Water damage restoration can seem like an empty gesture when the situation is dire. For many property owners, fixing the aftermath of a flooded apartment is a reminder of the costs associated with building upkeep. While a flooded complex via nature’s intrusion or by way of a burst pipe is always an unpleasant experience, the fact remains that certain techniques can ultimately help you move on. Soil-Away uses targeted, specific measures to address each restoration task. In the end, a multi-floor apartment will look as good as it did pre-flooding.

Content Cleaning in the Aftermath

Besides the building itself, one of the first victims of water damage is the contents. Ranging from appliances to personal belongings, these losses can lead to unhappy tenants, which leads to more expenses. In many cases, the cost of damaged items can fall on the landlord. As a result, any way to restore belongings can both appease tenants and save you money.

Water Damage Restoration After A Pipe Burst

The plumbing for multi-floor apartments can be elaborate, often running alongside rooms to the very top. Ideally, most plumbing leaks occur in the lower depths, where the damages might not be as great. Unfortunately, any leaks that occur on upper floors will drip down onto other levels. Substantial leaks will damage floors and ceilings, as well as anything in between. In order to properly restore a “traveling” leak, you need professionals who can clean up every trace. Such leaks can leave behind a trail of damages that can evolve into substantial problems. Soil-Away will ensure that the clean-up is 100% effective.

Mold Trappings

Mold is one of the common side effects of water damages. A restoration approach detects hidden pockets. For multi-floor properties, a possible health hazard is a serious concern. You have to worry about regular occupants as well as property guests. The only way to be sure of complete mold eradication is to hire professionals. Don’t take mold lightly. Soil-Away finds hidden trappings before mold spreads and contaminates apartment walls.

Construction

Restoration often involves the need to re-establish foundations. Any property hit with water damages stands to lose large amounts of insulation and drywall. Once our specialists drain all the fluids from the area, our construction services bring carpenters, roofers, and electricians to the table. In order to do a project, we plan out each construction effort before implementation. We are fully insured and licensed because we believe in being professional.

Mold removal is crucial for minimizing the potential health risks associated with a commercial building. Those locations where sanitization codes and standards are of the utmost importance, such as restaurants, are particularly vulnerable to mold development. Basically, any property that’s subjected to moisture regularly is an unfortunate candidate for mold infestations. With the right approach, a commercial property can be restored to its pre-mold status. There is always a need to act quickly in any situation in which an infestation has taken place in order to prevent further damage to the site.

Soil-Away can help by preventing further contamination. We will dispose of the affected materials safely. Then we will clean and sanitize the structure. Mold removal from your commercial property can be a complicated process – one that is not worth taking a chance on without professional assistance. Our skilled technicians will handle mold removal from your property.

Fighting Hidden Mold

Removing mold can be a real challenge, so you must be equipped to handle the situation. Missing hidden pockets of mold may lead to the loss of valuables and cherished items. Often, it makes sense to employ a Certified Industrial Hygienist when working on commercial properties. Their tests can determine mold spore counts and the scope of the project. This can vary based on the property and circumstances. Our mold remediation specialists have handled a wide range of mold removal situations, so we can solve your mold problems with confidence. Planning is the key.

Effective Fighting Tactics Against Hidden Mold

A properly performed remediation will prove more efficient, just as mold removal does. The owner of a commercial property should conduct air and surface sampling prior to remediation. You can make an informed decision based on how serious the situation is. When possible, Soil-Away recommends hiring a local Industrial Hygienist (IH) to assess mold toxicity levels, establish a mold spore count baseline, and specify project goals. By obtaining this information, remediation technicians can get an idea of what needs to be done in order to resolve the issue. Therefore, sample testing is an excellent method of saving time and money.

Restoring Locations to Mold-Free Areas

Mold removal might not be obvious to you in some cases. It can grow for too long in moisture pockets. In the absence of proper removal, mold will continue to grow on your property. This typically requires the removal of porous building materials such as drywall and carpets. Natural disasters like flooding can cause mold to go unnoticed following a disaster. Stress and a sudden storm can cause less-obvious signs of mold to go unnoticed. 

Using detailed cleaning techniques and high-tech equipment, our technicians can remove mold from structures and contents. Mold spore removal and spore capture are our areas of expertise. Mold can grow underneath floors, in walls, and other places that you might not suspect. Don’t underestimate the danger of incomplete mold removal. If your restaurant, government building, or any other commercial property has mold, we will offer mold remediation services. Call Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration now at (603) 641-6555.

Property damage cleanup can be a time-consuming process. In the wake of a disaster, man-made or otherwise, restoring your property to its former status costs money. For many people, a full recovery might seem impossible. Interior flooding, electrical fires, and mold spores can all be stressful to deal with, but with the right response, a recovery is possible. Soil-Away can walk you through each one should they occur.

Interior Flooding and Property Damage Cleanup

When it comes to property damage cleanup, flooding is one of the messier scenarios to deal with. For one thing, unlike with other natural disasters, the water will remain in place until it is removed. Water must be flushed out so the items can be retrieved and examined. Soil-Away will conduct an inspection once the water is removed. Our specialists will decide on a plan of action, one that makes your property a livable space once again. Once the work is completed, we use a post-remediation verification (PRV) test. This way you can be sure of safety before anyone occupies the premises.

