive, we encourage homeowners to turn off water mains if they can safely accomplish this. Always keep electrical wiring and its proximity when doing this. You should also keep other hazards in mind, such as broken glass or splintered wood, especially in a flooded house. Turbulence can stir up water so much, seeing the bottom and any dangers within the water can become almost impossible.

Even if a broken line to your washing machine comes loose and the water is clean, your ability to see through it may be short-lived. Mixing with detergent or other items in your property often makes such clear previously water opaque. Keeping detergents up on shelves, above the laundry facilities, places it out of reach of children, pets, and washing machine mishaps. SERVPRO employees working on your home use highly effective water removal techniques to extract this water so we can begin drying everything out.

A crucial part of our water removal work involves testing for water vapor amounts in the air. We also use instruments to determine the amount of moisture held by different materials. While flooding from most sources means water stays on the floor, evaporation can cause items higher up, far away from where you walk, to absorb moisture and become breeding grounds for microbes. Complete water removal services include eliminating excess moisture from wherever it went inside your property.

Homeowners who decrease the amount of water that spills into their house from a broken or loosened pipe by turning its valve or the water main off do a significant favor for their property. Decreasing the number of gallons invading your home means our work comes to a satisfactory conclusion all that much faster.

SERVPRO of Camarillo's IICRC-certified technicians arrive at your home ready to make everything “Like it never even happened” as soon as possible after you call our 24-hour service line, (805) 984-2347. We immediately start restoring your home using effective water removal methods that quickly stops current damage.

Los servicios completos de remoción de agua incluyen eliminar el exceso de humedad de cualquier lugar dentro de su propiedad.

Siempre nos asociamos con propietarios de viviendas para servicios de eliminación de agua para mitigar las viviendas dañadas en Camarillo

Muchos desastres requieren la eliminación de agua más rápida posible en Camarillo de agua y humedad no deseadas e invasivas de las casas antes de que se produzcan daños graves y comiencen a destruir materiales y pertenencias. Antes de que lleguen los técnicos de SERVPRO, recomendamos a los propietarios que apaguen el suministro de agua si pueden lograrlo de manera segura. Mantenga siempre el cableado eléctrico y su proximidad al hacer esto. También debe tener en cuenta otros peligros, como vidrios rotos o madera astillada, especialmente en una casa inundada. La turbulencia puede agitar tanto el agua, ver el fondo y cualquier peligro dentro del agua puede volverse casi imposible.

Incluso si se suelta una línea discontinua de su lavadora y el agua está limpia, su capacidad para ver a través de ella puede ser de corta duración. Mezclar con detergente u otros elementos en su propiedad a menudo hace que el agua se vuelva opaca. Mantener los detergentes en los estantes, encima de las instalaciones de lavandería, los coloca fuera del alcance de los niños, las mascotas y los percances de la lavadora. Los empleados de SERVPRO que trabajan en su hogar utilizan técnicas de eliminación de agua altamente efectivas para extraer esta agua para que podamos comenzar a secar todo.

Una parte crucial de nuestro trabajo de remoción de agua consiste en probar las cantidades de vapor de agua en el aire. También utilizamos instrumentos para determinar la cantidad de humedad retenida por diferentes materiales. Si bien las inundaciones de la mayoría de las fuentes significan que el agua permanece en el piso, la evaporación puede hacer que los elementos que se encuentran más arriba, lejos de donde camina, absorban la humedad y se conviertan en criaderos de microbios. Los servicios completos de remoción de agua incluyen eliminar el exceso de humedad de cualquier lugar dentro de su propiedad.

Los propietarios que reducen la cantidad de agua que se derrama en su casa por una tubería rota o aflojada al cerrar la válvula o la tubería principal de agua, hacen un favor significativo para su propiedad. Disminuir la cantidad de galones que invaden su hogar significa que nuestro trabajo llega a una conclusión satisfactoria mucho más rápido.

Los técnicos certificados por IICRC de SERVPRO de Camarillo llegan a su casa listos para hacer que todo “como si nunca hubiera sucedido” tan pronto como sea posible después de llamar a nuestra línea de servicio las 24 horas, (805) 984-2347. Inmediatamente comenzamos a restaurar su hogar utilizando métodos efectivos de eliminación de agua que detienen rápidamente los daños actuales.

