water damage: What Is The Value of A Home, Having Gutters?
- 08/08/22 01:08 AM
How many homes or buildings have you seen, that do not have gutters? I see so many buildings and homes that do not have gutters. This is not good. The purpose of gutters is to divert the water from the roof and channel the water from the roof to downspouts and get the water away from the foundation of the home. We do not want to have water dropping to the foundation of any home or building. Homes without gutters and downspouts create water damage that drops to the foundation of the building and this can create water damage issues to … (3 comments)

This is a shout-out to Vickie De Nicola. Thank you, Vickie. Vickie provided this photo and I have decided to mention her as well as share her testimony to you as well as introduce her to any and all, who wants to hear about CBD Oil.
As I reflect back on life and life, I wanted to stop, to give thanks. In our busy lives, we sometimes are not as thankful as we could be or should be. When was the last time, we took the time to give thanks for not only the good that is happened to us but the bad? Yes, … (6 comments)
water damage: Water Damage, Decay And Mold Damage.
- 07/13/21 09:36 PM
Have you ever seen Water Damage, Wood Rot, and Mold Damage, all at the same time? Well, here we are. Here is an example. Below, is the story. Once upon a time, there lived a man and woman, who lived in a home that had a smell to their home and they did not know, what the smell was. Although, things did smell musty and they had had two other companies to their home to take care of the issue. David Snell came and did an inspection with an infrared red scan to walls and ceilings to home and found an anomaly … (2 comments)
All of the above was cleaned up. Notice how clean things are now. All of the wood rot and decay and termites and mold are gone and removed. Does it look a little better? When you are working on a home, make sure you are exhausting or putting the house under negative pressure so you do not have debris and wood dust and sheetrock ducts flying everywhere and put plastic around things to protect.
It is simply amazing how things progress if you … (3 comments)

This is a photo of David Snell who is the owner and operator of Executive Restoration cleaning carpet and area rugs. He has his health back and he is going like an energizer bunny and he has much to be thankful for.
Did you know that David Snell started out cleaning carpet and furniture with a $150.00 machine that he bought from Kmart, back in 1987, that he had to hook up to the kitchen sink for water to clean carpet with. He then got into portable carpet cleaners and then truck mount carpet cleaning units. He has done his fair share … (3 comments)
water damage: Some Uses of The Infrared Red Camera aka Thermal Scan.
- 07/10/21 10:11 PM
This technology can be used for medical as well as electricians as well as restoration companies. Let me explain. 1. Medical purposes. Used to detect medical anomalies or things that do not look normal. I had a very dear friend of mine, who was acting very unusual one day when she came over to my house. I asked her to turn around and I scanned her body. What I saw, was one area of her body that did not look normal in the scan. It was an anomaly. An anomaly is something that is not the norm and something was certainly not … (2 comments)
water damage: Can Mold Grow About Anywhere and Where Can It Grow?
- 07/09/21 11:37 PM
Most people do not know this, but Mold can grow about anywhere. Did you know that Mold can grow on about any surface if it has a food source? For example, a plastic fence. As long as there is a food source and moisture, you've got mold. Did you know that dust is a food source? Did you know that dead organic matter is a food source for mold? Look at the forest floor for an example. Mold can even feed on dead insects and Mold can feed on animal and insect feces. How about dust mites as a food source. Did … (2 comments)

We use our washing machine to wash our clothes. How many people ever think, about washing the washing machine, in an empty load. Do enough people realize, that everything, has to be cleaned?

water damage: Have you cleaned out your gutters?
- 06/30/21 04:55 PM
When was the last time, you cleaned out your gutters or had someone, clean them out for you? What do you think would happen, if you did not clean out your gutters? Your gutters would fill up with leaves and debris and your gutters would flow over with water and affect the foundation of your house and could create issues to the foundation slab the house is built on. For crawl spaces, water could overflow and you could create water intrusions into your crawl space. I would suggest you clean your gutters out at least yearly but I know some who clean … (4 comments)
water damage: Why Do You Think The Paint is Peeling, on, this ceiling?
- 06/25/21 05:17 PM
How and why do you think this paint is peeling here in this photo? I get asked this question all the time. There are a number of reasons, why this occurs. Why does paint, peel on ceilings and walls? Lets discuss this? Was the surface prepared, properly? Is there water damage or has there been water damage, in this area before? Does the area, have high humidity, such as bathrooms? Is the exhaust fan working and is the humidity being drawn out of the room and into the out side, from the bathroom? When the room was painted, were the surfaces prepared properly? … (4 comments)

