Effective SERVPRO® Restoration Services for Wilmington Emergencies

12/21/2023 (Permalink)

Wilmington problems with water, mold, fire storms or hurricanes? SERVPRO® has all the needed equipment and training to restore your home!

We have been serving the area for decades, and have made considerable strides in attracting the right talent and acquiring the best equipment and products to ensure that the restoration services we offer in Wilmington are top of the line. We know how quickly these disasters can occur, which makes our team's fast response time even more critical. We want to be a one-stop shop for restoration and recovery, and that is why apart from water, fire, storm, and mold loss incidents our SERVPRO® team also addresses biohazard cleanup, air duct service, and even full-scale reconstruction. 

Fire Damage 

Every minute counts once fire damage in Wilmington homes is present, and the most critical point for restoration and recovery happens in the window of opportunity after extinguishment. The longer these disasters sit unattended, the more damaging they can become. Symptoms like soot and smoke particles continue to spread unabated without the deployment of effective mitigation and cleaning strategies that arrive with our SERVPRO® professionals. 

Experience and education count when you are already under a strict timeline to recover a fire-damaged Wilmington home or business. We encourage our entire loss team to pursue more than the base certifications like Fire & Smoke Restoration (FSRT) through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) and also add in secondary focuses like Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning (UFT), Carpet Cleaning (CCT), Water Restoration (WRT), and Odor Control (OCT.)

We have unique practices that make us the leading recovery specialists in the industry regarding present fire damage in Wilmington properties. We have advanced tools for deodorization, including hydroxyl generators and air scrubbers with charcoal. To help clean surfaces before they become irreparably damaged, we utilize soda blasting approaches that can revitalize the look and function of wood, bricks, glass, ceramic, and natural stone. 

Water Damage 

Much of the success that our Wilmington team has had in water loss recovery stems from our union of experienced technicians determined to educate continually and a broad inventory created from the best restoration and mitigation machines and tools in the industry. This division of our team has more experience than any of the others, boasting more than 75 years of expertise in the industry in these niches. To ensure that our staff can overcome any damage they encounter, they get accredited through the IICRC in multiple areas, including: 

-    Water Restoration (WRT)

-    Applied Structural Drying (ASD)

-    Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT)

-    Biohazard Cleaning

-    Air Duct Cleaning 

From leaking pipes and fixtures to full appliance failure that results in rapidly spreading water damage in Wilmington homes, our SERVPRO® team knows that no two disasters are the same. While we might utilize many of similar tools and machines in recovering from these emergencies, each property needs a tailored and site-specific response based on the severity of the damage. We can develop this plan and help our customers to understand it. 

With advanced detection tools, our professionals can monitor the progress of essential mitigation and restoration services to come for Wilmington properties. These devices can identify the ideal placement for air movers and desiccant or low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers. 

Storm Damage 

Hurricanes are more of a common threat to our Greater Wilmington area than many of the residents here would often like to admit. Even our professionals have seen the destructive hand of these powerful storm systems on our properties, so we are even more focused than ever to help our customers and clients through that traumatic experience. We have a multi-faceted response explicitly designed for the needs and obstacles within the damaged building.

Storm damage can quickly compromise structural integrity and present vulnerabilities to Wilmington properties. We have a team of licensed contractors that can help with emergency board-up and tarping – but later also become instrumental in the full-scale reconstruction these same homes and businesses require. The faster penetration points can get addressed in the house, the less damaging and devastating flooding becomes. 

Hurricane Florence was a destructive force to our area in recent years, but our SERVPRO® team was there to help address each level of storm damage in Wilmington homes and businesses. Many residential and commercial properties required complete reconstruction, while some needed our professionals to work to remove floodwater, and clean, and disinfect the building. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. This motto is not just a slogan, but an assurance that whenever disasters like Florence strike again, we are ready to help you quickly.

Mold Remediation

We know that you cannot account for the discovery of mold damage in Wilmington properties – especially your business. To avoid costly relocation and displacement, you can trust in the experience and fast response of our remediation specialists on our SERVPRO® team. Each of these individuals holds multiple certifications through the IICRC: WRT, ASD, and AMRT. We pursue additional endorsements and accreditations for this department through the National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors (NORMI) as well. 

With the threat that active colonization can be to structural elements as well as the health of those exposed to the organism, it is vital to get this situation under control quickly. Our dedicated professionals can mobilize quickly to Wilmington homes and businesses to set up practical containment barriers with plastic sheeting and zipper-lock temporary walls. This quarantine can prevent your company from shutting down while remediation work is completed and keeps you from making a profit through an already traumatic time. 

With our colony removal strategies, we lean heavily on practices like soda blasting because of their long-term results and the annihilation of growth traces and spores within a hosting material. We also offer a full-service reconstruction and build-back team for damaged Wilmington properties to quickly make mold losses "Like it never even happened." 

We are an experienced and professional team of restoration experts that can help our customers through every damaging experience their properties endure. You can reach our IICRC-Certified SERVPRO® of New Hanover specialists 24/7 by calling (910) 762-8180.