Cómo SERVPRO seca las estructuras y mitiga una pérdida de agua en Camarillo

10/19/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO no deja puerta sin abrir en su búsqueda de mitigación de daños por agua en propiedades comerciales y residenciales de Camarillo

Muchas emergencias por daños por agua en Camarillo no afectan a toda la casa o negocio, pero incluso un poco de agua puede ser devastadora para una estructura si no se maneja correctamente. Una fuga de plomería en el segundo piso puede resultar en techos caídos en el primer piso. Los electrodomésticos pueden fallar y descargar galones de agua en un período corto. Cuanto más tiempo permanece el agua, más daño causa.

SERVPRO de Camarillo presta especial atención a la estructura de cualquier limpieza de emergencia que hacemos. Sabemos que cuanto más rápido se limpia el agua y se seca la propiedad, mayor es el potencial para minimizar las pérdidas. Cuando se comunica con nuestro equipo de respuesta a emergencias, hacemos preguntas pertinentes a la situación para garantizar que nuestros técnicos tengan el equipo adecuado para su situación.

¿Cómo afectan los daños por agua a las estructuras?

No importa dónde una estructura se vea afectada por una pérdida de agua, nuestros técnicos de SERVPRO de Camarillo cuentan con la capacitación y el equipo especializados para manejarla. Dependiendo del área de la propiedad afectada, se utilizan diferentes técnicas para mitigar los daños.
En los áticos, los derrames de agua requieren una acción rápida. Especialmente si la ventilación está bloqueada o es deficiente, la humedad puede acumularse rápidamente y el crecimiento de moho es una preocupación. El aislamiento hecho de celulosa tiende a aplanarse y apelmazarse cuando está mojado y el aislamiento de lana de roca tiene un contenido de metal que puede oxidarse cuando se expone al agua y, a menudo, es irrecuperable. La fibra de vidrio es un aislamiento no poroso y se puede secar y reinstalar caso por caso. Nuestro equipo de SERVPRO de Camarillo tiene la capacitación para identificar problemas de flujo de aire y sugerir soluciones al propietario después de secar y remediar el espacio.
No todas las pérdidas de agua en una casa o negocio resultan en humedad detrás de las paredes. Nuestros técnicos verifican cada llamada de emergencia para determinar si hay barreras de vapor detrás de las paredes utilizando medidores de humedad e imágenes térmicas para garantizar que no se pierda nada. Si las paredes están mojadas debido a una fuga de plomería u otra razón, los técnicos de SERVPRO perforan orificios de drenaje y quitan los zócalos cuando sea necesario para permitir un flujo de aire adecuado durante la fase de secado de la reparación.

El suelo necesita atención rápida

Los técnicos de SERVPRO de Camarillo saben que todo tipo de pisos requieren una rápida limpieza y remediación con agua. El adhesivo de las baldosas se puede aflojar y perder si se expone a condiciones de alta humedad durante demasiado tiempo. Es posible que los tableros compuestos y diseñados para pisos de madera no se puedan recuperar de una pérdida de agua.
Los pisos de madera dura, aunque pueden ahuecarse y doblarse a medida que la madera absorbe el agua, a veces se pueden recuperar si se detectan lo suficientemente temprano, utilizando equipo de secado especializado, como tapetes de secado. Los técnicos de SERVPRO usan tapetes con agujeros para conectar numerosas mangueras que fuerzan el aire hacia las tablas del piso mojadas.

SERVPRO tiene equipos especializados para el secado

Cuando las áreas internas detrás de las paredes y zócalos, áticos u otras áreas de una estructura se ven afectadas por daños por agua, nuestros técnicos instalan deshumidificadores y motores de aire con mangueras que dirigen el aire hacia las cavidades de la pared para garantizar que los niveles de humedad se reduzcan rápidamente para un secado más rápido. Este sistema injecti-dry extrae el vapor de agua para que se seque más rápido.
La puesta a punto del equipo de secado es única para cada llamada de emergencia en la que trabaja SERVPRO de Camarillo. Los motores de aire se colocan en ángulos para expulsar el vapor de agua de las superficies. A medida que aumenta el vapor de agua, es capturado y eliminado por un equipo deshumidificador.
Los deshumidificadores se utilizan cuando se ejecutan los motores de aire para un secado eficiente de la estructura. Los paneles de yeso que están demasiado saturados para salvarlos mediante los esfuerzos de restauración se miden con nuestro equipo de detección y se retiran por encima de donde termina la humedad para asegurarse de que no queden restos de humedad.

