Did you know SERVPRO of Hernando offers duct cleaning services?

Most people don’t even think about their ducts system when deep cleaning their home but inside your HVAC system, fine dust collects on air duct surfaces, vents, motors and coils. Flakes of dead skin, hair and pet dander catch onto the dust, and before too long this process creates a dense, mat-like environment where bacteria, mold, dust mites and allergens can flourish. It’s hard to determine when its time for a cleaning but we’ve listed a few things below to watch for.

• Air Filters Get Dirty Too Fast.
• Unexplained Spikes in Your Energy Bill.
• Signs of Rodent or Insect Infestation.
• Dirt or Dust Around the Vents and Registers.
• Visible Mold Growth.
• Airflow isn't Consistent from Room to Room.
• Noises in the Ductwork.

If you notice any of these in your home or business, give us a call at SERVPRO of Hernando County 727-847-3000.

Hoarding: A Serious Situation

7/9/2018 (Permalink)

According to The Mayo Clinic, “Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.” Many people with hoarding disorder do not find their habits to be a problem.  

Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage such as hold newspapers, junk mail or packaging.  In New Port Richey, we often see hoarding lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats, and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard. 

SERVPRO of Hernando County encounters hoarding situations several different ways. Often, we are called for a fire or water loss and find the hoarding situation when we arrive on-site. A SERVPRO of Hernando County professional will communicate with the insurance company regarding their contents coverage, and after approval, contents can be packed out and possibly cleaned, dried, and stored by SERVPRO of Hernando County, or relocated to a storage facility so work on the fire or water loss can begin.  

Another was we encounter hoarding jobs is through calls from landlords, case workers, real estate agents, or family members, often after the death of a loved one. In these situation, the crew will see if they should look for any items of importance while they clean the job. Sometimes, family members will come and try to help the hoarder sort through their contents as well. 

Each case is very difficult, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, but SERVPRO of Hernando County professionals are her to help make it “Like it never even happened.” If you encounter a hoarding situation at one of your properties in Spring Hill, Brooksville, Ridge Manor, or with your insureds, call SERVPRO of Hernando County today.
