4 Important Signs That Mold is Present in a Triangle Home or Business

There are approximately 30 common types of mold found in North Carolina homes and businesses that can cause health problems, and there are thousands of mold spores in the air especially as we head quickly to spring. Sometimes the mold can be seen, but many times mold is hidden in walls, under bathroom tiles, and under the carpet.

It is important to note that mold can cause health problems and should be addressed when found. Thankfully, AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex has ways to detect and identify a suspected mold problem in the home or business.

The best and most effective way to take eliminate mold is to call AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex. Even if there is just a suspicion of mold, our professional team can inspect and test for mold and take care of any mold problem before it gets worse. If and when mold is found, we will take a culture of the mold and test it to determine the amount within a home or business.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex suggests four important signs that mold might be present in a home or building:

• Sickness and poor health symptoms: Many times, if mold is present, there will be health symptoms that include nasal and sinus congestion, cough, sore throats, chest tightness, breathing difficulties, asthma or worsening of asthma, nosebleeds, headaches, skin and eye irritations and upper respiratory tract infections.  Many of the mold symptoms resemble normal allergies or a cold. If people living in the home feel better outside or at work and the symptoms return when at home, that could be an indication of mold in the home.
• Musty odors: Mold usually has a smell to it, but that is not always the case; mold produces or gives off gasses known as microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). The smell that is most closely associated with mold is a musty odor. Some have compared it to the smell books get when they are wet. The wet pages are turning moldy. If there is an unusual persistent musty odor, there could be a chance mold is present.
• The physical appearance of mold: In the shower stall, mold looks different than normal soap scum. If you should see small black specs starting to form on the tiles or the shower curtain, that could be black mold starting to form. Under sinks is another place you might see mold.
• Other signs of mold: Are there continual damp spots on walls, ceilings or carpets? These areas could easily be places where mold could be growing. Other signs can include bubbling, peeling or cracking of the paint or wallpaper, or white patches under carpets, behind furniture and in cabinets.

Mold can be in plain sight or hide behind walls, under floor tiles and carpeting. Serving the entire Triangle area, Sanford, Lillington, Fayetteville and beyond, AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex can test for mold with one simple call.

Five Important Reasons to Make Sure Air Duct Cleaning is Done Right!

Air duct cleaning, expertly done by a competent NADCA certified firm like AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/ Apex, can bring multiple benefits. The most important one is the improvement of indoor air quality and efficient operation of the HVAC system in a home or business. The weather in North Carolina, especially the long hot summers, causes these systems to run for many hours per day, moving huge volumes of air through the ducts and various other components of the system. Filters don’t catch everything, so eventually dust and debris accumulates in the system; this in turn gets recirculated into the indoor air, and HVAC system efficiency decreases.

To complicate the problem, the consumer can get confused with the wide variety of special offers done by a variety of vendors. These special offers and scams are showing up prominently on the internet, on Facebook and other sources. And they come in the “value” circulars as coupons, usually via the USPS.     The best way to fight the inexpensive and inferior offers consumers that see is to call professionals at AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex. We are the quality NADCA certified air duct cleaning team can be found in the Triangle, Lillington, Fayetteville, Sanford and more.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex offers five reasons to avoid using coupons and special offers for air duct cleaning:

• Air duct cleaning may not actually be necessary: It is important to inspect for obvious signs the HVAC system needs cleaning. If an accumulation of dust or other particles is evident near air duct inlets and outlets; if dust is everywhere on the contents of the building, or if the air is noticeably dirty, then the air ducts most probably need to be cleaned. If these signs are not present, air duct cleaning may be avoidable. If the need is uncertain, or the owner wants it done regardless, a professional inspection is very affordable using AdvantaClean.
• Coupons and special offers are often just a “bait and switch” tactic: Considering the equipment, the expertise, and hours required to perform an effective air duct or HVAC system cleaning, the low price offers of $25 or $50 dollars to do an entire home or business are just too good to be true. HVAC system problems identified by these types of contractors may be phony or exaggerated, and are usually intended to create extra charges; most or all of them unneeded.
• Proper cleaning of air ducts under NADCA standards always ensure good results and cleaner air: The methodology involves looking at every component of the HVAC system where air passes over, including coils, fans, filters, and heat exchangers. Special equipment such as brushes, air whips, compressed air nozzles, and a HEPA vacuum system are used to remove dust, debris, and other contaminants.
• Always use a NADCA certified company to avoid scams and extra expense: AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is a certified member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and adheres to a long list of standards for inspection, evaluation, cleaning, and restoration of HVAC systems.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is the best air duct cleaning contractor in the Triangle, considering our years of experience, great customer service, and use of specialized equipment with well-trained staff. We do the job right and help North Carolina home and business owners improve indoor air quality and heating/cooling system efficiency. Call us today for air duct cleaning done right.

