Disinfection services should be considered for your business or commercial property whenever there is a potential risk of contamination from pathogens or other harmful substances. This could include situations such as an outbreak of an infectious disease, rodent feces and other pathogens. Our highly trained technicians are equipped to properly remove and dispose of contaminants, reducing the risk of spreading them to other areas and ensuring the safety of your employees, customers and visitors. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting your business and the health of those in it. Prevention is key when it comes to potential hazards.
Excess moisture caused by leaks or flooding in your home — especially in typically damp environments like your kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms — creates the perfect breeding ground for mould or mildew. To control and reduce the risk for mould growth in these areas, you must properly maintain your plumbing system and monitor appliances that use large quantities of water, such as dish washers and washing machines. Small amounts of indoor mould are unavoidable and usually harmless. In damp environments, however, mould spores can more easily reproduce and cause more serious and difficult to remove mould problems.
After water damage in your home, stair carpeting is generally not removed for safety reasons. Exposed tack strips or staples, especially on steps, can be dangerous. However, there are situations where removing carpet from stairs is necessary to prevent damage to hardwood steps underneath, or in the case of sewage contamination. Removing tack strips is not advised, as this may damage the hardwood or the subfloor. Extreme caution must be used whenever the tack strip is exposed or when the carpeted stairs are damp. If carpet left on the stairs is unsalvageable, it will be removed when new carpet is installed.
