BEST PRACTICES FOR WATER DAMAGE CLEANUP
Unwanted water in your home comes from two sources – the water system inside your home, or sources of nature, such as rain or a local stream. Before you grab the guest hand towels from the downstairs bathroom, take a minute to understand what type of problem you have to clean up. Either the source can be ‘pretty’ clean, or REALLY dirty and require professional remediation. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has set a standard to classify water damage situations in order to follow industry practices for safe, effective cleanup. For example, in a category 1 situation, the source is usually a toilet tank, a drinking fountain or a water faucet. While always sanitary and clean, if it isn’t cleaned up quickly it can become contaminated and lead to a Category 2 water loss. Category 2 water (or grey water) loss involves water that has biological, chemical or physical contaminants that would cause illness if ingested. Examples are washing machine overflow, dishwasher overflow, sump pump failures, flush from sink drains and toilet overflow with urine only. Category 3 is the worst classification and is extremely unsanitary and hazardous to your health if ingested. Once referred to as ‘black water’, it may contain heavy metals, organic matters, silt, pesticides or toxic organic substances. Additionally, flood waters can be contaminated with soil bacteria, decaying insects, animal droppings, oils and fluids from roadways, and fertilizers to pesticides from fields or gardens. General Safety Tips Use caution when entering buildings. Make sure electrical power has been turned off and the structure is sound before entering and inspecting a flooded building. Small animals or reptiles may also seek shelter inside a structure, so be cautious when repositioning contents or removing materials. Protect yourself with an organic vapor respirator, rubber gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing. Ventilate affected areas by opening windows or using fans. Don’t keep germy items; know what items to throw away. Have a professional inspect and advise you salvaging or disposing of drywall, carpet and pad, mattresses, pillows, box springs, and particle board. Clean aggressively in hidden areas like wall cavities. Floors, exposed studs, and joists should be cleaned with detergent solutions. After thoroughly cleaning and flushing salvageable materials, apply a disinfectant solution liberally. Be sure that the entire area is completely dry to avoid a future mold problem. When You Have A Water Emergency: Turn off the water source, or contact a certified professional to do it for you. Don’t Panic! Contact CPR for immediate assistance. Remember to put your safety first. Do not unplug any electrical devices, or remove any contents without shutting off the breaker or cutting-off electricity. If it is safe to do so, remove furniture and contents from wet areas. If you have questions about personal property that could be saved, CPR can help. Many items that look destroyed might actually be salvageable. Don’t throw out anything before you’re sure. Advice From The Experts Dry out before you rebuild. To prevent dry rot and future structural damage, don’t cover up wood materials until its moisture content falls below 16 percent. Moisture meters are available for home but hire a water restoration professional with professional equipment and expertise to confirm proper drying before reconstruction. Beware of scam artists targeting storm victims. When approached by any company for water restoration services, ask to see the technician’s certification, proper licensing and liability insurance. Wait for help- Don’t use your vacuum to remove water. Don’t use any electronics or appliances that are plugged into the walls. Don’t use your ceiling fans if the ceilings are wet. Don’t go to rooms with sagging ceilings.

Common Places Mold Is Found In Homes And Businesses
Homeowners and business owners often find themselves dealing with a mold problem. It is not an uncommon event, but it is a situation that needs immediate attention. Mold can spread quickly and the further that it spreads, the bigger the damage is going to be. If you are in the Berks County area, you can count on themold damageremediation professionals at Hitchcock Clean and Restore to help you safely remove mold from your property and restore the damage quickly, no matter where you find it. Here is a list of the most common places mold is found in homes and businesses – if you have found mold in your property, contact our professional mold remediation team right away! Common Places Mold Grows In Residential And Commercial Properties 1. Wet Basements– Wet basements are one of the most common places to find mold growing. The basement doesn’t even have to be very wet for mold to grow. Mold just needs moisture, humidity and a food source (drywall, carpet, wood, etc.) and it will thrive. 2. Underneath Sinks– Underneath your bathroom and kitchen sinks are another common place to find mold. Mold grows here because of the pipes that flow under the sink. Any leaks in this area could result in a mold problem. If you find mold in this area, be sure to call Hitchcock’smold removalexperts to schedule an evaluation. 3. Behind Refrigerators– If your icebox has sprung a leak for any reason, you can almost certainly bet that mold is going to be a problem. The heat that comes off of the fridge from the electricity mixed with a water leak is a great source for mold growth. Mold can infiltrate the walls, floorboards and floors in this instance. 4. Crawlspaces and Attics– Common places for mold to grow are spaces that are not being visited often. Crawlspaces and attics can contain enough moisture and warmth to become perfect grounds for mold growth. You should check crawlspaces and attics for moisture and the musty smell of mold – if you find either, you should have a professional check it out. 5. Inside Walls and Ceilings– Walls and ceilings hide a massive number of plumbing pipes. These pipes are relatively safe for water to flow through your home or business property, but if they get old, they could spring leaks and even burst. Slow leaks, because they can go unnoticed for some time, can become major causes of mold issues. If you notice discoloration, bubbling, or warping in your home/office, be sure to have a professional come and inspect. Hitchcock Clean and Restoreis an experienced and educated mold remediation and water damage restoration company. Because mold is often accompanied by a water issue, you can rely on Hitchcock to make sure all of the damage is taken care of. We can extract water, dry the affected areas, remove mold, restore the structure, and get your home or business back to a comfortable and satisfying environment that you can enjoy. ...read more
