Mold Remediation Done Right

2/2/2022 (Permalink)

Mold and Rental Damage 

If you’ve discovered mold damage in your home, you may be wondering if your rental insurance policy will cover the damage and remediation.

The answer? It depends on both your policy and the type of damage.

Renters Insurance 101

Renters insurance policies typically cover the personal property of the renter, while the landlord’s insurance covers the structure.

Most policies include coverage for damages caused by an emergency situation, such as fire or flood, and any damage resulting from those situations.

They may also cover damages caused by accident or nature up to the point when the resident has had reasonable time to discover and fix the problem. It's important to note that most insurance policies will not cover damages resulting from neglect.

What Mold Damages May Be Covered

Your rental insurance may have provisions for mold removal and remediation if the mold growth is caused by an emergency situation. This water damage is caused by firefighting efforts, natural disasters, or an accidental pipe break. Keep in mind that in many cases, they may also cover the costs for hiring a mold remediation professional like SERVPRO of Freeport, Roosevelt.

What Renters Are Responsible For

In most cases, renters are responsible for reporting any mold removal needs as soon as they realize there’s a problem. Mold damage to a renter's personal property also falls to them, while damage to the actual property may be covered by the landlord’s policy.

Renters insurance may require the renter to do everything they reasonably can in order to report and remedy the mold problem. The renter is also responsible for having insurance and knowing what the policy contains.

Many times, a rental insurance policy will cover damage up to the point where the renter could have prevented it from getting any worse. This means that as soon as damage is found, appropriate steps should be taken to stop the infestation and prevent further spread. In some cases, your policy may even cover the cost of professional cleaning.

Contact Us For All Mold Remediation Needs

Give us a call at (516) 774-2200 or e-mail office@SERVPROfreeportroosevelt.com for immediate assistance for any mold related issue for your commercial or residential properties.

Mold...We Are The Experts

12/4/2021 (Permalink)

There is never a good time for discovering mold in your home. It can fill homeowners with dread as they wonder where they should begin and how much is it going to cost? The good news? Mold removal isn’t as complicated as you might think. Even better? By finding the right mold professional, you can quickly resolve your issue with an expert at a reasonable price.

Below, please find SERVPRO of Freeport, Roosevelt's tips for finding the perfect technician to get the job done right without sacrificing quality or price.

Do I need to test for mold?

Answer:  In Most Cases, NO!

If you can spot mold on your surfaces, there is no reason to waste money testing the areas. The solution is just to remove the growth before more spread occurs. There is no reason to test for different types of mold either. Simply put, no mold should be in your home.

Other "mold professionals" may insist that you

If a so-called mold professional insists that you need to spend hundreds of dollars on pre-testing when mold is already visible, our advice is to be very wary because it’s often a waste of money.

The only time we recommend pre-testing when there is visible mold is when you need “hard proof”. For example, if you are buying a house that has some mold, it’s probably a good idea to get it tested/confirmed so you can negotiate a lower selling-price.

What should I expect?

SERVPRO professionals are licensed and skilled technicians, just like a plumber or electrician. The quality of work and depth of experience is so much more than your regular handyman.

Our project manager and technicians will be able to clearly detail the scope and remediation process for getting rid of the mold. Be wary of any other mold removal company that does not clearly tell you the scope of your mold issues and solutions. Trying to over-complicate your issue is a way of scaring a customer into hiring them. Here at SERVPRO of Freeport, Roosevelt, we are dedicated to providing easy, comprehensive service that lets you know what to expect and what's happening at all times.

On the Job

When a SERVPRO technician is in your home, here's what you can expect from our professional mold removal experts.

• Proper safety gear: a high quality, high filtration face mask and vinyl or neoprene gloves. Often times, our technicians also don a full protective suit when using harsh chemicals and/or for large-scale mold remediation projects.
• SERVPRO professionals seal off the work area. Our technicians often using plastic sheeting, so as to contain mold spores from spreading throughout the home.
• Use of official SERVPRO professional equipment such as air scrubbers, vacuums, & commercial-strength dehumidifiers.  
• After mold is physically removed from its source, the air should be cleaned of airborne mold spores using HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air scrubbers and air exchange.
• SERVPRO professionals usually discard moldy porous building materials such as drywall, insulation and baseboards. These materials are relatively inexpensive to replace and difficult to restore to their previous uncontaminated condition.
• SERVPRO technicians will use professional grade antimicrobial chemical to clean any remaining mold and mold stains.

SERVPRO of Freeport, Roosevelt is here for all of your mold remediation/restoration needs. Remember, hiring a mold professional doesn’t have to be as complicated as you might think.

Winter Weather Safety Tips

1/29/2021 (Permalink)

Worried about the cold weather? Here are some safety tips to protect you and your loved ones.

The weather on Long Island has taken a turn for the worst, with the coldest temperatures we have seen all winter. In order to protect yourself, there are safety tips that we recommend. Why? Winter storms create a higher risk of car accidents, hypothermia, frostbite, carbon monoxide poisoning, and heart attacks from overexertion. Winter storms including blizzards can bring extreme cold, freezing rain, snow, ice and high winds.

We at SERVPRO of Freeport, Roosevelt want to share our best tips to prepare Long Island residents for the days ahead.

What are the risks of a Winter Storm?

• Last a few hours or several days.
• Cut off heat, power and communication services.
• Put older adults, children and sick individuals at greater risk.

Winter Weather Tips

• Stay off roads if at all possible. If trapped in your car, then stay inside.
• Limit your time outside. If you need to go outside, then wear layers of warm clothing. Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia.
  • Be sure to have several clean masks to use in case your mask becomes wet or damp from snow. Cloth masks should not be worn when they become damp or wet. Be sure to wash your mask regularly.
• Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use generators and grills outdoors and away from windows. Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven.
• Reduce the risk of a heart attack by avoiding overexertion when shoveling snow and walking in the snow.
  • Masks may make it difficult to breathe, especially for those who engage in high intensity activities, like shoveling. If you are unable to wear a mask, maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and those who are not part of your household.
• Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia and begin treatment right away.

We recommend everyone who is able to stay inside, do so. Be sure to stock up on needed supplies like food, medication, batteries, and other essentials. If you experience any type of emergency that needs immediate attention, SERVPRO of Roosevelt, Freeport is here to help.

Our office will be open despite any bad weather. Give us a call for immediate assistance.
