Malden Residents Call SERVPRO® for Mold Damage Assistance

Nobody plans to have a mold infestation, but you could have colonies developing within your Glastonbury property without realizing it. Because of the possible hazards of mildew and mold growth, you must address the issue as soon as possible. You could develop a mold problem for several reasons, including failed water removal services, burst pipes, or a leaking roof after a recent storm. What matters more than how it got caused is how you go about the cleanup and remediation process. Rather than leaving it to chance with DIY cleanup, hiring skilled technicians to perform a thorough assessment, plan, and restoration is best. SERVPRO is here for all area residents and business owners to ensure you can trust quality results. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster™, giving you added peace of mind.

Why Do Some People Choose DIY Mold Cleanup?

Many property owners are ill-informed about handling mold damage in Glastonbury. Some will see products that claim to remove the mold, while others try to spray and wipe to clear away spores. However, hiring trained technicians with the best protocols for such a project is the best way to get safe, effective results. These are some things that all property owners should know about mold growth:

• There are countless mold types around us, including the air we breathe, on our clothing inside homes, and outside in the environment.
• All it takes for different types of mold to thrive and colonize is a rise in moisture levels (relative humidity), an organic food source like drywall, paper, or wood, and optimum temperatures.
• Proper mold mitigation and cleanup becomes imperative, or the colonies can damage your interior contents, building materials, structural elements, etc.

Mold Removal is Impossible, So Beware

A lot of companies and products like to claim mold removal. However, total mold eradication is not possible. While effectively cleaning surfaces and contents to restore mold spores to normal levels, you cannot altogether remove them. Calling skilled AMRT technicians who know how mold works and the safest measures for cleanup is the only way to get efficient results you can trust. Additionally, SERVPRO handles the cause of the moisture problem that brought on the mold growth. Failing to address the root cause only means more molds can grow in the near future.

Industrial-grade Equipment and Products Matter

SERVPRO arrives ready for mold cleanup with our Green Fleet stocked with EPA-registered cleaning solutions, antimicrobials, and equipment. We pay special attention to moisture levels, monitoring everything (surface and sub-surface levels) with our detection tools and sensors. The steps that we may follow for your project include:

• Assessment of all areas with suspected mold growth. Such an assessment also involves containment to keep spores from migrating into unaffected regions of your Glastonbury property. We do this with the help of poly sheeting and negative air pressure.
• Humidity control helps us to slow and eventually halt new mold growth. We use water extraction along with drying equipment like dehumidifiers.
• Once the mold-growth area gets dried, we begin cleaning with air scrubbers, vacuums, and filtration units to pull up particles.
• All surfaces are cleaned with disinfectants and antimicrobials to eliminate musty odors and thwart new mold growth.

How Do you Handle Damaged Building Materials and Contents?

When moisture and mold saturation become severe, we dispose of unsalvageable materials and perform controlled demolition. This reconstruction phase helps us replace materials and finish everything to make it “Like it never even happened.” Anything deemed unsalvageable gets disposed of accordingly to local guidelines. – Mold Remediation Contractor License #: 0646584

Regardless of the magnitude of your mold damage project, SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is here to assist. Contact our team by calling (860) 633-8791 or request help online at your earliest convenience.

SERVPRO First Responder's Bowl - Honoring Our Heroes

5/9/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO First Responder's Bowl

SERVPRO® First Responder Bowl
The SERVPRO Honor a Responder Program is another opportunity where SERVPRO is able to treat a first responder and their family to a college bowl game and recognize their hard work and sacrifice during an on-field presentation. The SERVPRO First Responder Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game played annually in the Dallas, Texas area. First held in January 2018, SERVPRO has sponsored this event and used it as an opportunity to honor some of our country’s greatest heroes – the first responders. Fire fighters, police officers, and EMTs are nominated through the SERVPRO website. Fourteen other bowl games from Hawaii to North Carolina have signed on and agreed to support the SERVPRO Honor a Responder Program during their games.

In 2021, sergeant Steven Austin was selected to attend the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl with family and friends as a way to say thank you for his years of dedicated service to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department in Rockville, Maryland.

At SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield, we eagerly anticipate the announcement of the 2022 first responder to be announced. We also put our personal football preferences aside in order to root for all of the NCAA teams who have worked their entire athletic careers to make it to a bowl game (but we’ll always hold a spot in our heart for the UCONN Huskies in the Big East!)

Why SERVPRO? We Clean Up Your Glastonbury Water Damage FAST!

11/18/2021 (Permalink)

Time is of the essence after a water disaster at your Glastonbury home or business. SERVPRO responds ASAP to minimize restoration cost and time.

Disasters—water, storm, fire, wind or other—happen with no notice at any time of the day or night. That’s why SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield responds 24/7. Around the clock, our crews are ready to get out to your home or business in Glastonbury, Wethersfield, Marlborough, Portland or Rocky Hill.

