Space Heater Safety

5/28/2022 (Permalink)


 When in need of additional warmth many people use a portable heater or space heater. While they provide extra heat  space heaters are an alternate source of heat and aren't intended to be a primary heating source. Space heaters are responsible for 1/3 of home heat fires and 80% of home heat deaths.  Be mindful of the safety tips below when using a portable heater or space heater not only at home but also in cold offices. As any heating element can catch fire, follow the safety tips below to ensure you/your family's safety. 

  • Never leave children or pets unattended near the heating element
  • Keep 3' clearance from any flammable products (furniture,curtains,bedding, clothing)
  • Always place heater on a stable surface  ( to avoid tipping )
  • Never use extension cords 
  • Always shut heater off when not in use 
  • Do Not leave on when going to bed or leaving the home
  • Plug directly into a wall outlet never use a power strip 
  • Never pull by the cord to unplug (Unplug by the adapter)
  • Be sure the cord isn't hot to touch, check for split wires 
  • Be sure to have a smoke alarm 

In the event a fire occurs We're here to help! Contact your local SERVPRO of Dartmouth /New Bedford!

Are your Air Ducts Dirty?

5/1/2022 (Permalink)

    Your office's air ducts circulate all of the air throughout the day. This means clean air is healthy air! The air that circulates into your ducts is the same air that fills your home and is breathed in by you and your employees each day. We all know the importance of clean and filtered air.  Cleaning your air ducts is an easy process, so let's not delay!  Dust particles are cleaned  away by powerful vacuums, ensuring they are not recirculating dirty air particles back into your home. They can be disinfected also if needed. 
 As the seasons change and you prepare for the colder/warmer months. It's time to schedule an air duct cleaning appointment. Ducts and heating systems become clogged with dust, filth, and other allergens over time. Cleaning your air ducts from time to time aids in the removal of contaminants that could be bothersome to you and your family, especially if you have breathing problems, asthma or allergies.   Therefore your air ducts have an important role in keeping your air clean and healthy. They move air from your cooling and heating system in and out of each office, providing clean consistent inside air quality making your business space more comfortable and healthy. You can do this by removing the dust particles and pollutants from the ducts, cleaning supply and return air ducts, diffusers, and registers in each room. By doing annual duct cleanings you can prevent the following concerns in your office.
  • Mold
  • Dust
  • Air ducts infested with insects
  • Air quality in the home is improved.
  • It helps to reduce allergy triggers.
  • Costs of energy / Less expensive utility bills

Recently, our techs were called to the rescue at a local veterinarian’s office. Thankfully it was not for a biohazard case! But what they saw was a true crime: dusty air ducts. Because of the nature of the business, pet dander and fur contributed to the excess amount of dust trapped in the vents. 

We’re glad they called SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford  to handle the clean up and get the vents looking brand —or, you know, “Like it never even happened.” Our techs walked out of that office breathing better and cleaner for the fur babies that walk in. 

In additional to air duct cleaning, SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford also offers carpet cleaning and tile stripping services for our commercial clients, outside of our disaster restoration services.

What do a group of fish and a recent water damage SERVPRO of Dartmouth / New Bedford responded to have in common? They’re both a school. 

In the morning hours of a recent flash flooding, our crews were called in to attend to seepage at the entrance of a local school. Thankfully, the school was not yet in session. But that didn’t keep us from responding quickly and remediating the damage. 

As our technicians worked hard to restore the lobby where children would be entering through to begin another year of education, we took every precaution to ensure that all was dry and brought back to preloss condition. One of our main concerns with water damages is preventing mold growth, especially in an environment where lots of children will be present for extended periods of time.

Before & After an Air Duct cleaning.

Don’t you just love that clean smell? Of course, who doesn’t? But have you ever thought of what lurks in your buildings air ducts?

When it comes to air duct cleaning, not many people think about it. But according to the NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) “If your air ducts look dirty, they probably are.”

Though we clean thoroughly, we generate a lot of air pollutants such as dander, dust and chemicals. These air pollutants get sucked into the HVAC system and can circulate up to 7 times a day on average. Over the course of a year this causes buildups that amount to roughly 40 pounds of buildup for a house annually. Can you imagine what it is for a commercial building? The U.S. Department of energy has said that “25 to 40 percent of the energy used to heat/cool a home (or business) is wasted. When it’s not cleaned it makes it run harder and can make for a shorter life span.”