Electrical Fires

The site of a fire often affects both the outside and inside of a property, but an electrical fire can do more damage inside due to its point of origin. In addition, electrical fires are extremely common, especially in older homes and buildings. They can occur in both occupied and unoccupied buildings without warning. In cases where the fire was allowed to burn long enough to do substantial damage, the affected buildings will require a direct response, one that is professional and thorough.

Soil-Away has dealt with the aftermath of many electrical fires. Our clients can attest to how a quick response can save properties, even when the situation seems hopeless. Our property damage cleanup specialists can work with even the worst of situations. We can remove the damaged elements and salvage your belongings. Any fully lost items will be cataloged and disposed of so you will know which items were salvageable.

Property Damage Cleanup Can Include Mold Spores

While mold is often associated with flooding, it is ultimately its own issue with specific solutions, regardless of the reason it develops. Mold spores will grow in the wake of submerged floors and basements. Pockets of moisture will slowly cultivate spores and you will be the last to know about it, unless you schedule a professional property damage cleanup. Not only does mold make clothes and other belongings unsalvageable, it can seep into the structure itself. This is a worst-case scenario because not only does this cause property damage, it has the possibility to poison the atmosphere. Mold spores can easily render an environment uninhabitable.

Recovery Plans for Property Damages

No matter which type of property damage you face, you can reach out to us at (603) 641-6555. Once you explain your situation to our experts, we can set you up with a service plan, one that is the best response for flooding, fires, and other types of extensive property damages. Soil-Away stands for professional and personable services. Our specialists have dealt with these types of disaster clean-ups before. We can reassure you that your property will recover.

Mold removal is a necessary part of minimizing potential health hazards in a commercial property. This is especially true of commercial locations that house restaurants, where sanitation codes and standards are emphasized. Any property that is regularly exposed to moisture is an unfortunate candidate for mold and mildew infestations. Whenever an infestation occurs, one must move quickly to stop further problems at the location.

In some cases, you might not know you need mold removal. Moisture pockets can lead to mold growth that goes unseen for far too long. Mold will continue to take over your property if it is not properly removed, which often requires the removal of porous building materials like drywall and carpeting. Of course, mold can go unnoticed following natural disasters like flooding that affects the neighborhood. The less-obvious beginnings of mold can slip past you due to all the stress involved when a storm hits.

This is where Soil-Away can step in to stop further contamination from occurring. We will safely dispose of the affected materials and properly clean and sanitize the remaining structure. Without professional mold removal services, removing water and mold from your commercial property is a complicated process – one that is not worth risking. Our technicians run a thorough process to do away with mold.

A Mold Removal Game Plan

Mold removal takes a well-planned approach. Otherwise, you risk the chance of missing hidden pockets and losing valuable and cherished items. In commercial properties it is often wise to hire a Certified Industrial Hygienists. Their tests can confirm mold spore counts on the premises and set a scope for the project.

Since every commercial property and situation is different, the game plan might change. Our team of experts have faced every type of situation in remediation, so we can step in with confidence and solve your mold problems. Being prepared is vital. Mold removal should not be based on guesswork.

Schedule A Sample Test

Remediation, like any mold removal step, is more effective in the correct order. For example, a commercial property owner should schedule an air and/or surface sample test before remediation. This way you can verify how serious the situation is, and what the extent of the response should be. At Soil-Away, we recommend you hire an Industrial Hygienist (IH) first, to confirm mold toxin levels on-premises, establishing a mold spore count baseline and goals for the project. This kind of data can inform you about the situation and give the remediation technicians an idea of how to proceed. Ultimately, a sample test saves you time and money.

Mold Removal from Your Commercial Property

Soil-Away provides storm damage and biohazard remediation for commercial properties. Our technicians can remediate mold from structures and contents by using detailed cleaning techniques combined with high-tech equipment. We offer the best mold spore removal and capture services in the area. Mold hides underneath floors, inside the walls, or in other places you might not think to check. Don’t risk a half-completed removal. Instead, call Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration now at (603) 641-6555. Our mold remediation plans will restore your restaurant, government buildings, and any other commercial locations that find themselves hit with mold.

Basement flooding is an emergency property damage situation that requires an immediate response. The question is, where do you begin? Reducing the damage is key, but so is removing items from the affected area. With the right steps, you can control this sort of disaster and respond to it effectively.

Establishing Safety Precautions

A core step of defeating flood damage is to start off focused on safety. The failure to plan and establish safety precautions can lead to further damage and expenses. We’ll start with an inspection to establish the situation and the best approach. Soil-Away technicians use organized methods to mark the worst areas of flooding and to begin the effort of saving personal belongings and the structure itself. Flood damage cleanup is no easy process, but with the right approach, we can restore a basement to its previous state.

Recovery Steps

In order for basement flooding recovery to be successful, the proper course of action is a combination of equipment and ingenuity. Soil-Away uses state-of-the-art tools to kick the recovery process into high gear. For example, our truck-mounted pumps ensure that the basement surface is sufficiently dried until there are no standing pools left inside your property. 

Even with heavy flooding scenarios brought on by weather or burst pipes, our moisture-sensing equipment detects moisture pockets that affect hidden areas like behind walls and under floorboards. These areas are prone to microbial infestations. Excessive moisture can quickly halt the recovery process. Our restoration/remediation techs use focus and experience to chip away at all the issues that come with basement flooding.