We’re Faster to Your Emergency

Trust SERVPRO® to take care of the entire process, from phone call to final sign-off, with the skills, training, equipment and products to return your home and property to before-disaster condition.

We show up swiftly to evaluate the damage, then create a plan of action and, if necessary, take immediate steps to stop the disaster from getting worse, like boarding up your roof, etc. Then we inventory and pack out your furniture and belongings before we tackle the cleaning and restoration of your structure and personal items, including rebuilding your structure, if necessary. Finally, once all is fully restored, we return your possessions. We even coordinate your insurance claim!

Why Our Speed Matters for Water Damage

SERVPRO is ready to respond to your emergency because we know a quick response is the first step in getting you back to normal. Arriving quickly and halting the damage can minimize the extent of the repairs necessary, which in turn can reduce both the cost and the duration of the necessary cleaning and restoration.

With water disasters, it’s especially important to stop the damage ASAP and begin removing water quickly. The longer the water sits, the more it will soak into your floors, walls, furniture and possessions. Take a look at the damage that can occur when water isn’t removed from your home or business.

During the first hour

• Water spreads throughout your home or business, soaking everything it encounters
• Walls, floors, upholstery and belongings quickly absorb the water
• Papers, photos and books begin to swell and warp
• Carpet can begin to stain from furniture finishes bleeding into it

During the first day

• Drywall begins to swell and break down
• Metal surfaces begin to tarnish
• Furniture begins to swell and crack
• Dyes and inks from cloth and paper goods spread and stain
• A musty odor is noticeable, indicating the beginnings of a mold infestation

During the first week

• Mold and mildew growth can begin (after 48 hours)
• Doors, flooring, windows, studs and furniture swell, warp and show indications of mold growth
• Metal begins to rust and corrode
• Paint starts to blister

If you let one week go by after the water disaster in your home or business, you face dramatic increases in the time and cost of restoration. Many of your possessions and furnishings may not be salvageable, and your structure will require more extensive rebuilding. Further, you’re likely looking at a serious mold infestation, which poses a health risk and will require intensive remediation to clear up.

All this is why SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield springs into action to tackle your water emergency and begin extracting water almost immediately. Call us 24/7—you’ll be glad you did!

Call SERVPRO® When DIY Doesn’t Get the Job Done

7/12/2021 (Permalink)

DIY after a water or fire disaster in your home may cost you more time and money … call SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield for a job done right!

Especially after the pandemic and quarantine, Do It Yourself (DIY)—doing your own home repair and improvement projects—has really taken off. This multibillion dollar industry means that more and more of us are taking on our own fix-it jobs.

One of the primary reasons to DIY is to save money. But for many homeowners, DIY projects end up going bad and creating more expense and mess than using a professional contractor.

How often does this happen? Well, in a recent survey of 2,000 homeowners done by Improvenet, an online referral service for remodelers, almost two-thirds of the respondents regretted doing one or more DIY projects! And in one out of three of those regrettable projects, the homeowner hired a professional to complete the job. That translates into more than twenty percent of the surveyed DIYers needed to have a contractor come in and fix their mistakes or finish the job.

It gets worse: more than eight percent of the DIYers caused damage to their home, and more than six percent had injured themselves or a helper while doing a DIY project.

DIY After Water or Fire Damage Is a Challenge

If you’ve suffered a water or fire disaster at your home, you may be considering doing the repairs yourself, especially if the damage doesn’t appear to be too extensive. We at SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield have seen it all, and know that what seems like an easy repair can end up costing you time and money if you don’t get the damage cleaned up the right way.

If you’ve had a flooded basement or perhaps a leak from a roof or water appliance, you can attempt to clean up the damage by yourself. Unfortunately, you probably don’t have equipment such as strong wet vacs, air movers and moisture measuring devices, so you may not get all the water out quickly enough. In just 48 hours, lingering moisture can lead to an ongoing mold problem. SERVPRO® will do your water damage cleanup quickly and completely, leaving nothing to chance.

Likewise, if you’ve had a small fire at your home, you may be tempted to do the repair yourself. But a fire can be deceptive: is your home’s structure damaged? Is there lingering smoke and soot? What about the water used to put out the fire? Even a seemingly-simple fire cleanup job may require specialized cleaning methods and products. SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield will make sure that your structure is sound, while cleaning and deodorizing your home and everything in it.

Cell Phones: Cleaner is Good for your Health

4/27/2021 (Permalink)

The cleaner your cellphone is, the healthier you'll be. SERVPRO knows all about clean, so follow our tips to keep your phone germ-free.

Pandemic or no pandemic, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands frequently. In fact, one of the positives to emerge from the disruption of the past years is a greater emphasis on cleanliness for overall better health. Well, do we at SERVPRO® have a public health message for you: your cellphone is a germ incubator.