5 Important Strategies for Atlantic Hurricane Season Preparation

It is September 1^st and we live in the Triangle of North Carolina. Tropical Storm Hermine has formed over the coat of Florida and is heading our way with an increase in the speed of movement.  It is the annual Atlantic hurricane season in full swing. Although the hurricane season hasn’t been a busy or destructive one in the Triangle for at least five years, the potential always exists for the sever combination of wind and rain. Many Raleigh area residents remember the days of Hurricane Floyd in 1999 or Fran in 1996; both caused widespread flooding, property damage and power outages. If these storm levels happen again in 2016, preparation and anticipation will help make the water damage less severe for Triangle home and business owners.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important strategies that help home and business owners be better prepared for the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season:

• Know the home or business location and its relativity to flood prone areas: The areas, most susceptible to flooding from major storms, are within the 100-year flood plain. These areas are specifically mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are available online by county. They can be viewed as aerial images or property maps.
• Be prepared for the combination of torrential wind and rain: Wind or rain alone does not impact as both of them combined. Both can be very damaging. Also, check the property insurance policy to make sure the structure is covered for wind-driven rain. In any event, this phenomenon is common in hurricanes and can result in water damage from flooding.
• Inspect roofing, flashing, and downspouts before the storm: Try to identify any loose roofing materials or problem areas where water is not draining off the roof and away from the structure. Wind can exacerbate these problems by tearing away roofing materials, and then wind-driven rain can penetrate the exposed sections.
• Inspect siding and exterior seals around windows and doors: Any areas where caulk or other sealing is damaged or missing become vessels for wind-driven rain getting inside the walls or coming in through doors.
• Know a certified restoration contractor before damage is done: Do some quick research, and place AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex in your smartphone. We are experienced at working with insurance claims as well as being IICRC Certified; and we are there when needed.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers a number or services to help clean up from heavy storms and hurricanes. We are certified by the IICRC to clean up water damage, and are available anytime, any day to respond. AdvantaClean would prefer that hurricane season be uneventful, but if not, we know how to get homes and businesses back to normal.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the number one team of professionals in the Triangle to perform IICRC certified flood and water damage restoration.  Contact us today in the unfortunate event there is flooding and water damage from storms or other causes.

Five Ways to Identify and Eliminate Home and Business Odors

It’s the annual summer vacation season in North Carolina, and it has featured a very warm, humid, tropical, and rainy weather pattern across the Triangle in 2016. Some Triangle residents who headed out of town for a week or two came back to unpleasant issues when they returned from a great vacation. Walking in the door and noticing a musty or stinky smell. With all the moisture present in the air and falling from the sky in the form of heavy rains, unfortunate situations can arise for mold, sewage, and other moisture-enabled problems. When emergencies happen, something must be done quickly to find the source of the problem and eliminate it. Moisture is usually the main factor in the Triangle summer.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five very important ways to effectively identify and eliminate indoor odors:

• The first step to eliminating odors is to find the source: The key factor isn’t just finding where the odor source is located, but what is enabling it to flourish and grow.  Sewage odors can enter a building when plumbing traps, or the deep bends underneath sink drains, become empty with lack of normal use. Most other odors are activated by moisture from a variety of causes.
• Mold is a common source or odors in North Carolina buildings: The essential ingredients for mold growth are present in nearly all buildings, in the building materials and furnishings. The missing ingredient is almost always moisture. Add enough moisture from the air, roof leaks, and plumbing leaks; and mold can multiply and spread, bringing a musty smell that lingers.
• Check the HVAC system for unusual smells or moisture intrusion: The HVAC system itself may be the source of odors due to moisture intrusion, malfunction of the drainage system for air conditioning, or just lack of cleaning and maintenance. Also, the air ducts may have accumulated mold, dust, chemical residues, or other matter over a period of time and could be spreading an odor.
• Don’t put off taking care of the problem: Mold growth and odors tend to get worse with time if not effectively eliminated, and tend to spread to other parts of a structure. Some common causes are humidity, plumbing leaks, roofing, siding, window leaks, and lack of ventilation with fresh air from outdoors. Fix these issues without delay or the problem will get worse.
• Seek the services of AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex if the odor and moisture are not dissipating: We are always available to help home and business owners with odor and mold remediation. AdvantaClean is qualified to do the job.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the best qualified professionals when it comes to helping home and business owners with odors and anything involving mold. Our certified mold specialists utilize laboratories to properly identify mold problems and recommend the right remediation plan. AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex is IICRC certified for mold remediation and we use HEPA vacuums to prevent mold spores from spreading. We are also certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to perform qualified, expert inspection and cleaning of air ducts should the HVAC system be a source of water and odors.

