General Deep Cleaning

Sometimes you need a clean that’s above and beyond the normal day-to-day upkeep. SERVPRO® has the experience needed to provide the best cleaning services, no matter the situation. We’ve answered some common questions below about general cleaning, including carpets, upholstery, ceilings, floors, walls, drapes and blinds.

Why is it necessary to get my carpets cleaned?

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. It’s important to vacuum carpets regularly and to have them fully cleaned on a regular basis, before they’re appearing dirty. Dirt builds up in layers, and when carpet looks dirty, you’re actually only seeing the dirt at the tips of the carpet fibers. If you wait until your carpets look dirty to have them cleaned, they may not be able to be restored to original condition.

Why is it necessary to get my upholstery cleaned?

Textiles such as upholstery and draperies act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair and other soils. Regular vacuuming and spot removal are recommended preventative maintenance for these surfaces, which could increase the time between professional cleanings.

Are you supposed to clean your walls regularly?

Yes, it’s important to clean your walls at least once a year. If you have an alternate heating source that exudes different residues, wall cleaning should occur more often. Additionally, if you plan to repaint a room, cleaning the walls is an important first step to help make sure the paint adheres properly.

You can extend the time between cleaning through regular maintenance that includes dusting and cobweb clearing. Washing your kitchen and bathroom walls more often is a good idea, since these areas of the home are used most often.

Residential & Commercial Construction

servpro logo If you are in need of SERVPRO's services, call today!

Can SERVPRO perform the fire/water restoration and construction services?

Yes, SERVPRO of Westminster can fix your fire/water damage and reconstruct any areas extensively damaged. Having just one point of contact through the entire process is best, saving you worry and stress. The continuity of having someone who is familiar with every detail of your project from beginning to end is a huge benefit of working with SERVPRO.

How long will the construction project take?

Each construction project is unique in size and scope, so the length of time to complete varies. We’ll provide you with a timeline and communicate with you regularly on the status of your project. Your participation in making certain decisions about your work also impacts the schedule.

Do my belongings need to be moved away from the premises?

While some belongings may need moved out of the home, this is not always the case. In the event that your personal items need relocated while repairs are made, rest assured that SERVPRO is skilled in pack-out procedures. We’ll care for your items and return them once the space is ready for them again.

Specialty Cleaning

Specialty Cleaning

What is biohazard cleaning?

Biohazard cleaning is necessary after a traumatic event like an injury, death or crime has occurred. These specialized cleaning services were developed to address the likelihood that infectious materials are likely present, and our cleanup teams wear protective equipment for safety. Cleaning and disinfecting is administered in these situations where blood, human or animal remains, and/or other potentially infectious materials may be present and need to be removed.

Why is disinfection important when dealing with a biohazard situation?

Disinfection is important in a biohazard situation because potentially infectious materials may be present. SERVPRO teams have the training and tools to handle these incidents professionally and discretely.

How do you clean when a biohazard is present?

Because traumatic events often involve biological and chemical contaminants, it’s important to know that the restoration process is being handled in compliance with all government, environmental and health regulations. Our professionals do this in the safest way possible. We are trained and prepared both physically and mentally to handle biohazard, trauma and crime scene cleanup and restoration with respect and professionalism.

We’ll work to safely clean up contaminants from surfaces, and remove unsalvageable materials from the area.

Flood and Storm Damage Restoration

Flood and Storm Damage Restoration 

How do you clean up after a storm?

Cleaning up after a storm can be a big job, whether the damage was caused by a tornado, hurricane, flooding, snow or ice storm. The most important part of the cleanup process is safety, so be sure that the area you’re working on has been deemed safe to enter structurally, and that no electrical, dangerous materials, or other hazards are present.

It’s important to wear the right safety gear when cleaning up after a disaster. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this gear includes:

  • Hard hats
  • Goggles
  • N95 masks or a respirator
  • Waterproof boots with a steel toe and insole
  • Earplugs or protective headphones
  • Having two fire extinguishers on site

It’s a good idea to work with others if you can, and get help lifting heavy items. Try to decide which tasks are the most important and tackle those first. Rest when you’re tired.

Don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO if the job seems overwhelming, and especially if water, mold or sewage is involved. During large storm events our Disaster Recovery Team assembles locally with the necessary crews and equipment to handle these extreme cleanup situations that require extra resources.

