Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors and has been on the Earth for millions of years. Mold naturally occurs 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.

  1. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall wood, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
  2. Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants. Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
  3. Mold in your home can require cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, removal, or other treatment, of mold or mold-contaminated matter.
  4. 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.
  5. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours, quick action to deal with the problem is paramount.

If you suspect that your home or business has a mold problem, SERVPRO  can inspect and assess your property. Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.

If mold is found, we have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation

Fire & Water... Clean Up and Restoration

10/3/2022 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO, we know that we are recognized as being a cleaning company, and while that’s true, we’re so much more than that! We can not only clean, but we can also restore or reconstruct your home or business.

Here are the services that we provide home and business owners:

Water damage recovery. If you were to spring a leak in your home or a flash flood took over your living room floor, you could count on us to be there in no time. We will be ready to clean and restore whatever is necessary.

Fire damage recovery. A fire is reported every 23 seconds in the United States, and this is a downward trend. Fires can produce a lot of damage; besides the obvious, you can deal with things like soot and smoke. This is why when you call us, we bring out the heavy-duty equipment.

Mold removal. If you have dealt with mold damage to your home or business, you are aware that it can threaten the structure of your home. Because mold can be so dangerous and will likely spread, it’s best to let the professionals handle it for you.

Storm recovery. Whether your home or business has been struck by lightning or demolished by a tornado, you can count on SERVPRO to be there for you throughout the whole process.

Commercial needs. Business owners receive the same treatment and services that we provide homeowners, plus a few extra, like specialized cleaning and care to help you ensure that your business is clean and presentable for employees and customers.

General cleaning. Whether it’s a home or business, both need cleaning. The reality is that cleaning is a tedious task that tends to get pushed to the side. That’s why we offer these services to give your space a heavy-duty clean that you will crave.

Specialty cleaning. There are things in a home or business that sometimes need special attention, like air ducts or document restoration. Basically, if it can get dirty, we will get it cleaned.

Construction. There are times that restoring a home or business is not an option, and while that can be extremely overwhelming, you have professionals on your side. We will reconstruct your place and have it looking as good as it did before.

Add 24-hour service and an easy insurance process to all this, and the picture becomes clear—when you need cleanup and recovery of any kind, you can trust SERVPRO to get the job done.

This Is Why You Should Choose SERVPRO

9/21/2022 (Permalink)

Why Choose Us for Water Damage Restoration | SERVPRO® of
Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport/Pascagoula
Water damage is something that no one ever wants to discover in their home or commercial
property, but if it does happen to you, having a plan in advance is key. Water damage can occur
suddenly due to plumbing issues or flooding, or develop with time in the case of leaks or
rainwater seeping in—but regardless of the cause, acting quickly is key.
If left to fester, even relatively minor water damage can develop into a far more serious issue.
Water can quickly become contaminated, give rise to mold growth and even impact the
structural elements of a building, so quickly calling a reputable restoration company is a must as
soon as you discover it.
Why Consider SERVPRO® for Water Damage Restoration?
We Will Always Respond Quickly
As discussed, swiftness is a key component for dealing with water damage, which is why we are
here 24 hours a day and will always respond quickly when you give us a call. Regardless of the
size of your job, the extent of the water damage or the hour of the day, you can depend on us to
get to your home or business and get to work as quickly as possible.
Our Technicians Know Exactly What to Do
While we have helped hundreds of Biloxi-area residents with water damage over the years, it is
still true that no two instances of water damage are the same. That is why we invest heavily in
our technicians’ training, educating them both on the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and
Restoration Certification standards as well as our internal training tools. This ensures that no
matter what scenario they are faced with, they are able to handle it.
We Have the Equipment to Handle Damage
Water damage is about more than what you see, which is why we have the equipment to deal
with all the water damage present in your home instead of just some of it. We have the
technology to detect damage behind walls, under flooring and in other hidden crevices, so you
can be certain that we treat every bit of the damage before we leave.
If your home or business has water damage, you can depend on us for restoration. Contact us
today to learn more or receive a rapid response to address your damages.

Microbial Growth Is A Serious Problem.

9/7/2022 (Permalink)

Microbial growth is a serious problem for one to have in their home or business! Most people do not even know that they have microbial growth cultivating in their property. One way microbial growth makes itself known is it gives off an musty odor. It is important to not ignore a smell like this in you home or business. Leaving microbial growth alone to grow will only increase the cost of getting it removed. It is also putting the occupant(s) of the building's health at risk. You need to address the situation immediately. We will remedy your loss "Like it never even happened." Why wait? The microbial growth is not. It is only getting stronger and harsher. Call us at (228) 396-3965. We are always here to help.

It makes no difference the type of disaster that befalls you, from thunderstorms to tornadoes to house fires, chances are you may need damage restoration services at some point.

When that time comes, you’re going to have to make a decision quickly and decide who you want to hire for your restoration.

Service companies come in all shapes and size. Here are a few questions you need answered as you consider a partnership with a service company:

Are They Reliable?

Reliability is important. Not everyone that shows up after an emergency is there to help. Disasters seem to bring the scammers out in droves. They want a fast dollar with little or no actual work being completed.

We’ve been around for decades, and we’re not here today and gone tomorrow! We have earned our reputation working for millions of satisfied customers.

We also work with trusted national brands like the PGA Tour, which accept nothing less than the highest-quality services to maintain their affiliated facilities and tour stops.

Can They Act Fast?