In fact, a recent University of Arizona study showed that cellphones harbor ten times more bacteria than a toilet seat! (We’re sorry, but it had to be said.)

Think about it: you use your phone throughout the day, rarely thinking about how frequently you touch it, or what you touch before or after. How often do you use your phone, then pick up food? Or how often do you shop or pump gas or … you get the picture, and it’s not a clean one.

Avoid Cross-Contamination

A basic way to keep germs off your phone is to be more aware of what you touch before and after you use your phone. After you touch another object, if possible, wash your hands with soap and water. If that’s not possible, use hand sanitizer.

• When eating: put your phone down while eating and wash your hands afterwards
• Shopping and running errands: Keep wipes or hand sanitizer in your car and use them before picking up your phone
• In the bathroom: does this have to be spelled out? N.O.

Disinfect Your Cellphone

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you should regularly clean all high-touch surfaces in your home and at work. Obviously, your phone is a high-touch item.

SERVPRO is all about the clean. Therefore, we advise that you give your phone a wipe with a soft, dry cloth every time you return home. We also recommend that you disinfect your phone two to three times a week.

• Use disinfecting wipes and soft dry cloths. Stay away from bleach, bathroom cleaners or other abrasive cleansers
• Remove the phone’s case. Wipe the phone and its case with the dry cloth
• Clean the phone and the case with wipes. Don’t oversaturate the surface, but make sure you wipe the ports and buttons
• Allow the phone to air-dry for five minutes, then wipe it dry with a new dry cloth

Your Home or Business Could Use Disinfecting, Too

As the CDC says, all the high-touch surfaces in your home or business should be regularly cleaned: faucets, light switches, railings, and more. Last year, in response to the pandemic, SERVPRO created a new cleaning program called Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned. This proactive deep cleaning service uses hospital-grade cleansers, proven procedures and SERVPRO’s highly-trained staff to exceed CDC standards, assuring you that you have done all you can to protect the health of your family or employees and customers.

And Now a Word from Our Satisfied Customers

3/29/2021 (Permalink)

We love making people happy! Read what our satisfied customers in central Connecticut say about our water and fire damage restoration services.

We work hard to be the best, most reliable choice for fire and water damage restoration services in the Glastonbury/Wethersfield area of Connecticut—as shown by our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certification and our Better Business Bureau A+ rating.

We are proud to earn many positive reviews on Google and other sites. Don’t take our word for it—here’s why our customers are happy with our service.

Like Inviting Family Over

“Thank you for all that you have done. … A small leak that we had for a while with our water heater turned into a large pipe break. The humidity trapped in the basement over the few years from ignoring the small leak had started a small mold problem, also. Working with SERVPRO® really felt like inviting family over; they were there for us through the whole process.”

Love These Guys

“I love these guys! They have the right protection and responded so fast when my basement flooded. There was no way I was going down there after I saw that my animals’ excretions were floating around. These guys can handle getting down and dirty!”

Couldn’t Be More Grateful

“Our pool broke open, facing the basement door that was open. An unthinkable tidal wave hit our basement and we were in both shock and a little laughter. SERVPRO came that very afternoon and got to work faster than I have seen anyone! We couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, SERVPRO.”

Such a Good Job

“This last wind storm blew a huge tree down on my garage. The rain was ruining all my tools and stored furniture. SERVPRO came right out and cut the tree, in the rain! Boarded up the holes and added tarps to be double sure. They did such a good job! Thanks so much!”

Came Out Right Away

“I had a small kitchen fire and SERVPRO came out right away. They helped with the insurance and did a great job with the cleanup. Thanks, guys!”

First Company I Call

“SERVPRO is a very professional and reliable clean-up service, especially when it comes to water damage. Our first-floor toilet broke and leaked a tremendous amount of water into the basement. The ceiling was so bloated with water that part of it actually collapsed before I found it.

SERVPRO Earns a Top 10 Franchise Ranking

3/25/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO emerged from a challenging year in a strong position. Call us when you need the best water or fire damage remediation.

In 2020, Americans endured the challenges of a worldwide pandemic and the subsequent economic upheaval; big changes to the way many people get work done; and new levels of isolation. Meanwhile, many parts of the U.S. experienced severe, record-setting storms and wildfires. And, we rediscovered disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer!

SERVPRO®, too, faced the challenges of a disrupted business environment. But, by responding to the new landscape with a proactive deep cleaning service, the SERVPRO parent corporation came out of 2020 in a healthy position.

“In 2020, SERVPRO franchises across the U.S. and Canada responded to numerous natural disasters, such as hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and East Coast and wildfires in the West. But it was the launch of SERVPRO’s new disinfecting and COVID-19 cleanup service that tested and proved the company’s resolve,” SERVPRO CEO Rick Isaacson said.