Relocation and Documentation

Since we tend to use basements for storage areas, it makes sense that basement flooding can have mass casualties when it comes to personal belongings. An integral course of action is to relocate and document each item for cleaning or disposal once the excess water is pumped from the basement. Soft goods like heavy clothing, sports gear, and bedding can also be salvageable with quick thinking.

Soil-Away moves wet and damaged items to a safe location to sort them. This process sometimes includes area rug cleaning alongside clothing items. While not every item will survive being submerged, our technicians have a high rate of success. 

Comprehensive Drying after Basement Flooding 

Following a flooding extraction, the next course of action is to clean and treat the area against microbial growth issues. These infestations stand a chance of returning and creating health hazards for occupants. By using dehumidifiers and air movers, our tech specialists fully dry the basement to pre-loss conditions. While flooding requires a quick response, there must be time to future-proof basements once we secure everything.

Best Course of Action with Soil-Away Services

Soil-Away uses proven methods to give our customers the best outcome. When Mother Nature sends heavy rains and storms, you need professionals to ensure complete recovery. We work with homeowners, major corporations, and property management to ensure that basement flooding recovery efforts go as planned. Call us now at (603) 641-6555 or stop by our website for more information.

Fire damage occurs during situations where lives are often in danger. Due to such stressful situations, thinking on your feet is not an easy thing to do, because getting out alive is obviously the priority. Belongings will be damaged when a home or commercial building is ablaze, and there is nothing to do but pick up the pieces afterwards. Once the flames are extinguished, one must mitigate the losses and salvage whatever suffered the least amount of damage.

In order to do this, a professional fire damage restoration service must be brought in. There are too many mistakes to be made when dealing with fire after-effects, as well as more danger. For example, trapped water can create a hazardous atmosphere that may affect you. Soil-Away can salvage your belongings from the leftover water needed to extinguish the flames. With our truck-mounted extraction units, we can eliminate standing water from interiors so the rebuilding can begin.

Our Cleaning Process for Fire Damage

Salvaging belongings from fire damage requires a strict process in order to properly address both seen and unseen damage. On the surface, there are soot spots and the pungent smell of burning that is almost inescapable. Soot can be difficult to remove because contaminants can hide inside walls and go undetected for some time. With so many issues to deal with all at once, it is necessary to remove foundational sections and items that are too far gone. Basically, everything needs to be processed before the property can be re-inhabited. 

Once we process everything, we can return all salvaged and restored contents. Soil-Away will remove or replace damaged structural and flooring components because soot often aligns with moisture pockets and settles in for further damages. These areas can be a breeding ground for mold and toxic particles thanks to oxygen and excess moisture. Our cleaning process takes care of each unsavory element, with a high chance of returning belongings and locations to pre-fire conditions.

How Does This Damage Occur on a Large Scale?

We have all heard and seen examples of fire damage. However, it is easy to assume that large-scale fires are rare. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Storm-prone locations can create and spread fires when lightning strikes outside structures or nearby trees. 

Nature also brings wind and water damages, both of which can lead to electricity-sparked fires that develop into a full blaze. While you can take precautions to halt these effects, it is impossible to be 100% protected against Mother Nature. On the man-made side of things, common space heaters can lead to major fires in a home or office. Make no mistake: you need a gameplan just in case a fire occurs. Soil-Away offers an easy-to-book service that can step in and rescue your belongings from larger fires.

Lingering Effects of Fire Damage

Smoke and soot can affect certain appliances within your structure, creating a hazardous property. Fire damage will linger long after the fire department extinguishes the blaze. In order to be 100% sure of your family’s safety, a professional needs to assess and eradicate the damages. Otherwise, these issues will continue to plague your property. Soil-Away works with insurance carriers, property management companies, major corporations, and homeowners on each case. Our experts can mitigate damages and restore belongings despite various contaminations.

Beat Fire Damage with Soil-Away Restoration

Ask us about our commercial loss restoration services. We have solutions to salvage fixtures, carpets, and your prized belongings. With Soil-Away your items have a chance to return to at least equal to or better than pre-loss status. Call us at (603) 641-6555 or visit our website today if fire damages hit where you live or work.

Deep cleaning is the only way to remove surface damages that are associated with an out-of-control blaze. Fires can result in the displacement of building occupants, from homeowners to apartment tenants, who must relocate due to unsafe conditions. Soot marks the home or office that survives a fire. Attempting to do a half-cleaning job will not fix the problem, nor will it allow you to return to the way of life prior to the fire. 

In such cases, hire a professional cleaning company to erase those marks. A DIY cleaning job will only leave your dwelling place looking worse. Contaminations will stay where they are without professional cleaning equipment.

Contamination Requires Deep Cleaning

Fire damages are deadly during and after an event. Contamination can linger due to the potency of smoke and soot, not to mention the toxic possibilities of water left over from the fire department’s visit. Contamination requires deep cleaning because there is no easy way to remove these biohazards – at least not by yourself.

In fact, irreversible damage is an unfortunate side effect of fires. You should never attempt to scrub painted walls or decor following fire damages. Carpet and furniture cannot simply be washed. Cleaning products that are inappropriate to the situation leads to additional destruction, often making it impossible to fully salvage items or areas of the building.

Deep Cleaning Soot

Soot-covered items require special attention. Home appliances can become permanently stained if soot is rubbed into the surface by uninformed attempts to clean. An authorized repair service uses high-tech equipment to deal with soot thoroughly. Our vacuums are built to remove loose particles from every surface without redistributing it into the air to continue causing damage. 

