Mildew is a surface fungus that easily develops on cardboard, books and even fabrics. Mildew usually grows in a flat pattern and may appear powdery. Mildew usually starts out white and may later turn to yellow, brown or black. It can usually be treated with a store bought cleaner and scrub brush. Mould is usually fuzzy in appearance and can be many different colours including white, yellow, blue, green, brown, gray and black. Mould will cause structural damage to your property and can cause numerous health issues.
Any construction project unrelated to the loss is considered non-insured work. At your request, we will provide a separate estimate for non-insured construction projects, and this work will require separate authorization and payment terms. If the non-insured work will delay the completion of an insured portion, then the situation must first be discussed with your Insurance Adjuster and the ServiceMaster Restore Project Manager.
Prevention is key when protecting your commercial property. While many restoration companies are only available to provide repair services after a disaster has already occurred, proactive planning is the best way to minimize the extent of damages when unexpected events happen. Our SRM Large Loss program provides businesses with access to a team of experienced professionals who specialize in assessing risks and creating customized plans that address potential disasters before they happen. We identify vulnerabilities and develop strategies to minimize the impact of a disaster, considering factors such as the size, location, and assets of each company. This approach ensures that our clients have detailed protocols they can follow in case of a catastrophic event such as severe weather or fire damage.
