This is another one of our employees. He works in Sales and Marketing.

Everyone’s got a passion he or she lives for. Maybe yours is selling artisanal cheeses, or perhaps artisanal tea. Maybe it is artisanal craft brews, or artisanal bricks, or even artisanal spelunking head lamps, (etc.)

Ours is protecting your business from whatever cold, unfeeling force of nature wishes to damage it. That means restoring, cleaning, or even reconstructing your business after a flood, after a fire, or even after a COVID exposure.

It means cleaning up and remediating mold damage, and restoring your floors, ceilings, and walls, and getting all the yucky, dangerous spores out of your formerly-pristine air ducts by cleaning it to our industry's most professional standards. If that sounds like the kind of business you’re looking for, get in touch! We’re just a phone call away:(704) 925-1019, and we can be onsite in less than four hours, which gives you plenty of time to get some cookies or lemonade ready for when we get there (hint-hint!), and we’re open 24/7!

Crime Scene Disaster in East Spencer

I never thought much about crime scenes unless they were part of a movie or television show I was watching. Then my vacation rental unit was burglarized, and the Town of Spencer Police Department was called in to investigate the crime. After the investigation team completed processing the crime scene and the detectives left, I was left with a vacation unit that had crime scene residue on most of the surfaces, and I would not be able to rent the unit again until it was thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

SERVPRO® of North Rowan County/Salisbury has been serving the Spencer business community for years and has extensive experience cleaning crime and accident scenes and removing crime scene residue. They sent out a team with specialized training and protective equipment, and they safely cleaned the unit and made it rentable again.

Control Moisture to Help Stop Mold Growth in North Rowan County / Salisbury

1/18/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury is Here To Help with your mold damage.

Condensation and Mold inNorth Rowan County / Salisbury.

There are many different kinds of mold. EVERY SINGLE ONE needs moisture to grow.

Mold doesn’t need a storm or flood. Even a tiny bit of dampness is enough for mold.

Have you seen condensed water on the inside of a window? Have you noticed water droplets near the shower?  That water is more than enough for mold to start growing.

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury wants you to know: if you control moisture, you control mold.

Control Moisture:

• Clean spills or leaks quickly. Mold can start growing within 24 hours
• Make sure roof gutters are in good shape
• Don’t let water collect around the house foundation
• Don’t let water collect in the air-conditioner drip pans
• Keep drains clear
• Indoor humidity should be under 40%
• Wipe condensation from windows, pipes, or walls

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury offers these suggestions:

• Use exhaust fans
• Use air conditioners and/or dehumidifiers. Low humidity reduces condensation
• Use the bathroom fan when you shower
• Appliances should vent to the outside. Even stoves, washers and dryers produce water vapor

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury has ideas on reducing condensation:

• Increase air movement
• Open doors & windows
• Use fans
• Insulate cold surfaces like water pipes
• Keep  the temperature comfortable

Preventing Mold Growth in North Rowan County / Salisbury

1/13/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of North Rowan County/Salisbury has the skills and experience to remediate your mold damage.

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury is licensed in mold remediation. We hope you never have a mold problem.

Mold starts growing within 24 hours of exposure to moisture.

To prevent mold from getting a start, SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury suggests:

• Elevate equipment above basement floor
• Repair leaky pipes
• Remove any damp areas near sinks and tubs
• Maintain humidity below 40%
• Use water-resistant materials when you build or rebuild. Materials include:
• galvanized or stainless-steel hardware
• waterproof wallboard
• tile
• sealed stone
• sealed concrete
• water-resistant glues
• synthetic fibers
• Use gutters to divert rain water
• Landscape, so water moves away from the house
• Cover dirt in crawl spaces. Moisture can seep up through dirt
• Ventilate as much as possible

Important:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a “large amount” of mold as 10 square feet or more. The EPA rules that only licensed professionals can remediate large areas.

You cannot prevent storms or floods. However, if a storm or flood affects you, SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury can help you clean up the damage.