Having your air ducts cleaned has benefits:

- Helps restore efficiency

-Helps reduce potential of mold growth

-May help with offensive odors

SERVPRO of Marion/Middleborough specializes in air duct cleanings. Once our professionals inspect your commercial duct system, they have the equipment and the expertise to get the job done.

So, the next time you’re wondering what kind of party is going on in your air vents, give SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford a call at (508) 946-2397!

How Clean is the Air in Your Commercial Work Space?

6/26/2018 (Permalink)

HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. A HEPA filter works by filtering air and trapping dangerous particles. The smaller mesh design helps to trap smoke, pollen, dander and other fine particles that traditional filters miss. The HEPA filter design is essentially similar to the way a water filtration system works. 

SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford only uses the highest quality HEPA filter machines in order to fully eradicate mold and other particles from the air. It is a vital component to purifying the toxins and that pollute the air we breathe. SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford uses equipment with a HEPA filter after sewage and similar category 2 and 3 losses, mold mitigation to remove the mold spores from to prevent health hazards as well as contamination of previously uncontaminated areas of the building, as well as biohazard cleanup jobs where a room or structure is contaminated.

Water Damage or Flooding? Contact SERVPRO Dartmouth/New Bedford today at (508)999-2380

The photo pictured to the right shows a job we were called in on last year where there was an extensive amount of water damage present due to roofing issues. A severe tropical storm had made its way down the SouthCoast and into New Bedford, causing the roof on this commercial property to become unsecured, and allowing water to find its way in & begin accumulating.

Immediately after we received the call, our highly trained team of technicians rushed in and began extracting the water. After extraction, we began setting up dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the area and prevent mold growth.

Due to our quick emergency response times, SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford was able to prevent further damage caused to the property while saving the customer money.

Benefits to a clean workplace- Fairhaven, MA 02719

11/13/2017 (Permalink)

In our career-driven day and age; most people tend to spend as much time at the office as they do at home, if not more. A clean, healthy work environment can impact business in more ways than you may think.


Having a tidy, professional appearance portrayed to customers and business associates, who frequent your business, is probably the most obvious benefit. A clean office space can portray your business as organized, competent and professional upon first impressions. The same way you wouldn’t show up to an important meeting with disheveled clothing on; you would not want your office space to give the impression your business as messy, neglected or chaotic. Even if your work space doesn't have frequent customer traffic a clean commercial space can improve business in many ways.

Here are a few ways routine commercial cleaning by SERVPRO can drive revenue & productivity for your business:

-Healtheir environment- keeping air & surface quality high reduces unanticipated employee ‘sick’ days.

-Improved morale & productivity in employees

-Safer work environment- Avoid and/or reduce: the number workers compensation injuries, spread of viruses and diseases

50% of Businesses Never Reopen! Dartmouth, MA 02747

11/8/2017 (Permalink)

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): “Almost 50 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster because just a few inches of water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. During the 5 year period of 2006-2010, the average commercial flood claim had amounted to just over $85,000.” With the raise in construction and residential and commercial building prices on the rise, we can suppose that that figure has only increased over the last 7 years.

While commercial property insurance may cover your structure and belongings, depending on your policy endorsements, loss of business revenue can be a major factor for whether or not your business survives. Regardless of annual income; an unexpected halt in revenue accompanied by a slow claims process, can affect businesses of all sizes. Whether your business generates hundreds of dollars, or hundreds of thousands, per day; minimizing damage quickly can potentially save your business.

What Business Owners should know about Mold

11/11/2016 (Permalink)

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution
If you discover mold in your business, do not attempt to take care of it on your own. The safety of your staff and the public could be put at risk if it's not address properly. Please call the professionals at SERVPRO Dartmouth/New Bedford. We are trained and registered by the State of Massachusetts to safely and effectively perform mold remediation services. We are locally owned & operated, and respond to emergencies 24 hours a day. We are highly trained in the most up to date mold remediation techniques.
 

Mold Removal vs Mold Remediation...What's the difference? 

Since microscopic mold spores exist naturally almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold. This is a fallacy.

A qualified restoration company understands the science behind mold and mold growth. SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford has the training and expertise to remediate the mold in your home or business. Mold remediation focuses on getting mold levels back to normal, natural levels.

Every mold damage scenario is different and requires a unique solution, but the general mold remediation process stays the same. Here's what the process entails:

  • Step 1: Emergency Contact 508-999-2380
  • Step 2: Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
  • Step 3: Mold Containment
  • Step 4: Air Filtration
  • Step 5: Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
  • Step 6: Cleaning Contents and Belongings
  • Step 7: Restoration
