Water Damage from Air Conditioning Equipment: What to look for

7/27/2023 (Permalink)

Lynnwood, WA averages 165 sunny days per year with the hottest month being August. Have you noticed an increase in heat lately? You aren’t alone. Many Lynnwood residents are finding themselves turning to their thermostats more this summer than in the past. Local HVAC companies are reporting record sales and more people are installing AC systems in homes that previously went without.

With hot weather and more complex HVAC systems can come more upkeep and problems for homeowners. Because we live in a region that does not use AC year-round there is a much higher need to service in summer months when equipment is utilized.

Many AC units can cause leaks. Some common types of leaks include the following;

Clogged Air Filters

Dirty air filters can block proper airflow over your unit’s evaporator coils, causing them to get too cold and freeze. The melting ice from frozen evaporator coils can cause more water than your HVAC drain pan can handle and results in overflow. 

Leaky HVAC Drain Pan

Drain pans degrade over time because they are constantly exposed to moisture. They eventually need to be replaced and they can develop cracks and holes that create leaks.

Clogged Drain Line

Over time, and as water flows through your condensation line, mold and mildew can build up. As part of regular maintenance, pour 1-2 cups of bleach or vinegar into your condensation line every few months to keep it clean.

Malfunctioning Condensate Pump

 If your condensate pump is broken or malfunctioning, then water builds up and will eventually leak out of the HVAC unit.

Low Refrigerant Levels

Low refrigerant levels cause leaks in your refrigerant lines and oftentimes cause the system to shut down. Check your levels often.

We offer 24-hour emergency water damage services throughout the greater Lynnwood area. If you suspect a leak from your HVAC equipment call SERVPRO of Lynnwood immediately at 425-774-1148.

Preserving Paper Documents After Flooding

6/28/2022 (Permalink)

Exposure to water could possibly destroy and ruin paper documents. Whether it is a flood, leak, or other moisture, documents can be ruined incredibly fast. Some of these documents have a lot of monetary, sentimental or educational value especially when they are papers that are required to be preserved by law, hold historical value or are proprietary. It is important to move fast and try to dry out and save these documents as soon as possible. SERVPRO of Lynnwood has experience preserving documents for city buildings, law firms, banks, museums and educational facilities. There are 4 common ways to save paper documents. Each method has its own advantages. The types of drying are as follows.

1. Vacuum Freeze-Drying: during this process papers are put into an airtight chamber and negative vacuum pressure is generated. This rapidly freezes them and puts them into a dry state.
2. Desiccant Air Drying: Papers are placed on racks and shelves in a room with a dehumidifier. The paper is continuously dried, and this process takes around 7 days.
3. Cleaning and Sterilization: This process is used when there is dirt, fungi, or grime on the paper. They are wiped with sponges and scrub pads while avoiding the use of liquid solutions. After that a HEPA vacuum system may be used to disinfect and sterilize.
4. Digital Imaging: This process is used before the flood. Take pictures/Scan in the document and save them to the computer or the cloud

With these methods saving paper is a strong possibility, but sometimes it is not always possible to save these documents, thinking ahead and taking precautions before disaster strikes is a great first step. Be mindful of where papers are stored and consider electronic backup as well. If you need help with document drying call SERVPRO of Lynnwood at 425-774-1148.

What is a Foundation Leak?

6/22/2022 (Permalink)

Foundation leaks are very serious to the overall health of your home and undiagnosed can lead to worse issues. There are certain steps you can take to minimize damage, but first let’s understand what a foundation leak is;

A foundation is a single concrete base also known as a slab which your home sits on.

 A slab leak is a term used to describe a leak that has developed in the copper water lines running below the concrete foundation of your home.

Why Does It Leak?

• Corrosion: your pipes are underground, therefore weather changes and influences from soil can cause your pipes to corrode over time
• Installment issues: it's possible that when your house was built there were mistakes or damage that did not create an ideal foundation – this can also be known as a construction defect
• Wear and Tear: pipes expand and contract with the weather and if a pipe freezes it can burst from the pressure. The pipes must also have room to contact and expand so if there is anything that it could come in contact with like concrete or gravel the pipes may rub against them and cause damage.

What Are the Signs?