SERVPRO’s investment in this new service, called Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned, helped the company and its 1,900-plus franchises thrive in a difficult year. That performance was reflected in SERVPRO earning a spot in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top 10 overall franchise opportunities for the first time since 2016. And, for nearly the twentieth years in a row, SERVPRO was named the #1 cleaning and restoration industry franchise.

“SERVPRO’s #10 overall ranking is a result of the hard work our franchises, their crews, and our dedicated headquarters team put in while many businesses were not so lucky,” Isaacson said. “So many businesses were negatively impacted, slowed or closed due to the pandemic. When COVID forced much of the world to slow down or step back, our team stepped up and did what it took, whether that was cleaning businesses so they could reopen safely or disinfecting first responders’ vehicles—many of those at no cost—to give back to those working every day to keep us safe. We’re basically a first-response company, so we go in when everyone else is running out.”

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is one of four central Connecticut SERVPRO franchises owned and managed by Noemi Garcia. Thanks to her commitment to providing quality cleaning and restoration services and outstanding customer service, the Garcia team has consistently ranked among the top SERVPRO franchises. No matter the challenges, the cleanup and restoration experts at SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield are ready to respond to your fire, water, storm, mold or biohazard cleanup needs.

SERVPRO Dedicated to Employing Veterans

12/17/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO values the skills that many veterans gain during their military services.

At a ceremony at the U.S. Department of Labor in November 2020, U.S. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia presented SERVPRO® Industries, LLC with a 2020 HIRE Vets Medallion Gold Award.

SERVPRO earned this recognition for its commitment to hiring veterans and working with them to develop and execute long-term career and growth plans. SERVPRO has long been committed to employing vets and putting to good use the diverse skills often gained in military service.

“We are proud to receive this award as symbol of our commitment to hiring the brave men and women who served our country,” said SERVPRO Veterans Programs Specialist Jamie Peters. “SERVPRO Industries, LLC prioritizes hiring veterans because we share like-minded values, dedication and selfless mentality to serving others. Veterans are a good fit for us, and we are committed to developing these veterans within the company. They make us a better organization, and we are thankful for their service."

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield shares this commitment to hiring veterans of military service. And we are proud to be affiliated with a corporation that values the work of military vets while creating an environment where they can build careers that are productive, satisfying and enduring.

About the HIRE Vets Medallion Award

Created to recognize employers who consistently recruit, hire and retain veterans, the federal HIRE Vets (Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans) Act Medallion Program honored 675 companies and organizations in 2020.

The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is presented to businesses that demonstrate unparalleled commitment to attracting and retaining veterans. The Silver and Gold Awards are based on a number of criteria, ranging from veteran hiring and retention to providing veteran-specific resources, leadership programming, dedicated human resources, and compensation and tuition assistance programs.

SERVPRO Restores Your Damaged Documents, Too

11/19/2020 (Permalink)

Not every damage remediation company can restore your important documents, but the experts at SERVPRO can!

It’s bad enough when a water, fire, storm or biohazard disaster hits your home or building and you are left to pick up the pieces. You’re often faced with the need to clean out the damage to your structure, repair or reconstruct your building, remove and restore many of your furnishings and belongings, and then get everything put back together. This can be overwhelming, and that’s why calling SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is the best way to have the job done professionally, from start to finish.

But there’s another task you’ll be facing, too: restoring all your important documents. Don’t get overwhelmed, though, because SERVPRO’s technicians are experts in the delicate process of document restoration, thanks to our years of experience, sophisticated training and access to the latest technology, equipment and supplies.

What We Restore

Businesses often need these documents restored after a fire or water disaster:

• Financial records
• Legal documents
• Project documentation
• Personnel files
• Maps and blueprints

Homeowners look to SERVPRO® to restore these documents and more:

• Financial and legal records
• Medical records
• Letters and personal papers
• Photographs
• Books

How We Restore Your Documents

When it comes to restoring documents—and all of your possessions—we work fast to halt the damage in its tracks. We start with an inventory of your documents, then take these and your other possessions to our secure central Connecticut warehouse facility for cleaning and storage. With your confidentiality in mind, we perform all work on your sensitive documents according to HIPAA standards and under 24/7 video surveillance.

The technologies we use to restore documents are the most advanced in the industry:

• Vacuum freeze-drying, which is also used to restore historical documents owned by the National Archives and Records Administration, the Library of Congress and the General Service Administration
• Gamma irradiation to sterilize and destroy any traces of pathogens from documents damaged by sewage, toxins or floods

After we have restored the paper versions, we also offer the option of digitizing your documents. With a digital backup, your important documents will be protected from water and fire damage, they’ll be accessible any time from any device, you’ll be able to share them quickly and easily, and you’ll save storage space.

Why and How We Focus on Safety

7/10/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield protects the well-being of our employees through comprehensive safety training and procedures.