Limpieza y desodorización a fondo después del secado

Una vez que las superficies están secas, los técnicos en daños por moho y agua utilizan nuestras soluciones antifúngicas y antibacterianas para limpiar y limpiar cualquier lugar que haya sido afectado por el agua. Esta acción no solo limpia y deja un aroma fresco, sino que también inhibe el crecimiento de moho y hongos.
El secado de la estructura elimina la mayoría de los olores que estaban presentes cuando la estructura estaba mojada. Si queda un olor fuerte y se ha reducido la posibilidad de que se forme moho, nuestros técnicos pueden utilizar métodos robustos de control de olores según sea necesario para neutralizar los olores. Tenemos métodos que van desde gránulos de gel de liberación prolongada para olores suaves hasta soluciones de nebulización suministradas por técnicos para eliminar los olores a nivel molecular.

Debido a que el moho es un problema de un ambiente demasiado húmedo, volver a mojar el ambiente para limpiarlo puede parecer contraproducente. Una forma eficaz de eliminar las colonias de moho de la madera o las estructuras orgánicas que es un método seco es el chorro de soda. Después de contener el área para evitar la propagación de esporas, se administra una mezcla abrasiva de bicarbonato de sodio (bicarbonato de sodio) a alta velocidad dirigida a las colonias de moho. Esta ligera abrasión afloja el molde y permite una fácil limpieza. Nuestros técnicos pueden diagnosticar por qué el moho es un problema para el propietario y sugerir los pasos que se pueden tomar para evitar el regreso del moho en el futuro.
Una vez que nuestros técnicos han completado el trabajo en la propiedad, hacemos un recorrido con el propietario y el ajustador si es necesario para asegurarnos de que se hayan abordado todos los problemas de daños por agua en el hogar o el negocio. Sabemos que un evento de pérdida de agua es estresante, y nuestra meta en cada limpieza es la reparación rápida y la satisfacción con el resultado.

SERVPRO of Camarillo tiene la experiencia y los recursos para hacer retroceder el tiempo en daños por agua en su hogar o propiedad comercial. Estamos orgullosos de servir a nuestra comunidad local en Camarillo y las áreas de 93010 y 93012.

Fire might be a homeowner’s greatest fear, but any insurance company will tell you that water is the far more common cause of property damage, even if you don’t live in an area subject to flooding. And it can come from many sources: A failing water heater, a burst pipe, a broken supply line under your sink, a clogged toilet, or even a split hose connected to your washing machine.

Just as it’s essential to have a smoke detector in each of your home’s bedrooms and common areas, you’d be wise to install leak detectors in places where water damage could start: The laundry room, water heater closet, the bathroom, under your kitchen sink, and so on. Leak alerts are arguably less important for renters, but it’s something landlords might want to consider—although that raises the issue of how the sensors would connect to the internet.

High Humidity Can Cause Water Problems in Camarillo Properties--Call SERVPRO for Rapid Removal and Reduced Damages

7/13/2020 (Permalink)

A small windowless bathroom with poor-quality ventilation can suffer water damage from all the steam created by daily showers.

When the shower in your bathroom runs, the steam and moisture settle onto your walls and belongings because it has nowhere else to go. Should the water accumulation be left unchecked, it can develop issues inside of your small restroom, such as mold damage. You can prevent further complications inside of your home by calling for professional remediation services.

Advanced equipment is needed to tackle the water damage inside of your Camarillo home. Technicians can use moisture meters to determine the levels in your bathroom and estimate how long remediation may take. Once the technicians have an idea, they can establish a drying plan and begin to set up equipment in a specific way that is most suited for the shape of your bathroom and the location of the water damage. We check ceiling and wall voids to ensure all dampness is located and dried.
 
When you call SERVPRO, our technicians always make it a priority to arrive at your home swiftly. We understand how time sensitive that water damage, and other home damages, can be when allowed to continue to degrade building materials and possessions. Within hours we can arrive at your home with the proper tools for the job. The sooner that we can service your home, the quicker you can return to your life "Like it never even happened."
 