• The floor has hot spots
• High water bill
• Wet floor or carpet
• Low water pressure
• Standing Water
• Visible mold growth or a musty smell

What Should You Do?

You should always call for professional help with a leak. Sometimes you may need a plumber or leak detection specialist to assess where the issue is coming from. SERVPRO of Lynnwood can provide water mitigation services to address standing water or mold. It is important to get to the root of the problem by hiring a foundation contractor who can stop the leak so further damage doesn’t occur.

How to Proceed with Suspected Mold Growth

6/16/2022 (Permalink)

Musty smell? Discolored drywall? Do you suspect you could have mold? Knowing the warning signs that can indicate microbial growth — like high humidity or neglected water damage — and determining the cause of contamination in your building can be understandably difficult. If you have questions about how to remedy this issue here is some basic information about effects of mold, which is oftentimes a gray area for many.

Mold and mold spores are ever-present entities. Mold spores are anywhere you go, whether you’re indoors or outdoors, and typically they’re not harmful but simply part of our atmosphere. The real issue comes when the mold finds perfect breeding grounds in high-moisture areas and begins to quickly grow out of control.

If you fear mold growth is present in your building or home, close off the area, turn the HVAC system off and call for professional help. Since mold spores are airborne, they can be spread through the airflow coming from your HVAC system. If you’re worried that one area of your property might be contaminated, turning off the building’s airflow keeps spores from spreading outward to other rooms or levels. This quick action also benefits a mold remediation team when they arrive to contain and clean up the mess.

Never let water issues go untreated. Mold development is triggered by moisture, so neglecting any water maintenance problems such as leaky pipes, poorly insulated windows or flood damage can lead to trouble. Contacting restoration specialists is the best move for finding the true source of water leaks and stopping further damage.

Once you acknowledge these common facts about mold, you’ll be more readily prepared to spot any potential warning signs in your building or home. Knowing that you should treat water damage or high humidity immediately makes preventing mold growth a far easier concept.

If you are concerned about air quality we can connect you to an Industrial Hygienist who specialize in mold testing. SERVPRO of Lynnwood works hand in hand with industrial hygienists to perform mold cleanings based off their written scopes and recommendations. Call our team at 425-774-1148 if you have any questions.

How To Maximize Your Home Inspection in Lynnwood, WA

6/7/2022 (Permalink)

Are you a buyer or seller interested in getting a home inspection? A home inspection is always a great idea so you can be in tune with any potential issues that may need to be addressed. Pest control? Drainage Issues? Roof or plumbing problems? We recommend maximizing your inspection by following these steps:

Get A Recommendation. Your real estate professional should be able to recommend a reliable and highly rated inspection company. Make sure your agent knows that you don’t want to cut corners. The cheapest option may not always be the best option.

Be Present for the Inspection. The inspector will most likely want to point some things out to you and explain any notes he or she is making on the report. This is an important step, but it’s only possible if you’re present and engaged for the inspection. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. It is important you understand the functions of the systems in your home and the overall health of the property.

Ask Questions: Ask as many questions as you want, and make sure you feel comfortable with the answers. After all, a house is the biggest investment most people will ever make in their lives and it is important to understand what problems may need to be addressed.

Bring in Additional Specialty Professionals if Needed: If your inspector does not look at the plumbing system or does not offer something specific like mold testing, feel free to bring in a third-party specialist. There is nothing wrong with having someone else come in to look at a specific portion of the home, especially if they are an expert in their field. SERVPRO of Lynnwood is here to provide a professional scope for water, mold or deodorization remediation that may be needed in the home. Call the professionals at 425-774-1148.

Classes, Categories and Steps of Water Damage Restoration

7/13/2021 (Permalink)

Restoring a home or business after water damage comes in many different forms. It can be as simple as vacuuming up water and leaving the room to dry, or as severe as reconstructing an entire flooded home from a pipe break or supply line break.

Moisture creates the perfect atmosphere for bacteria to grow and breed. Certain materials are also at risk when there is water or flood damage and will have to be assessed by a restoration company (such as SERVPRO of Lynnwood) to determine if they must be replaced. Carpets and drywall often develop bacteria that, if not treated immediately, cannot be removed. For mitigation to be effective, determining what class and category of damage caused by water in a business or home is imperative. For a better overview of this, refer to the outline below:

Water Cleanup Classes: 

Class 1: Little moisture has been absorbed by part of a room. 