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield believes in protecting the health and safety of its workers—our field crews, warehouse workers and home office staff—so that they can help our customers recover from a fire, water, storm or biohazard disaster. SERVPRO® trains our employees to handle any situation that may arise on the job. With an increased awareness of how even small actions or lapses can become a real hazard to health, our employees are trained and equipped to adhere to a higher standard of safety.

In 2019, our franchise owner hired a new safety coordinator who comes to us with more than twenty years of experience in construction and warehouse management. Rhonda explains that she “likes to learn new things and do different things.” SERVPRO is benefitting from that attitude—these are just some of the new safety initiatives that she has put into place within the last year:

Overall Safety

• We provide our training programs and videos in both English and Spanish.
• Each month, the safety coordinator meets with crew chiefs for a general review of safety measures and results, and plans for new policies and training.

Vehicle Safety

• We instruct workers in the correct operation of forklifts.
• We inspect our trucks and forklifts every day.
• We consistently assign each truck to a specific crew to increase familiarity and safety.

Equipment and Product Safety

• We provide new training in fitting and wearing N-95 respirator masks, so that each worker has a mask that is the right size, is fitted correctly and sealed tightly to the face, while allowing adequate breathing.
• We equip each crew and crew chief with duffel bags that contain hard hats, goggles, safety vests, shoulder dolly straps for heavy loads and our chemical information binder.
• We check every truck daily to be sure it has a first aid kit, eyewash station and fire extinguisher.
• We document our cleaning service products in a binder that explains appropriate uses, required protective equipment and procedures for use. Not only are our workers up to date on our products, they can easily answer customer questions.
• We train our workers to properly lift heavy loads and use shoulder dolly straps.

Fire Safety

• We train our crews to correctly use fire extinguishers, generators and third plug adapters.
• We equip each piece of equipment and every truck with a third plug adapter, which allows our grounded equipment to be used safely in older homes that lack grounding outlets.
• Every month, we inspect and date all fire extinguishers so that we know they are always ready to use.

Blood-Borne Pathogen Safety

• We created enhanced training in the safe processing and disposal of blood-borne pathogens.
• We equip each crew with a blood-borne pathogen duffel bag that includes hazmat suits, thick gloves, tweezers, needle containers and sealable bags for waste disposal.
• We have located secure metal storage containers in our parking lot, where bagged blood-borne waste is stored before being picked up by a vendor for final disposal.

Guard Against Virus Contamination at Your Home and Business

4/27/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is the experienced, reliable resource for virus disinfection at your home or business.

The threat posed by viruses, bacteria and other pathogens can range from mild to deadly. While effective treatments and vaccines are available for many familiar diseases, a previously unknown pathogen has the capability to rapidly sweep the globe, leaving us all vulnerable to infection and lacking any reliable treatment.

Many viral pathogens spread mainly through personal contact, especially between people who are within about six feet of one another. Transmission occurs when an infected person coughs or sneezes and produces airborne respiratory droplets. These drops travel through the air and can be inhaled by others, infecting them. To prevent transmission, medical experts advise not gathering in large groups and keeping at least a six-foot distance from others.

It may also be possible to catch a virus by touching a surface or object that has virus cells on it, then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Research indicates that viral pathogens can live on surfaces from a few hours to a few days. For this reason, experts strongly recommend washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching your face. Obviously, disinfecting the surfaces of objects, furniture and fixtures can play a key role in reducing viral or bacterial contamination.

The CDC Recommends Proactive Cleaning

According to the CDC, “Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of … viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.” Visit the CDC’s website for the latest and most accurate information on the current crisis and viral pathogens.

To protect your family—or if you own a business, your customers and employees—call on SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield to provide professional proactive cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection of commercial and residential properties to minimize the transmission of emergent viral pathogens. At a time of peril, SERVPRO can offer homeowners and business owners extra reassurance that their homes and facilities are clean, disinfected—and safe.

The SERVPRO corporation has always emphasized having the expertise, training, equipment and personnel to respond to just about any disaster, even the most unexpected. Do what you can to keep your family and friends, customers and employees safer now with proactive cleaning of your home or business—just call SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield today.

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield will clean, sanitize and disinfect your home or business to eradicate traces of viral and bacterial pathogens. Whether you think your structure may have been contaminated or not, SERVPRO is ready to help prevent future exposure within your building.

Reminder: Although SERVPRO’s cleaning process can remove existing viral pathogens, understand that structures we clean proactively are not protected from future contamination if an infected person subsequently enters the building.

Virus Protection for Your Home and Business

Whether you want to make sure that your home or commercial building is free from contamination or you have a suspected contamination, rely on SERVPRO to restore your peace of mind, health and safety.

When a family member has been infected by a virus, proactive cleaning by SERVPRO can reduce the risk of exposure for other residents of the home and relieve their worries over becoming infected.