SERVPRO uses equipment such as dehumidifiers, air movers, and ventilation fans to remediate water damage. While these tools do have their individual functions, to dry water, they must be used in a unified, strategic manner. Using the tools together creates an ideal environment that is exceptionally proficient at reducing moisture, restoring acceptable levels of SH specific humidity. Once the job is done, our SERVPRO technicians can check one more time to ensure a dry environment is once again the norm.

Sometimes you have to just know who to call in case of an emergency. Contact SERVPRO for water damage remediation services right away.

My Home Office is Underwater

Many of us work from home either as a permanent arrangement or on occasion.  To do so, we typically have an area designated as a work station, with all relevant documents, computer equipment, and working tools readily available.  Imagine for a minute that you arrive into your home office only to find out that a neighboring unit has some plumbing issues, and there is water seeping through the roof and down your walls, compromising your space. These situations call for professional water cleanup services to help you return to work as soon as possible.

When you need water cleanup services in Camarillo, SERVPRO is your company of choice.  Our technicians hold academic certifications verifying their business acumen but, most importantly, we are quick to respond to your call. Once we arrive at your home office, we develop a detailed action plan to extract and preserve your home as much as possible.  Just reach out to our 24/7 hotline and let our competent crew guide you through the water extraction and drying process.

Clients with work documents often worry about keeping them safe and recovering them.  Our SERVPRO team knows that document preservation goes well beyond extracting water. We typically consider several options when looking at your specific needs, and they may include freezer drying, thermal drying, and dehumidification, among others.  Many of our actions seek to freeze documents and then attempt to transform ice into vapor without going through a liquid stage, otherwise known as sublimation. It can be a time-consuming process, but well worth it for priceless pieces. When considering the next steps, our team is here to help you determine the best course of action for each document.

Electronics such as computers represent another type of challenge to our SERVPRO staff.  Once again, we place close attention to the state of the computer and determine with you whether it is worth recovering.  If the answer is yes, we take every step to try and preserve it despite the water damage. When necessary, we work with you to coordinate with specialized repair services.

SERVPRO of Camarillo is your ally, whether the emergency happens in your home or you are merely collateral damage.  Call us at (805) 484-5009 and let our team work hard to leave your home office “Like it never even happened.”

When your kitchen sink supply line breaks, our crew has your back! We have the equipment to restore your home 24/7.

Water Cleanup of Your Camarillo Home Protects Against Higher Costs, Extensive Damage, and Lost Possessions

After one of your toilets overflows, avoiding that bathroom and using another one leaves the situation to grow worse. Shutting the door does not keep contaminated water from seeping through seams between the floor's edge and the tub or other fixtures in the room. Your Camarillo home deserves better. SERVPRO can get things back to normal for you quickly, so your family can avoid the risks that arise from such murky situations. 

When a customer calls about their house in Camarillo needing water cleanup after a toilet overflows, we start working on the situation as soon as we arrive. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster, and any type, too. Because we keep our Green Fleet prepared at all times, we do not need to add containers of disinfectant, other chemicals, or equipment before leaving. If a problem still exists with the toilet, our building services crew is available to fix the problem.

Doing as little as possible and just cleaning the visible mess might seem the most cost-effective method. However, this only makes things look like the job is taken care of adequately. SERVPRO knows that to provide customers with real value, we must eliminate all of the water, wherever it migrated, and clean up the contamination. Only this way can we prevent damage from spreading and affecting other areas of your house. This also keeps damage to your family's possessions minimized.

Larger areas affected by water damage cost more, even if not initially. It is better for us to do a complete and thorough job now than to wait until damaged areas become impossible for you to ignore. Achieving this might require us to set up air movers in adjacent locations, or even place them on other floors of your residence. 

Air movers do more than dry the structures in your home. While they push the air around, they also draw moisture that your walls absorbed and pulling it back into the air. This raises the water vapor levels, but our dehumidifiers strip this out of the air as it passes through. The dry air that exits the machine can then absorb more moisture, until the area becomes dry again. 

This drier environment becomes inhospitable to microbes. Our disinfecting sprays that we apply as soon as we start working already killed off the majority of those present, but the dry conditions we work toward help finish off the more hardy microbes. 

