Fire Damage Cleanup in Malden

This garage suffered structural devastation requiring demolition and then reconstruction.

Malden Basement Flooding

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.

Malden Daycare Center and Water Repair Services

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.

Malden Fire Damage Cleanup Needed

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.

What Is Thermal Imaging?

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.

SERVPRO professionals use PPE (personal protective equipment)

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.

Fire Cleaning Chem Sponges

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.

Flash Flooding in Lynn, MA

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.

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

Rain, Snow, Sleet or Nor'easter

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!

DIRECTED HEAT DRYING™

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!

Low Grain Refrigerant Dehumidifiers

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 Generator

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.

Desiccant Dehumidifier on Commercial Building

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.

Moisture Meter

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.

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)

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. 

Containment in Use During Mold Remediation

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.

Covered Stairs to Avoid Tracking of Contaminates

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.

Mushrooms Growing in the Carpet?

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.

Post Construction Cleaning of Hospital Cafeteria

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!
