Frozen pipes? SERVPRO of Manchester is READY TO HELP!

6/16/2022 (Permalink)

Frozen pipe covered in ice. SERVPRO of Manchester is Ready to help 7 Days a week 24 Hours a day.

You are not alone when it comes to the fight against freezing pipes and it is not always avoidable. As water begins to freeze it also expands and ultimately causes pipes to burst, leaving you with a flooded room. However, there may be some steps you can take in order to try to prevent this from happening to you!

It is important to understand that pipes freeze in the areas of your house that are most vulnerable to the cold where there is little to no insulation, such as the basement, attic and or garage (that's not to say it can't happen anywhere). 

Here is a list of tips in trying to avoid pipes from freezing:

  • keep all areas of the house well heated as this is the biggest thing you can do to avoid pipes from bursting
  • if heating is not an option in places such as your garage, basement, attic, etc. then it is highly recommended to add insulation to these areas to keep the room temperature higher
  • check where water supply lines are in your house such as in the kitchen under the skin and in the bathrooms and make sure these areas are well insulated and kept above freezing temperatures
  • there are certain products you can have installed such as pipe sleeves or heat tape to help in trying to prevent from pipes freezing
  • if money is tight and you can't afford to insulate, newspaper can act as a decent insulator to help keep temperatures up in areas where pipes are exposed to the cold for long periods of time
  • consider relocating exposed pipes to more insulated areas
  • keep your garage doors shut in order to ensure it stays as warm as possible
  • in freezing weather you can let the water drip very slightly from the faucet, which can help prevent pipes from freezing temperature should never be left below 55 degrees Fahrenheit (although higher the better)

Dreadful Mold

6/14/2022 (Permalink)

Mold growing in the corner on a blue wall Mold Can spread through a home or business in as little as 48 hours.

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 allergens and irritants.
  • 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 infestation.

Cleaner Living

5/18/2022 (Permalink)

After of the filter to the machine that cleans air ducts This is an after photo of a filter when duct cleaning was completed.

Warmer months are finally here and many of us can’t wait to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.  Warmer months also mean it’s time to turn off the heat and turn on the cool air. Many people now a days have central AC in their homes and the cool air runs through the duct work and disperses through the house from the vents.

-When was the last time you had a duct cleaning done?  Indoor air quality is important and air ducts help regulate and move air throughout the home into each room.  These ducts are known to become dirty over time and procrastinating on cleaning them only makes matters worse. Clean air ducts lead to a cleaner living environment. Dirty ducts contain tiny dust particles and dirt that travel through the air and will eventually land of your surfaces of your home.  Think about it, are you okay with these contaminants landing on your kitchen table or even your bed? I didn’t think so.

These particles are microscopic and are blind to the naked eye.  This means you should clean your air ducts for the sake of a cleaner healthier living. Now what do I mean about healthier?

Specks of dust and dirt fill the air and make it more difficult to breathe. Dirty air leads to coughing and people with asthma or allergies are affected by unclean air. Okay, so you don’t have asthma but what about a guest you might have over don't you want to provide them with a comfortable environment?

Removing Odors – Duct cleanings also remove odors from your home.  We all have had to deal with that lingering odor that just doesn’t seem to disappear. Mildew is also found in your duct system. and has a very unpleasant smell to it. Along with smell it can restrict airflow throughout your home. Now the purpose of a duct system is to increase ventilation in your home right? Well if you have dirty ducts things like dirt and that is  preventing your ducts from doing their job.

Improving efficiency – When your air ducts are clean your AC/Furnace will work more efficiently.  When your ducts are clean the air can travel freely and the unit does not have to work as hard to cool or heat your home. This will also help with saving you money on utility bills.

BOTTOM LINE is dirty air ducts are bad for many reasons and leaving them unchecked will multiply those reasons and you will end up with problems in the future. 

SERVPRO of Manchester Professionals routinely inspect the heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit (HVAC).  Keeping them clean can extend the life of the equipment. This can in turn save you money and give you cleaner air to breathe.

However, duct cleaning is not always necessary. We will make recommendations about the best way to address any indoor air quality concerns. This can save you money and provide peace of mind on the health of your system.

The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:

  • Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
  • May help to eliminate offensive odors.
  • Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.

For more information on HVAC and air duct cleaning, call us today, 603-669-7733

Microbes always exist within our indoor environments. As part of the ecological system, microbes are necessary for life and cannot be completely eliminated from indoor environments by the application of chemical agents. Restoration vendors should not assume they are eliminating microbes from a structure by applying biocide or antimicrobial products.

Human health may be threatened when microbes amplify and grow in indoor environments. When water is present in an environment due to a water damage incident, microbes will grow given enough time and the proper conditions. If a Category 1 sanitary water situation is unmitigated for two to three days, microbes will likely amplify, increasing contamination of the structure and turning the Category 1 situation into a Category 2 or 3 situation. Building owners, occupants, and insurers should act quickly to prevent microbial contamination from becoming worse with passing time.

The longer water dwells in a structure, being absorbed by materials, the more damage it causes. Fast WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION MANUAL 7–4 response to water damages by SERVPRO of Manchester-East could save insurance companies and customers thousands of dollars on a claim, since timely mitigation reduces replacement costs. A quick response to a water damage is the most important course of action.

Containment set up on mold removal project

Containment set up at the wide open doorway. This moldy living room was caused by previously water damage in the house.

Containment set up is very important on mold removal projects. A lot of times we don't see visible mold but it doesn't mean mold does not exist in the property. The best way to prevent cross-contamination is to set up the containment barrier to the unaffected area, so the mold spores or airbornes won't travel to the unaffected areas.

Steps in Controlling Microbial Growth

5/9/2019 (Permalink)

Microbial Growth based on moisture and temperature

The application of chemical agents should not be the restoration vendor’s primary method of controlling microbial growth. Since the presence of water promotes and sustains microbial growth, the primary steps in mitigation or remediation are (1) removing moisture by drying the environment and reducing humidity levels and (2) removing contaminated materials. Water damage restoration professionals should focus on fast drying of the structure (to reduce moisture levels) and not consider the application of chemical agents by themselves to be effective remediation of microbial contamination.

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) points out that restorers are not effective if their only step is applying chemical agents (biocides) and they do not perform the more important steps of rapid drying and removal of contaminated materials:

“Effective remediation of water damaged or microbially contaminated buildings involves (a) the use of appropriate techniques to promote rapid drying, and (b) complete removal of contaminated materials rather than the application of biocides without these steps” (ACGIH Bioaerosals: Assessment and Control – publication #3180).

The longer water dwells in a structure, being absorbed by materials, the more damage it causes.