Business owners, likewise, can protect the health of their employees and customers with our proactive cleaning service. With a call to SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield, you will make it clear that your business is doing all it can to protect the health of your customers and the public. Not only that, but you will be helping to keep Americans—those you know and those you’ll never meet—safer.

For businesses that have had to curtail operations: once you prepare to open your doors again, hiring SERVPRO to thoroughly clean and sanitize your facility before you allow workers, customers and the public inside will demonstrate that your business is a safe place to be.

Many types of businesses will benefit from SERVPRO’s proactive cleaning, which targets contamination from viral and bacterial pathogens:

• Restaurants and bars
• Retail stores
• Offices, especially medical offices
• Schools
• Nursing homes, senior centers and rehabilitation facilities
• Gyms
• Hotels, B&Bs and other hospitality sites
• Libraries
• Theaters and entertainment venues
• Apartment buildings
• Factories and warehouses

Five Ways We Were Ready for a Crisis

SERVPRO has built its business on being prepared for disasters with the right know-how, equipment and staffing. We are uniquely ready to provide proactive cleaning of viral pathogens for several reasons.

Our Crews

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is one of four top-performing local SERVPRO franchises—the others are SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield, SERVPRO of West Hartford and SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield—that are owned and operated by Ralph and Noemi DiCristofaro. With the resources of four franchises, we can get to your job faster, and we allocate staff and equipment—thousands of pieces of equipment and dozens of trucks and other vehicles—as needed to tackle the really big, urgent jobs.

At all times, we are fully staffed and prepared for your most challenging job. Our employees are trained in the use of all our equipment and cleaning products, and we adhere to rigorous safety training and procedures for their protection. Further, commercial and residential customers have counted on SERVPRO for specialized cleanup of biohazards. We know how to handle dangerous chemical and blood-borne pathogen contamination safely, and we know how to clean up after ourselves and dispose of all waste properly.

Our Protective Gear

We are well-supplied with the appropriate personal protective gear for the job. If there is no indication that your facility or home has been contaminated by viral or other pathogens, our crew will wear mid-grade protective suits, but if contamination is suspected or confirmed, they will wear thicker top-grade suits with integrated boots and hoods. Every crewmember wears an individually fit-tested N-95 mask to ensure total protection.

Our Cleaning Products

We use hospital-grade cleaning and disinfecting products, which are safe to use and effective at killing germs, to eradicate viral and bacterial pathogens. At times of crisis, these products can be difficult, if not impossible, for other vendors to locate, but SERVPRO, thanks to its early planning and strong purchasing network, possesses a substantial supply of pathogen-fighting cleaners and disinfectants.

Our Cleaning Process

We attack viral and bacterial contamination with a two-stage approach. First, we seal off your home or business and fog it with cleaning and disinfecting agents. Using electrostatic sprayers and misters, this delivery method allows the agents to penetrate deeply into hard-to-clean crevices.

Our staff then performs hands-on cleaning and disinfecting of every flat surface, including furniture, fixtures and objects, leaving the disinfectant in place for the CDC-recommended amount of time necessary to kill disease-causing germs.

Our Coverage

Don’t worry about additional liability when you hire SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield. We are one of more than 1,800 SERVPRO damage restoration and cleaning franchises across the United States, and we are fully insured against contamination or any other hazards we may encounter.

We Clean and Disinfect Thoroughly, Throughout Your Home or Business

Meeting or exceeding the CDC’s guidelines, SERVPRO cleans and disinfects high-touch surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards and tablets. (Cleaning removes the soil and dirt that harbors infectious agents, while disinfecting kills the remaining environmental pathogens.)

We treat these and other areas of the home or business:

Throughout

• light switches
• doorknobs
• floors: hard surfaces/wood
• carpets, rugs and mats
• hallway and stairwell handrails
• water fountains

Kitchen/food areas

• tables and chairs
• countertops and tabletops
• cabinets and pulls
• food contact surfaces

Other

Cleaning (Porous and Non-Porous Surfaces)

Cleaning—using a detergent and water to physically remove germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces and objects—can remove but doesn’t necessarily destroy viruses on porous and non-porous surfaces. Because many viruses are encased in fatty envelopes, however, it is likely that the same soaps that break down grease can pierce that outer envelope and inactivate a viral pathogen, too. It’s easier to remove contamination from smooth, non-porous surfaces than from porous surfaces, such as upholstery or carpeting.

We wet-clean non-porous materials, such as hard-surface floors, cabinets, countertops, doorknobs and plumbing fixtures, with a variety of SERVPRO hard-surface cleaners (general purpose) and cleaning methods.

We wet-clean porous, nonwater-sensitive materials, such as carpet, area rugs, upholstered items and draperies, using a hot water extraction or preconditioner-and-rinse method.

Note: Cleaning methods typically used on water-sensitive materials, such as vacuuming or dry sponging, are generally not effective because they do not remove enough soil and residue. Some materials, such as paper and paper products, cannot be cleaned with detergent and water without being damaged.