When disaster strikes, you’ll need assistance quickly. Recovery and remediation need to start as soon as possible after the disaster itself has subsided.

That why we’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week so we can respond to your emergency.

What Other Resources Are Available?

SERVPRO of Pascagoula is locally owned and operated, which means there’s always a team right here in southern Mississippi ready to act. But when a hurricane comes or a surge of activity is at hand, your local franchise is backed by the full, nationwide network of SERVPRO franchises.

So when disaster strikes and there is a rush of trouble, we’ll be sending in highly trained experts to assist and ensure each and every homeowner gets the service they deserve.

When you call SERVPRO, you can rest easy knowing you’ve got the trusted leader in the restoration industry on the other end of the line. When disaster hits home, contact us to get our local experts and nationwide network on your side.

SERVPRO of Pascagoula professionals perform emergency services to limit secondary damages to property.

7/15/2022 (Permalink)

When the firefighters leave, it may seem like the danger has passed and the home is safe from further destruction, but without professionals to help clean the smoke damage, the building may never return to normal.

Experience and sufficient manpower is required for restoration after a fire. Procedures may vary depending on the type of damage to a building and the level or severity of the fire and smoke damage, and this means that it shouldn’t be attempted by a homeowner. The trained professionals at SERVPRO of Pascagoula should be called on-site immediately.  We can clean smoke damage and restore items affected by a fire, but we must be brought to the site as soon as possible to halt the ongoing issues that ash residue can cause. 

Ash residue is easily disturbed and can spread through the building causing nearly everything to need restoration. The only way to properly clean smoke and fire damage is to be extremely thorough. The experts at SERVPRO of Pascagoula pretest to determine what items must be replaced, what items can be cleaned, and what items are questionable, as well as what items do not need cleaning.

SERVPRO of Pascagoula professional restorers will locate the source of any smoke odors, and treat with specialized detergents that are formulated for neutralizing these kinds of odors. Once materials are treated, they can be sealed off to prevent any further odor from permeating the air in the future.

What to do until help arrives:

  • Do not attempt to wash any walls.
  • Do not attempt to shampoo carpet or upholstered furniture without first consulting a professional restoration service.
  • Do not use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored close to fire, heat, or water. They may have been contaminated.
  • Do limit the movement in the house to prevent soot particles from being impregnated into upholstery and carpets.
  • Keep hands clean. Soot on hands can impregnate upholstery, walls, and woodwork, causing more damage.
  • If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open to prevent odors from developing

Let SERVPRO of Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport help you with all your carpet cleaning needs.

6/28/2022 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO ofBiloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport we use more than 100 exclusive cleaning products and award winning training to get your carpet looking restored and rejuvenated. Below are some common misconceptions about having your carpets professionally cleaned.

1. The only reason to have your carpets cleaned is to remove the dirt.

  • In fact the IICRC standards for carpet cleaning S100, the CRI carpet and Rug institute, and United States EPA all state that: CARPETS MUST BE CLEANED FIRST FOR HEALTH, AND THEN FOR APPEARANCE. Studies conducted by the EPA have proven that the indoor air quality of many buildings is more polluted than the outdoor air.
  • Carpets act like a huge filter that traps all sorts of pathogens, toxins, and bio pollutants. For example tobacco smoke is a common toxin found in soiled carpets. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 different chemical compounds. Even if you, your family member or friends don’t smoke, the chemicals and so many others are picked up by your shoes, tracked into your house and deposited in your carpet.
  • Therefore in addition to removing dirt and soil, you may want to consider the health issues and indoor quality issues related to pollution's in your carpets. Having your carpets cleaned at least once a year will maintain a clean environment for you, your family, and friends.

2. Having the right equipment is all a company needs to clean your carpets properly.

  • This is simply not true. Many companies have top of the line equipment but do not know how you use it. You probably know someone who bought the most high tech cell phone on the market and does not know how to us it properly. The same thing happens with carpet cleaning equipment.
  • At SERVPRO ofBiloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport our equipment specialist go through extensive training with our production managers on how to properly use the equipment and the do’s and don’ts when cleaning carpets. They are also trained on more than 100 products so they know exactly what products to use on all type of carpet.

SERVPRO ofBiloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport is dedicated to excellence. We are proud of the products we useand the service we give. We are committed to our customers and treat them with honesty and integrity. Let us help you keep you, your family, and friends’ safe. Call us today to make an appointment to have your carpets cleaned by the professionals at SERVPRO of Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport.

Consider including non-perishable food items (like granola bars and bottled water) and flashlights, too. Secure your home. If you have time, securing your home should be part of it. Shutter or cover your windows, secure your outdoor furniture and your home. Also, take an inventory of valuables in your home to have them quickly if you need to file an insurance claim.

At SERVPRO, our number one priority is to make our customers happy. It may sound like the impossible task; after all, we are arriving on the scene when circumstances for our customers are devastating. A fire in their home, a busted pipe which has caused water damage in their kitchen, mold in their office building. These are difficult situations emotionally which is all the more reason for our employees to be sensitive to what our customers are dealing with. Many times, depending upon the damage we are mitigating, we could spend days, weeks, or even months in customer’s home or office. We get to know our clients one on one. We get to meet their children. We get to hear about their families. We know their pets’ names. We know where they leave the key in case they are not there. We get to know them by carefully handling all of their cherished possessions, sometimes cleaning them and packing them away until their homes are restored. At the end of the day, we are just people helping people.  That’s what it’s all about. Sometimes that means stopping what we are doing and having a cup of coffee or dinner with our customers if they ask. Sometimes it means taking out the family pet. Our salesperson recently captured a beautiful picture of one of our employees enjoying a meal with our customers in their home after she had spent hours helping them recover from a fire loss.

