Local Church Relies on SERVPRO of The Windsors!

6/14/2022 (Permalink)

The church was left clean and orderly, ready for repairs!

After suffering from water intrusion stemming from roof damage, a local church in East Hartford called us in to perform the water mitigation and subsequent repair work. Our mitigation scope consisted first of asbestos testing, to ensure the building materials were safe to remove. Next, the crew moved on to the demolition. The demo consisted of the removal of the carpeting, drywall wall and ceiling, and insulation.  These materials were removed for a few reasons. Carpeting often becomes delaminated while water gets trapped in insulation and requires removal to ensure proper drying and prevent secondary damage.  After demo, our crew cleaned and disinfected all the affected areas before setting up drying equipment to dry out the framing and subfloor. After the materials achieved the drying goals, our crew removed the equipment, completing the job. The church was left dry, clean, and ready to move right into repairs. Check back on the blog to see the repairs once we complete the repair work!  

Local Hotel Trusts SERVPRO of The Windsors

6/1/2021 (Permalink)

Like it never even happened!

Experiencing a water damage loss is trying at any time, experiencing water damage after wrapping up extensive renovations, is agonizing.  A local hotel experienced that very fate recently. Having just finished renovations the hotel was ready to reopen its door and welcome their customers and community. However, soon after reopening, there was a pipe break! The damage created was extensive, over three inches of water accumulated in over a dozen rooms.  

The manager reached out immediately for emergency services. Working after hours our crew responded to first extract the water throughout the building.  We used two trucks mounts and a portable unit to extract as quickly as possible.  After all the water was removed our team cleaned and disinfected the surface areas.  Once the area was free of water and germs our team set up drying equipment.  The drying equipment will work to remove the moisture both in the air and from the building materials. 

The benefit of the immediate response is substantial. Since the water was removed so quickly and followed by an aggressive dry out, the property owners will be able to minimize the amount of demolition and subsequent repairs.

If you experience a similar situation we can help. As always, we are standing by, ready to respond to your emergencies. If you need us, please reach out at any time.

Local Firefighter House Calls in SERVPRO of The Windsors for Cleaning Services.

5/28/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of The Windsors is honored to help and support our local heroes!

While making improvements to the sleeping quarters at a local firehouse, insulation was mistakenly released from the ceiling.  The fallen insulation created quite the mess by covering the space with minuscule particles. It is not uncommon for older insulation materials to contain vermiculate and fiberglass. Realizing the potential health risks and risk of contamination SERVPRO of The Windsors was called in to clean the space. Due to the minuteness of the particles, we chose the hepa vacuuming method. Hepa-vacuuming is a thorough cleaning process we implore for mold remediation and soot remediation and can capture minuscule particles.  The vacuuming is then followed up with washing and then disinfecting of all areas. The end result is a thoroughly cleaned and safe habitable space that allows our local heroes to keep their focus on their important work. Thank you for trusting SERVPRO of The Windsors.

The area was left clean and accessible while still allowing the drying process to effectively take place.

Our reputation precedes us, both locally and nationally. When a local bank in Hartford county had a pipe break, they knew they needed a professional to remediate properly.  Taking cue from a close confidant the bank manager contacted SERVPRO of The Windsors. With our nationally recognized name and exemplary local reputation as the number one remediation company the bank manager knew she could count on us.

Within two hours of the call, our crew was onsite with services underway. Technicians began by extracting water and moving out contents. The onsite supervisor proficiently coordinated the team of 6. Finishing up with cleaning and the placement of drying equipment our crew was able to get the bank to safe conditions in just a few hours’ time. The holiday season coupled with banks allowing in-person visits by appointment only makes the need to prevent business disruption more important than ever. With the prompt and heavy response, for this local business, it was “Like it never even happened.”

Protect your business and employees with cleaning, sanitization, and disinfecting by the pros!

It’s the call all businesses are now dreading, an employee has coronavirus. So, when a local business had an employee’s spouse test positive for Coronavirus, action had to be taken.  After learning of the exposure to the employee and subsequently the entire staff, a local manufacturer called SERVPRO of the Windsors to perform cleaning, sanitization, and disinfection services.

First, our team geared up donning heavy PPE including respirators, full body coveralls, goggles, and gloves. Following the wardrobe change our crew cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected over 12,000 sq ft! As part of the cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting, workers cleaned surfaces with special attention paid to frequently touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, computers, phones, and desks.

Our crew’s final task was to place the Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned decal on the door. Placing the Certified: SERVPRO Clean sticker shows the business had professional cleaning services, giving peace of mind to the staff and visitors.

Kudos to this business for their prompt and vigilant action!

SERVPRO Remediates Realty Office

11/8/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of The Windsors is proud to service our commercial customers.

A local realtor’s office recently suffered from water damage. The source of the damage was a broken pipe. The pipe was overhead and literally rained on to the company’s main office.  Once the pipe broke the staff promptly shut off the water. Though the customer acted quickly there was a substantial amount of water released. 

Our team responded immediately, working quickly to extract the water. After the extraction, our team sanitized, cleaned, and set up drying equipment. The prompt response time made it possible to salvage the carpet.   After a few short days with the equipment in place the carpet and other building materials reached the drying goals.  Our team removed the equipment and got out of the hairs of this business so they can get back to focusing on their customers.

SERVPRO of The Windsors Tackles Hemp Factory

10/28/2019 (Permalink)

Hemp has a potent odor, SERVPRO of The Windsors assists with deodorization.

We love new challenges and jump at opportunities to venture into unchartered waters, so when we received a call for deodorization of a hemp factory we thought, that’s a first! We then promptly got to work. We coordinated our team, put on our thinking caps, and crafted a plan of attack!

The issue our customer was facing was the hemp odor being so strong it permeated other buildings in the area, which in turn was leaving staff with headaches and general feelings of un-wellness.

There were a few different options we considered each with its own benefits, we proposed a few different options to our client. We had to be honest, there were no guarantees, there would be a level of trial and error.

Ultimately, we decided to set up containment and set up air filtration equipment on a large scale.  The containment around the large garage doors limited the outflow of the malodor.  Then we set up numerous commercial size air scrubbers. Air scrubbers pull air from the environment and passing it through a combination of filters removes the contaminants.  We are changing the filters out as needed and keeping an eye on the space at the time being.

We are pleased to inform you our methods are effective! Thanks to our industry knowledge we were able to use our past experiences to tacks a new issue. SERVPRO of The Windsors are figure-it-outters!

SERVPRO of The Windsors Greenmobile parked in front of the East Windsor Police Department

When someone mentions a hero the first thing that comes to the mind of most is someone who swoops in to save the day! Everyone has their own definition of a hero. To some a hero is someone they admire for their noble qualities, outstanding achievements, and their courage. A hero can be someone you look up to and aspire to be like, heroes can even possess superhuman qualities. In all communities, the police departments are an example of a group of heroes we rely on.  They keep us safe and respond to our emergencies, but who helps them in an emergency?

Well when the East Windsor Police Department was in distress due to a water loss caused by a broken pipe, they called yours truly to save the day! That’s right, the guys in green responded to a loss for the boys in blue. Following the EWPD pipe break, the department needed water remediation. Our crew responded quickly by performing water extraction, removing wet materials,  & placing drying equipment. Only a couple of short days later the EWPD looked “Like it never even happened.” Thanks to the guys in green! SERVPRO of The Windsors is always here to help!
