To avoid cross-contamination during mold damage remediation in Newark, SERVPRO technicians put up plastic barriers. The technician shown is removing the damaged wall down to the plywood. It is commonplace for technicians to run an air scrubber that captures airborne mold spores.

SERVPRO's Carpet Cleaning Services

Did you rent a machine the last time your carpeting needed cleaning?  The machines that are available at the big box stores do not often have adequate water extraction, leaving wet debris and damaging your carpets.

Newark Tech Is Not on the Moon

Our team of skilled technicians often don PPE personal protective equipment to perform decontamination treatments at homes in Newark and the surrounding areas.

This cat was a kitten that came to us after a fire destroyed her home.  She was weeks old.  Figaro is now almost seven! She looks scared in the picture but that is only because she is getting her check up at the doctors.

One of our technicians is reaching into this duct system to do a final check on our cleaning. A small fire in this home caused soot to build up in the duct system that runs throughout the home.

Mold in Dark & Damp Places

Here is a photo of a large amount of mold growth in a basement. What has made this basement so vulnerable to mold growth is the dark damp environment. The drywall has no light to dry out in which causes the opportunity for mold.

During a summer windy storm a tree in the yard fell on a home.  The tree penetrated the roof and went into the bedroom. Luckily no one was in the bedroom during the night when the damage occurred.

Closet Mold

This closet had flooded months before and not taken care of properly. Since then, the carpet has soaked up the moisture and caused mold growth in the corners of the closet. Sometimes areas like these go long periods of time without being detected.

New Desiccant

We put our new desiccant to work as soon as possible after this major storm. We had our new desiccant, a generator, and a lot of fans. It turned out to be quite the operation!

Basements and damp areas in your house are the perfect places for mold growth. Water damaged areas are also likely to cause the growth of mold and need to be cleaned and dried thoroughly to reduce the risk.
