July in the Triangle can be an active one for a home or business owner. It starts with the 4th of July, which, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is the biggest day for fires. On this holiday, almost one-half of all fires are caused by fireworks; it’s a surprising statistic. Another fire hazard that peaks in July, especially in North Carolina is lightning. The NFPA reports that lightning-related fires during the peak months of June, July, and August are most common in the late afternoon and evening.  Barbecuing and grilling are another significant cause of home fires in the United States. If accidental fire does affect a home or business, a quick and expert response is necessary to minimize further damage and recover from the disaster.

Here are four very important reasons to call AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex for fire and smoke damage recovery:

  • AdvantaClean is both qualified and knowledgeable: Our team is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the widely-recognized national authority on cleaning and restoration, to clean up fire and smoke damage. We use the latest techniques and follow the very highest standards of customer care.
  • AdvantaClean is always available, even on holidays: The AdvantaClean professionals are always trained and ready whenever problems happen, including holiday weekends. The soot, ash, and smoke residues from a fire start discoloring and etching various materials immediately in most cases. Water and moisture from fighting the fire can cause mold to grow and spread within 48 hours. We get right to work on those issues so they don’t become huge problems later.
  • AdvantaClean knows how insurance claims adjusters work: We are very familiar with industry  processes and practices, and we will work with them to make the disaster recovery process go as trouble-free as possible for our customers. We also work for our customers to ensure that they are getting the best advice and the best remediation work for the return to normalcy. .
  • AdvantaClean is an expert at eliminating mold: Too often, less experienced or less qualified restoration contractors overlook the potential for mold problems during and after cleaning up the aftermath of a fire. The water used to extinguish a fire can get into walls and crevices; this   can lead to mold growth that stays around long after the cleanup. We know where to look and what to do so future mold problems are not a lingering consequence of fire. Our experience saves time and money.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the best Triangle restoration contractor to choose for cleaning up fire and smoke damage, and also the water damage that often comes after a fire. Smoke residue, odors, and moisture are issues requiring immediate attention, as they get worse and become permanent with time. We know exactly what to do in terms of recovering from a fire, and we offer great customer service too.

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

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex Offers Five Tips for Summer Vacation

stockimages8_FDPA variety of potential disasters can happen when Triangle home and business owners leave their homes and offices unprotected and unprepared for a prolonged absence, even if that’s only a week or two on vacation. Some of those potential adversities can happen within the building, with plumbing connections or with appliance water supply lines on the verge of failing, but not yet showing any symptoms. With water pressure, these lines can spring a leak quite suddenly leading to water damage and subsequent mold problems. Other problems can be weather related. A sudden torrential downpour or perhaps even a week of rain; not all that uncommon in North Carolina during the summer, can cause issues to emerge. Wind is another unforeseen weather issue that can cause damage here in the Triangle. Taking a few precautions can be important to prevent plumbing and weather related mishaps. Although there are no absolutes, strategies can be put in place to ensure a return from vacation will be as trouble free as possible.

Here in the Triangle, AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers these five tips when taking summer vacation:

