Tile Tear Out

This is the bathroom that was previously mentioned in the "Busted Heating Pipe" photo. After this water loss, SERVPRO determined that they would have to tear up the tile floor in order to remove the wet material under it. Some would think that water couldn't get past tile, but in fact it can! Notice the wet area coming from tub pipe. 

Our Equipment (Moisture Meter)

Used by SERVPRO technicians to detect or monitor moisture in wood, plaster, drywall, block, brick, roofing, and most materials found in a building or house. This is a prime tool used everyday to monitor the process and determine whether or there is still wet material present.

Indoor Ice Sculpture

This was a water loss over this cold winter that left behind a nice ice formation on the window from the ceiling to the floor. Water ran for quite some time on this job. The ice wasn't the only problem in this house.. Water made its way throughout about half of the entire house starting from the second floor bathroom. It spread out damaging the floor in the upstairs kitchen and living room area and came though the floor down into a bedroom and master bathroom. The entire damaged area was gutted on the first floor down to the studs. Upstairs was salvageable for the most part except for the flooring and some drywall that was cut out. SERVPRO of Columbia & Greene Counties completed there part of the job by removing anything that was water damaged and was in charge of drying the entire wet area.

Our Equipment (Hygrometer)

This photo shows a piece of equipment used often during our work day to day. It is called a Thermo Hygrometer and it is used to detect the temperature in a building and determine the levels of humidity. Humidity is a representation of the concentration of water vapour in the air where the value is shown as a percent. Thermo hygrometers have sensors which measure humidity of the air and temperature of the air and is noted for the drying process of each room in a house or business. It also calculates grains per pound, dew point, and vapor pressure. Knowing all this information and specs in your home is key to SERVPRO in order to know what kind of drying equipment is necessary to bring and begin drying as well as the drying process. 

SERVPRO and State Police

SERVPRO of Columbia & Greene Counties was called by the New York State Police to assist in cleaning some blood left behind from a prisoner in the back of a police car.

They cleaned the bio hazard with the right products by SERVPRO and was able to remove all blood in the car. We left the car squeaky clean ready for the next persons to be put in the back of the car. If you have any bio hazard issues that need to be cleaned, please call SERVPRO of Columbia & Greene Counties to help assist you in cleaning the issue. Bio hazard messes can be very dangerous and cause health issues.

After the water was removed they were able to begin making flood cuts on all of the walls in the basement to remove wet drywall that they later replaced. The flooring also was removed and replaced by SERVPRO to porcelain tile. The homeowner also had to have an excavation company come in a redo the entire drainage system around the house so this wouldn't happen again. SERVPRO helped make it "Like it never even happened."
