Once surfaces with growth have been removed, technicians will use a special sealing chemical on the once affected area in order to contain any growth that could have potentially be left, preventing it from growing in the future.

In order for our administrative team to get a better idea of what our technicians' work will be per job, the crew chief will make out a sketch plan of the property's dimensions, where specific measures will be mentioned. This also supports the estimating process. 

When there is a risk of water damage, it is important to call professionals as soon as possible and remove any standing water. One of the first things our crew does after analyzing damages in your property, is to remove the affected areas’ baseboards. Here is where the technician will be measuring the moisture levels throughout the drying process.

Our Crew Chief is working hard to get all that dust and dirt out of those vents. Using compressed air instead of a brush really makes a difference. That’s why SERVPRO of Alexandria invests in state of the art equipment in order to properly service Central Louisiana. Duct cleaning never looked better.

Black Mold? If a fire and water restoration company says "black mold" without having a mold report BE VERY WEARY OF THEM. Its common to say "black mold" but the truth is most people have no idea what it is unless its sampled by a licensed mold inspector or industrial hygienist, sent to a lab and identified as such within a report.

When people say "black mold" typically they mean Stachybotrys chartarum. The following is a link to the center for disease control with FAQ's:

SERVPRO of Alexandria follows strict guidelines regarding the remediation of any kind of suspicious growth. If you want to be 100% sure that your mold issue has been handled correctly then give us a call. There is only one way to do this type of work so except nothing less.

These patches of mold were caused by the condensation and moisture buildup between the bedroom wall and the opposing room's bathtub plumbing. The service door cut out in the wall revealed the leak which we fixed and then treated the walls, after scraping, with an antifungal agent.

The fire started in the breakroom on the bottom floor of the building from a microwave.  The fire department arrived within minutes to put the fire out, but there was heavy smoke throughout the lower level of the building.  We were on site within 15 minutes from receiving the call from the property manager. We were prepared to take instant action since we had set up an ERP (Emergency Ready Profile) with management previously. We immediately set air scrubbers throughout the lower level to limit the smoke damage and then started removing affected contents from the source room. By 9 pm we had the microwave room completely taken apart and cleaned up. Our crews continued cleaning all the rooms affected by the smoke. Ultimately, the customer was quite pleased.

The call to our SERVPRO franchise meant an immediate response to this backed up sewage issue in a central Louisiana building. We have the skilled technicians and the resources to remove the water, disinfect and deodorize the lobby, and make the area functional, "Like it never even happened."

This photo is an example of how in select water damage situations SERVPRO of Alexandria are able to remove the baseboard or vinyl molding at the base of the wall and drill several 1/2" holes in between the studs along the base of the wall. Air movers are then placed along the wall blowing drying air. This helps increase circulation within the wall cavity and speeds up the drying process while avoiding cutting into the drywall.  When the area is completely dry the holes can be hidden when the baseboard or vinyl molding is replaced.

The flooding from this storm covered the floor of this home in Alexandria leading to severe wicking which destroyed the carpeting and drywall. Demolition and discarding of saturated materials are sometimes the only options. Drying out and preparing for a rebuild on the storm-damaged rooms follows.
