Understanding Mold

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed, or the mold may return
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, on clothes and pets, or air conditioning and heating systems
• Mold spores thrive on moisture
• Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth
• Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent to discourage mold growth

Flooded Kitchen in Concord?

We mitigate water damage 24-hours a day in Cabarrus County.

Ice Dispenser Disaster in Concord?

When my refrigerator ice dispenser supply line burst and flooded my hardwood floors, I needed to act fast. My insurance adjuster told me to call SERVPRO® of North Cabarrus County & China Grove, and I’m glad I did. They extracted the water and set up industrial-grade air movers and blowers to dry the area completely, and their fast response and mitigation saved my beautiful floors!

According to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS), seventy-three percent of losses involving an ice maker were caused by a supply line failure, and ten percent were linked to improper installation of new refrigerators.

Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips from the IBHS:

• Proper installation of the ice maker supply line hose is important to avoiding water damage
• Ensure the valve connection is secure and check for kinks
• Inspect the hose every six months
• If kinks are present replace the hose
• Leave a three-to-four-inch space between the back of the refrigerator and the wall to prevent the hose from crimping
• When pulling the refrigerator out for cleaning or service, avoid getting the hose caught beneath the wheel
• Locate the water shut-off valve and inspect it every six months to make sure the water supply will shut off

SERVPRO® of North Cabarrus County & China Grove has been responding to property damage emergencies in China Grove for years, and customer satisfaction is key to our success! Here is a customer testimonial from our website:

“Several weeks ago, our basement flooded due to all the rain we had. I found SERVPRO online and called them early that morning. Within a few hours, they were on the job, cleaning the water out of the carpet that was there. Jose and Sam were professional, courteous, and very efficient. They helped move the furniture that needed to be moved. Once the water was removed, they treated the carpet for mold and mildew. As a result, there was NO smell lingering from the wet carpet. They made my life a whole lot easier, and I am grateful for the service they provide. Should I need help again with the basement, I will definitely call SERVPRO for help.” Nancy in China Grove

CARBON MONOXIDE: A SILENT KILLER

6/29/2020 (Permalink)

You can’t see or smell carbon monoxide, but at high levels it can kill a person in minutes. Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide, or CO, is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels, like gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, and propane burn incompletely. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning. It is estimated another 20,000 visit the emergency room, and more than 4,000 are hospitalized due to CO poisoning. All people and animals are at risk for CO poisoning, with some groups including unborn babies, infants and people with chronic heart disease, anemia, or respiratory problems being more susceptible to the effects of carbon monoxide.

An excess of CO, leading to CO poisoning, can result from faulty furnaces or other heating appliances, portable generators, water heaters, clothes dryers, or idling cars left running in garages. Taking some basic, precautionary steps can help eliminate the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Protect yourself by reviewing the following tips provided by the United States Fire Administration.

• Have fuel-burning appliances, like oil and gas furnaces, gas or kerosene heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves inspected by a trained professional every year
• Open the damper for proper ventilation before using a fireplace. Never use your own oven or stovetop to heat your home.
• Make sure all fuel-burning equipment is vented to the outside to avoid CO poisoning. Keep the venting for exhaust clear and unblocked.
• If you need to warm a vehicle, remove it from the garage immediately after starting it. Never run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust of a running vehicle is not blocked with snow, ice, or other materials.
• Make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace are clear of snow and other debris.
• Only use barbeque grills outside, away from all doors, windows, vents, and other building openings. Some grills can produce CO gas. Never use grills inside the home or the garage, even if the doors are open.
• Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from all doors, windows, vents, and other building openings to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the home.

SERVPRO of North Cabarrus County & China Grove also wants to make sure you are aware of the symptom of CO poisoning. (source:mayoclinic.org)
