5 Reasons AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the Best in the Triangle

First let’s tell the bad news. Many types of mold problems are found in Triangle homes and businesses. Now, the good news is that the methods for cleaning it up and keeping it from coming back are well-researched, time-tested, and very likely to remove it quickly and effectively. The process, called mold remediation, involves detecting the type of mold present. We determine the causes of the mold issue, and then we remove it.  For an experienced team like AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex, it is a straight forward elimination. Unfortunately, there are too many mold remediation contractors that don’t get it right, aren’t properly trained, and are not committed to good customer service. There is the wrong way and the right way, and we do the job right, every single time.

Here are five reasons why AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex gets mold remediation done right every time:

• AdvantaClean is IICRC certified at mold remediation: The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) provides training and certification of mold removal specialists. Our people are IICRC trained and certified to perform expert evaluation and treatment of mold problems. Anything less can lead to an inadequate cleanup, which can result in worse problems later.
• AdvantaClean uses specialized equipment and cleaning agents: The correct approach to dealing with various types of mold in differing environments is not one-size-fits-all. The equipment and cleaners used makes a big difference in the effectiveness of the remediation. It’s also critical to keep mold from spreading in the process.
• AdvantaClean works quickly and efficiently: Mold can spread very quickly and intensely if the right conditions exist. The more time spent figuring out who to call or what to do, the more severe the problem will become. For those reasons, getting the remediation underway immediately is always the best approach. We’ll respond as soon as possible to contain the problem and keep it from growing.
• AdvantaClean keeps home and business owners informed about the mold status: Our team of experts uses laboratory testing to determine the type of mold present. We won’t use unnecessary terms like “black mold” unless that’s actually the problem. We’ll also keep clients informed about the equipment and process, and all of our findings will be communicated clearly and in writing.
• AdvantaClean will contain and isolate the problem: The mold remediation site should only include the affected area, not an entire building. In addition, it’s very important that mold be prevented from spreading during the cleanup. That’s why we use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums and seal any affected areas to contain the mold problem.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the team in the Triangle to call when it comes to correctly assessing and cleaning up a mold problem. We are mold specialists, using a network of laboratories and testing partners to identify mold problems. We also use specialized equipment with highly trained people to do the job right and keep mold from growing and spreading.

5 Factors Triangle Residents Need to Know about Mold Problems

It’s been a very hot, humid summer in the Triangle, and local homes and businesses have been keeping windows closed for several months. Given the sealed environment, it can be apparent and noticeable if mold has been growing inside the structure and spreading somewhere. A musty or moldy odor that doesn’t go away can possibly indicate a mold problem. The fall allergy season in North Carolina can also get people sneezing and rubbing their eyes, but there can be other factors in the closed environment that can cause and even exaggerate these types of symptoms. A mold situation can never be ignored; it will never go away without professional help. And it can multiply in size and severity with some toxicity. Mold testing by our team at AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex can determine the nature of the problem, and we can help formulate the right plan to fix it.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important tips for dealing with mold problems in Triangle buildings:

• Dangerous and harmful mold problems can be hidden:  Mold can grow and hide in unsuspecting places in Triangle buildings, such as in the attic, behind wallpaper, or even in the ceiling of a finished basement. In the worst cases, mold gets into the HVAC system and spreads through the internal air. Professional testing may be the only way to find the mold.
• Don’t wait to assess the problem; it needs to be remediated: Given the right conditions, a mold problem that starts out slowly can potentially grow quickly into a large area and create a lot of damage. The key ingredient for mold is usually moisture, and if that’s a plumbing leak it can continue to get worse. When that happens, the building will soon likely be uninhabitable.
• Know that three effective types of mold testing are common: Air, surface, and bulk testing are the most effective approaches. Air sampling is a test for concentration of mold spores in the air. Surface testing checks for mold that has been deposited on surfaces such as shelving and furnishings. Bulk testing involves collecting carpet, insulation, fabrics, or other materials and testing them for mold.
• There are different types of mold: Some molds are toxic and many others are not, other than to produce a bad smell and allergy symptoms. The so-called “black mold,” (stachybotrys) is known to release compounds that cause severe respiratory problems. The type of mold and its associated characteristics are identified through testing.
• Hire AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex: Calling in experienced professionals will ensure that a mold issue exists and is accurately diagnosed. Determining the type of mold present is also very important in formulating the right cleanup plan and preventing future mold problems.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the team of qualified professionals to call when it comes to mold inspections, testing, and remediation. We are certified mold specialists and we use a network of laboratories and testing partners to properly identify mold problems and recommend the correct, most effective remediation plan. AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is also IICRC certified for mold remediation and uses HEPA vacuums.

5 Preventive Tips for Eliminating Water Supply Line Damage

Many people in the Triangle have been busy over the past summer with graduations, vacations, road trips, outings to the North Carolina beaches and mountains, and enjoying the hot weather. This can mean time away from the home or business; and water-related mishaps can occur in absence. One of the leading causes of water mishaps is the water supply lines that connect various appliances to the main lines in the building. Washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerator ice makers all use flexible plastic or rubber hoses and those hoses are constantly under water pressure. Problems can result because materials and connectors that wear out or fail. If left undetected, water can leak out for days or even longer, flooding the immediate area and beyond.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers these five tips for preventing appliance related water damage:

• Take a look at the hoses behind washers, dishwashers, and refrigerators: Don’t just look at them for leaks or cracking, but make sure the connections are tight too. Look nearby for signs of water or mold, as mold may be a sign of a slow leak. Replace the hose if it looks worn or leaky.

• Replace the supply hoses and lines to appliances based on age: Try to determine the age of various supply hoses and periodically replace them. If the age is unknown, consider replacing them. If the age is known, the general rule of thumb is to replace every five years. If the supply line is replaced, record the date on a piece of masking tape and stick it on the piping.

