Due to recent extreme weather, NJ Businesses and Households are now facing mold issues which require professional NJ mold remediation and removal services.

While Hurricane Irene and other recent storms are long gone, their damaging effects are still being felt my many local homes and businesses. While most of the flooding has been cleaned up, now people are faced with a new disaster threatening homes and businesses in NJ – mold damage.

Following any storm, most people begin cleanup immediately. This usually means pumping out the water and attempting to dry up all affected areas and belongings. If done properly, this can prevent mold damage in the home. However, any bit of moisture left can be a breeding ground for this dangerous organism. If not found soon enough, mold can spread quickly and cause widespread mold damage which requires the help of a professional, certified in NJ mold remediation services.

Statewide Solutions has been recently certified in mold remediation by NORMI, the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors and is now helping local homes and businesses with NJ mold remediation services due to the recent storms. Since mold growth may not be obvious at first, many people didn’t even realize they had a problem until it was too late. Mold damage was occurring on hidden surfaces such as the backside of drywall, wallpaper, paneling, ceiling tiles and the underside of carpets and padding.

The Importance of Proper NJ Mold Remediation

“Proper mold damage cleanup is extremely important in order to mitigate the damage caused by mold” said Dave Regen, President of Statewide Solutions NJ. “If precise mold removal procedures are not followed, it can reoccur. Certified NJ mold remediation services include mold testing consisting of air, tape or swab sampling. This helps identify the hidden source of mold, allergens, indoor pollutants and the extent of any existing water or moisture damage problems. Once these procedures are complete, the mold remediation company can begin the mold damage removal process.”

“In all cases, the underlying cause of any moisture or water damage must be corrected prior to any mold damage removal or cleanup” said Dave of Statewide Solutions NJ. “This is the foundation of success for any NJ mold remediation project”

Tips to Prevent Water and Mold Damage from Burst Pipes

By statewidenj1 · Comments (3)

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Now that winter is upon us, it is very important to take preventive measures against frozen pipes which can cause costly water and mold damage to your home or business. Pipes commonly at risk of freezing are those in unheated areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, attics, garages or kitchen cabinets.

As water freezes, it expands and the pressure can cause the pipe to crack or burst. In addition to the damage to your plumbing system, you will also be faced with a flood in your home or business resulting in water and mold damage. If not properly remediated, water damage can easily cause mold infestation which is a health hazard.

Below are some tips to help keep pipes from freezing in the cold winter months and reduce the risk of water and mold damage:

A good way to prevent pipes from freezing is by not lowering your thermostat at night; keep the temperature the same day and night in extreme cold weather. If there is a water supply line in your garage, always keep the doors closed. Open kitchen and bathroom cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around the plumbing. When weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet to prevent freezing, especially if the pipe is exposed.

If you suspect a frozen pipe, keep the faucet open. Once you locate the frozen pipe, apply heat by using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe or a hair dryer. Always make sure that that the heating pad or hair dryer does not come in contact with water. Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. As the pipe is treated and the water begins to melt, water will begin to flow through the frozen area. Always check all faucets in your home to make sure the water is running, because if it is not, you might have additional frozen pipes. If one freezes, others might also freeze.

If you are traveling during the winter months for an extended period of time, one of the first things to do is make sure your heat is set to 55 degrees. Always have a neighbor check on your house to make sure the furnace is working and the heat remains at 55 degrees because if it goes below freezing, you run the risk of a broken pipe.

If you do experience a broken pipe, you must act quickly to prevent water and mold damage to your home or business. The first thing you must do is shut off the water immediately. Know where the water shut off valve is located and make sure all members of the household are aware of its location and how to shut it off.

If you experience water and mold damage from a burst pipe, contact a local reputable water damage restoration company like Statewide Solutions NJ right away. They can advise you on the proper steps to take to clean up and restore your home or business.