What a beautiful thing to see! Why SERVPRO?? Because we care about our customers...And they know it! Let us be the one you call when your life gets flipped upside

Why Choose Us for Water Damage Restoration

6/20/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage is something that no one ever wants to discover in their home or commercial
property, but if it does happen to you, having a plan in advance is key. Water damage can occur
suddenly due to plumbing issues or flooding, or develop with time in the case of leaks or
rainwater seeping in—but regardless of the cause, acting quickly is key.
If left to fester, even relatively minor water damage can develop into a far more serious issue.
Water can quickly become contaminated, give rise to mold growth and even impact the
structural elements of a building, so quickly calling a reputable restoration company is a must as
soon as you discover it.
Why Consider SERVPRO® for Water Damage Restoration?
We Will Always Respond Quickly
As discussed, swiftness is a key component for dealing with water damage, which is why we are
here 24 hours a day and will always respond quickly when you give us a call. Regardless of the
size of your job, the extent of the water damage or the hour of the day, you can depend on us to
get to your home or business and get to work as quickly as possible.
Our Technicians Know Exactly What to Do
While we have helped hundreds of Biloxi-area residents with water damage over the years, it is
still true that no two instances of water damage are the same. That is why we invest heavily in
our technicians’ training, educating them both on the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and
Restoration Certification standards as well as our internal training tools. This ensures that no
matter what scenario they are faced with, they are able to handle it.
We Have the Equipment to Handle Damage
Water damage is about more than what you see, which is why we have the equipment to deal
with all the water damage present in your home instead of just some of it. We have the
technology to detect damage behind walls, under flooring and in other hidden crevices, so you
can be certain that we treat every bit of the damage before we leave.
If your home or business has water damage, you can depend on us for restoration. Contact us
today to learn more or receive a rapid response to address your damages.

Fire & Water... Clean Up and Restoration

6/15/2022 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO, we know that we are recognized as being a cleaning company, and while that’s true, we’re so much more than that! We can not only clean, but we can also restore or reconstruct your home or business.

Here are the services that we provide home and business owners:

Water damage recovery. If you were to spring a leak in your home or a flash flood took over your living room floor, you could count on us to be there in no time. We will be ready to clean and restore whatever is necessary.

Fire damage recovery. A fire is reported every 23 seconds in the United States, and this is a downward trend. Fires can produce a lot of damage; besides the obvious, you can deal with things like soot and smoke. This is why when you call us, we bring out the heavy-duty equipment.

Mold removal. If you have dealt with mold damage to your home or business, you are aware that it can threaten the structure of your home. Because mold can be so dangerous and will likely spread, it’s best to let the professionals handle it for you.

Storm recovery. Whether your home or business has been struck by lightning or demolished by a tornado, you can count on SERVPRO to be there for you throughout the whole process.

Commercial needs. Business owners receive the same treatment and services that we provide homeowners, plus a few extra, like specialized cleaning and care to help you ensure that your business is clean and presentable for employees and customers.

General cleaning. Whether it’s a home or business, both need cleaning. The reality is that cleaning is a tedious task that tends to get pushed to the side. That’s why we offer these services to give your space a heavy-duty clean that you will crave.

Specialty cleaning. There are things in a home or business that sometimes need special attention, like air ducts or document restoration. Basically, if it can get dirty, we will get it cleaned.

Construction. There are times that restoring a home or business is not an option, and while that can be extremely overwhelming, you have professionals on your side. We will reconstruct your place and have it looking as good as it did before.

Add 24-hour service and an easy insurance process to all this, and the picture becomes clear—when you need cleanup and recovery of any kind, you can trust SERVPRO to get the job done.

SERVPRO For Bio Hazard Clean Up

6/6/2022 (Permalink)

Safety is ALWAYS at the front of our minds on any job here at SERVPRO of Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, & Pascagoula – from biohazard cleanup to fire restoration. But the truth is, once our mind is focused on the job at hand, it’s easy to forget simple ways to keep ourselves and our team safe.  OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was established in 1971 to help ensure employees have a workplace free from recognized hazards. While OSHA does help with safety, no one agency can be responsible for the safety of everyone every day. It’s no secret safety issues increase following a fire, flood or other disaster. So it’s up to restoration contractors and technicians to understand the risks and be trained to handle them whether it be high levels of bacteria in a flooded home, or mold on a basement wall. 