Disinfection (Non-Porous Surfaces)

SERVPRO follows CDC guidelines to disinfect with a labeled hospital-grade disinfectant, which are known to kill germs and disinfect non-porous surfaces or objects. We spray or mist these chemicals and let the disinfectant remain on the surface for ten minutes, sufficient to kill germs.

According to the CDC’s recommendations, we use disinfecting wipes on electronic items that are frequently touched, such as phones and computers, repeating with additional wipes to keep the surface wet for the recommended length of contact time.

Note: Many porous surfaces, such as carpets, area rugs, upholstered items and draperies, cannot be disinfected.

Safety is First

SERVPRO cleaned prioritizes the health and safety of our professionals. We thoroughly train and equip our crews to handle potentially contaminated areas and materials.

On the job, our employees don personal protective equipment, including individually-fitted N-95 masks, appropriate protective suit with integrated hood and boots, nitrile gloves and goggles. As we work to rid your home or place of business of viral or bacterial contamination, we routinely clean and disinfect our own tools and equipment to avoid spreading any germs.

Once we have finished cleaning your home or business, our crew bags and returns towels to the SERVPRO facility for laundering, and bags, removes and disposes of its waste products (such as used gloves, wipes and disposable masks)—leaving nothing behind but a clean and disinfected building.

The company grew over the years, eventually becoming a franchisor of cleanup and restoration specialists. By the mid-1980s, the Isaacsons had grown their business to almost 650 franchises, and by 2000, they oversaw 1,000 franchises.

Rick has worked for SERVPRO for thirty years and oversaw the implementation of our national training program and our nationwide advertising program. In total, SERVPRO’s top corporate management team has an average of twenty years with the firm.

The roots of SERVPRO’s success lie in our One Team culture:

SERVPRO: Your Weapon Against MRSA

12/19/2019 (Permalink)

Stay healthy! MRSA is one of the biohazards that SERVPRO cleans and sanitizes at homes and businesses.

SERVPRO® is known for its quick and thorough disaster remediation of fire, water, storm, mold and other damage at homes and businesses throughout the U.S. But you may not know that SERVPRO can protect people from dangerous and sometimes fatal MRSA infections! Because our professionals are trained to safely handle the worst biohazards, they know how to sanitize facilities to remove all traces of MRSA and other germs.

What Is MRSA?

MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is a common strain of bacteria, which can cause infections in the bloodstream, lungs, bones or soft tissues. Staph is typically curable with antibiotics, but some staph strains have become resistant to our most effective antibiotics—including methicillin—and are now much more difficult to eradicate. Usually, these MRSA infections take root in already-ill persons who are in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

Another type of MRSA is often called a “superbug,” because it causes drug-resistant infections in previously healthy people. This type of infection is referred to as CA-MRSA, or community-acquired MRSA, and it usually manifests as a skin infection. You may have heard of CA-MRSA outbreaks affecting healthy adults and children in schools, gyms, locker rooms, prisons and other public buildings.

To prevent a MRSA infection, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advises:

• Keep wounds covered
• Practice good basic hygiene
• Do not share personal items, such as towels or razors
• Launder soiled clothing
• Clean surfaces that people may contact

How SERVPRO Fights MRSA and Other Biohazards

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield is trained to safely remove biohazards and dispose of them properly in accordance with OSHA and health regulations. We have the necessary safety equipment, cleaning products and established procedures to transform unhealthy environments back into clean, safe homes and offices.

In the case of an active MRSA outbreak, our crews arrive ready to clean and sanitize building materials, surfaces and all contents to eradicate the bacteria. Because we stand ready around the clock to respond quickly to any disaster, a call to SERVPRO will reduce the time your facility will have to be closed, minimizing your loss of money and reputation.

Help Prevent a MRSA Outbreak at Your Commercial Property

Many commercial facilities at risk of a MRSA outbreak—such as schools, medical facilities, long-term care facilities, gyms, etc.—proactively contract with SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield for regular cleaning services. With SERVPRO’s crews at your facility, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing all surfaces on a regular basis, you will reduce your chances of experiencing an outbreak of MRSA or other infectious disease—and you’ll safeguard the health of your employees and customers.

If you've suffered a disaster at your home, SERVPRO will clean and care for your possessions securely and professionally.

Suffering a fire, smoke, water, sewage or storm disaster leaves you feeling so vulnerable, as both your home and your clothing, furniture and other treasured possessions may have been damaged or destroyed. SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield not only handles every aspect of restoring your home, we also treat your possessions with the utmost care.

Earlier in 2019, SERVPRO® rolled out a new digital inventory system that tracks your possessions while we clean and store them and repair your home. We know at a glance the location of your items as well as their status: being cleaned or in storage.

