The Importance of Mold Remediation Services

Friday, May 4th, 2012

When people see mold on their bread, fruits, or leftovers, they freak out…but don’t pay enough attention to mold growths in their households. The mold that expands, unencumbered, in dark corners of your home. Without detection and remediation, they can create horrific consequences for you and anyone at your household.

 

The problem with this mold is that you usually cannot see it. It tends to grow best in dark, damp areas, such as basements, under sinks, and attics. If left untreated, the mold can cause symptoms including allergic reactions, coughing, rashes, nasal congestion, swollen eyes, difficulty breathing, migraines, and the list goes on. But how can you tell if your home has a mold problem?

 

Unfortunately, warning signs of a mold problem can be the symptoms themselves. If you have unexplained flu-like symptoms or allergic reactions, they may be the result of undetectable mold spores in your walls. The other signs of mold are less harmful and easier to spot. Unpleasant, but mold has a distinct odor you cannot get rid of without the removal of the mold itself. Rotten surfaces and dampness in walls or floors can also be warnings that mold resides on the opposite end.

 

The best thing to when you detect mold in your home is to call a mold remediation company like ServiceMaster by Disaster Associates, Inc. We deal with mold in homes on a regular basis and have all the necessary tools to get rid of the horrible mold. A bottle of bleach and hard scrubbing just doesn’t do it. We use infrared technology to detect mold and water stains inside surfaces, have special chemicals to kills the mold, dry ice blasting to remove any last trace, and can even offer to repair any destruction and locate the origin of the water leak that caused the growth. We do a thorough job to keep you and your family safe. mold

Fire at the 2012 Daytona 500

Monday, March 5th, 2012

NASCAR Daytona 500 Auto RacingTrue to its mission of providing fast and precise janitorial and disaster relief services, ServiceMaster Clean came to the rescue during the 2012 Daytona 500 on February 27 at Daytona International Speedway.

 

During a late-race “ServiceMaster Clean Yellow Flag Caution”, driver Juan Pablo Montoya lost control of his car and collided into a ServiceMaster Clean jet dryer that was cleaning the track. Jet fuel from the track dryer leaked down the race track and ignited, sending flames rising approximately 20 to 30 feet into the air. Montoya exited his car unhurt and the driver of the jet dryer, Duane Barnes, also exited his vehicle safely. Barnes was later taken to a local hospital for evaluation and released.

 

Within seconds, the Daytona International Speedway track cleaning team was on the scene to quickly restore t

he track and return to racing. During a yellow flag, the race track is cleaned and dried much the same way ServiceMaster Clean restores homes and businesses across the country when they are damaged by fire and smoke. 

 

Like the speeds that attract millions of racing fans each week to NASCAR events, ServiceMaster Clean has a long-time commitment to delivering exceptional services to residential and business customers. In auto racing, a yellow flag signal it’s time to clean the track; debris removal and track drying must be done quickly and professionally in order to restart the race and get the drivers back on the track.

 

“In homes and businesses, a yellow ServiceMaster Clean van means cleaning and restoration are being performed quickly and professionally similar to how the ServiceMaster Clean team quickly got the Daytona 500 back underway.” “The speed and precision in racing parallels the services offered by ServiceMaster Clean.”

 

Since 2009, ServiceMaster Clean has been the official sponsor of the Yellow Flag caution period during races at International Speedway Corporation (ISC), Speedway Motorsports Incorporated (SMI) and Dover International Speedway.