Class 2: An entire room has been affected and water has absorbed into the walls and carpet. This is often from a supply line break or pipe break.

Class 3: Water in a home or business completely saturated most of the area and walls and may be coming through the ceiling. This is considered flood damage. 

Class 4: Materials in a flooded home such as stone, concrete, and hardwood require specialty drying due to severe damage.

Water Cleanup Categories: 

Category 1: Damage has been caused by a clean water sources such as a broken pipe or a supply line break. For mitigation to be effective, immediate action is required to lessens the risk of further damage caused by water in a business or home. 

Category 2: Flood damage is caused by “grey water” containing contaminates such as detergents or urine from a pipe break or supply line break. 

Category 3: Completely unsanitary water, such as that found in sewers or rivers, has caused the damage in a flooded home, and a bacterium has begun growing. The Process of Restoration Restoring a home or business to livable conditions generally involves water removal, decontaminating the area, and drying. In more severe cases, entire parts of the building may need to be replaced. The process is delicate and should only be handled by a professional restoration company.

For more information on the steps involved, continue reading below: 

Step 1: Inspection – Getting a thorough inspection is the most important factor in mitigation with regards to water cleanup. Professionals will inspect the walls, floors, and ceiling and fit them into a class and category. This will be used to best determine a restoration plan. 

Step 2: Water Removal - Vacuums and pumps are used to remove water in a business or home, and the process must begin as soon as possible to prevent mold. 

Step 3: Drying – After all standing water is removed and absorbent materials are vacuumed, dehumidification and drying begins. This can take several weeks to complete.

Step 4: Cleaning – Personal items such as clothing and drapery need to be sanitized to prevent mold and bacteria growth from water in a home or business.

Step 5: Restoration – When there is severe damage from water in a business or home, materials such as walls, flooring, and broken pipes are replaced. When dealing with flood damage or general water damage it's always best to call a restoration company. They are specially equipped to handling water in a home or business and will be able to act fast to prevent further damage.

Spring Cleaning Tips

4/15/2021 (Permalink)

Let us assist with your spring cleaning needs!

Spring is in full swing here at SERVPRO of Lynnwood! Keeping your home tidy and clean is important for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, a clean home is less likely to face issues like mold damage and other problems that stem from a lack of attention and care. In addition, maintaining the cleanliness of a home will help tremendously in the resale value of the home should you consider selling down the road. From the kitchen to the garage and from the backyard area to the bedrooms and bathrooms spring cleaning should be part for your yearly routine.

Keep in mind the following tips to keep you home spring clean;

• Clean out your refrigerator – dispose of expired items and sanitize each tray and shelf
• Give all of your doormats a good wash
• Clean your upholstery and carpet with professional grade serums—you may consider professional help from SERVPRO to make sure the job is done right
• Scrub baseboards with Mr. Clean Magic Erasers or similar products
• Dust or wipe down ceiling fans and light fixtures
• Scrub down your stove and oven by removing racks and burners

How To Remedy A Leaking Water Heater

3/11/2021 (Permalink)

When faced with a leaking water heater, it can feel like a whirlwind of shock and confusion while you try to figure out how to remedy the problem. Repairing water damage is costly, and you often have only a short amount of time to successfully protect your home and resolve the issue, especially to avoid lingering problems like microbial growth. Here are the first steps you need to take to deal with a failed water heater.

1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply

Shutting off the water as soon as possible ensures that no additional water floods your home. Otherwise, the water will just keep pouring in from the leaking water heater.

2. Call a Professional

If you are concerned about how much water impacted flooring and walls, it will be important to procure an expert’s help with water removal. Your local specialists at SERVPRO of Lynnwood will have the necessary insight and equipment to ensure that all water and hidden moisture from the broken water heater is safely removed. This will diminish the risk of mold or rot from water damage.

3. Dry the Area

While you are waiting for your local water damage restoration professionals to arrive, you want to make sure you have no standing water ruining flooring and furniture, so do your best to dry the area thoroughly. This includes setting up industrial-sized fans, removing furniture and opening windows to encourage air flow.

