The slight leak from a PEX line by the light fixture in this Malden home resulted in the observed water damage. We can repair the pin-leak and patch the ceiling, "Like it never even happened."

The visible mold growth on the ceiling of this tiled bathroom area in a Malden bathroom requires controlled deconstruction. Our SERVPRO team can limit the demolition, treat the exposed voids, and then install new sheetrock and tiles where needed.

The restroom in this Malden office leaked water from failed plumbing into the main area, as shown in the Photo. SERVPRO arrived within the hour to remove the water and then set up drying equipment to restore standard Relative Humidity RH. No lasting water damage and no demolition needed.

The damaged roof caused by the fallen limbs during a severe wind storm required immediate action to mitigate the storm's impact. SERVPRO can swiftly respond to this house in Malden, removed the tree, and secure the damaged area with plywood and tarps. Our goal is to prevent another wave of damaged caused by rain or vermin.

This apartment in Linden is covered with soot and some material damage caused by that "left alone" candle. Our SERVPRO equipment is now drying out the water left behind when putting the fire out. We can work on this unit for several days to finally make the tenants feel "Like it never even happened."

The Photo shows how our SERVPRO team proceeded to mitigate the water damage in this Malden strip center vacant property. Flood cuts, to remove the non-salvageable wallboard, and removal of just a few resilient tiles, diminish the build-back cost and time. The air movers are completing the drying process.

This house in Malden was cluttered by a hoarder. SERVPRO dealt with the customers empathetically and removed and discarded various contents from the structure. The air scrubber is helping to purify the air to improve indoor air quality.

The adjoining restroom plumbing sprung a leak and soaked the commercial-grade, glued-down carpeting in this Malden building. SERVPRO responded swiftly to vacuum up the water, remove the trim work, and set up the equipment as shown in the Photo. Our air movers and dehumidifiers can get the job done with minimal fuss to the office routines.

This structure in Linden requires extensive post-storm cleanup, demolition, and drying before it can be reconstructed as a safe living space. SERVPRO can begin the process as we now complete the drying. Call us when you suffer flooding; we can help.

This garage suffered structural devastation requiring demolition and then reconstruction. SERVPRO explained to the customer not to store flammable products in an enclosed garage which can lead to a lost Malden home. Our team quickly removed the charred debris to lessen the pungent odors and also to minimize safety risks.

The frozen water line burst and flooded this basement in Malden with several inches of water. This was clean water, not contaminated yet if extracted with a day. SERVPRO responded, removed the liquid and the lower section of the wallboard, as shown in the Photo.

SERVPRO skilled technicians rigged a positive airflow system into the attic crawl space above this laundry room in Malden. The roof leak from rainwater, was stopped by placing a temporary blue tarp over the damaged portion. We have the knowledge and experience to expedite the water damage recovery for our customers.

The water soaked the carpet in this DayCare center in Malden that was being remodeled by another company. SERVPRO arrived to dry out the wet area and moved some construction material out of harm's way. We worked fast to minimize the disruption. We did spray a disinfectant on the wet surfaces since kids are crawling around and playing.

The poly sheeting protects the sofa and fabrics from adborbing water vapor during the drying process after the flooding in a Malden home. SERVPRO did a partial demolition of non-salvageable wall and ceiling materials.

The blackened soot covering the interior structure of this A-frame home in Malden caused several problems. The acidic nature erodes the surface materials; the sooner they are removed, the better. SERVPRO can do this and also start the smoke odor remediation.

The water tank supply line burst in this Malden home a soaked the hardwood flooring, base cabinets, and walls with water. SERVPRO arrives within hours to mitigate the water damage and prevent the need for demolition of any of the contents or planks. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

In the most basic of terms, thermal imaging allows you too see an object’s heat radiating off itself (see this cat who was trapped in a wall..and rescued!!). Thermal cameras more or less record the temperature of various objects in the frame, and then assign each temperature a shade of a color, which lets you see how much heat its radiating compared to objects around it.

Colder temperatures are often given a shade of blue, purple, or green, while warmer temperatures can be assigned a shade of red, orange, or yellow.

The use of thermal imaging cameras can be a beneficial tool at SERVPRO when trying to find hidden moisture within wall cavities and building content. Our project managers are specialized in reading temperature differentials, which can help track the migration of water through brick walls, hidden insulation, and more.

The SERVPRO Commercial Large Loss Division is composed of our best of the best in restoration. Our elite large-loss specialists are prequalified and strategically positioned throughout the United States to handle any size disaster.

