We Can Save Your Property In The Upper West Side
We New Yorkers have a passion for getting a job done quickly and having it how we want it the first time you ask. That’s the mentality of our SERVPRO team that has been proudly serving the Upper West Side and other areas of Manhattan for years. As a family-owned restoration company, we can utilize the resources of our parent company without losing the roots and the ties to our community that make us such a respected choice when emergencies occur. We want not just to have you as a customer but to know that should anything ever happen again, we are the team you want to call to make it right.
Mold
Mold Damage is a situation that many properties throughout the Upper West Side find challenging to avoid entirely. Our professionals can understand how severe these effects can become. Our proximity to the Hudson River and other major water features creates conditions where higher moisture content and relative humidity (RH) levels are difficult to avoid. Even with a proactive stance against rising moisture content, it can be impossible to negate entirely.
Because mold gets discovered in an Upper West Side home or apartment does not necessarily indicate a need for the property owner to vacate the premises until remediation completes. Our professionals have many strategies for containment that fixate on limiting the spread of these effects through the application of plastic sheeting and the operation of HEPA machines, including air scrubbers, negative air chambers, and hydroxyl generators.
If you believe a mold infestation is growing in your Upper West Side home, it is best to have the property thoroughly inspected by our IICRC-Certified Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians. If a threat gets discovered, we have immediate practices to implement to remove this organism and to protect the materials that were hosting a colony.
Water
We have to approach almost all of the water loss incidents that we address throughout the Upper West Side as situations that can affect other residences as well. With a high percentage of properties for our customers in the area being lofts, apartments, and condos, it is easy for disasters to spread beyond their initial source point to damage the entire unit. Once saturation has become an issue in the source residence, moisture can migrate to neighboring apartments and properties to present a more substantial hurdle for our restoration team to overcome.
We have seen the high volume of water restoration calls that our professionals receive every year, and that is why our experts focus on training and education to ensure that nearly all of our staff have the necessary certifications through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in water restoration. This comprehensive accreditation means that we always have qualified technicians available immediately when disasters strike your Upper West Side property.
Our professionals have to have the equipment to match this claim. We have an ever-growing inventory of tools and machines ranging from our portable sump pumps and light wands for extraction in confined spaces to the rapid drying solutions for Upper West Side residences like our desiccant dehumidifiers and positive pressure practices like the InjectiDry system.
Fire
While the recovery of fire loss incidents might seem par for the course to our SERVPRO professionals, the restoration services we provide Upper West Side properties rely on other aspects of our process, including interaction with our customers. We know that this is an overwhelming experience, and many times you question whether your home or apartment might be a total loss. We take pride in how we can help homes and businesses and their owners through traumatic and substantial fire losses.
Our team focuses on bridging the gap between our customers and their insurance company. We have established working relationships with area providers. We know what these companies need to submit your damage claim and can document and catalog loss and damage through the extensive walkthrough and assessment that our experienced project management provides upon our initial arrival. There are several obstacles that are standing in the way of returning your Upper West Side property to a pre-damaged condition, and we have the experienced IICRC-Certified professionals to help.
Permeation of fire loss effects to neighboring properties is a concern for this type of emergency as well, to reduce the spread of smoke odors and soot throughout your Upper West Side unit. Through the use of sophisticated equipment like ozone machines, hydroxyl generators, and thermal foggers, we can eliminate harmful scents and keep other neighboring properties from suffering these effects as well.
Storm
With many apartment buildings and structures having more than just a single owner, our SERVPRO team understands that the prompt service we provide can help to keep Upper West Side residents from becoming displaced for prolonged periods. It is part of the reason that our team of professionals has grown to include a full-service contracting division – so that we can address the basic needs of properties as storm damages occur. The faster we can overcome these concerns with even temporary measures, the faster effective and property-saving mitigation tactics can begin.
Because of the limitations that many of our structures place on effective extraction and drying tools in our recovery arsenal, our professionals must utilize efficient extractors that can be portable enough to transport into high-rise buildings with the right power to complete the task. We have numerous portable extractors, including electric sump pumps and light wands that can help to remove standing water before it migrates beyond the immediate damage location in Upper West Side buildings.
There are multiple layers to storm and flood recovery that require the full measure of our team and their capabilities. We encourage continued education for all of our technicians, even after their acquisition of IICRC certification is specifically related to niches like water restoration, structural drying, mold remediation, or cleaning. The result has been a comprehensive approach to restoration that includes efficient mitigation, reconstruction, and restoration for every storm-damaged Upper West Side structure.