With a combination of hard work and special training, our technicians can deep clean both residential and commercial properties. We make it our job to mitigate the pervasive, noxious (sometimes toxic or corrosive) odors left over by a fire. Our staff is fully bonded and insured for the removal of smoky odors and soot damage. With Soil-Away on your side, you’ll know we got rid of all the toxins.

The Aftermath of a Fire: Who to Call

While there are ways to spot-wash minor soot stains from the household walls, attempting to remove soot and other fire-made marks can be dangerous. Without professional services, you can risk your well-being–and the well-being of the people around you–and worsen the situation. In case of a fire, the best thing to do is move on as quickly as possible, which means letting the pros do the work.

Soil-Away deals with any fire, water, and storm aftermath by using speed and precision. This way you can get back to business as usual. As traumatic as a fire can be, there is no need to experience more problems during the clean-up. Contact us now and we can determine the level of damage you have experienced. While each scenario is different, we guarantee a response that can salvage your prized belongings. Our cleaning experts are ready to gear up and make your property look like there was no fire in the first place.

Water damage is a strange thing because it can be the cause of insignificant, tiny messes, but it can also be the reason behind financially disastrous events that alter your life in various ways. A spilled glass of water can ruin a perfectly good book, while a flood can permanently damage carpeting, wooden foundations, and every sort of belonging (including books). When flooding occurs, a property owner is going to be helpless for the most part, especially if the water level is severe enough to fill a basement or lower-level home. How do you proceed after a disaster like this?

The Need for a Professional

One way is to enlist an efficient flood damage restoration service, because unless your situation is only a spilled glass on the kitchen table, you need a professional that knows the rules when it comes to safety and clean-up. Water damage not only hurts your property and belongings, but it also makes for a dangerous location. Mold can quickly settle into areas with trapped oxygen and moisture. Untreated organic surfaces can harbor toxins, which can affect people and objects that come into contact with them.

The Dangers of Water Damage

Water damage is fairly obvious at first, but eventually it turns silent and deadly. Trapped water is not easy to find without the proper equipment, which Soil-Away brings to every job site. Water hidden inside walls and under floors can easily go undetected as mold spores continue to spread. In many cases, a property is at risk of having multiple health code violations following flooding, making proper restoration services vital for full recovery. 

Keep in mind that if this is your home that is affected, then you will need a thorough solution to restore things to normal. Soil-Away can provide inspections once the water is removed. This way, you will have scientific proof that a house can become a livable space once again. We can facilitate a post-remediation verification (PRV) test before anyone occupies the premises, to be certain that mold spore counts have been properly lowered. 

Water Damage Doesn’t Stop Until We Make It Stop

In severe cases, water damage continues as it sits unopposed. Storm and flood damage restoration is necessary to remove the toxicity from hardwood floors, under furniture, and anywhere else water invades. For efficient biohazard remediation, call Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration. Our professional team can safely remove all the items that are beyond repair. We can also salvage many items as well. 

Our end goal is to restore your location to pre-flooding conditions so you and your family can reinhabit your home. Reach us at (603) 641-6555 to learn which service plan is the solution you need. In the event of traumatic water damages, we can provide professional and personable services. Water damage will continue to hurt your property the longer it sits. Do not hesitate to call Soil-Away.

Commercial building restoration is often at odds with nature. Damages to school, government, and store properties can occur when savage weather rolls in or when piping systems suddenly burst inside the walls or under the ground. When such losses occur, appliances, carpets, and furniture are easy targets for water or fire damage. On the upside, restoration is possible for all the above.

Restoration is protection against the trauma that loss can bring. At Soil-Away, we make the process as easy as possible. We can work with your insurance carrier and property management company, and our commercial building restoration services will return your property to pre-loss condition.

We will examine physical damage to your commercial location and note where the worst of it is in the surviving structure. Soil-Away provides a detailed list of services and photo documentation to assist you with insurance claims and recordkeeping (the latter helps with balancing the budget).

Commercial Building Restoration Disposal

We’ll work with you to safely dispose of any debris and unsalvageable contents on the premises during this part of the process. Each piece of furniture and fixture will be evaluated based on condition and whether or not they are salvageable. If possible, they will be restored and cleaned to be retrieved later. When necessary, we utilize HEPA air scrubbers, industrial fans, and dehumidifiers. They can remove any moisture pockets that could cause further damages. 

Black mold and other biohazards are notorious for taking hold in areas that need restoration. Soil-Away Restoration Services addresses all water, fire, and miscellaneous damages that would normally set you back due to expenses and timeframe. We use special hydrometers and other moisture detectors to find hidden pockets of moisture within walls or under flooring. As a result, we can tackle spots where micro-organisms might hide.

In the end, all salvaged and restored contents will be brought back onto the premises. This process includes a walk-through to review the results of our restoration to ensure your satisfaction. We provide commercial loss restoration that is as complete as possible. Our employees are certified by the IICRC. We work efficiently to restore your commercial property against all odds. The goal is to return your items back to pre-loss conditions. In fact, we want it to seem like the damage never occurred in the first place.

Commercial loss restoration is necessary to restore hundreds of items that are lost to fire and smoke damage each year. In fires, soft goods like heavy clothing, bedding, and blankets often take the brunt of smoke and flames, not to mention the efforts to diffuse the dangerous elements. After all, a heavy jet of water is going to leave water residue behind and create biohazards. A microbial infestation is not uncommon in a surviving structure post-fire, which can escalate into big losses if this infestation spreads.

