Dealing with Flood Damage on Setauket Home Contents

Flood damage can cause many problems in your home. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 for certified technicians who can get the job done.

SERVPRO® Mitigates Setauket Flood Damage on Possessions

Setauket, a historic hamlet in Brookhaven, was founded in 1655. Historical landmarks in the area are the Setauket Presbyterian Church and Caroline Church, dating back to the 18th century. Another notable establishment in Setauket is the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, founded in 1892. Prominent individuals from the region include William de Leftwich Dodge, a muralist, and Joseph Reboli, a painter. Popular events like the Memorial Day Parade and the Setauket Harbor Day bring Setauket residents together.

When there is a storm, every homeowner is at risk of flooding. Therefore, understanding how flood damage can impact Setauket properties and the steps to take can help one be better prepared. Floodwaters can cause various damages to a property, from mold proliferation to appliance damage. Personal belongings, including documents and photographs, can be damaged by moisture, especially if the intervention is slow, and even after drying out, they might have significant damage. You need professionals like SERVPRO to tend to such situations on time. Prompt response is vital to saving one's belongings after water damage. 

Flood damage Impact to your home

• Contamination
• Structural damage
• Discoloration and staining

If water damage is not addressed quickly, structural damage can occur to furniture, floorboards, and cabinetry. Wooden items tend to swell, warp, or rot, while metal items can rust. Another aspect to consider is the unpleasant odors left behind due to contaminants, mold, and mildew. This requires professional cleaning. 

Carpets and Rugs Cleaning After a Flood

Typically, floodwaters severely ruin carpets and rugs and should be disposed of. However, some rugs may only have been impacted by the water coming from the roof. SERVPRO crews can help with the water extraction, cleaning, and drying in this case. We consider the extent of saturation, exposure duration, and the carpet's material and construction before cleaning. High-quality, durable carpets and rugs, like those made of synthetic fibers, are more likely to be salvaged through professional cleaning.

Carpet cleaning techniques may include

• Hot water extraction
• Steam cleaning
• Dry cleaning

SERVPRO of Port Jefferson ensures that household items are restored, helping you recover from the devastation of flood damage. Call us at (631) 476-5300. Faster to any size disaster™.

Ensuring a House Is Clean After Merrimack Flood Damage Incidents

4/11/2024 (Permalink)

When a storm damages your Merrimack home, call SERVPRO. We are Here to Help® 24/7.

Removing Visible and Invisible Soils as Part of Flood Restoration

Merrimack, NH, covers 33.4 square miles, with a robust local economy supporting its 26,632 residents. Among the contributors are major corporations like Fidelity Investments, which provides financial services, and BAE Systems, an aerospace company. The town has several highly rated schools like Merrimack High School, Professional Martial Arts Academy Merrimack, and Mastricola Elementary School. The Merrimack Historical Society and B&M Railroad Depot are notable local landmarks. Local annual events, such as the Merrimack Winter Carnival, Merrimack Holiday Parade, and Tree Lighting, allow one to meet and interact with other residents.

One thing you might face after flood damage affects your Merrimack property is widespread soiling. The flood restoration plan you develop for your property must address visible and invisible soils to ensure the house looks clean, feels clean, and is in a sanitary state once restoration is done. SERVPRO® provides qualified technicians, equipment, and products to help address the different forms of soiling. 

Soils left by a flooding incident

• Silt and mud
• Trash, waste, and debris
• Chemicals, oil, and petroleum products
• Biohazards

The stagnant water in your house and visible soils such as silt and mud may be your biggest concern because they are unsightly and interfere with your use of the property. However, you should also pay close attention to invisible soiling from chemicals and biohazards, which can affect the well-being of the occupants. SERVPRO uses a simultaneous approach that tackles both aspects of soiling. For instance, we spray broad-spectrum disinfectants around the areas of the property where the floodwaters reach to neutralize harmful microbes before starting cleanup. 

Removing the visible soils takes different procedures, including extraction with trash pumps, agitation, and dislodging with chemical agents. SERVPRO professionals have access to a wide array of trash pumps, including semi-trash, trash, full trash, and slurry, which remove water mixed with debris. Using detergents and agitating surfaces with specialized tools such as rotating brushes enhances cleaning thoroughness.

Standing water is difficult to remove from your home alone. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 for certified technicians and equipment.

Water Damage Repair in Setauket Requires Skill

Water intrusion in homes is unwelcome and can cause a lasting impact. You must take appropriate steps to restore your residence to normal. 

After experiencing water damage in your Setauket home, our SERVPRO® technicians can remove water to prevent further damage. Water restoration can include:

• Preserving the property’s structural integrity.
• Repairing salvageable contents.
• Containing other areas of your home where the damage may spread.

If the water is more than two inches deep, we can use electrical submersible pumps to remove it. Performing water removal quickly helps prevent further destruction. Stagnant water can become more destructive as it remains on your property. Water removal also enables our SERVPRO team to conduct more detailed inspections. 

In some water damage cases, we can adequately dry a property by setting up air movers and dehumidifiers. In other cases, cutting out drywall, removing carpet padding and carpeting, and applying antimicrobials is necessary to prevent subsequent mold infestation. 