Basic Safety Risks 

Here are some safety risks to consider specifically related to restoration and remediation work, and very simple safety tips to keep in mind: 

  • Structural integrity issues caused by fire or flood damage – do not walk on surfaces that are not stable.
  • Possible exposures from toxic chemical substances generated during a fire or in flood water -- wear rubber boots and gloves.
  • A variety of sharp metal objects, razor blades, jagged edges – use care when handling and clean any cuts or wounds.
  • Breathing dust containing asbestos or other toxic materials – wear proper filtration masks.
  • Eye injuries from flying debris, dust, contaminated water and cleaning chemicals – wear safety goggles.
  • Carbon monoxide from propane or gas fired generators or other equipment – do not work in these areas.
  • Ladders – avoid electrical wires, position at a safe angle; don’t place on unstable surfaces.
  • Chain saws and other power tools– follow manufacturer’s instructions and don’t overreach.
  • Trucks or other heavy equipment backing up or being moved – always be alert on the job.
  • Remediating death scenes (may include blood or bodily fluids) – use gloves and other PPE (personal protection equipment) like hazmat suits.Highly Trained Restoration Specialists
  • Our SERVPRO Professionals are highly trained in property restoration. From initial and ongoing training at SERVPRO's Corporate Training Facility to regular IICRC industry certifications, our Professionals are equipped with the knowledge to restore your property. The SERVPRO training program includes:

Handling Chemicals 

Technicians should also be trained to select and use appropriate cleaning chemicals, disinfectants and protectors. For example, bleach, while readily available and inexpensive, is a caustic and hazardous chemical. It can cause harm to human skin and mucus membranes, is corrosive to metals, is readily inactivated by organic matter, produces irritating fumes, and can generate deadly chlorine gas or form explosive compounds if inadvertently mixed with ammonia or ammonia-containing products. When using any chemical, care should also be taken to allow adequate dwell time for EPA registered disinfectants. All EPA labeled directions must be followed. Moreover, using a chemical that may be “safer” and less toxic may not be strong enough to inactivate target organisms. There is no doubt the most efficient method to stay safe is to constantly be aware of your work area surroundings and follow OSHA and industry guidelines. Safety is everybody’s job.

Safety Tips For Biohazard Cleanup

From initial and ongoing training at SERVPRO's Corporate Training Facility to regular IICRC industry certifications, our Professionals are equipped with the knowledge to restore your property. The SERVPRO training program includes the follow:

Beyond PPEs

Now, let’s dive a little deeper. Workers must avoid exposures to microbial contamination and chemicals via skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. This requires the use of PPE’s and good personal hygiene. Washing hands often and not eating in areas where work is being performed are two simple practices that should not be overlooked.  Even with the proper PPE’s, physical and emotional stress can take a toll. Pace yourself and take frequent breaks. Keep a watchful eye on those helping with cleanup and be vigilant of your surroundings. Drink plenty of water in order to stay hydrated. Seek medical attention if your body temperature exceeds 103degrees Fahrenheit, you experience dizziness or nausea or you have other health concerns. Talk to your primary care physician about tetanus or other vaccinations you may need. 

Handling Chemicals 

Technicians should also be trained to select and use appropriate cleaning chemicals, disinfectants and protectors. For example, bleach, while readily available and inexpensive, is a caustic and hazardous chemical. It can cause harm to human skin and mucus membranes, is corrosive to metals, is readily inactivated by organic matter, produces irritating fumes, and can generate deadly chlorine gas or form explosive compounds if inadvertently mixed with ammonia or ammonia-containing products. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported in 2004 that there were over 57,000 exposures, major or minor, reported from bleach across the United States. When using any chemical, care should also be taken to allow adequate dwell time for EPA registered disinfectants. All EPA labeled directions must be followed. Moreover, using a chemical that may be “safer” and less toxic may not be strong enough to inactivate target organisms. There is no doubt the most efficient method to stay safe is to constantly be aware of your work area surroundings and follow OSHA and industry guidelines.

It makes no difference the type of disaster that befalls you, from thunderstorms to tornadoes to house fires, chances are you may need damage restoration services at some point.

When that time comes, you’re going to have to make a decision quickly and decide who you want to hire for your restoration.

Service companies come in all shapes and size. Here are a few questions you need answered as you consider a partnership with a service company:

Are They Reliable?

Reliability is important. Not everyone that shows up after an emergency is there to help. Disasters seem to bring the scammers out in droves. They want a fast dollar with little or no actual work being completed.

We’ve been around for decades, and we’re not here today and gone tomorrow! We have earned our reputation working for millions of satisfied customers.

We also work with trusted national brands like the PGA Tour, which accept nothing less than the highest-quality services to maintain their affiliated facilities and tour stops.

Can They Act Fast?

When disaster strikes, you’ll need assistance quickly. Recovery and remediation need to start as soon as possible after the disaster itself has subsided.

That why we’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week so we can respond to your emergency.

What Other Resources Are Available?

SERVPRO of Pascagoula is locally owned and operated, which means there’s always a team right here in southern Mississippi ready to act. But when a hurricane comes or a surge of activity is at hand, your local franchise is backed by the full, nationwide network of SERVPRO franchises.

So when disaster strikes and there is a rush of trouble, we’ll be sending in highly trained experts to assist and ensure each and every homeowner gets the service they deserve.

When you call SERVPRO, you can rest easy knowing you’ve got the trusted leader in the restoration industry on the other end of the line. When disaster hits home, contact us to get our local experts and nationwide network on your side.

Emergency Planning

Even with insurance coverage, disasters can shake the foundations of even the best-managed companies. Make a business assessment for the survival of your company. Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company’s very survival often depends on being prepared to responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs. Before any calamity strikes, you should know what tasks will need to be performed to get your company running again and who will be responsible for accomplishing them. While there is no one-size-fits-all recovery plan, every business’ strategy should include some basics. Laying the groundwork by preparing to handle insurance claims, scouting viable options for temporary operations and considering the implications of various financial alternatives before trouble strikes can make the process of recovery much easier. The impacts from hazards can be reduced by investing in mitigation. If there is a potential for significant impacts, then creating a mitigation strategy should be a high priority.