At Soil-Away, we have experts who deal with commercial loss restoration on a daily basis. Our team can return damaged goods to pre-flood conditions. Over the years, we have helped save the appliances, fixtures, and carpets of numerous clients who just wanted to return to normalcy. Our Industrial Hygienist can conduct an air and surface sample test to help verify how high the toxin levels are. This establishes a mold spore count baseline, which works as a blueprint. This is only the beginning. That’s why if there’s a fire, Soil-Away can help.

Esporta-Certified Operators 

Certified Esporta Operators are responsible for commercial loss restoration success. In the wake of a fire, traditional washing applications cannot fully restore water- or smoke-damaged soft goods. The only sure way to restore belongings and property is to use the Esporta iS4000 Wash System.

The state-of-the-art Esporta consumes 35% less water than traditional laundry machinery. With the proper care, Soil-Away promises complete restoration of textiles and soft contents. In fact, 85% of thought-to-be unsalvageable belongings can be cleaned and stored away until they are 100% free of smoke and mildew. Likewise, any unsalvageable items will be inventoried, documented, and disposed of safely, along with any harmful debris. 

Thanks to a 24-hour turnaround, your most sentimental belongings stand a chance of renewal. You won’t have to throw away as much as you would expect following a destructive fire.

Commercial Loss Restoration Inside Your Home

Commercial loss restoration isn’t just about saving furniture or cleaning the living room carpeting. A home exposed to fire can become a deadly breeding ground. Water combined with smoke inside a tight structure can result in harmful indoor air quality, which instantly puts the property occupants in danger.

Soil-Away also knows the importance of cleaning and sanitizing the affected rooms and foundations of a home. Debris and soot are not something you can deal with on your own; many unknown side effects can further contaminate your property or cost you money. For a return to a healthy environment, our operators use HEPA vacuums and filtration systems. This technology can wash the affected areas clean of any contaminants so your family members can breathe clean air without worry. We make sure to thoroughly sanitize and deodorize surviving items. Commercial loss restoration helps you move on from loss.

Soil-Away Versus Fire Damages

Soil-Away Cleaning & Restoration doesn’t just clean your soft goods. We also safely dispose of any debris and unsalvageable contents on the premises so you don’t have to. Drywall sections, furniture, and appliances must also go in order for you to rebuild. We use innovative methods and modern technology to stop further losses from gaining any traction. Contact us today for a new start and put the fire in the past, where it belongs. Reach us at (603) 641-6555 to ask for an estimate. 

Most people expect a property to be safe and sturdy. It’s easy to take a structure’s condition for granted, even when that location is unfamiliar. Unfortunately, storms can shatter those expectations, with strong winds or flooding allowing moisture and mold to wreak havoc in the aftermath. Violent storms have the potential to cause severe damage due to lightning strikes, high winds, and rainwater that seeps into hard-to-see places.

Not that it takes a harsh storm to create an in-house disaster, either. In a more mundane scenario, faulty water pipes can create considerable damage to a property’s interiors at every level. Having water flood your home is bad enough, but the situation can turn dire when a sewage line backs up and bursts. Once this occurs, the problem escalates into a toxic scenario that requires expert handling. Soil-Away has deep cleaning and disinfection methods that can address damaged belongings and interiors.

Basement Water Extraction

If your property has a lower level, then you might know from experience how quickly belongings can become submerged during a flood. Timing is crucial here because the longer water sits, the easier it is for bacteria and toxic residue to permanently mark clothing, stuffed animals, and soft furnishings. Soil-Away can extract water successfully, with no residue left behind. Using high-tech equipment, our team can find even the most hidden of water pockets.

In the wake of a basement flood disaster, we can restore salvageable items to prime condition. Thanks to the highly effective Esporta Wash System, we can restore soft contents to a food-grade safe level. We take sports gear, children’s stuffed animals, and other soft materials from the site of the disaster and store them until clean-up can begin.

No Leftover Debris

We’ll inventory, document, and dispose of unsalvageable items with the debris. During the restoration project, our services can expedite your insurance claim process by providing accurate documentation and photos. This way, any damages and details of our restoration procedures will be there for reference.

One important step is to remove submerged materials. For example, porous building materials, such as drywall and carpeting, should be disposed of as soon as possible to avoid the further spreading of toxins. Once torn-out debris is handled, Soil-Away applies the best deep cleaning and disinfection methods to the remaining areas until the site resembles its pre-damaged state.

Deep Cleaning and Disinfection After Burst Pipes

Bitterly cold winters and high wind chills can cause pipes to freeze and burst. This is one of the most unpredictable and destructive conditions in nature. It causes millions of dollars in commercial damage each year. Hundreds of personal belongings see moisture, mold, and bacteria damage. Deep cleaning and disinfection is the only way to completely salvage any items pulled from the wreckage.

At Soil-Away, we use HEPA vacuums and air scrubs to wash away signs of grime. To be thorough, we also sand, dry-ice blast, and use whatever techniques the situation calls for. Once we dispose of any toxic materials, we dry the areas with large fans and dehumidifiers. With the property in the clear, we can replace any damaged components with fresh materials.

