More FAQs- What causes mould in my home?
- What are some safety concerns for smoke or fire damage at our business?
- How do you ensure that all affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected?
Excess moisture caused by leaks or flooding in your home — especially in typically damp environments like your kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms — creates the perfect breeding ground for mould or mildew. To control and reduce the risk for mould growth in these areas, you must properly maintain your plumbing system and monitor appliances that use large quantities of water, such as dish washers and washing machines. Small amounts of indoor mould are unavoidable and usually harmless. In damp environments, however, mould spores can more easily reproduce and cause more serious and difficult to remove mould problems.
Occupant and worker safety is ServiceMaster Restore’s top priority. During the initial inspection, safety hazards are identified and addressed, including debris removal, air quality, electrical issues, slip and trip hazards, etc. Burnt equipment and electrical devices are separated out for disposal, and questionable electrical equipment or devices are unplugged and tagged for evaluation of safe operation. Electrical power may have to be turned off in the entire facility until evaluation by a licensed electrician is completed.
At ServiceMaster Restore, we understand the importance of proper cleanup and disinfection when it comes to biohazardous materials and pathogens. That is why our highly trained technicians use industry expertise, specialized products and equipment to properly remove biological waste.

You can trust us to leave your commercial business safe and free from any potential health hazards.