Depending upon the details of the policy that you have selected for your business, commercial property insurance may cover damage or loss of the insured property, time element losses, loss mitigation costs, and loss adjustment expenses. It may also cover costs for public relations, research and development, and other necessities. When a disaster occurs, it is crucial to take the steps that will preserve and maximize your insurance coverage. To ensure that you receive all the benefits that your business is entitled to, familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of your policy before any problems arise. Work with your insurance company to create a checklist of your responsibilities after a loss to aid you in meeting deadlines and assembling documentation. Knowing what you are responsible for and being organized will make the recovery smoother and faster.

Making Your Claim

If your business is hit by disaster, set your recovery plan into motion by providing prompt notification of any claim to your insurance company. Be ready to meet any deadlines for filing proof of loss statements. If circumstances make the deadline for these statements unreasonable, get written approval for extensions. Be prepared to meet any requirements for preserving the evidence of your claim if destructive testing or immediate remediation is necessary. You will also want to record your loss mitigation efforts and the reasons that these efforts were needed.

Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company's very survival often depends on responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs.

Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company’s very survival often depends on responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs. SERVPRO of Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport has a FREE customizable app that can aid your company recover in a timely manner. 

Timing Matters

Timing is critical in insurance claims. While keeping your insurance company informed is important, you need to understand any time limitations in your policy and their potential consequences. Review your policy to see if there is a deadline for electing a valuation method. See if there is a time limit for rebuilding or replacement. You will also want to check your policy for a suit limitation clause. Most policies contain one, so you will want to be sure that it is conservatively calendared to give you time to maneuver if necessary.

Payment Possibilities

It is not surprising that cash flow is a primary concern for a business working to recover after a catastrophe. While it can take time for a claim to be settled, some insurance policies contain provisions for claim advances or partial payments. Search through your policy to see if these provisions are included and identify how you would invoke them.

Re-establishing Operations

A business impact analysis (https://www.ready.gov/business-impact-analysis) of your business before a disaster will plan and effectively get your business running smoothly again. Before anything bad happens, think about how your business could operate during the recovery phase. This may involve moving to a temporary location or finding storage for undamaged inventory or equipment, so it’s smart to be aware of the possibilities in your area. Make a note to analyze leasing and service contracts if you are forced to relocate so that you can try to tailor them to your business’s specific needs.

Property Considerations

Regardless of where you set up shop after a catastrophe, you will have to decide what to do with your original location. Is rehabilitating or rebuilding the site worthwhile? If you believe that it is, then you will need to arrange for professional remediation, design and construction services. If you decide against rebuilding, then you must figure out how to dispose of that property and acquire a new permanent location. Remember that a new location will still require design and construction services in order to modify it to suit your company’s needs. Don’t forget to review zoning issues for any new property to verify that your business will be able to build appropriate facilities and operate as desired at that location.

Financing Issues

Even with insurance, a recovery may require financing. Depending on your recovery plans, options might include a line of credit, an acquisition loan or a construction loan. In some situations, it may be possible to use legal actions to seek reimbursement from the party responsible for your loss. Weigh all the possibilities carefully and remember to consider the potential tax consequences. Understanding the pros and cons of your options before any problems start will make it easier to make smart decisions when a disaster hits.

The Only Fire Restoration Team You Will Need

5/10/2022 (Permalink)

When the firefighters leave, it may seem like the danger has passed and the home is safe from further destruction, but without professionals to help clean the smoke damage, the building may never return to normal.

SERVPRO of Pascagoula professionals perform emergency services to limit secondary damages to property.

Experience and sufficient manpower is required for restoration after a fire. Procedures may vary depending on the type of damage to a building and the level or severity of the fire and smoke damage, and this means that it shouldn’t be attempted by a homeowner. The trained professionals at SERVPRO of Biloxi should be called on-site immediately.  We can clean smoke damage and restore items affected by a fire, but we must be brought to the site as soon as possible to halt the ongoing issues that ash residue can cause. 

Ash residue is easily disturbed and can spread through the building causing nearly everything to need restoration. The only way to properly clean smoke and fire damage is to be extremely thorough. The experts at SERVPRO of Pascagoula pretest to determine what items must be replaced, what items can be cleaned, and what items are questionable, as well as what items do not need cleaning.

SERVPRO of Pascagoula professional restorers will locate the source of any smoke odors, and treat with specialized detergents that are formulated for neutralizing these kinds of odors. Once materials are treated, they can be sealed off to prevent any further odor from permeating the air in the future.

What to do until help arrives:

  • Do not attempt to wash any walls.
  • Do not attempt to shampoo carpet or upholstered furniture without first consulting a professional restoration service.
  • Do not use any canned or packaged food or beverages that may have been stored close to fire, heat, or water. They may have been contaminated.
  • Do limit the movement in the house to prevent soot particles from being impregnated into upholstery and carpets.
  • Keep hands clean. Soot on hands can impregnate upholstery, walls, and woodwork, causing more damage.
  • If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open to prevent odors from developing

For more information on the services that SERVPRO of Pascagoula provides regarding water and fire damage cleanup for your commercial or residential structure call 228-396-3965.

The Five Issues Mold Creates In Your Home

5/6/2022 (Permalink)

Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors and has been on the Earth for millions of years. Mold naturally occurs 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.

  1. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall wood, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.
  2. Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants. Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
  3. Mold in your home can require cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, removal, or other treatment, of mold or mold-contaminated matter.
  4. 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.
  5. Mold can spread throughout a property in as little as 48 hours, quick action to deal with the problem is paramount.