Restoring Your Property and Belongings with Deep Cleaning and Disinfection

Soil-Away Cleaning & Restoration provides full-service emergency restoration to combat damages that occur on your properties. Members of our team are certified by the IICRC. Our trained and dedicated staff will safely and efficiently remove excess water, clean the area, and disinfect your premises to a quality at least equal to its previous condition. Call us now at (603) 641-6555 if your property is at risk.

Fire damage restoration is the only way to completely address a fire and its aftermath. Whenever a property goes up in flames–whether it’s minor or major damage–there will be lingering effects. Water used to put the flames out can combine with smoke, soot, and the contents of your structure. The result is a toxic mix of hazardous damages that make the property dangerous to occupy. 

Unfortunately, the need for fire damage restoration is quite common. Soil-Away’s specialists have seen enough fire cases to know that there are commonalities between every scenario. Call the damage restoration experts at Soil-Away today for a consultation – 603-641-6555.

Fire Damage Restoration for A Space Heater-Related Fire

One of the most common reasons for fires is space heaters. These small but powerful devices easily blend in with other appliances. We forget they are there during the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, leaving a space heater on can lead to terrible consequences. Firefighters cite space heaters as a major cause for fire damage in homes and offices. Despite the boasts of the manufacturers regarding their safety, leaving them powered up unattended can lead to destructive blazes. One reason this occurs so often is because we overlook them.

In the event of a space heater-related fire, Soil-Away can mitigate any damages and restore your belongings to pre-fire conditions. Following the water needed to extinguish the flames, our truck-mounted extraction units can remove any standing water. In addition, our team uses powerful HEPA air scrubbers, air movers, industrial fans, and dehumidifiers to remove excessive moisture and humidity from the premises. These thorough tactics can help prevent black mold or other biohazards from developing in your surroundings.

Cooking Accidents

As another common reason for fires, cooking accidents can happen within seconds. Before you know it, your kitchen wall might be marked with soot. Heavy smoke will linger behind, contaminating everything, including your foundations and cabinets. A kitchen fire is no joke, often causing extensive damage before being put out. Once this occurs, you’ll need to retain Soil-Away’s restoration services.

Our experts will use special hydrometers and other moisture detectors to find any hidden pockets of moisture within walls or under flooring. Any walls or flooring that are beyond repair will be disposed of. In turn, we can salvage belongings by way of a strict cleaning process, which completely eliminates the fire smell and soot spots. Once everything is processed, all salvaged and restored contents will be brought back onto the premises. This process includes a post-inspection to evaluate the results of our restoration.

Aggressive Storms

A high-level storm can be responsible for creating or spreading fires. Your property, no matter when it was originally built, can suffer from water, lightning, and wind damage. All three can create electrical shorts when walls or foundations are hit with enough force. An aggressive storm spreads fire across a property, which means soot and smoke will overtake every structure in the nearby area. While you can take some precautions to avoid heavy storm damage, it is impossible to protect everything 100%. Storms are obviously chaotic and unpredictable. A freak accident is just that, which means you need a follow-up plan to address the aftermath.

The goal is to return your items back to a quality at least equal to or better than pre-loss conditions. At Soil-Away, we also have experts for mold removal, remediation and prevention, HVAC duct cleaning, and other specialized areas.

Mold remediation is key to salvaging any soft goods in the aftermath of a flood. When a basement floods, the lifespan of your submerged belongings ticks away, and every second can make the difference between saving those items and tossing them in the garbage. Without the proper response, submerged belongings like stuffed animals, sports equipment, and backpacks will not have a high chance of survival. Professional remediation is the best way to properly clean the toxicity from your prized possessions.

While flooding is generally associated with total destruction, innovations in the field of mold remediation have led to more effective means for salvaging affected items. For example, dehumidifiers have increased the chance of restoration for textiles and soft contents. Basement flooding can be quite disastrous, with low success rates of restoration. However, Soil-Away has perfected soft goods restoration by following the important steps of removal and sanitation. In the event of flooding, the Esporta Wash System can sanitize soft contents from water damage or mold.

Restoring Textiles and Soft Contents

Better restoration of textiles and soft contents depends on factors such as odor, spot and bacteria removal. Soft goods like heavy clothing, camping gear, and regular bedding accessories can be salvaged by using efficient technology, like the Esporta iS4000 Wash System.

With the iS4000, jobs require 35% less water consumption than e traditional laundry methods. The Esporta is not as wasteful, making the restoration more successful. Financial and mental costs can add up whenever sentimental belongings are lost in flooding. The aftermath of such disasters is a prime period for mold to set in, which means you need to make a decision sooner rather than later. Soil-Away uses a fully-integrated closed system, with hardware (the machine), detergents, and software (the recipes) to achieve the cleanest job possible. 

The Esporta can save your child’s teddy bears and blankets. We can remove the majority of mold and mildew, without any lingering odors or spots. We aim to sanitize items to a food-grade safe. 

Mold Remediation for Sports Equipment

In the flooding scenario, sports uniforms and equipment are often vulnerable due to how they’re stored. After all, these items are typically put away seasonally, and basements are an ideal place to put them out of sight. However, a basement flood will expose them to bacterial elements, often penetrating foam and fabric, which makes removal very difficult. While traditional washing applications use components from various vendors (detergents) to remove bacteria on a physical level without scientific or laboratory considerations, our specialists use the Esporta Wash System to make a complete post-flood recovery. 