5 Tips Every Triangle Home or Business Owner Should Know About Insurance

Late summer and early fall in North Carolina are the peak months for the Atlantic Hurricane Season, which officially runs from June 1 to November 30. According to the National Weather Service, the second week of September has historically been the busiest part of the season, and North Carolina is on the “most likely” track for tropical storms in September and October. While the Triangle is about 130 miles from the Atlantic coast, we are still vulnerable to damaging wind, rain, and lightning from a major hurricane. With this in mind, it is a good time of year for home and business owners to become aware of the insurance coverages on their property, and to think about how they might cope if disaster hits a home or business.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important tips for home and business insurance:

• Make sure there is coverage for tropical storm events: Property owners should check the policy “declarations” page to verify what is and isn’t covered, and speak with an insurance agent at least once a year review coverages. While storm surges from hurricanes are typically not an issue in the Triangle; high winds, heavy rain, flooding, and falling trees certainly are factors.
• Assess and complete a contents inventory: The insured party (property owner) is ultimately responsible for proving losses. Detailed documentation is always the best approach, and could involve a written account, spreadsheets, photos and videos, or a combination of these. Don’t do it from memory after a disaster, or the insurance settlement will be compromised.
• Beware that claims adjusters can sometimes be inexperienced: While the property may be adequately insured in terms of the policy, the claim payments are coming from people involved in the process. Claims adjusters represent the insurance company, not the property owner, so it may be a consideration for the property owner to retain an independent claims adjuster.
• Pay attention to anything that indicates “release of liability” or “full settlement”: The insurance company may at times during the process provide payments or documents for the property owner to sign or acknowledge. Cashing checks or signing papers can sometimes constitute agreement with a partial settlement or accepting less than what is owed. Read all documents and settlement checks very carefully, or retain a professional who can provide expert advice on such matters.
• Investigate and evaluate remediation contractors before they are needed: As with any business, the possibility of receiving unsatisfactory work is ever present. Don’t just wait for the insurance company to recommend a contractor after the fact. Look for a certified contractor with a good reputation for customer service and experience with insurance adjusters.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex specializes in restoration from water damage, storm damage, and ensuing mold problems. We are certified by National organizations such as IICRC for all of these, and deliver outstanding customer service. We also know how insurance adjusters work, and can make the restoration process work as good as possible for our customers.

AdvantaClean of Cary and Apex  is the number one team of professionals in the Triangle to perform IICRC certified water damage restoration and mold remediation.  Contact us today in the unfortunate event a disaster affects a home or business.

5 Reasons to Call AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex for Storm Damage Cleanup

Heat indexes over 100 on a regular basis. Humidity is in the discomfort range. Welcome to summer in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and beyond. 2016 is turning into one of the hottest, most humid summers in North Carolina history. The heat brings almost a daily deluge of water from hot weather related thunderstorms. Virtually every late afternoon and evening the action and the light show begin. These July and August storms can bring heavy rain and lightning; neither of which are friends to Triangle home and business owners. As some Apex and Cary area home and building owners recently found out, flooding can come quickly when torrential downpours deliver three to five inches of rain within a short period of time.

In these recent storms, homes were also struck by lightning. Unfortunately, when these accidents happen, the water or fire damage has to be quickly cleaned up. Time is of the essence. Mold can grow and spread. Harmful microbes can remain if sewage is involved. And smoke residue can often cause permanent damage if not addressed.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important reasons to use our services:

• AdvantaClean is ready to respond at any time: Our team of experts is available whenever disaster strikes to help minimize storm or smoke damage. Call us anytime at 919-434-7249.
• We are experienced at mold and sewage cleanup: In the worst cases, floodwaters can cause sewage to come into a building. Also, elevated moisture levels after flooding can cause mold to quickly grow and spread. AdvantaClean uses the best techniques available to clean up these problems and prevent further damage and down time.
• AdvantaClean is IICRC Certified: AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex brings in the best trained people to remediate water or fire damage and deal with any subsequent mold issues. As an IICRC certified contractor, we follow high standards of professionalism and client care, and use the latest well-researched and tested techniques. This expertise and care gets our customers back to normal.
• We help home and building owners prevent future problems: Flooding often causes water to seep into the walls, flooring, and wood framing of a building. Some of these areas are not normally visible, and may contain moisture long after damage is cleaned up, leading to mold growth. We look everywhere for lingering moisture in order to prevent future mold problems.
• AdvantaClean works with a wide variety of insurance adjusters: The people who represent insurance companies in the claims process follow certain practices and procedures. AdvantaClean is familiar with this part of the cleanup and remediation process, and works with insurance adjusters to make everything go smoothly for our customers.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is trained and certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in water and fire damage restoration. We are also similarly certified at mold detection and remediation, and work hard to make sure summer storm damage doesn’t turn into a mold problem.
