Let Us Restore Your Bear, DE Property with Ultrasonic Cleaning

To Learn More About Ultrasonic Cleaning Call SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle, DE (302) 392-6000.

One of the types of services SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle is proud to offer is ultrasonic cleaning and contents restoration, which is one of the most efficient and effective ways to restoring your smoke, water, and mold damaged property.

About Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning is one of the most effective and efficient way of cleaning contents. The secret is cavitation, which is when millions of microscopic bubbles are repeatedly formed and immediately collapse. This action causes the bubbles to penetrate into every nook and cranny. What’s impressive is that there are no scrubbing or abrasive chemicals!! This process involves submerging items into a pre-wash station, next into the wash station, and then it moves to the third machine seen pictured where they are then rinsed.

About Contents Restoration

Contents restoration is a significant aspect of what we do. It not only does it help to restore damaged property, it helps to restore people’s lives and livelihoods. While property damage can take on many forms, it’s important to homeowners is that their lives are return to normal, and that they get their property back, as fast as possible.

Of course, when property can be returned depends on the type and severity of the damage. Not every item, like those burnt or melted in fire losses, can be restored, but a great number of items that would have typically been determined to be unsalvageable in the past can now be quickly restored and returned to their rightful owner with SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle’s Ultrasonic Cleaning Services.

Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaning for Contents Restoration

The benefits of restoring property with SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle’s Ultrasonic Cleaning Services:

For Property Owners: Property is restored and returned quickly, whereas traditional cleaning methods can take weeks and cause additional property damage. Most people are happy simply getting their property back, especially if it means getting their lives back to normal as fast as possible and even more so if the items have sentimental value.
For Insurance Companies: The cost of restoring an item versus reimbursing the owner for the item’s full value is dramatically diminished.

Types of Contents Restoration

The damage that occurs to property during fires, floods, and other disasters is often much more severe than it first appears. Fire is destructive and an item that is physically burned or melted cannot be restored. However, property that has been engulfed in smoke, covered in soot, stained or discolored by water or contaminated by chemicals or molds can usually be restored to functional (or even good-as-new) condition with SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle’s Ultrasonic Cleaning Services.

How Common Damage Occurs

Damage to property and personal possessions can occur in many different ways. While damage as described above is common, fires are particularly troublesome as they can often result in multiple forms of damage. For example:

During A Fire:

Fires can produce vast amounts of smoke that leave soot deposits on property. Depending on what has burned and the temperature of the fire, the soot produced by the fire may not only be mixed with a variety of chemicals and toxins. Additionally, physical properties of the soot can range from a fine powder to a thick sludge. Furthermore, because the particulate matter that makes up soot (and the chemical residue) is microscopic, it can not only penetrate deep into tiny crevices on the surface of an item, but it can also “sink” deep into the item itself. This is especially true of electronics which can actually attract soot and dirt because they can generate magnetic fields or become charged with static electricity.

Immediately After A Fire:

The water that was used to extinguish the flames can discolor the surfaces of many types of items. Additionally, water can cause severe physical damage since the materials from which many items are made can actually absorb surprising amounts of water.

Long After A Fire:

Many types of materials and even the items themselves can retain significant levels of moisture. Moisture absorbed by an item that has not been properly dried, or that remains on or near the surface, may quickly become a breeding ground for molds and bacteria or other potentially hazardous residues.

Whether it is from a fire, mold, water, dust or even nicotine, we will do our best to clean your belonging. Below are just a few examples of what can be cleaned with Ultrasonic Cleaning.

Window Blinds
Electronics
Fans (electric)
Glassware
China, Crystal

SERVPRO’s Advanced Technology: Hydroxyl Generator

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle uses advanced technology to your fire, water, mold, or any other damage to get your home back to normal quickly.

Deodorization & Air Purifier

The Hydroxyl Generator is one of the most scientifically-advanced pieces of equipment we use to combat malodors and leave a property deodorized following biohazard, fire or water damage events. These generators have been successfully tested on fires and other restoration and bio jobs, including protein fires, floods, human remains situations, skunk odors, pet urine odors, musty odors and many other types of odors.

How it Works:

UVA rays are emitted from the titanium dioxide photocatalytic lamps, where they then pass through a permanent anatase coated super reactor screen, forming electron hole pairs that react with water and oxygen in the air to form free electrons and hydroxyl radicals that then decompose and eliminate organic and inorganic gases and air pollutants.

To learn more about our Advanced Technology call (302) 392-6000.

Why Choose SERVPRO of Bear / New Castle?

Even with thorough cleaning, air fresheners, and flourishing plants, some odors require knowledge and equipment, you simply don’t have. The highly trained professionals at SERVPRO of Bear / New Castle are knowledgeable in this area; SERVPRO teaches IICRC technical classes in the proper removal of odors.

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle's Advanced Technology: Air Scrubbers

3/6/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores during mold remediation.

What Are Air Scrubbers?

An air scrubber is a portable filtration system that removes particles, gasses, or chemicals from the air within a given area. These machines draw in air from the surrounding environment and pass it through a series of filters to remove contaminants. The size and complexity of an air scrubber system will depend on the size of the space being serviced, as well as the range, type, and size of contaminants that must be removed from the area.

Why Should I Use an Air Scrubber?

