Recently a customer with rental property was checking his property after the tenants had moved. In his inspection he discovered that the carpets in the master bedroom had been taken care of very poorly. The property owner shared his dismay with his real estate agent and she came and inspected the carpets as well. " you will have to change the flooring because these carpets can not be cleaned" This particular real estate agent had much experience in this area and so the home owner begin to make plans to replace the carpet. As a last ditch effort the home owner called a friend who was with SERVPRO and asked if there were any possibilities available. SERVPRO responded and cleaned the carpet. The home owner was ecstatic! The carpets which were originally almost white were in better shape after SERVPRO cleaned them than they were before the renters moved in. SERVPRO has experience and training that allows them to clean and restore what many would say can not be helped. Before you accept that your project is not doable... do yourself a solid favor and call SERVPRO of Forest/Magee @ 662-779-1070

Your anticipated replacement could become restored... Better than before!

Mold in your home or business? SERVPRO of Forest and Magee can help!

9/22/2021 (Permalink)

Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. 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 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. These colonies may produce health effects.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• 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.

If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold issues.

SERVPRO has many methods of Deodorization.

3/11/2019 (Permalink)

3/11/2019

SERVPRO of Forest and Magee has many methods to deodorize a nuisance odor in your home or business.  We have several specialized deodorizers which are applied by ULV and Thermal Foggers.  We also have Ozone Generators for those hard to eliminate odors.  Hydroxyl Generators are another tool we have for eliminating unpleasant odors.  We can help make that problem odor "Like it never even happened."

Thermal fogging uses a special solvent or water based deodorizer that is heated and applied as a dry fog.  This allows the deodorizer to get into all areas of the structure.

Ozone is used to oxidize organic odors such as smoke, pet odors, mildew, organic pollutants and more without the use of chemicals.  This is done by the ozone machine using an electrical current to split oxygen molecules it the air (O2)resulting in a free oxygen molecule which reattached to the oxygen in the air and resulting (O3) ozone.  Ozone can only be used when humans, plants, and animals are not in the area.  The area needs to be dry when using ozone because it can cause bleaching if the area is wet.

Hydroxyl generators are used in a method similar to ozone, but can be ran in occupied areas.  If ozone can be used for one day, hydroxyl generators will typically take three to five days.  The results are similar to ozone but are safer because people do not have to be removed from the home or business.

If your experiencing odors in your home or business, give SERVPRO of Forest and Magee the opportunity to  make that odor "Like it never even happened."
