Mold that has established itself behind wallpaper is often overlooked until it gets bad enough to stain through the paper. By that time, the health and well-being of the homeowners may be compromised, and the wallboard behind the wallpaper may be damaged beyond repair. The only way SERVPRO is able to remove the mold is to first remove the wallpaper.

This mold is the aftermath of a long standing moisture issue in a home in Benton, PA. Mold actually comes in a variety of colors (black, green or even blue) and shapes. 

This was the aftermath of local flooding. After the water receded, the basement floor and contents were left with a thick coating of mud and muck. SERVPRO cleaned up the mud and dried out the structure to make it "Like it never even happened."

It only takes a small water leak, or even excess humidity, for mold to form in your Bloomsburg home or business. Then, mold can spread quickly through the property in as little as 48 hours. Mold can produce allergens and irritants, and it has the potential to cause other health effects. If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

This is an example of just some of our equipment that SERVPRO uses. We have many different sizes and styles of air movers and dehumidifiers, which all serve a specific purpose. 

When the temperatures are too cold in a property,  we are able to bring in our desiccant dehumidifier! This unit is able to be laid down, which is great for crawlspaces and attics.

This is a view of our hardwood floor drying mat system. The mats allow us to draw moisture right through the surface of the floor, which in turn alleviates the need of removing the floor.

This is a view of a soot web! We have many customers apologize for their "spider" webs when we arrive onsite. We explain to them that they are soot webs...The soot webs are a sure sign that the smoke traveled into that room. When there are soot webs, we hepa vacuum the area prior to cleaning. We will then either wash and rinse the area or use a dry chemical sponge,  depending on if its a flat paint or gloss paint, to clean the affected areas to ensure that the homeowner will return to a safe and clean environment.

If you see these soot webs, call SERVPRO of Columbia, Montour & Sullivan Counties at 570-759-0966.

SERVPRO doing what it takes to get the job DONE!

SERVPRO was called to a local school in Bloomsburg, PA to clean-up after a 
sprinkler system freeze up in multiple areas of the building. The water damage necessitated most of the children, pre-school age, to be picked up by their parents, so the work could progress. Wet carpet and hard floors were extracted, vinyl cove base removed, toys and furniture were moved to drier areas, air movers and dehumidifiers were placed. SERVPRO personnel worked around the plumbers, who were opening walls up to find leaks and also worked around the sprinkler repair personnel. Some areas were extracted twice, due to additional leaks being found when system was tested. Most equipment was removed within 3 days, harder to dry areas were complete 
with-in 6 days, but the school was able to continue with operating, around that equipment. 

We have all seen fire/smoke damage to a home, but do you know that smoke can pressurize inside the walls? This picture shows the smoke coming out of the wall around a receptacle. Sometimes it is the smoke you don't see that can do the most damage. There are instances where the walls need to be removed to remove the insulation that may be behind it. The insulation will trap and hold the smoke smell, which can make it difficult to deodorize.

This is a view of our SERVPRO fleet. We have two extracting units, a box van, cargo van, and marketing vehicles. We are always ready to handle any emergency you may have.

This is just one example of a service SERVPRO provides. This is called "floating" the carpet. Floating the carpet is accomplished by lifting the carpet and removing pad, if necessary, and then placing air movers as needed around the area to dry the carpet. We can salvage the carpet by floating, dependent on the type of loss.. If the carpet was contaminated by sewage or is delaminating due to age, the carpet would be removed.