Air scrubbers are especially important on restoration jobs where airborne contaminants are present or will be created/disturbed during the restoration process, such as mold, dust, asbestos, lead, chemical fumes, etc. These hazardous particles can settle on carpet, upholstery, and furnishings, or be drawn into the HVAC system and contaminate other parts of a building.

If these contaminants are not removed, they will have a negative effect on the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the worksite. While naturally occurring particles—such as human skin cells, animal hair, and dirt—are nearly always present, toxic gases released by sewage-borne bacteria and mold spores can cause adverse human health effects when inhaled. In short, these contaminants can compromise the quality of the entire restoration job.

Air scrubbers help protect the health of workers and building occupants by providing a clean and healthy environment. They also help protect contractors from costly liability claims resulting from damage caused by hazardous airborne materials.

What is IICRC and Why Does it Matter in New Castle, DE?

2/25/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle is proud to be an IICRC certified firm. Call us today at 302-392-6000!

If you’re a homeowner and a hired a restoration company like SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle, chances are you haven’t heard of IICRC even though it has played a very important role in making sure your home loss was taken care of properly.

IICRC, the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, is a global non-profit organization that offers certifications and has established the industry standards in the procedures for water, mold, fire, biohazard losses. It also sets the standard for ethics, communication, and proficiency within the industry. Did you know? Many insurance companies require technicians working on insurance losses to hold certifications with IICRC.

While our technicians are educated with multiple platforms of learning, the IICRC certifications hold a high importance in their training. Here are some of the restoration certifications that our technicians are proud to hold:

Water Damage Restoration

Teaches the technician about overall water damage, including its effects and drying techniques for affected structures. Basically, it’s Water Damage 101.

Trauma and Crime Scene

Provides technicians with guidance and understanding of particular types of situations found in biohazard losses “regardless of surface, item, or location.” They are taught to investigate and inspect human blood and other possible material contamination so they can assess and develop a plan to properly clean the scene and dispose of biohazardous material.

Odor Control

Teaches the technicians about odor and olfaction (the capacity to smell), source for odor, theory of odor control, how to detect it, and what type of equipment and/or solutions to use to remediate. They also learn how to “address odors caused by biological sources such as decomposition, urine contamination, mold, combustion sources such as fire and smoke damage, and chemical sources such as fuel oil spills or volatile organic chemicals.”

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration

With this certification our technicians are informed of the practices and science around fire and smoke damage that includes “scoping, mitigation, cleaning, deodorization, subrogation, spoliation, and documentation of residential and commercial fire and smoke damaged structures and contents”.

Commercial Drying Specialist

Residential waters can be quite different than commercial water losses, and our crews are knowledgeable in how to inspect and evaluate larger scale losses as well as the best method for effective and efficient drying. This includes “commercial, industrial, institutional, and complex residential water-damaged structures, systems, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment”.

Building Moisture Inspection

Technicians are taught to think critically while assessing materials for potential moisture and how to conduct a proper inspection. Information such as “[t]he principles of psychrometry, basic thermodynamics, using inspection equipment, [...] collecting and interpreting data, as well as documenting the findings in a moisture inspection report” are covered as well.

Applied Structural Drying

More advanced than Water Damage Restoration, technicians are equipped with further methods and techniques to effectively dry both structure and contents.

Applied Microbial Remediation

Technicians are instructed on techniques for remediating mold and sewage losses. Here at SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle we use antimicrobial solutions specifically designed by in our house chemist at headquarters.

Equipped with the necessary safety apparatus, we can help transform unhealthy environments back into clean, safe places.

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle's number one concern is safety: the safety of our clients and the safety of our employees.

To make sure the job is done right, employees need to take proper precautions when working in specific situations. Each job comes with its own safety concerns. For example, flood waters can come with contaminants from things like sewage; mold remediation jobs come with possible irritants to people’s eyes, skin and lungs; fire damage can come with worries like smoke inhalation and possible falling debris; and biohazard incidents can come with exposure to dangerous chemicals and bodily fluids.

SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle teams are given the proper training and personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure they are prepared to safely handle each one of those incidents and a wide range of others. They follow specific guidelines laid out by our company and by the National Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Some of that PPE includes the following:

Tyvek Suits and Booties: which are made of a strong, but lightweight material that can protect a person from contaminants in the air. These suits cover a person from head to toe (except the face).

Dust Masks: which are lightweight masks worn around the nose and mouth to keep out less serious contaminants like typical, household dust.

Full Face Masks: which are more heavy-duty, plastic masks, seal off the entire face and include respirators. These are used in more dangerous conditions. The respirators filter out any harmful airborne pathogens and mold spores.

Gloves: different kinds of gloves are used depending on the situation. Nitrile gloves are used to protect from certain contaminants like bodily fluids. Whereas stronger rubber gloves are used to protect when handling sharp or rough objects.

Goggles: are used to protect the eyes in dangerous conditions.

Hard Hats: are used to protect employees in situations where there is a risk of building collapse or falling debris.

By ensuring their own safety in the field, our team members are better able to ensure your safety and the safety of your home or business.

If you experience an incident that requires restoration work, you can count on SERVPRO of Bear/New Castle to get the job done in the SAFEST and most efficient way. Call us any time at (302) 392-6000.