As we dry your property, we can use several tools to ensure accurate monitoring of moisture levels. They include:

• Infrared cameras 
• Hygrometers. 
• Moisture meters
• Moisture sensors

Hygrometers detect moisture saturation levels. With infrared cameras, our SERVPRO technicians can determine if there is inviable moisture build-up under floorboards or behind walls. We monitor changing moisture levels continually throughout the drying process. 

The restoration process may also include repairs to return your home’s soft and hard goods to a preloss state. It may also be necessary to perform reconstruction based on the destruction. Fixes may include floor repair, drywall replacement, repainting, and carpet installation. These repairs can ensure your building’s usability and integrity. Water damage can also leave bad smells behind. Therefore, deodorization may be necessary. We can use air scrubbers to eradicate malodors. Our SERVPRO technicians can take all the steps required to repair your property.

SERVPRO of Port Jefferson Offers Support Rebuilding a 9/11 Hero's Home in Islip

2/13/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is dedicated to assisting our friends and neighbors on Long Island. Please donate to the Bobby McMahon gofundme campaign.

SERVPRO® Stands with Our First Responders

In the face of tragedy, communities often rally together to support those who have spent their lives in service to others. The latest example of this unfolds in Islip, New York, for Bobby McMahon, a 9/11 first responder and retired Member of the Department of Correction.

The start of 2024 brought an unforeseen disaster for Bobby—a fire sparked by a faulty boiler ravaged his home, rendering it uninhabitable. This misfortune was compounded by the discovery that his homeowner's insurance had lapsed, an oversight during a particularly challenging time following the loss of his wife to ovarian cancer in 2021.

However, SERVPRO of Port Jefferson offers hope amidst the ashes. Led by owner Risa Kluger, she has generously provided all necessary labor, supplies, and equipment to carry out the basement's clean-out, demolition, and debris removal—a significant stride toward recovery. The spirit of community support is further bolstered by the kindness of John Stein from Restoration Dry Cleaners and Sean Winters from Winter Brothers Carting, who have also donated their services.

From the franchise, "When Mr. McMahon's circumstances were brought to our attention, we realized what a horrible situation he was in. Kevin Citrangola, a Project Manager here, spoke with our owner, Risa Kluger, who promptly approved for him to come up with a plan to give back to and help out Mr. McMahon because he's a police officer and a 9/11 First Responder who's given so much. SERVPRO nationally sponsors the First Responders Children's Foundation and the First Responders Football Bowl, so this is one way SERVPRO of Port Jefferson is doing our share on Long Island."

This story is a testament to communities' gratitude for their first responders. Mr. McMahon, who spent years serving and protecting others, is now receiving a community's embrace. The collaborative efforts of SERVPRO, its trade partners, and numerous individual contributors to McMahon's GoFundMe—nearing $35,000—reflect powerful solidarity.

Mr. McMahon's resilience is remarkable; despite the adversities, he remains thankful that his family, including the family pets, were unharmed in the fire. With the clean-up underway, fellow first responders have pledged to take up hammers and nails to help rebuild the McMahon home—a place of cherished memories and a sanctuary for his children and grandchild.

The GoFundMe, organized by Richard Palmer, Jr., a retired Warden with the NYC Department of Correction and fellow 9/11 Responder, is not just a fundraiser but a call for aiding a fellow brother. Bobby McMahon's story is one of sacrifice, loss, and the unwavering strength of a community that refuses to let one of its heroes stand alone in the face of hardship.

To contribute to Bobby McMahon's home restoration, visit the GoFundMe page here. No matter the size, every donation is a brick in the foundation of a renewed home and hope.

Quality Fire Damage Restoration in Setauket

2/13/2024 (Permalink)

Day or Night--SERVPRO® is ready to help our Setauket neighbors with fire and smoke damage cleanup and restoration. Here To Help®

Fire Damage Restoration at Your Doorstep

 The quality of restoration depends on the quality of the equipment. This is especially true when dealing with the smoky odors, particulates and chemical staining that are common in the aftermath of a property fire.

Local organizations, a top-rated one being SERVPRO®, offering fire damage restoration in Setauket must use modern equipment to ensure a prompt and high-quality service. Smoke damage, odor, and poor air quality are common symptoms that need to be addressed by services in the aftermath of a kitchen or electrical fire. SERVPRO addresses these symptoms using air-scrubbing equipment, which helps to remove odors as well as particulates from indoor spaces.

 Air scrubber features

• High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters that remove up to 99.97% of contaminants from indoor air.
• Variable speed controls for air intake
• Stackable or daisy chain features for versatility

Air scrubbers come in mini sizes, which makes them suitable for use in smoke-damaged kitchen spaces and hallways. Large air intakes draw indoor air through the filter system, which removes contaminants and releases clean air through the exhaust hoses, which often carry the air outdoors.

The advantage of using air scrubbers over natural ventilation is the volume of air exchange. A mini air scrubber moves 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) compared with 100 CFM of a regular household fan and less still for natural ventilation from opening windows.

 In the aftermath of the fire, it is vital to remove odors and particulates as quickly as possible to restore indoor air quality to a hygienic standard. Contact SERVPRO of Port Jefferson for quality fire damage restoration at (631) 476-5300. “Like it never even happened.”
