Mold damage in Bakersfield, CA

Mold damage in town.

Mold can cause significant property damage, and can produce allergens and irritants that can cause health effects.

SERVPRO® understands mold and mold growth, and has the training and equipment to remediate the mold in your home or business.

Understanding Mold:

Microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, so removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and they may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.
Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise the mold may return.
Let your nose lead the way. Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
Even higher than normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

In order to be ready for any storm, we should all be as prepared as we can by beginning to set up an emergency plan for your business or home. You’ll first want to evaluate which scenarios are most likely to occur—and those that are a long shot but could still happen. After all, it’s better to prepare for all the worst-case scenarios and not be caught off guard. 

There are plenty of online resources to help guide you through this process, including Ready.gov, the American Red Cross, FEMA and the CDC.

A business impact analysis (BIA) can be performed to help predict the potential effect a disaster may have on your business. This should include lost or delayed sales and income, increased expenses from repairs, and delayed implementation of business plans. Don’t forget to make sure a crisis communications plan is in place, too. Come visit us on www.SERVPROnwbkfd.com

While creating an emergency plan does not prevent your home, your business or your employees from experiencing a disaster, it can still give your business a leg up on the safety side. Your employees will know what to do and how to respond if a disaster or emergency situation should occur either a storm damage or unexpected water damage. 

You should make sure that safety training and familiarization of emergency preparedness plans are included in the company on boarding process, team-building activities and continuing education opportunities. By helping employees familiarize themselves with proper safety protocol and emergency procedures, you’re not only giving them the tools to protect themselves, but you are also setting them up to help protect guests/visitors and the business itself.

Selling your home?

2/3/2017 (Permalink)

When you decide to move and sell your home you need to know what a buyer wants. First off, ask yourself what you would want when you go to buy? Keep that in mind. Try to fix and minimize any wear that is clearly visible. This will make the buyer feel as if they are buying something "new." Be sure to keep your home maintained and cared for. No one wants to buy a home that the previous owners didn't take care of. One of the most difficult things we all have to take care of is making sure the house is presentable and doesn't appear to be cluttered. Of course, keep the home clean, smelling fresh and most importantly present it as a place that potential buyers would be proud to call home.

Holiday Safety Tips

12/21/2016 (Permalink)

We all know how distracting things can get around the holidays. Especially with family and friends over. However there are some tips to keep in mind that will help keep the holidays safe for everyone. Listed below are some great kitchen tips to remember as you prepare this year. 

-Stay in the kitchen when you are frying,boiling and grilling food. Remember to turn the stove off, even if you leave the room for just a short time.

-Never use a wet oven mitt, this prevents scald danger that can occur if the moisture from the mitt is heated.

-Explain to children to stay at least 3 feet away from the stove and areas where food and drinks are being prepared. 

-Keep anything that can catch fire away from stove tops. Some examples are: potholders, curtains, and towels.

-Always keep a lid and mitt nearby while cooking. Small grease fires can start and the quickest way to put them out is by covering the pan up and turner the burner off.

-Make sure there is a working smoke alarm in the kitchen.

Have a safe holiday from SERVPRO of NW Bakersfield!