The chance of success is high that we can sanitize soft contents to a food-grade safety level. This eliminates excessive mold from your hockey pads, sneakers, and baseball gloves. We provide effective cleaning, freshening, and disinfection of the belongings you care about most. When possible, we have a 24-hour turnaround timetable on emergency and sentimental items. On top of saving the items, this speed also leads to faster claim settlements. We work hard to organize what is salvageable and what isn’t.

For example, we inventory, document, and dispose of any items that are too far gone. This removes the task from your list of responsibilities so you can begin rebuilding from a serious situation. Our mold remediation team will meet your timeline head-on. Once you regain your belongings, you can start to rebuild. We offer a thorough investigation and removal of all traces of mold. 

Soil-Away Erases Mold and Bacteria

Your belongings each have their own value, both sentimental and actual. Our goal is to help restore each one so you don’t have to associate them with something as terrible as a flooded basement. This is one mess that Soil-Away’s Esporta-certified operators can help you remedy. We have saved clients millions of dollars in replacement costs and erased the damage from just as many personal belongings. Our storm damage restoration, biohazard remediation, and furniture/carpet cleaning are top-notch services. Call us at (603) 641-6555 or visit our website for more information. 

You know what soot damage looks like. We have all seen nightly news reports of buildings that caught fire, with towers of smoke and wet interiors. Soot leaves dark physical markings, but it also works as an airborne pollutant due to microscopic particles floating around. In the wake of a fire, soot claims its territory, which means it takes an expert service to remove it.

Debris and soot go hand-in-hand in a figurative sense. You cannot have a clean and safe environment with either around, and leaving both unattended only leads to more damage. Delay just makes the problems worse. Contact Soil-Away when you have difficult-to-remove soot damage. Our leading-edge technology, proven restoration techniques, and industrial-grade cleaning products will guarantee quality results in less time than you might expect.

Soot Versus HEPA Vacuums

Generally speaking, property post-fire needs a lot of attention because the removal takes several layers of work. After all, it’s likely that debris and soot have contaminated both the interior and exterior of the property, which complicates matters. 

In the event of a fire, it is commonplace for the HVAC duct system to be contaminated by airborne pollutants like residual soot, dust, and the beginnings of mold. When the goal is to restore a clean and healthy environment, Soil-Away’s technicians use HEPA vacuums and filtration systems to clean every affected area. For the air duct system, we thoroughly remove those airborne pollutants from the property.

In addition, we clean any salvageable items. This includes regular appliances, fixtures, carpets, flooring, and other surviving contents. During this cleaning process, we can restore each item to pre-loss conditions. We make sure your belongings are up to code and thoroughly sanitized and deodorized.

Smoke and Odors

After the fire is out, the smoke residue and other odors cling to every surface. Soot is difficult to remove because it’s only the beginning of the clean-up. That’s why we thoroughly follow the appropriate cleaning steps to remove all traces. You don’t want lingering odors to irritate you.

Over the years, we developed and perfected our techniques. This is because every scenario is a bit different in scope. For example, a small, confined fire will have a concentrated dose of soot, which makes it more difficult to remove. A large structural blaze will leave behind a pervasive smoky odor that tends to spread into unseen nooks, which means the approach needs to be more investigative. Regardless of the details, Soil-Away is certified and equipped to remediate the noxious odors from materials and contents, large or small.

Our employees are certified by the IICRC. We are NH’s first operator of the Esporta Wash System. Several team members work efficiently and safely to restore your contents. Our goal is to return your belongings and structures back to a quality at least equal to or better than pre-loss conditions.

Side Effects of Soot Damage

Damaged structural and flooring components often must be replaced with fresh materials because soot often comes packaged with side effects, such as moisture pockets that work as a breeding ground for mold and toxic particles. Historically, mold can settle in places where there is plenty of oxygen, excess moisture, and an untreated organic surface. In the wake of a fire, pipes are covered in soot and leak in hidden places. Removal only comes with a thorough sweep of the property. Soot is difficult to remove because contaminants can hide inside walls and go undetected for some time.

Pre-Loss Conditions Despite Soot Damage 

Soil-Away works with insurance carriers, property management companies, major corporations, and homeowners to restore everything to pre-loss conditions. While fires can cause costly losses for commercial property owners, our team can mitigate damages, clean up the disaster, and restore your facility despite soot contamination. We use state-of-the-art technology and methods to help you overcome soot damage.

Defeating Soot Damage with Soil-Away

Any unsalvageable soot-contaminated items will be removed and immediately, inventoried, and properly disposed of. We’ll use a HEPA vacuum to remove unwanted contaminants from the area. We also use HEPA sanding and dry-ice blasting to help remove any signs of mold or soot damage. Once we complete removal and sanitation, we dry the area with large fans and dehumidifiers. Soil-Away Cleaning and Restoration Services is one of the largest independent cleaning and restoration companies in New England. We have experts ready to respond to your needs at any time, day or night. Call us now at (603) 641-6555.

Storm damage hits so hard because it’s unexpected. Even with weather reports, most people are unprepared to deal with the aftermath of a major storm. Strong winds and flooding can take a secure location down, soaking interiors and foundations, which leads to hidden water pockets. These affected areas can become breeding grounds for toxic mold growth. 

In the wake of a storm, you stand to lose clothing, furniture, and other susceptible items to mold and water damage. At Soil-Away, we offer mold removal, remediation, and prevention services. This includes HVAC duct cleaning, along with furniture and carpet cleaning. 

