Rugs damaged by water will be taken to our warehouse for special treatment and care. They will need to be dried carefully to minimize bleeding of colours and discolouration. Your rugs will be dried, cleaned and returned to your home after the complete drying of the rest of your home is completed.
Black mould (Statchybotrys chartarum) is greenish-black in colour and grows in conditions where there is an excessive amount of moisture over a long period of time. Water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks and condensation in small, damp places like bathrooms all create a perfect breeding ground for black mould. Black mould releases microtoxins, a noxious substance that can cause serious health problems for humans and pets.
As a commercial business owner, you may be concerned about the costs associated with biohazard cleanup services. However, many insurance policies do cover this type of service, especially if it is deemed necessary for the health and safety of your employees and customers. Our team at ServiceMaster Restore is experienced in working with insurance companies and can assist you in filing a claim.