If you suspect that your home or business has a mold problem, SERVPRO of Biloxi/Ocean Springs/Gulfport/ Pascagoula can inspect and assess your property. Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.

If mold is found, we have the training, equipment, and expertise to handle the situation.

The Four Components To A Fire Evacuation Plan

5/4/2022 (Permalink)

If a fire spreads through your home you need to ensure that everyone evacuates as quickly as possible. To keep the evacuation fast and seamless, it’s crucial to create a home fire escape plan. Designing and practicing the plan with your family members helps everyone be prepared in case of a real fire. Here are the most essential components of a home evacuation plan.

  1. Escape Routes

To prevent any confusion, it’s important to designate several escape routes in your home. Take note of all the exits in your house, including doors and windows. It’s preferable to indicate two escape routes for each room so that everyone has more options to get out safely in the event of a home fire.

  1. Smoke Alarms

Next, you should make sure that all of the smoke alarms in your home are functioning properly. There should be one installed in each bedroom as well as outside of each sleeping area. Smoke alarms must also be present on each level of the house, including the basement. Having the right number of functioning alarms in your home is a vital aspect of basic fire preparation.

  1. Meeting Area

Once you’ve planned the fire escape routes and checked your alarms, you need to designate a meeting place outdoors where your family can converge. Examples of a meeting area include:

  • Mailbox
  • Street sign
  • Light post
  • Another house far away from yours

Be sure that the meeting place is a sufficient distance away from your home and all of your family members know the location.

  1. Practice

The most effective way to ensure that everyone follows the plan in a real emergency is to practice it repeatedly. Make sure to conduct drills in your home and familiarize your kids with the evacuation plan. When everyone is prepared, they can react calmly and stay safe in case of a real fire.

Creating a reliable fire escape plan is only the first step towards recovering from a fire. To have your home return to its normal state, contact SERVPRO of Pascagoula, your emergency restoration service, as soon as possible.

Safety Tips For Biohazard Cleanup

5/2/2022 (Permalink)

Safety is ALWAYS at the front of our minds on any job here at SERVPRO of Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, & Pascagoula – from biohazard cleanup to fire restoration. But the truth is, once our mind is focused on the job at hand, it’s easy to forget simple ways to keep ourselves and our team safe.  OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was established in 1971 to help ensure employees have a workplace free from recognized hazards. While OSHA does help with safety, no one agency can be responsible for the safety of everyone every day. It’s no secret safety issues increase following a fire, flood or other disaster. So it’s up to restoration contractors and technicians to understand the risks and be trained to handle them whether it be high levels of bacteria in a flooded home, or mold on a basement wall. 

Basic Safety Risks 

Here are some safety risks to consider specifically related to restoration and remediation work, and very simple safety tips to keep in mind: 

  • Structural integrity issues caused by fire or flood damage – do not walk on surfaces that are not stable.
  • Possible exposures from toxic chemical substances generated during a fire or in flood water -- wear rubber boots and gloves.
  • A variety of sharp metal objects, razor blades, jagged edges – use care when handling and clean any cuts or wounds.
  • Breathing dust containing asbestos or other toxic materials – wear proper filtration masks.
  • Eye injuries from flying debris, dust, contaminated water and cleaning chemicals – wear safety goggles.
  • Carbon monoxide from propane or gas fired generators or other equipment – do not work in these areas.
  • Ladders – avoid electrical wires, position at a safe angle; don’t place on unstable surfaces.
  • Chain saws and other power tools– follow manufacturer’s instructions and don’t overreach.
  • Trucks or other heavy equipment backing up or being moved – always be alert on the job.
  • Remediating death scenes (may include blood or bodily fluids) – use gloves and other PPE (personal protection equipment) like hazmat suits.Highly Trained Restoration Specialists
  • Our SERVPRO Professionals are highly trained in property restoration. From initial and ongoing training at SERVPRO's Corporate Training Facility to regular IICRC industry certifications, our Professionals are equipped with the knowledge to restore your property. The SERVPRO training program includes the follow:

Beyond PPEs

Now, let’s dive a little deeper. Workers must avoid exposures to microbial contamination and chemicals via skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. This requires the use of PPE’s and good personal hygiene. Washing hands often and not eating in areas where work is being performed are two simple practices that should not be overlooked.  Even with the proper PPE’s, physical and emotional stress can take a toll. Pace yourself and take frequent breaks. Keep a watchful eye on those helping with cleanup and be vigilant of your surroundings. Drink plenty of water in order to stay hydrated. Seek medical attention if your body temperature exceeds 103degrees Fahrenheit, you experience dizziness or nausea or you have other health concerns. Talk to your primary care physician about tetanus or other vaccinations you may need. 

Handling Chemicals 

Technicians should also be trained to select and use appropriate cleaning chemicals, disinfectants and protectors. For example, bleach, while readily available and inexpensive, is a caustic and hazardous chemical. It can cause harm to human skin and mucus membranes, is corrosive to metals, is readily inactivated by organic matter, produces irritating fumes, and can generate deadly chlorine gas or form explosive compounds if inadvertently mixed with ammonia or ammonia-containing products. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reported in 2004 that there were over 57,000 exposures, major or minor, reported from bleach across the United States. When using any chemical, care should also be taken to allow adequate dwell time for EPA registered disinfectants. All EPA labeled directions must be followed. Moreover, using a chemical that may be “safer” and less toxic may not be strong enough to inactivate target organisms. There is no doubt the most efficient method to stay safe is to constantly be aware of your work area surroundings and follow OSHA and industry guidelines. Safety is everybody’s job.