Fewer microbes in the area means fewer things become damaged, like clothing, towels, and other items that you store in or near the bathroom. Because they are microscopic, they can hide inside the smallest cracks and avoid topical sprays. Arid conditions finish off the last few and keep your belongings from becoming damaged. 

When SERVPRO of Camarillo completes a job, the property is just “Like it never even happened.” Call us at (805) 484-5009 when you need water cleanup services of situations involving clean or dirty water, so we can protect your home through proper mitigation.

Making use of your basement as an additional living space is a great idea. Preparing it for your teenager and his friends to use it as a place to hang out and spend time together, gives you peace of mind. However, what happens when one day you find the basement plumbing has burst and soaked carpeting and furniture, leaving the whole space feeling like a giant puddle and challenging to restore? Reaching out to a professional team makes all the difference in making sure the restoration process is complete, but there are steps you can take while the pros arrive.

Our water restoration technicians (WRT) are certified to apply the latest industry techniques to extract water from your basement and prevent future consequences. In the meantime, you can protect your home by taking the following action steps:

    •    Make sure that the source of the leak is repaired. Sometimes it is hard to identify where the problem is, but not fixing it is just an invitation for future issues.

    •    Isolate the area affected as much as possible. Plastic sheeting and other waterproof barriers can help prevent the spread of water throughout your basement.

SERVPRO Leaves No Door Unopened in Its Quest for Water Damage Mitigation in Commercial and Residential Camarillo Properties

How SERVPRO Dries Structures and Mitigates a Water Loss in Camarillo

Many water damage emergencies in Camarillo do not affect the whole home or business, but even a little water can be devastating to a structure if it is not handled correctly. A second-floor plumbing leak can result in sagging ceilings on the first floor. Appliances can fail and dump gallons of water in a short period. The longer the water stands, the more damage it does.

SERVPRO of Camarillo gives special attention to the structure of any emergency clean up we do. We know the faster water is cleaned up and the property dried, the higher the potential to minimize loss. When you contact our emergency response team, we ask questions pertinent to the situation to ensure our technicians have the right equipment for your situation.

How Does Water Damage Affect Structures?

No matter where a structure is affected by a water loss, our SERVPRO of Camarillo technicians have the specialized training and equipment to handle it. Depending on the area of the property affected, different techniques are used to mitigate damage.

In attics, water spills require fast action. Especially if ventilation is blocked or deficient, moisture can build up quickly, and mold growth is a concern. Insulation made from cellulose tends to flatten and mat when wet and Rockwool insulation has metal content that may rust when exposed to water and is often unrecoverable. Fiberglass is nonporous insulation and can be dried and reinstalled on a case by case basis. Our SERVPRO of Camarillo team has the training to identify airflow problems and suggest solutions to the property owner after drying and remediating the space.

Not every water loss in a home or business results in moisture behind the walls. Our technicians check on every emergency call to determine if there are any vapor barriers behind walls using moisture meters and thermal imaging to ensure nothing is missed. If walls are wet due to a plumbing leak or other reason, SERVPRO technicians drill weep holes and remove baseboards when needed to allow for adequate airflow during the drying phase of remediation.

Flooring Needs Fast Attention

SERVPRO of Camarillo technicians know that all types of flooring require quick water cleanup and remediation. The adhesive on tiles maybe loosens and be a loss if exposed to high moisture conditions for too long. Composite and engineered boards for wood flooring may not be recoverable from a water loss.

Hardwood flooring, although it may cup and buckle as the wood absorbs water, can sometimes be recovered if it is caught early enough, using the specialized drying equipment such as drying mats. SERVPRO technicians use mats with holes in them to attach numerous hoses that force air into the wet floorboards.

SERVPRO Has Specialized Equipment for Drying

When the inner areas behind walls and baseboards, attics or other areas of a structure are affected by water damage, our technicians set up dehumidifiers and air movers with hoses directing air into the wall cavities to ensure moisture levels are reduced quickly for faster drying. This injecti-dry system pulls the water vapor out so it can dry faster.

The setting up of the drying equipment is unique to each emergency call SERVPRO of Camarillo works on. The air movers are positioned at angles to force water vapor off the surfaces. As the water vapor rises, it is captured and eliminated by dehumidifying equipment.

Dehumidifiers are used when running the air movers for efficient drying of the structure. Drywall that is too saturated to save through restoration efforts is measured with our detection equipment and removed above where the moisture ends to be sure no residual wetness remains.