  • Turn off the water supply for the entire building: This prevents nearly all mishaps related to plumbing and appliance water supply connections. With no water pressure present, leaks simply cannot occur or are very limited, causing minimal damage. Turn off the water supply to washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators, as these are the most likely to leak.
  • Make sure the roof is in good repair and is properly draining: Various parts of the roof contain flashing and gullys that transport volumes of water during storms. Eaves and downspouts serve the same purpose. If any of these components are clogged or leaking, water can find its way into the building, causing water damage and mold problems. Inspect for problems before leaving to make sure all is in order.
  • Do not turn off the air conditioning: Instead, leave it on and set it for 80 degrees. Humidity levels are high during a typical North Carolina summer. Humidity often can be sufficient enough inside a hot building that can trigger mold growth, especially if moisture from the air condenses on cooler surfaces. Air conditioning, set at 80 degrees, during periods of absences removes moisture from the air and prevents mold issues from happening.
  • Look for any trees or limbs that could fall during high winds: Sometimes the thunderstorms that occur during a North Carolina summer can bring high winds, which can cause dead tree limbs and weaker trees to fall on homes and businesses. Consider trimming tall or diseased trees before leaving.
  • Mold is a worst case scenario, so be sure to avoid it: All the ingredients and factors needed for mold are already in the home or business. All that is missing is moisture. Any plumbing or weather situation, if left unattended, can cause mold to grow, flourish, and spread within just 48 short hours.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex can help in the unfortunate event a home or business is affected by a summer vacation disaster. We are the best local remediation contractor available for cleaning up water damage and mold. In the unfortunate event a Triangle home or business is affected, we can help with getting back to normal. Give us a call 24/7 if coming back to water damage or mold problems.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the number one team of professionals in the Triangle to perform IICRC certified water damage restoration and mold remediation. Contact us 24/7 any time disaster strikes.

sira_anamwong_FDPCorrectly maintaining and managing a commercial, institutional, or hospitality property in the Triangle can increase the productivity of workers and possibly reduce safety hazards. These processes ultimately save money and create positive results in more profitable businesses. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important consideration in the health of building occupants. Several factors are involved in improving and maintaining IAQ, such as keeping the HVAC system up-to-date and clean, and addressing any odor and mold issues that may arise. Older buildings may have long-standing problems with odors and mold, or have been impacted by water damage, and these issues should be remedied first in order to improve the property value and the health of people in the building. If the building has laundry facilities and associated dryer vents, getting the vents cleaned periodically can reduce or eliminate potential causes of fires.

AdvantaClean is well-equipped to keep them free of lint and debris, and will advise on how often they need to be cleaned.
  • Commercial air conditioner and PTAC cleaning: To operate with peak efficiency and stay in service for as long as possible, the coils on air conditioning units should be cleaned regularly. We know how and when to clean these units for good IAQ and lowest possible energy consumption.
  • Commercial water damage restoration: AdvantaClean provides a fast and effective response to water damage from severe weather or plumbing system failures. We understand that getting the job done right is essential when it comes to minimizing down time and lost business.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex, Your Restoration Specialist in the Triangle

adclWhen disaster strikes, time is of the essence when it comes to restoring normalcy. It must be remembered that the longer damage of any kind goes unattended after a destructive event, the worse it can become.  AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is on call 24/7 to serve you and help reconstruct and restore homes and businesses immediately after the wake of an incident.

There are many different factors that can cause damage to a home or business.  For example, bad weather can bring flooding, high winds or even lightning damage to the Triangle. Fires can happen in appliances that are not properly maintained or are clogged like dirty dryer vents.  The possibilities are endless when it comes to the problematic sources. No matter the damage, a call to AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex to restore and rebuild quickly can help that return to normalcy.

AdvantaClean offers three important types of damage remediation to get your home or business restored back to original condition:

  • Flood and Water damage:  Water can cause extreme damage to the infrastructure of a building.  Water may enter a home or business due to heavy rains or other issues; whatever the cause, the result of too much water is always serious. Removing waterlogged boards that can now rot will rescue a compromised structure from future failure.  Timely action is essential in repairing water damage.
  • Fire and Smoke damage:  Fire can often be more damaging to a structure than water.  Sometimes, fire damage is so severe that repair is virtually impossible.  But in many cases, contained fires will damage a specific area which will need to be quickly repaired. Even if a small burn occurs and does not leave extensive damage, the smoke can leave behind a powerful odor throughout a building, or discoloration on walls and ceilings.  These issues can all be resolved by our AdvantaClean team of professionals.
  • Mold contaminationThere are thousands of types of mold. About 1000 of these are found indoors and of those, 80 actually cause illness.  Mold spores can enter a home through many different venues.  The most common cause of mold is water damage, but can also be merely the presence of excessive moisture in a room or structure.  Our IICRC certified professionals can perform an inspection of any building in accordance with EPA standards.  And mold found will be eradicated promptly so that healthy breathing can resume.