Key Benefits of Our 6-Step Water Damage Restoration Process

3/11/2021 (Permalink)

Sustaining moisture damage to your house or business is scary, but acting fast is the best thing you can do. That is why we are here 24/7—you can call us at any hour to start our proven, six-step restoration process to have your home back to its pre-damaged state fast.

1. Initial Emergency Contact
Our 24-hour emergency line means that you can get in touch with us regardless of what hour you discover the damage. We will ask for key information to learn more about the damage and make the call on what resources and staffing numbers your job will require.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment
After your call, we will rush to you in order to assess the full extent of the damage and review a detailed restoration plan before we begin the work. This is also where we will check for any safety hazards like contaminated water and halt the source of the water, if necessary.

3. Moisture Extraction
Extracting the water quickly is the best chance you have at reducing the overall damage, which is why we bring in industrial-grade vacuums and pumps to do just that. We also offer move-out services to help you quickly and safely remove your belongings to prevent further damages.

4. Dehumidifying and Drying
After the bulk of the water is removed, we bring in our advanced dryers to use on all the porous substances on your home (basically anything that is not metal or plastic). This will dry everything out thoroughly and reduce the likelihood that mold and mildew will cause severe issues to your home.

5. Cleaning and Repair
Once they are fully dry, structures and objects that have been water-damaged will generally need a thorough cleaning as well. This ensures that they are not contaminated, and also prevents them from developing a harsh odor that is common for water-damaged things.

6. Restoration
When you work with us, we guarantee a complete restoration—which also includes making structural repairs to drywall, floors and other elements of your home as well as painting and refinishing to ensure it is fully restored to its pre-damaged condition.

If your home has been water-damaged, you can count on us to help. Call us 24/7 to get the process started.

Why You Should Choose SERVPRO

2/5/2021 (Permalink)

The past few decades has seen a rapid advancement in the technology and techniques used in the restoration industry. These advancements allow SERVPRO of Pascagoula's Professionals to restore a property back to its preloss condition quickly, reliably, and more effectively.

The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) sets practical standards for restoration and cleaning. The IICRC S500 Water Damage Guide is a specific set of practical standards that incorporate the field of psychometry, which involves the manipulation of temperature and relative humidity to remove moisture and dry a property quickly and effectively.

Moisture Detection and Measurement Equipment

Scientific drying principles rely upon specialized equipment to detect, measure, and monitor a property’s moisture levels. Recent advances, like infrared cameras, can help us detect water through a wall, ceiling, or floor.

  • An infrared camera may be used to identify water location for thorough water removal.
  • Sensitive moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation

Water Extraction Equipment

Powerful extraction equipment speeds the drying process by removing the bulk of the water from your home or business.

  • Submersible and gas-powered pumps for continuous pumping of high-level water. 
  • Truck-mounted and portable extraction units perform efficient water removal.

Drying Equipment

Industrial strength air movers and dehumidifiers are needed to remove the remaining moisture from ceiling, walls, and floors of your home or business. Proper drying helps to prevent swelling and warping of floors, walls, and furniture.

  • High-speed air movers causes moisture to evaporate at a faster pace
  • Industrial grade dehumidifiers pull the water vapor from the air.

Odor Removal and Deodorization

Water and fire damage often causes powerful odors. The machines we use remove airborne contaminants and control the air quality during the restoration and cleanup process.

  • Air scrubbers
  • Thermal foggers and deodorization agents

Sanitizing Agents, Germicides, and Anti-Microbial Treatments

The use of OSHA-approved cleaning agents may be needed to clean and remove odors and/or contaminants on your property.

  • Deodorization products control odors from excessive moisture.
  • Disinfection products stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms.

Why Choose SERVPRO for Bio Hazard Clean-UP

2/4/2021 (Permalink)

Safety is ALWAYS at the front of our minds on any job here at SERVPRO of Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, & Pascagoula – from biohazard cleanup to fire restoration. But the truth is, once our mind is focused on the job at hand, it’s easy to forget simple ways to keep ourselves and our team safe.  OSHA, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was established in 1971 to help ensure employees have a workplace free from recognized hazards. While OSHA does help with safety, no one agency can be responsible for the safety of everyone every day. It’s no secret safety issues increase following a fire, flood or other disaster. So it’s up to restoration contractors and technicians to understand the risks and be trained to handle them whether it be high levels of bacteria in a flooded home, or mold on a basement wall. 

