Commitment to Community and Families in Twin Falls Are Why SERVPRO Stands Out in the Regional Disaster Recovery Field
Your Twin Falls company or residence is so much more than a building. When water, fire, storms, or mold attack the place you call home or the business you built, more than damaged structures or ruined fixtures are at stake. We understand that our customers need state of the art equipment and highly qualified technicians to put back the pieces. Restoring your sense of safety, comfort, and peace of mind are also essential, and our team goes that extra mile on every residential project we accept.
Water Damage Restoration
Responding to a water loss in Twin Falls requires a commitment to hard work on the part of the SERVPRO team. In addition to an exceptional work ethic, our managers and technicians also master the restoration industry’s best practices through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) courses. Failing to follow research-based protocols when responding to water damage can result in progressive deterioration of structural components and fixtures. Secondary damage such as mildew and mold growth are nearly inevitable if moisture levels remain elevated. Our thorough approach minimizes these issues.
Expect a swift response from our team after your call, as water damages quickly and relentlessly. Our crews arrive with fully-stocked service vehicles, ready to pump or extract the influx of water. Experienced project managers evaluate the condition of the water, assigning it a category from 1 through 3. Category 1, or freshwater, currently poses little risk of microbial growth if removed fast. Category 2 and especially 3 water contains contaminants, some of which can be health hazards. Sewage and flood water immediately assume a Category 3 label and must be contained and disposed of per local hazardous waste regulations.
SERVPRO crews aim to extract every drop of liquid water, as the more moisture that evacuates before drying, the more efficient our techniques can be. We use detection devices to locate trapped water and consider releasing quantities of fluids from behind structures using controlled demolition like flood cuts and punched or drilled holes. Structural drying then proceeds, air movers, and heaters, which are facilitating evaporation of water from porous structures. Dehumidifiers then absorb or condense the vapor for a final resolution.
Fire Damage Restoration
A fire in Twin Falls is not an easy proposition for a homeowner. Relief that escaping personal harm is replaced with a sense of loss and dread as you survey the mess and destruction. No one can handle fire residues and charring without the help of trained and experienced professionals. The debris is toxic, and the worry of weakened structures and permanent odors is realistic.
Contacting our full-service fire damage company in Twin Falls results in the rapid receipt of a multi-skilled and well-equipped response to a severe and complicated set of problems. Our team assesses the damage and digs right in, ready to stabilize, mitigates, remove, clean, and remediate the damage. Fire residues are highly toxic and difficult to remove safely and efficiently. Our technicians master research-based strategies from IICRC courses to cover every exigency.
First, the SERVPRO crews stabilize the structure, which includes removing water, a dangerous and destructive substance after it quells the flames. Project managers evaluate residues and match methods and products to clean up the soot and remove charring. As crew members attack the soot, they observe safety measures that keep them and the occupants free from further harm, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and air quality enhancers like air scrubbers.
Our production facility Contents Processing Technicians work on fire-damaged furnishings, household goods, and personal possessions. SERVPRO has access to resources that can restore items from papers and photos, to window treatments and clothing, to toys and other personal treasures, to furnishings, and more. We take pride not only in restoring your home after a fire but also in returning beloved objects and practical items to function and appearance.
Mold Remediation
Among the stresses inherent in owning a home, finding mold damage in your Twin Falls dwelling ranks high on the list. Not only is the smell of multiplying fungal organisms unpleasant, but it can also be embarrassing to open your doors to visitors when the odor is present. As the mold spores grow, more develop and become airborne, causing irritation and even allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
Although many DIY products for mold treatment in Twin Falls exist, the growth cycle of various household molds makes it very difficult to manage without professional help. One critical point to learn is that remediation, not the elimination of mold occurs. The remediation process is challenging but successful when completed by trained and certified technicians. This fact is why SERVPRO can be a helpful resource for individuals battling mold outbreaks.
Mold spores are everywhere and cause trouble only when they absorb water. If a leak, condensation, high humidity above 60 percent, or an incompletely remediated and dry water loss exists for more than 24 to 48 hours, spores can take that opportunity to absorb moisture to begin growing. Determining the source of and addressing moisture issues is vital in mold remediation.
We are in the water mitigation and remediation business, why SERVPRO took on mold issues and their solutions. Expect us to conduct a thorough evaluation to find and arrange for the elimination of moisture sources. We then follow the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocols for mold remediation:
- Containment
- Removal
- Cleanup of and lawful disposal of moldy debris
- Disinfection of affected surfaces with an EPA-registered antimicrobial
Storm Damage Restoration
Our ability to reduce the distress and worry caused by harm to your Twin Falls home after extreme weather is the reason we exist. It is impossible to prepare adequately for the destruction a storm can bring to residents of our region. Whether you suffer from the effects of high winds, snow, rain, flooding, or a combination of the above, we train our workforce and maintain our equipment to help year-round.
Severe storm damage in Twin Falls often requires securing exterior damage. Our employees begin tarping and boarding up immediately after we arrive, as our experienced project managers assess the other damage. We carry a comprehensive inventory of commercial-grade equipment in all service vehicles, so we avoid delays in needed responses. This preemptive approach is why SERVPRO crews can work quickly and effectively no matter the tasks and steps involved.
As the project plan develops, our crews move on to other phases. We mitigate and remediate storm-related water damage using pumps and extractors, including using containment techniques and lawful disposal methods if floodwaters bring contaminants into your home. Controlled demolition like flood cuts allows us access to trapped water we discerned using moisture probes and infrared cameras. Opening building cavities permits us to dry spaces out more efficiently as well.
If agreed upon by your carrier, we might pack-out contents for processing and restoration at our production facility. We track and secure the items using a digital and written Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS), why many home insurance companies recommend SRVPRO. Treasures and practical household goods can all benefit from our expert cleaning, drying, deodorizing, and disinfection. Restoring instead of discarding saves money and preserves memories.