Every large loss is supervised by a commercial operations manager to help ensure seamless communication and timely mitigation.

At SERVPRO, the difference is our ability to dispatch trained production professionals and cut costs through the strategic placement and oversight of temporary labor. 

Get the professionals, call SERVPRO of Malden/Melrose at 781-665-6396.

SERVPRO professionals use PPE (personal protective equipment) that consists of safety goggles, rubber boots, rubber gloves, full body protective gear, and a respirator designed for areas with high moisture levels. The respirator, in particular, is important because it prevents our technicians from inhaling airborne contaminants, such as mold, during the restoration process. 

Another great event by the Melrose Chamber of Commerce.
Perfect weather for trick-or-treating and the kids all looked amazing in their costumes!!

SERVPRO of Malden/Melrose is happy to support the @Melrose Firefighter's 5K

MELROSE FIREFIGHTERS ROAD RACE 5K

on Sunday, June 17th. It's a great day for a great cause. Come on down!!

The Chem Sponge is used for removal of dry dirt, dust, hair and smoke/soot residues. On a lot of surfaces we try to avoid wet cleaning which often leads to smearing, smudging or staining and we can actually do more damage on certain surfaces than the fire did. These 2″ thick, porous dry cleaning chemical sponges are used primarily in smoke and soot removal in fire damage jobs. They work like large “erasers”, these rubber sponges drawing the dust, soot and smoke residue into the cells of the sponge material.

The combination of high tide and torrential rain led to flash floods across the North Shore.  Particularly hard hit was the Munroe Street area in Lynn.  SERVPRO of Malden/Melrose was onsite during the flooding assisting many commercial  properties with flooding and water damage.

When you call SERVPRO of Malden/Melrose we will be there; even right in the middle of a Nor'easter snowstorm and we have to shovel our way right up to your front door!

TES  - Thermal Energy System

TES is a unique water damage restoration system that utilizes Directed Heat Drying™ and the "Reets Evaporation Method" combining controlled heat and air flow to produce high-speed evaporation, dramatically improving the drying process for the fastest drying ever!

LGR Dehumidifiers are an essential tool in the drying and restoration process. SERVPRO has the largest supply of dehumidifiers nationwide, and we can have as many needed on a jobsite within 12 hours.

Ozone generators can have many applications in the restoration process. Used to combat heavy odors, ozone generation changes the chemical makeup of the oxygen, helping to remove odors from fire damages, biohazard contamination, animal odors, and more.

Trailer mounted Desiccant Dehumidifiers can often be the ideal and only way to dry large buildings with excessive water damage and moisture, Designed to supply the building with extremely dry air, SERVPRO can have these delivered to a jobsite often times the same day to begin the drying process.

When you call us for a water damage, our production manager may use a moisture meter to test whether there is any water hiding underneath the floors or inside the walls. This is the same moisture meter we will use throughout the job to record the moisture readings and document our success.

In every water restoration job, our goal is to return the building to its preloss condition. In some buildings, this will require we take readings in unaffected rooms to determine the target for preloss condition.

SERVPRO professionals use PPE (personal protective equipment) that consists of safety goggles, rubber boots, rubber gloves, full body protective gear, and a respirator designed for areas with high moisture levels. The respirator, in particular, is important because it prevents our technicians from inhaling airborne contaminants, such as mold, during the restoration process. 

SERVPRO uses various containment procedures to prevent the spread of mold, soot, construction dust or other contaminates. We may also use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the contaminates from spreading during the cleanup process. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent any cross contamination.

During a fire or soot cleanup SERVPRO technicians cover stairs and areas that are not affected with plastic poly sheeting and stick pads to avoid tracking and cross contamination of soot particles.

Yes! Carpet mushroom are a real thing.  SERPVRO Malden/Melrose was called to inspect this bathroom in the basement of a commercial building that was seldom used.

Bathrooms are particularly well-suited for sprouting mushrooms. High heat, excess moisture and low lighting provide the perfect growing conditions that allow mushrooms to flourish on bathroom carpets, floors, walls or even ceilings, particularly around areas where moisture collects or pools.

Union Hospital asked SERVPRO of Malden/Melrose to come in and do a post construction cleaning of their cafeteria.  Six of our crew members worked all night to make sure the cafeteria would be sparkling clean and just in time to reopen in the morning for breakfast. 

Just look at that shine!