Basic Safety Risks 

Here are some safety risks to consider specifically related to restoration and remediation work, and very simple safety tips to keep in mind: 

  • Structural integrity issues caused by fire or flood damage – do not walk on surfaces that are not stable.
  • Possible exposures from toxic chemical substances generated during a fire or in flood water -- wear rubber boots and gloves.
  • A variety of sharp metal objects, razor blades, jagged edges – use care when handling and clean any cuts or wounds.
  • Breathing dust containing asbestos or other toxic materials – wear proper filtration masks.
  • Eye injuries from flying debris, dust, contaminated water and cleaning chemicals – wear safety goggles.
  • Carbon monoxide from propane or gas fired generators or other equipment – do not work in these areas.
  • Ladders – avoid electrical wires, position at a safe angle; don’t place on unstable surfaces.
  • Chain saws and other power tools– follow manufacturer’s instructions and don’t overreach.
  • Trucks or other heavy equipment backing up or being moved – always be alert on the job.
  • Remediating death scenes (may include blood or bodily fluids) – use gloves and other PPE (personal protection equipment) like hazmat suits.Highly Trained Restoration Specialists
  • Our SERVPRO Professionals are highly trained in property restoration. From initial and ongoing training at SERVPRO's Corporate Training Facility to regular IICRC industry certifications, our Professionals are equipped with the knowledge to restore your property. The SERVPRO training program includes:

Handling Chemicals 

Technicians should also be trained to select and use appropriate cleaning chemicals, disinfectants and protectors. For example, bleach, while readily available and inexpensive, is a caustic and hazardous chemical. It can cause harm to human skin and mucus membranes, is corrosive to metals, is readily inactivated by organic matter, produces irritating fumes, and can generate deadly chlorine gas or form explosive compounds if inadvertently mixed with ammonia or ammonia-containing products. When using any chemical, care should also be taken to allow adequate dwell time for EPA registered disinfectants. All EPA labeled directions must be followed. Moreover, using a chemical that may be “safer” and less toxic may not be strong enough to inactivate target organisms. There is no doubt the most efficient method to stay safe is to constantly be aware of your work area surroundings and follow OSHA and industry guidelines. Safety is everybody’s job.

Emergency Planning

Even with insurance coverage, disasters can shake the foundations of even the best-managed companies. Make a business assessment for the survival of your company. Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company’s very survival often depends on being prepared to responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs. Before any calamity strikes, you should know what tasks will need to be performed to get your company running again and who will be responsible for accomplishing them. While there is no one-size-fits-all recovery plan, every business’ strategy should include some basics. Laying the groundwork by preparing to handle insurance claims, scouting viable options for temporary operations and considering the implications of various financial alternatives before trouble strikes can make the process of recovery much easier. The impacts from hazards can be reduced by investing in mitigation. If there is a potential for significant impacts, then creating a mitigation strategy should be a high priority.

Insurance Considerations

Depending upon the details of the policy that you have selected for your business, commercial property insurance may cover damage or loss of the insured property, time element losses, loss mitigation costs, and loss adjustment expenses. It may also cover costs for public relations, research and development, and other necessities. When a disaster occurs, it is crucial to take the steps that will preserve and maximize your insurance coverage. To ensure that you receive all the benefits that your business is entitled to, familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of your policy before any problems arise. Work with your insurance company to create a checklist of your responsibilities after a loss to aid you in meeting deadlines and assembling documentation. Knowing what you are responsible for and being organized will make the recovery smoother and faster.

Making Your Claim

If your business is hit by disaster, set your recovery plan into motion by providing prompt notification of any claim to your insurance company. Be ready to meet any deadlines for filing proof of loss statements. If circumstances make the deadline for these statements unreasonable, get written approval for extensions. Be prepared to meet any requirements for preserving the evidence of your claim if destructive testing or immediate remediation is necessary. You will also want to record your loss mitigation efforts and the reasons that these efforts were needed.

Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company's very survival often depends on responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs.

Regardless of the cause of the catastrophe, a company’s very survival often depends on responding quickly and efficiently, so a carefully constructed disaster recovery plan is one asset that every business needs. SERVPRO of Pascagoula has a FREE customizable app that can aid your company recover in a timely manner. 

Timing Matters

Timing is critical in insurance claims. While keeping your insurance company informed is important, you need to understand any time limitations in your policy and their potential consequences. Review your policy to see if there is a deadline for electing a valuation method. See if there is a time limit for rebuilding or replacement. You will also want to check your policy for a suit limitation clause. Most policies contain one, so you will want to be sure that it is conservatively calendared to give you time to maneuver if necessary.

Payment Possibilities

It is not surprising that cash flow is a primary concern for a business working to recover after a catastrophe. While it can take time for a claim to be settled, some insurance policies contain provisions for claim advances or partial payments. Search through your policy to see if these provisions are included and identify how you would invoke them.

Re-establishing Operations

A business impact analysis of your business before a disaster will plan and effectively get your business running smoothly again. Before anything bad happens, think about how your business could operate during the recovery phase. This may involve moving to a temporary location or finding storage for undamaged inventory or equipment, so it’s smart to be aware of the possibilities in your area. Make a note to analyze leasing and service contracts if you are forced to relocate so that you can try to tailor them to your business’s specific needs.

Property Considerations

Regardless of where you set up shop after a catastrophe, you will have to decide what to do with your original location. Is rehabilitating or rebuilding the site worthwhile? If you believe that it is, then you will need to arrange for professional remediation, design and construction services. If you decide against rebuilding, then you must figure out how to dispose of that property and acquire a new permanent location. Remember that a new location will still require design and construction services in order to modify it to suit your company’s needs. Don’t forget to review zoning issues for any new property to verify that your business will be able to build appropriate facilities and operate as desired at that location.

Financing Issues

Even with insurance, a recovery may require financing. Depending on your recovery plans, options might include a line of credit, an acquisition loan or a construction loan. In some situations, it may be possible to use legal actions to seek reimbursement from the party responsible for your loss. Weigh all the possibilities carefully and remember to consider the potential tax consequences. Understanding the pros and cons of your options before any problems start will make it easier to make smart decisions when a disaster hits.