When damage occurs, call the pros!  Contact AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex for any repairs or restorations, and know the job will be done right.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex, Your Triangle’s Indoor Air Specialists

john Kasawa acDuring October through March here in the Triangle, it is an obvious fact that people spend much more time indoors.  The average American spends about 86% of the day indoors during the winter.  This means that the quality of the air we breathe indoors is one of the largest factors affecting our health throughout the cooler seasons.  The indoor air needs to be clean and free of toxins, so that we can continue to function properly while spending more time inside.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the number one air quality specialist in the Triangle.  For any type of building, from homes to apartment buildings, office spaces to commercial structures like malls and hospitals, AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex can provide premium quality assessment and control for indoor air no matter the setting. 

Air quality in the home is extremely important, especially when children are involved.  Any pollutants in the air a child breathes during developmental stages can be problematic in the form of respiratory degradation or other complications.  Even for a household with no children, lowered air quality can cause sickness and a general feeling of weakness for those who live there.

In a commercial setting, especially highly trafficked spaces like malls, the number of people affected by the air quality on a day to day basis can be endless.  In a hospital or nursing home, where inhabitants may already have lowered immunity, the quality of air is absolutely crucial.

Here are three services AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex can provide to improve air quality:

  • Air Duct Cleaning: A thorough cleaning of all air system components should be done at least once a year, if not more often. 
  • Mold Testing and Removal:  Mold, even in mild form, can cause breathing problems. An inspection can be done to estimate the amount of mold within a building.  If mold is found, a removal may be necessary.
  • Water Damage Restoration:  If not cleaned up quickly, water damage can lead to major issues in air quality.

Air quality is not something to be taken lightly; but it is something that can be managed. Call AdvantaClean of Cary today to schedule a walkthrough of any building for a risk assessment, and start breathing better now!

Eliminate Dryer Vent Danger Today with AdvantaClean of Cary & Apex!

dryer_vent_cleaningMany people do not know that dryer vents pose a serious threat to homes, apartment buildings, businesses or office buildings in the form of a greatly increased risk of fire damage.  Buildings which house electric dryers (as opposed to gas dryers) are 250% more likely to experience a fire due to dirty and clogged vents.  But this does not mean fires do not happen in gas dryers. Maintenance and care are critical strategies that can prevent catastrophe in commercial and residential clothes dryers.

A clothes dryer by design creates an excessive amount of heat, which means there are components within the dryer itself that can experience extreme temperatures.  Considering the types of fabrics that go into a dryer, it is easy to see how important safety really is with continued use.

The most likely area for the possibility of fire is always within the vents.  These vents can amass a buildup of fine flammable materials over an extended period of time and usage.  If not cleaned regularly, these vents full of combustible lint can quickly turn into a problem if not cleaned on a regular basis.

There are four ways to identify whether the vents in a dryer need to be cleaned:

  • Clothing is still wet after the drying cycle.
  • The dryer feels exceptionally hot to the touch during or after the cycle.
  • There is an Increase in the energy bill.
  • Clothes have a “musty” smell when they are removed from the dryer.

These four are key indicators that a dryer is failing due to lack of ventilation.  If a clogged vent is allowed to remain unattended, chances of the unit failing will increase dramatically, and chances of a fire will increase as well.

Four important possibilities for reducing a dryer’s fire risk in a home or business are:

  • Make sure to clean the lint screen before (and after) every load!
  • Replace any outdated white vinyl venting immediately with an approved aluminum vent system.
  • Call AdvantaClean of Cary and Apex AT LEAST once a year to schedule an annual professional vent cleaning!  Heavily used dryers should be cleaned even more frequently.

Do not let a perfectly good dryer go to waste for something as simple as a dirty vent.  And do not let the same easy fix be the cause of a residential or commercial fire either!  Call AdvantaClean of Cary and Apex and have this issue resolved properly by trained professionals.