Thorough Cleaning and Deodorizing After Drying

Once the surfaces are dry, water and mold damage technicians use our antifungal and antibacterial solutions to wipe down and clean anywhere that was affected by water. This action not only cleans and leaves a fresh scent, but it also inhibits the growth of mold and mildew.

Drying the structure eliminates most odors that were present when the structure was wet. If a strong smell remains and the possibility of mold has been reduced, robust odor control methods can be used by our technicians as needed to neutralize odors. We have methods ranging from time release gel pellets for mild odors to fogging solutions delivered by technicians to eliminate odors at the molecular level.

Avoiding Mold After Water Damage

When SERVPRO technicians work on a water removal or cleanup job, mold growth is always a concern as a secondary effect of a wet structure. Slow leaks, poor venting and vapor barriers that have been unseen in attics, behind walls, or areas of the property that are not checked often can harbor mold colonies. We have specialized methods for mold abatement that limits the spread of spores during remediation if mold is found to be already resident.

Because mold is a problem of an overly moist environment, rewetting the environment to clean it can seem counterproductive. One effective way to remove mold colonies from wood or organic structures that is a dry method is soda blasting. After containing the area to prevent the spread of spores, an abrasive mixture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is delivered at a high rate of speed directed at mold colonies. This light abrasion loosens the mold and allows for easy cleanup. Our technicians can diagnose why the mold is an issue for the property owner and suggest steps that can be taken to avoid the return of mold in the future.

Once our technicians have completed work on the property, we do a walk-through with the owner and adjuster if necessary to ensure all water damage issues in the home or business have been addressed. We know a water loss event is stressful, and fast remediation and satisfaction with the result is our goal on every cleanup.

SERVPRO of Camarillo has the expertise and resources to turn back the clock on water damage in your home or commercial property. We are proud to serve our local community in Camarillo and the areas of 93010, and 93012. Our emergency response team is available 24/7 and arrive within hours after your initial call.

Hardwood Floors, Camarillo, and SERVPRO after a Water Loss

Water Cleanup Procedures to Restore the Floors of Your Camarillo Property

The water cleanup procedures that we put in place are determined by the severity of the water-damaging incident. Some situations may be regarded as minor, while some as major cleanup tasks. No matter how lesser the event is, without immediate response, that insignificant damage may end up spreading to the entire structure. To prevent continued effects on your Camarillo property, drying the moisture is necessary.
 
Our SERVPRO team performs cleanup procedures that attend to the needs of the floors of your Camarillo home after the water event. Irrespective of the type of floor or floors you have in your property, our technicians have the skills to perform the necessary water damage cleanup procedures. We understand that the kind of floor you have can directly affect the quantity of water that remains on the surfaces. We are going to cover some of the processes we employ when remediating different flooring materials after a water loss.
 
A water dousing can make the charm and uniqueness of any hardwood flooring disappear. It is essential to understand that the effects of water on the floor may fail to be immediately noticed when there is a pool of water in your home. For instance, floors made of maple or oak may take up to 5 - 6 days to react with the moisture. So, never make a mistake of assuming all is well when you fail to notice any side effects. Our team has the right tools to extract the water and salvage your hardwood flooring. If there is too much saturation and the dehumidifiers and air movers cannot efficiently dry the area, we can remove the flooring to speed up the drying process.
 
Though engineered flooring is pretty durable and easy to maintain, you still need professional help when you experience a water event, especially after getting exposed to large quantities of water. The water can cause the floor to warp and eventually get damaged. Some floors may even crown, cup, split, buckle or crack. SERVPRO can use drying mats and injectidry methods to expedite the drying time in an attempt to salvage the boards. Typically, laminated floor planks do not stand up well to saturation since the core is a compressed wood product, and not made from solid woods. We spray the areas with disinfectants to prevent the possibility of mold growth.

The Real Truth About Carpets and Camarillo Water Damage

11/4/2018 (Permalink)

Water damage to your carpet or other flooring can be quite extensive. Contact SERVPRO to assess, dry out and remediate any damage.

What Happens to Water-Damaged Carpeting in Camarillo?