4. Clean Where Necessary

Thankfully, water from your leaking water heater is classified as “category 1,” meaning it’s clean water. With category 1 floodwaters, there isn’t usually a pressing need to sanitize after a flooding situation. You’ll still want to clean and dry any affected furnishings to prevent microbial or musty smells. 

In short, if your water heater malfunctions, shut off the water, call for backup: 425-774-1148 and do what you can while you wait. By acting quickly and being prepared, you can set yourself up for a fast restoration process. Visit http://www.SERVPROlynnwood.com for more information on water damage.

Holiday Cooking Safety Tips

12/2/2020 (Permalink)

November and December is the time of year where people come together to share meals and quality time together. This year has been quite different than others as gatherings are considerably smaller depending on your local guidelines. As a result, we may be seeing less experienced cooks in the kitchen- which in our industry leads to more kitchen related emergencies. According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) holiday cooking accidents are the leading cause of home fires and injuries.

Let’s review the following tips to help ensure a safe and happy holiday;

• Never leave cooking food unattended. If you must leave while frying, grilling or boiling turn off the appliance.
• Check food regularly to and utilize a timer to remind yourself.
• Keep small children away from hot surfaces.
• Keep flammable items away from stoves, ovens and other heat sources to avoid accidental ignition.
• Do not wear loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking.
• Clean cooking surfaces on a regular build up to prevent grease build-up which can ignite a fire.
• Make sure you have access to a fire extinguisher should an emergency arise unexpectedly.
• Make sure appliances are turned off completely when not in use. Leaving an over or stove on overnight can lead to serious ramifications.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working properly in case of an emergency.

If you experience an emergency in your home call the professionals at SERVPRO of Lynnwood: 425-774-1148 to assist in your time of need!

Influenza and Flu-season is upon us and it is important to take proper precautions to stay as safe and healthy as possible. 

Headlines around the world are focused on the recent virus outbreaks and many countries across the world are feeling the effects of this viral scare. Viruses can cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

Precautionary Measures Include;

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. (Handwashing: Clean Hands Save Lives) Use 70% alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact such as kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.

How to protect Your Home from Hail Damage

2/5/2020 (Permalink)

When rain and freezing temperatures mix we are at risk for hail damage. Hail is large, layered ice particles, often spherical in shape, which are produced by thunderstorms having strong, tilted updrafts. Hailstorms form within a unusually unstable air mass, that is, an air mass in which the temperature falloff with height is much greater than normal.

Ensure roof is in good condition: Inspect your roof to repair any wear and tear as preventative maintenance.

Replace the roof when necessary: If it’s time to replace the roof, make an informed decision and select a replacement shingle by reviewing the latest impact rating results by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety.

Choose steep-sloped roofs: If possible, select a home with a steep-sloped roof, as low-sloped and flat roofs suffer more severe hail damage.

Select impact-rated skylights: Select impact-rated skylights that meet FM Approval Standard.

Select fiber-cement siding: Select fiber-cement siding where aluminum or vinyl siding would otherwise be used because it is more resilient to hail.

Close drapes, blinds, or window shades: Close drapes, blinds, or window shades during a severe hailstorm to keep wind from blowing broken glass inside.

Hail can damage roof coverings and shorten the life of a roof. Hail can also cause damage to siding, windows, fences, lawn furniture, vehicles and other property. Select a reputable, bonded and insured contractors for installation. Members of the National Roof Contractors Association (NRCA) are usually a good choice as they are normally up-to-date on the latest issues and product requirements. Some roofing manufacturers also have training and certification programs for contractors who install their products.

Always rely on a reputable company; especially for emergency services. Call SERVPRO of Lynnwood if you think you have a leaking roof, skylight or window frame due to heavy rain and hail. We are always here to help at 425-774-1148.

Preparing for the 2020 Winter Freeze

2/4/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Lynnwood is here to help educate you on how to prevent or minimize emergency situations. Do not hesitate to prepare your home and business for the upcoming freezing weather in order to prevent water damage. DisasterSafety.org offers ideas on how you can reduce your risk of flooding in and around buildings.

Observe the following tips to become more prepared;

Check your plumbing and appliances. Plumbing supply lines should be inspected on a yearly basis. Refrigerators and freezers should have their hose lines inspected for damage. Washing machines, water heaters, and toilets should also be inspected about every six months. Shower stalls should have the pans inspected bi-annually and grout and tiles should be replaced if cracked or loose. Also make sure to inspect your sump pump.