• Check the water shutoff valves: The shutoff valves are usually located where the flexible hose connects to the main plumbing, often behind the appliance. The dishwasher shutoff is usually under the kitchen sink. These valves don’t last forever, and are prone to problems, especially where hard water is commonplace. A plumber can easily replace these, perhaps even as a preventive measure. It is much less expensive than water damage.

• Ensure hoses and supply lines are not bent or kinked: Improper installation is a big issue. Moving the refrigerator or washer against the wall can cause supply hoses to become twisted, wedged into small spaces, or kinked at sharp angles. That can cause water supply hoses to fail before they are old enough to warrant replacement.

• Appliances can leak from the inside: Any appliance that uses water has internal valves and mechanisms that turn the water on and off and some also have internal rubber and plastic hoses with water under pressure. Ultimately, the best prevention for water-related mishaps during an absence from home or business is to turn off the main water supply.

5 Advantages for Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Triangle

Summer vacations, weddings, graduations, kids in school, and road trips to see friends and family have kept Triangle residents in a busy pattern over the past few months. Chances are the rest of 2016 won’t get any less busy. One important maintenance issue is one of the most forgotten. Dryer vent cleaning is something we might think about now and then; yet we soon push it down our priority list. Most North Carolina home and business owners would consider fire prevention and prolonging the life of expensive appliances to be top priorities, and getting the dryer vent cleaned is a big step in the right direction. However, dryer vent cleaning isn’t as simple as it sounds, so understanding the issues involved and getting expert help makes for both common sense and safety.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers five important advantages for professional dryer vent cleaning:

• The do-it-yourself approach isn’t usually a good idea: Dryer vents and various components have sharp edges like sheet metal and screws, can get very long, and could have twists and bends. Getting the venting cleaned properly without risk of injury involves using special equipment and training.  Put the urge to DIY away for just a day, and call AdvantaClean to professionally clean both residential and commercial dryer vents.
• Improper installation during new construction can cause long-term problems: Too often, dryer vents are quickly or improperly installed by subcontractors who do 100 or so a week, every week.  It can create sharp angles, bends, lengthy pipe, the wrong material, a bad connection; this will create any number of problems as months go by. The experts at AdvantaClean know how to identify critical design or construction issues and recommend the appropriate fix.
• Dryer lint and airflow detection devices indicate cleaning: If the dryer vent or the dryer appliance lint detection or airflow alarm/indicator sounds or lights up, don’t ignore it. This means immediate action that could cause a fire or appliance failure if not remedied.
• What cannot be seen could be a serious: Lint and microscopic debris can get past the dryer lint screen and into the vent, and accumulates significantly over a period of time to become a fire hazard. If the dryer vent is improperly or quickly designed and constructed, and many are; a problem area could become much larger. This is one more reason to have the dryer vent cleaned by AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex.
• Put it on the calendar: Other important meetings, events, and maintenance items make it onto the calendar so they will be remembered. Extending the life of an expensive appliance and keeping a building free of fire hazards is just as critical as birthday parties and evening meetings.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers dryer vent cleaning as one of our specialty services. We know where to look for problems and remedy them, and always have the right equipment on hand to clean dryer vents completely. We are experts at both residential and commercial dryer vents. Contact us today to keep your home or business safe and clean.

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 Ways to Minimize Smoke and Ash from a Fire

Fires happen.  Sometimes a Triangle home or business will experience a quickly contained fire that affects a small portion of the building. However, what remains after a fire can be much worse than the actual fire event, depending upon how much smoke and ash was generated. Smoke can easily travel into every nook and cranny of a structure, including inside walls, furniture, and storage areas. If the residue, which includes ash, is allowed to settle and linger, it causes permanent damage to everything it comes into contact with over a period of time. Getting smoke and ash cleaned up quickly will make a difference in terms of minimizing the damage.  Professional help will be necessary to make this happen.

AdvantaClean of Cay/ Apex offers five important ways to minimize the damage from smoke and ash after a fire:

• Time multiplies the destructive potential of smoke and ash: Acidic areas that contain strong odors can also lead to corrosion, etching, and discoloration of most materials, especially metals and plastics. The damage begins to multiply within hours. Permanent damage is common within a day or two, so cleanup time is critical.
• Smoke and ash must be properly cleaned up: Smoke and ash contain toxic and hazardous materials, including formaldehyde, benzene, acetic acid, formic acid, toluene, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metals. Many of these substances become highly reactive in the presence of water and common cleaning agents. AdvantaClean can help.
• Electrical wiring may become a dangerous hazard: The insulation on wires can easily burn off in the area affected by the fire, and could place areas at risk. The entire electrical system should be checked out before power is restored. Creating another fire mishap by taking shortcuts could create additional problems.
• Get the HVAC system checked out: Smoke, soot, and ash most likely are in the air ducts, and from there can get into the whole system. It then can get circulate everywhere.  Avoid operating the HVAC system until it’s verified as safe.
• Ventilate the building and dry wet items as soon as possible: Ventilate by opening windows and running fans will be an effective start to the odor elimination process. Keeping moisture to a minimum will also slow down the chemical activity of smoke and ash residue, and will reduce the possibility of mold problems. These are steps going in the right direction before AdvantaClean arrives.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the principal North Carolina contractor to choose for cleaning up fire and smoke damage. We are also certified and qualified to clean HVAC air ducts. The after effects of a fire must be cleaned up properly and quickly to minimize damage; and we’re available at all times, any day. AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex is IICRC Certified and provides the right professionals, equipment, expertise, and customer service to get the job done right. Call us right away for fire and smoke damage cleanup.

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

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.