One of the most vulnerable materials in the average home in Camarillo to water damage is carpeting. Most types of carpets cannot resist significant volumes of water and may become damaged beyond repair even by relatively mild incidents. Through our fast response times and well-rounded selection of treatments, SERVPRO can restore rather than replace as much carpet as possible, but often still has to replace sections of carpeting, if not the entire floor space. Here are some of the effects of water damage you may see to carpeted floors in your home.

Warping and Bending
One of the most visible signs of water damage to a Camarillo home may be the warping and bending of carpeted floors. After water naturally evaporates from some types of carpet, they can shrink and bend, often pulling away from walls and seams to create ugly gaps on the floor. Depending on the material used, we may be able to stop this from happening, but any section of carpet that has already warped most often has to be replaced.

Discoloration
Water damage can cause carpeting to lose its color, either through a washing away of pigments or color bleed between one material and another. If the carpet has any separate rugs on top of it, be sure to remove them and place them somewhere dry and where you can contain any dyed water that may leak out. Otherwise, you may need to either replace the section of discolored carpet or move on with a visible stain.

Ruined Tack Strips
In some cases, as carpeting warps and shrinks, it may pull hard enough against tack strips to permanently damage them. Also, if the spread of water was extensive enough, it may have soaked into them and altered their shape. Laying down new tack strips is not an expensive process, but it is a complication that can lengthen the restoration process.

SERVPRO of Camarillo prioritizes restoration over replacement and can help to save as much of your carpeting as possible after water damage. Call us at (805) 484-5009.

Survey Finds Close to 80% of Homeowners Overlook Costly Water Leak Exposure When Heading Out on Vacation

10/25/2017 (Permalink)

"WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J.– August 21, 2017 – A new survey from Chubb finds that while on vacation, just 19% of homeowners view internal water leak damage as the most concerning home threat, despite the fact that water leaks are a more frequent risk than fire and theft.

“The time between when a leak occurs and when it is discovered is the single greatest factor in determining the amount of damage,” said Fran O’Brien, Division President of Chubb North America Personal Risk Services. “As a result, leaks that occur while you’re away result in greater amounts of damage, in terms of both cost and severity.”

Instances of water damage have been rising dramatically. In the past 10 years, the frequency of sudden pipe bursts has nearly doubled. In 2015, water damage accounted for nearly half of all property damage, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Chubb’s new Homeowners’ Water Risk Survey measures homeowners’ attitudes toward home protection, the risks they’re most concerned about and what they are overlooking. The online survey of 1,200 homeowners finds that just 8% of homeowners correctly identify August as the month with the most water leak events, and when subsequently heading out on a late-summer vacation, just 22% shut off the water main (despite 88% knowing where it is located within their home)."

How to Detect and Fix Leaking Pipes Under a Slab Foundation

9/13/2017 (Permalink)

When you have pipes that run under concrete slab foundation, you need to know how to identify leaking pipes and potential hot spots in a timely fashion. Identifying slab leaks quickly allows them to be repaired before any lasting damage can be done to the structure.

Detecting Water Leaks Under Slabs Foundation

There are quite a few ways to detect leaking pipes that occur under slab foundation. The most common include:

• Higher than normal water bills
• High meter readings
• Hot spots in the concrete (normally from hot water leaks)
• Hearing water flowing but the faucets are turned off
• Moisture and areas of mildew under carpet and linoleum
• Cracks that start small and begin to rapidly spread outward

If you know your home, you’ll be able to detect subtle differences in the concrete slabs rather easily. Don’t discount the changes that you see. Instead, call a professional and have the area carefully examined.

Planning For And Preventing Water Intrusion In Buildings

6/23/2017 (Permalink)

Excess moisture in the built environment not only causes physical damage deleterious to buildings, it can also lead to adverse health effects and compromised indoor air quality (IAQ). These conditions will likely lead to fungal growth if not dealt with immediately and properly. Whether the cause of water intrusion is a catastrophic event, such as a building flood, or an ongoing maintenance or construction issue, a proper and timely response can save time and money.

Moisture sources that can impact buildings can be divided into two broad categories, internal and external. Internal sources of moisture include building-related systems such as plumbing and mechanical systems. External sources of moisture intrusion typically involve water or moisture entering the built environment through the building envelope such as penetrations through the roof, expansion joints, sub-slab, windows, doors, etc. Some sources of water intrusion may be attributed to construction or material defects and could have legal implications.