- 06/20/21 08:48 PM
Do you see a problem or issue, with this photo? Look, very carefully. I would remove this duct work as well as replace this duct work. Replace with new. Notice the insualtion that is around the duct work? This acts like a sponge and holds water so it is best to remove it.
This was a crawl space that had water damage from the kitchen and water affected the kitchen area as well as water got down into vent and the weight of the water disengaged duct work in crawl space. Notice, any other issue? Do you see any other issue?

Could Water Damage, Equal Mold and Wood Rot? How many times have I heard, that someone has had Water Damage and the person has wanted to save money and let it dry out, on its own? Since I have been in business, since 1987, I hear of this quite often. Is this a wise thing to do? I certainly would not advise it but some people feel like this is the way to save money but they are not saving money, in the long run. Lets also look at safety and what water damage can turn into.

water damage: Be Prepared for Smoke and Soot, in Your Home. Got Fire Damage?
- 07/09/12 04:46 AM
Having a fire in your home is one of the most disturbing, unsettling things that can happen to a homeowner. After double checking to be sure everyone is safe and sound, there is the daunting task of dealing with the aftereffects of the fire—the destruction, smell, smoke, and general mess. The smoke and soot must be removed before cleaning and deodorizing can begin. It will usually save time and money to consult an expert in fire restoration and remediation after it’s safe to reenter. New technology allows professionals to reclaim items you may have felt were … (2 comments)
water damage: Newlywed New Home Blues
- 07/02/12 01:29 PM
Last year I attended the beautiful wedding of the daughter of one of my friends. Everything appeared to be idyllic. After the honeymoon, the couple returned to the suburbs of a large metropolitan city where they had purchased a new home. It was a lovely two-story home, and since they both had wonderful jobs, they were able to decorate it in a charming, comfortable way which suited their taste perfectly. My friend fairly beamed when she spoke of them, and it seemed as if their marriage had almost a fairy tale beginning. As a special surprise … (2 comments)
water damage: Water damage that lingers, past the clean up
- 07/01/12 02:25 AM
Many people live in homes where water damage has taken place. As home or property owners, we first think of taking care of the cause of the problem, and then most of us work on cosmetic issues like removing debris or replacing walls or painting. If you are a do-it-yourself type of person, you probably count yourself lucky if you feel you can do the job yourself. Whether you do the job yourself or call someone else in to help, however, your primary concern is usually money, especially in these difficult economic times. If you own commercial or … (0 comments)
water damage: Hole in your pocket or leak in your pipe?
- 06/11/12 12:11 PM
Recently in a large city not far from where I live, people began receiving water bills that were totally out of line and seemingly ridiculous. Some of them were well over $1000 for one month’s service. Of course residents complained—some to the municipality, some to the media, and most to their family, friends, and neighbors. One article I read gave statistics from the AAWA (American Water Works Association) that reported the possibility that a1/16″ leak could cause you to lose 970 gallons of water in a twenty-four hour period. They estimated the increase in your monthly … (2 comments)
water damage: To Repair or Not to Repair…Your Roof that is!
- 05/29/12 12:37 PM
The weather in our area this year has been quite unpredictable. We’ve had it all—lightning, serious rain, hail, strong winds, and tornadoes jumping from one community to the next ripping up trees and wreaking havoc on neighborhoods. The aftermath of all this was to rebuild and repair our damaged property as quickly and efficiently as possible. One of the most frequent predicaments faced by homeowners was whether to repair or replace roofs that had been battered or torn away. People were forced to seek help immediately and did not have much time to consider their options. That’s … (1 comments)

- 05/23/12 03:33 PM
Here is the second part of the flood disaster I outlined in the previous article. This part will focus more on the remediation process that had to take place. It was a timely process, and the family was definitely put through a lot as well. In the end, though they pulled through great and were able to happily move back into their homes. As I proceeded with getting the homeowners moved into a hotel, I discovered that returning all five condos back to normal status would be a battle that was going to be more difficult than any other challenge … (2 comments)