Got Mold? Think AdvantaClean of Cary & Apex NC

mold_removal_faqsMany Triangle residents have allergic reactions to mold when they come in contact with the spores in the air they breathe every day.  Mold exposure can happen anywhere and in any building where mold could grow indoors, and mold can grow in any building!  AdvantaClean of Cary/ Apex wants to prevent and manage health problems due to mold exposure here in towns of Cary and Apex, and Western Wake and Johnston County.

There are many causes for mold to grow indoors, and several tell-tale signs and symptoms to warn when mold is present.

It is important to note that mold can form and grow in any area of a home or business:

  • Bathrooms/Restrooms: Mold loves to grow in humid environments.  Home bathrooms become humid from hot showers, or standing water left in the sink.  Shower or locker rooms in a gym can be at risk as well due to high frequency of steam in the air, so ventilation is key to minimize the problem. 
  • Kitchens:  Boiling water for pasta or steam from a coffee maker can create condensation in a ceiling or on the wall which could lead to mold growth.
  • Laundry Rooms:  A dryer is a major source of humidity in the laundry room.  The combination of wet clothes and high heat can release a lot of moisture into the air, especially if the dryer vent is dirty and not functioning properly!  This is another problem that AdvantaClean of Cary can solve!
  • Basements:  These underground rooms can be mold headquarters. Since basements or cellars are often poorly ventilated, any amount of water which enters does not have an easy way out.  Leaky pipes or a heavy rain can introduce moisture into the air which can linger, causing mold to form.  Generally, this mold will go unnoticed for longer periods, and flourish since basements are not usually frequented as much as other rooms of the home or office. 
  • Walls and Ceilings: Mold that forms in the walls or ceiling of a room is unseen, and can remain unresolved until a professional mold inspection, testing and remediation is performed.

The signs that mold has entered into a residence or commercial building are not always visible.  Neurological symptoms like dizziness, memory loss, headaches, shortened memory or trouble concentrating can be caused by mold spores polluting the air.  At the first sign or possibility of mold in a building, it is imperative to call AdvantaClean of Cary immediately to remedy the situation!  Mold is a serious issue and AdvantaClean is here to help.

Backed Up Pipe Problems in the Home or Office?

sewage_removalAdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex Can Make It Right! Water damage is never a very good experience when it happens in the home or office.  When the damage comes from the plumbing itself, water and all types of other waste, food scraps and even sewage come flooding into a space.  This can be a major problem for everyone in the building or home environment.

AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex knows how to remedy these situations properly, and with a strategy of professionalism and urgency!

Cleaning all the damage up quickly is crucial for everyone involved for three critical reasons:

  • Water damage causes mold.  If not quickly and properly removed, water can cause deep- seated problems to emerge down the road.  Any moisture left behind after pipes back up can eventually lead to an outbreak of mold in a home or office.  Mold is a health hazard, and is difficult to remediate.  Wasting time getting water cleaned up can lead to a much bigger problem down the road.
  • Waste water from backed up pipes brings toxins into the home or office.  Particles in the water that comes from pipes, whether it is sewage or decayed food matter, can bring toxins into the air which flows throughout the building.  These pollutants can be detrimental to the health of everyone in the building if not eradicated promptly.  The AdvantaClean Environmental team of Cary/ Apex will safely remove all hazardous materials using standard IICRC cleanup practices, so as to ensure the safety of everyone in the home or place of business.
  • Improper cleanup can be structurally damaging.  If water is not removed from a building promptly and properly, it can seep into porous walls and floors and get into the wooden structure of a building.  This water can cause a slow rot in the wood that will compromise the integrity of the structure, and lead to major damage in the future.

When pipes back up, waste no time in contacting AdvantaClean Environmental of Cary/Apex!  Our professionals will get the space cleared out safely so life and business can resume as usual.