We are one of the largest independent cleaning and restoration companies in New England. No matter how hard the storm hits, we have ways of disinfecting and saving your belongings and property.

The Right Tools for the Job

Make no mistake: disinfecting property/belongings in the wake of storm damage is never easy. However, it is possible to save more than you might expect. This is accomplished by using the right tools for the job, along with methods that restore items to pre-damage conditions. 

For example, we use HEPA vacuums and HEPA air scrubbers to clean surfaces and the air within the areas that are hit the hardest. We mitigate damages, clean up debris from the disaster, and restore every item possible. Our equipment is tested and proven to be successful in places hit by flooding, fire, and strong winds. 

Stopping Mold Spores from Spreading

By using HEPA sanding and/or dry-ice blasting, our specialists can remove mold spores from interior structures such as wood framing and sheathing. This is followed by a full cleaning to make a space inhabitable once again. After the removal and cleaning, we dry the area with large fans and dehumidifiers.

Likewise, our Esporta Wash System sanitizes soft contents like clothing, bedding, and curtains. A person’s wardrobe may not be easily replaceable, especially if you have children. With the right steps, a high rate of cleanliness is possible. Our employees are certified by the IICRC, and we are the first company in the area that is certified for Esporta Wash System operation.

Once we complete the remediation process, we recommend you have an independent third-party perform a post-remediation verification (PRV) test. This confirms that the predetermined mold spore counts are appropriate before you move back in. After all, unresolved toxicity can affect occupant health in dire ways. Following this workflow and process will ensure optimal results and safety for building occupants. 

Disinfection and Restoration to Pre-Loss Conditions

Following storm damage, our team can efficiently and safely restore your commercial property back to a quality at least equal to or better than its pre-loss condition. Ideally, belongings will be at a food-grade safety level. We will remove and store belongings like sports jerseys, padding, boxing gloves, and other thick materials before cleaning them with our Esporta Wash System.

For your convenience, we work with insurance carriers, property management companies, major corporations, and homeowners. We want to handle your already-traumatic ordeal, so you can return to a normal life. In the wake of a storm, call Soil-Away so we can do the heavy lifting. 

Wake Up from a Storm Damage Nightmare

Our process uses dedication to help you through a tough time. We will inventory, document, and dispose of any unsalvageable items so you don’t have to deal with them. Call our experts now at (603) 641-6555 or visit our website. Your storm damage repair is our specialty.

As a mold remediation service, Soil-Away deals with hundreds of flooding situations. Bad things happen when a property is submerged in water. This might sound like an obvious statement, but no one realizes how much damage is possible until it happens to them. Sadly, in a flooding scenario, the aftermath can be just as destructive as the event itself. We’ve seen prized belongings, family heirlooms, and essential items like clothing fall prey to mold infestation. Learning the facts is the best way to begin the recovery process.

What Happens to Submerged Properties?

When water floods a basement, this is the beginning of a potential “breeding ground.” Basically, all those nooks and crannies can store shallow pockets of water. Locating these pockets is no easy task. Determining the threat isn’t possible with the naked eye, and the more time passes, the more the mold colonies can thrive. Colonies can spread into items of clothing and furniture. 

Ultimately, when water occupies spaces underneath floors, inside walls, or in the attic, you must use a mold remediation service. Otherwise, you’re risking the health of everyone that occupies the building. In fact, an unattended mold invasion can lead to an eviction. If it becomes excessive, the property could become uninhabitable.

Sample Tests with Mold Remediation

Soil-Away uses air and/or surface sample tests to determine the level of toxicity. In a submerged property case, an Industrial Hygienist (IH) will verify the level of mold contamination and establish a mold spore count baseline for the project. This way, our remediation specialists can proceed in a thorough way.

An IH can use sophisticated moisture-sensing equipment to find hidden pockets and stop mold from spreading. Time is of the essence. Our state-of-the-art equipment gives accurate results to ensure no mold goes unnoticed. After all, an incomplete job only causes more expenses in the long run. Clearly, you want to avoid such scenarios.

Water Damage Solutions 

Non-salvageable items must be completely removed. This includes porous building materials, such as drywall, carpeting, and insulation. Unfortunately, this is the only way to stop further contamination. Our experts will safely dispose of torn-out debris. The goal of this process is to leave remaining fixtures properly cleaned and sanitized. 

In many cases, we can save submerged belongings thanks to advanced cleaning and sanitization techniques. As part of the process, we can dry-ice blast and HEPA vacuum the structure, which removes and captures any remaining mold spores. With the help of large fans and dehumidifiers, we can dry out needed materials before replacing any damaged components. Our Esporta Wash System sanitizes soft contents to a food-grade safety level, thus eliminating excessive mold.  

PRV Tests for Mold Remediation 

Ideally, a post-remediation verification (PRV) test needs to occur before anyone returns to the premises. A PRV test can confirm whether the predetermined mold spore counts have been reduced to the desired level. Soil-Away stops working when everything is safe and clean. In most cases, we can erase signs of water damage and restore your property to pre-flood status. 

Erasing Mold and Water Damages

With Soil-Away, your heirlooms and fabrics have a good chance of surviving. Our Esporta wash system is 90% effective. In addition, we will inventory, document, and dispose of any unsalvageable items properly and safely.