In your building’s interior, there are many things that can help make sure you stay dry. Check windows, doors, drywall, and air conditioners for leaks. Also check for termite damage and ensure the humidity level in your home is between 30%-50%. It is a good idea, too, to have flood shields or barriers installed in basements depending on the location of your property.

Outside of a building, many things can be done to help ensure a dry building interior. Landscaping is a large part of this. Check the exterior siding and walls to ensure they are properly sealed and that natural, landscaping materials are not up against the building. Make sure the irrigation system is not sending too much water to the foundation of the building. Landscaping is also important in preventing water damage to a building or home. Make sure trees are properly trimmed and vines are not growing on the outside of the building. Have your roof inspected annually to see if any repairs need to be made.

If your home suffers any damage as a result of freezing temperatures call our trusted team at SERVPRO of Lynnwood, 425-774-1148. Acting fast will help minimize the expense and time needed to help ensure a faster recovery.

The Dangers of Snow and Ice Accumulation in Freezing Temperatures

11/20/2019 (Permalink)

Extreme winter weather can cause more problems than just slick roads and slippery sidewalks. When snow and ice accumulate, it can become heavy and cause building damage, water damage or both.

Snow and ice can collapse roofs, especially on older buildings. Older buildings have a greater risk of corrosion, which can weaken its structural integrity and allow for intrusions. Newer buildings that have roofs made of light-weight metal, roofs that are flat, or roofs that do not have a lot of supports are more likely to give-in under the pressure of excess snow and ice.

Snow drifts on a flat roof that have projections, a lower roof, or other equipment can accumulate snow that has drifted with the wind. This can cause vulnerability unless additional strengthening supports are added. You should contact a licensed professional about safely removing excess snow and ice from a roof as these can become risky situations.

To help keep ice of roofs that are sloped, make sure attics are well ventilated so the snow on the roof does not melt and turn to ice. Melted snow and ice can enter a roof via the eaves and flat roofs can experience water damage if ice dams form and prevent water from flowing into drains on a roof.

Improperly sealed windows can be affected by built up snow as well. Ensure that basement drains, window wells, outside walls, and gutters are clear from clogging; 10-12 inches of fresh snow or 3-5 inches of old or packed snow equal 1 inch of water and 5 lbs. of pressure for every square foot.

If you have a snow, ice or water issue call the professionals at SERVPRO of Lynnwood; 425-774-1148.

Water Damage Restoration Process

Water Damage Restoration: A Timely Topic

This year many households in the United States witnessed the devastating impacts of torrential downpours and flooding first hand. Water in business environments today often prompts managers to seek professional water cleanup and mitigation assistance by hiring a restoration company. These water damage specialists handle the messy moisture extraction and drying process efficiently. Many restoration firms even assist companies when water in business settings accompanies widespread flood damage within the immediate vicinity. What should you do when you encounter a flooded home?

To rapidly and efficiently resolve flood damage in residential settings, follow the example of many corporate risk managers and seek water cleanup, drying and mitigation assistance from a full-time restoration company. By taking charge of the water extraction and drying process as soon as possible after a natural disaster, a water damage restoration firm such as SERVPRO of Lynnwood may help minimize overall property losses.

A water damage restoration specialist has received comprehensive training in caring for commercial and residential property in the aftermath of flood damage. Our experts learn the best procedures to follow to perform water cleanup, moisture extraction and drying. Additionally, a restoration company will use professional-grade specialized equipment to expedite water removal from a flooded home or business. This equipment speeds the water extraction process.

An Illustration: Cleanup Involving a Pipe Break: Just consider the plight of people contending with water in their business or home following a flood which resulted in a supply line break. This type of pipe break in the past sometimes allowed water to gush through a neighborhood. (Fortunately, today water company personnel usually detect the rupture quickly and cut off the water flow.) Yet cleaning up the premises during an extended period without access to clean water can prove challenging indeed. Hiring a professional water damage mitigation firm to restore your residence helps enormously in this situation.

If you have sustained a flooded home this year, consider retaining the services of a water damage restoration specialist at SERVPRO of Lynnwood. Visit http://www.SERVPROlynnwood.com for more information on how we can assist you.