Psychrometrics

Psychometry is the study of air and its properties. The properties of temperature, humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point are measured to evaluate air conditions in the structure, allowing our technicians to create the proper atmosphere for more efficient drying.

Water can damage materials in two ways. First, materials absorb water through direct contact. Second, materials absorb water through direct contact. Measuring the moisture content of the air is critical to the drying process. 

Restoration professionals must establish an environment favorable for drying. The restoration professionals must also understand how to manipulate temperature and humidity levels to produce optimum drying conditions without causing secondary damages through improper drying processes.

Odor Removal!

SERVPRO of Westminster performs odor removal cleaning services 

Many things can cause a bad odor in a home or business to persist; pets, animal urine, cigarette smoke, spoiled food, garbage, hoarding, sewer backup, the aftermath of a fire, and the poignant odor of a decomposing body.

At SERVPRO of Westminster, we remove or clean the source of the odor. In some cases this means removing the carpet, pad or flooring to reach the source of the odor, particularly when dealing with pet urine. Next we select the best odor removal treatment and process that will produce the best results.

Once effective option is an Ozone treatment, Ozone is effective highly in these situations. As a gas, ozone chemically breaks down the odor-causing molecules wherever air flows, effectively “cleaning” the odor causing bacteria in the air, walls, ceilings, ductwork, carpet fibers, gaps between floorboards, cracks in walls, and more. Ozone is able to penetrate these areas and destroy the odors.

Avoiding Fires During The Holidays!

Oven fire with smoke and flames Call SERVPRO of Westminster today!

Home Fires 

Holidays should be about family, friends, and great food! Don't let a house fire interrupt your festivities. 

Turn off your appliances

Often times, stoves and other appliances are left on during cooking. It is very important to be aware of these in order to prevent house fires, soot, and other damages that can occur on the property. 

Unplug appliances

Not only does it save electricity, but unplugging appliances also reduces the chance of a fire. About 12% of fires at home are started by electrical equipment, and 85% of fatal fires are started accidentally. 

Have an evacuation plan 

In the event that a fire does occur, you should be aware of all the points of exit in the building. 

SERVPRO of Westminster always has your back

When accidents happen, you can count on us to get the job done right. Our crew of technicians is trained and qualified to handle your home with care. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, our employees are required to wear masks and social distancing is enforced.

Water damage affects not only the structure of your house but also your belongings. SERVPRO of Westminster Professionals understand that your home is more than a structure; your family’s furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other belongings help transform a house into a home.

If You Have Questions or Need Help, Call Us Today 714.248.9261

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Westminster Professionals specialize in restoring contents damaged by fire, water, or mold. Their expertise and “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. They pretest your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their condition before the water damage. SERVPRO Professionals utilize several methods of cleaning your contents, including:

  • Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
  • Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
  • Spray and Wipe -Effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
  • Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
  • Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned. 
  • Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product. 

Document Restoration Services

11/21/2018 (Permalink)

How does it work?

SERVPRO of Westminster team, along with the help of the Document Restoration team if necessary, will inventory the documents at the site of the loss, pack them up, then ship them to SERVPRO Corporate. In some cases, cold storage or refrigerated trucks may be needed, but the Document Restoration team will advise and assist where necessary. Once documents arrive, the boxes will be inventoried, placed in cold storage if necessary, and the drying process will begin.

The Document Restoration Team uses sublimation—turning a solid directly into a vapor, skipping the liquid stage to avoid causing more damage to the documents. This process can recover even the most delicate items—from documents to photographs and x-rays, to entire business archives. Depending on the type of job, documents can also be decontaminated, cleaned, deodorized, and even digitized. 

Services

Cleaning

The Document Restoration Team will go through each box page by page to wipe down and remove dirt, soot, or other contaminants. 
There are 3 levels of cleaning based on the type of soiling, and how heavy it is. 

Deodorizing

Many times documents that have been affected will hold residual smells of contaminants, or mildew, and should be deodorized before being returned to your client.

Digitizing
With the new age of technology, digitizing records and documents has become a standard practice in most industries. This eliminates the need to have massive file storage rooms and allows us to access records at the click of a button. If your customer's file room was damaged by water or smoke and needs to be cleaned, dried or decontaminated, digitizing might be a good choice to eliminate the need to have hundreds or even thousands of documents and records in their storage.