A Secure Process, End to End

SERVPRO cares for 100% of your possessions. The process starts at your home, where our project manager evaluates each item to determine the necessary treatment. While you watch, we photograph each item, then secure your furniture in blankets and fragile items in bubble wrap. Then we wrap everything in plastic, label it with your name and unique QR-code. Smaller personal items are boxed, photographed, sealed and labeled.

Once all is packed, you review and sign off on a tracking form that lists all the items with photos. Further on in the process, this list can form the basis of your insurance claim. We then load your wrapped possessions into storage containers or vaults (also labeled and QR-coded) and transport everything to our storage and operations facility in Bloomfield. Constructed in 2015, it is one of the largest SERVPRO warehouses in the nation.

With a scan, SERVPRO staff can immediately tell if a particular item needs cleaning, is being or has been cleaned (and when) or is waiting in a secure storage container. We entrust certain items, like smoke-damaged clothing, or unique possessions, like pianos or pool tables, to our network of reliable specialty cleaners. When a homeowner needs to retrieve items before the restoration is completed—documents for insurance claims or the contents of a kitchen, for example—we can quickly locate the items in our inventory system.

An Unbroken Chain of Custody

Once all items have been returned to your home, you review and sign off on the original tracking form to ensure that all your items are present, clean and in good condition. Thanks to our proven procedures and bolstered by our digital inventory system, we ensure an unbroken chain of custody while your possessions are in our care.

When your home and possessions have been damaged by a wind, water or fire event, nothing is more important than restoring everything “Like it never even happened.” Depend on SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield to care for your possessions with the highest security and care!

Crews from three SERVPRO franchises responded to this scene in 2018 and handled most of the cleanup. Photo credit: Mikaela Porter / Hartford Courant

Raw sewage floating down the street ... five feet of water in basements ... more than 20 homes flooded. What a disaster! Fast, professional remediation is needed and soon!

SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield recently partnered with two other nearby SERVPRO® franchises (owned by the same management team) to successfully tackle a water disaster that numerous other disaster remediation companies couldn’t handle. On October 3, 2018 water and sewer lines in West Hartford, Connecticut were being replaced when a 60-foot-long section of new pipe liner collapsed after a rainstorm. The resulting blockage forced waste water to gush into the street. Before long, the basements of almost two dozen homes in the neighborhood were flooded and four families were displaced.

The first SERVPRO teams to arrive found a nasty scene: the street and many driveways were flooded with dark, foul water and multiple homes were inundated with the reeking biohazard. The crews went into action, pumping out basements, drying out structures and property and removing damaged items.

When you need disaster remediation—big or small—at your home or business, SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield today at 860.633.8791

All four SERVPRO franchises owned by Noemi Garcia (SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield, SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield, SERVPRO of West Hartford, and SERVPRO of Glastonbury/Wethersfield) sent crews and equipment to tackle this extraordinary and rapidly-worsening disaster. Together, these franchises own thousands of pieces of equipment and scores of vehicles, and employ more than a hundred professionals. Those resources of equipment and manpower allow us to respond rapidly to disasters of just about any size and type.

Biohazard Cleanup Pros to the Rescue

One key to our success on the West Hartford sewage disaster was our expertise in biohazard cleanup. All our crews are up to date in OSHA training and state health regulations. They were ready for even the toughest job!

Although other disaster remediation companies were called to the scene, each one dropped out of the project after initial work—they couldn’t keep up with the amount and difficulty of the remediation efforts needed.

In the end, SERVPRO cleaned the majority of the affected houses, drying and disinfecting structures and property. On this incredibly challenging and urgent disaster, SERVPRO safely and promptly restored homes, property and lives.

Why SERVPRO's History Is Important To You

12/19/2018 (Permalink)

Trust. Experience. Expertise. SERVPRO provides them and more.

When you choose a doctor part of your decision depends on the doctor’s experience and track record of success, right? When you’re looking for a car mechanic you probably prefer one with lots of satisfied customers and many years in the business. And we bet you’d probably feel better selecting a financial advisor who has helped several friends you know achieve their financial goals.

All of this relates to why so many people who have water, fire, or storm cleanup and restoration needs choose SERVPRO®. It’s about our history, our satisfied customers, and our track record of success.    

Ted and Doris Isaacson launched SERVPRO in 1967 as a painting business in Sacramento, California. They transformed the company into a franchisor of cleanup and restoration specialists. They were so successful that by 1988 they had 647 franchises. Twelve years later SERVPRO had grown to 1,000 franchises. Today we have 1,800+.

Awards & Recognition
After years of hard work, SERVPRO began gaining recognition and awards for quality service. One of the first was when The Nashville Business Journal named SERVPRO the Small Business of the Year in 1991. Entrepreneur Magazine ranked SERVPRO the #4 franchise opportunity overall and the #1 franchise opportunity in the restoration services category in 2016. And on and on.
