SERVPRO technicians tackled the mold damage in this Orlando home. The mold spread under the carpet and within the wall cavities requiring removal of the building materials to open up the interior areas for drying and mold removal.

When handling water clean-up in Orlando properties, SERVPRO technicians remove the minimum needed materials for the mitigation. Only the laminate floorboards affected by the water have been removed for drying the slab substrate. This assists in limiting the repair costs for the most economical outcome for restoration services.

A Winter Park garage had extensive fire damage throughout the room. SERVPRO technicians removed the lawnmower, appliances, and other items to an outside cleaning station for inspection and cleaning for potential reuse. The techs needed to remove a large amount of charred sheetrock and insulation.

Prevention is key! 

1. Install the right number of smoke alarms. Test them once a month and replace the batteries at least once a year.
2. Teach children what smoke alarms sound like and what to do when they hear one.
3. Ensure that all household members know two ways to escape from every room of your home.
4. Establish a family emergency communications plan.
5. Practice escaping from your home at least twice a year.
6. Make sure everyone knows how to call 9-1-1.
7. Teach household members to STOP, DROP and ROLL if their clothes should catch on fire.

Let’s say you’re frying your favorite food and suddenly you notice wisps of smoke escaping from the oil you’re using. Before you know it, there are flames leaping up from the pan. What should you do? The key to putting out a grease fire is to suffocate it by cutting off any oxygen flow. Here are a few ways you can do this safely:

1. Turn off the heat source.
2. Cover with a metal baking sheet or lid.
3. Pour salt or baking soda on the flame.
4. Use a Class B fire extinguisher.
5. As a last resort, call 911 and evacuate your home.
6. Finally Call SERVPRO of South Orange county for the fire restoration. 407-226-2621

DEHUMIDIFIERS: Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air after it has evaporated.  Our technicians position dehumidifiers strategically in a water-damaged structure so the moist, humid air moves through the unit while dry, warm air is discharged from the unit circulating back into the wet areas. Did you know that dry air acts like a sponge to absorb moisture from wet materials? Since it does, we use the dehumidifiers especially because it provides a continual source of dry air to enhance the restoration process. Refrigerant dehumidifiers remove water vapor through condensation, and based on the specific job, we will use a small commercial refrigerant dehumidifier because it removes approximately 8 gallons of water per day from the atmosphere, while an extra-large commercial refrigerant could remove as much as 20 gallons per day.
