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.
