Bella Vista houses flooded after a spring rain storm

To understand the scope of damage a flood causes, you have to experience it face-to-face.  Most of us can visualize wet carpet and water damaged walls.  The flood water also carries dirt, debris, trash, and even sewer/septic waste into your home.  These flood waters damage your home, as well as household furnishings and keepsakes.

Bella Vista residents who experience flood damage also need to be aware of mold growth.  While building materials and household items have been dried and cleaned, the humidity levels can continue to be high.  This additional moisture and heat is an excellent breeding environment for mold.  When SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County work on a home that has had flood damage, we address not only the standing water but every piece of flood damage.

Eliminating the visible damage is the first step.  SERVPRO begins by removing the excess flood water from the structure.  Removing carpet, padding, and other flooring materials damaged by the water is next.  Destroyed building materials, such as moldings and sheetrock, are also removed.  Household items that are salvageable are cleaned.  Items that are unsalvageable are inventoried and properly disposed.  Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to remove the excess moisture from building materials and take the added moisture out of the air.

After the visible damage has been eliminated, biological and chemical elements must be addressed.  Antimicrobial products are applied to prevent bacteria growth.  Air scrubbers are used to filter mold spores and other microscopic particles out of the air in your home.  SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County uses air scrubbers and vacuums with HEPA-grade filters to collect the mold spores and microscopic particles.  Ensuring your home is clean.

SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County should be your first choice for any residential or commercial water restoration.  Our team of professionals is trained to assess the damage, identify potential threats, respond quickly to extract the water and restore your property to preloss condition.  SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County is available 24/7 by calling 479-419-5544.

SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County is a trusted leader in the restoration industry, providing emergency water removal for residential and commercial properties.  Regardless of the source, water removal from your Bentonville home needs to be handled quickly and professionally.

SERVPRO extracts standing water at the very beginning.  Our team uses truck mounted and portable extractors to pull the water off the floors and out of carpet.  Water levels deeper than two inches in depth, we can use pumps to speed up the extraction process. 

Once the standing water is removed from the surface, our technicians check the remaining floors, walls, ceilings and crawlspaces. If significant amounts of water are found, we extract that water as well. During this process, other members of the response team move furniture and other property that might be damaged.

The last step in the drying process is removing the excess water from the surrounding air and property. Technicians use a combination of dehumidifiers and air movers to accomplish this. Commercial grade dehumidifiers can remove over 20 gallons of water from the air each day. The air movers force air over building materials, like drywall, pulling moisture into the air for the dehumidifiers to capture.

How do we know when your home is dry?  Our team uses moisture meters to measure the air and materials in your home. If the moisture levels remain high, we adjust the equipment and modify the processes until we reach acceptable levels.

SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County should be your first choice for any residential or commercial water restoration.  Our team of professionals is trained to assess the damage, identify potential threats, respond quickly to extract the water and restore your property to preloss condition.  SERVPRO of Northwest Benton County is available 24/7 by calling 479-419-5544.

Do You Need a Separate Mold Testing Company

If you believe you have a mold problem, it is common practice to have a mold test and then hire a company to perform mold remediation.  A mold remediation company, like SERVPRO of Fayetteville, Springdale South, North Washington County, performs the process of removing mold and preventing it from returning.  The question is often asked, should I hire different companies to test for mold and remove the mold in my Farmington home. 

Let us begin by defining a few things.  What is mold testing?  Mold testing is having a professional examine surfaces and air in your home for fungus.  This is typically performed by taking swap or tape samples from surfaces.  Air samples are collected by using an air pump that traps aerosolized spores in canisters.  The samples are sent to a laboratory to determine the type and quantity of fungus.  The mold inspection professional interprets the labs findings and creates a plan to remove the fungus. 

What is a mold remediation company?  A reputable remediation company has IICRC trained staff to safely contain, remove, and eliminate the source of the mold.  Remediating mold can be an intricate process meant to remove existing mold and ensure it does not return.  SERVPRO of Fayetteville, Springdale South, North Washington County has staff certified in IICRC’s Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT) courses. 

If you decide to test for mold, avoid using the same company to remediate your mold problem.  Often times a mold testing company that knows you will hire them to handle the mold remediation is incentivized to report mold in your home-even if they only exaggerate the findings.  Another reason is mold remediation companies have IICRC training to ensure they can properly remediate the mold.

SERVPRO of Fayetteville, Springdale, and South Washington County should be your first choice for any residential or commercial mold remediation.  Our team of professionals is trained to assess the damage, identify potential threats, respond quickly to restore your property to preloss condition.  SERVPRO of Fayetteville, Springdale, and South Washington County is available 24/7 by calling 479-419-5544
