When the upstairs unit had a washing machine mishap in this Lodi apartment, the ceiling below had significant water damage. SERVPRO techs cut away the sagging ceiling and dried the floor joist so repairs could happen quickly.

When SERVPRO technicians handle water damage cleanup in Montvale homes, they do not remove an entire wall when only a portion has water loss. They measure above the waterline and cut away only the damaged portion of sheetrock that wicked water. This assists in making repairs fast and easy.

Sometimes a home disaster looks worse before it looks better. After widespread water damage in a Westwood home, the techs needed to perform a wide area of controlled demolition removing the sheetrock on the walls and ceiling. However, the floor did have any seepage and needed drying and cleaning only.

When strong storms rolled through Fair Lawn, storm damage left a large amount of water in the basement. SERVPRO techs arrived quickly and extracted the water. It was necessary to cut away the damaged areas on the sheetrock for complete drying.

This basement laundry room in a Paramus commercial property had plumbing issues that affected two walls and the ceiling. SERVPRO technicians were called in to address the wet walls post-repair of the plumping and remove the water and remediate the mold damage. 

Snow and ice bring their own brand of storm damage to Paramus properties. When gutters freeze with water in them, the weight can pull them away from the structure causing leaks within. SERVPRO can extract the water and determine the repairs necessary to make it “Like it never even happened.”

A homeowner in Paramus contacted us about a fire damage emergency. A fire caused major fire and soot damage to the home. Our specialists arrived quickly and evaluated the property. After we assessed the damage, we then created a restoration plan. SERVPRO of Paramus was able to restore this property to pre-damage condition.

The plumbing failed and spewed water onto this hardwood floor in a Mahwah Township kitchen. SERVPRO arrived and removed the water, repositioned the fixtures and appliances, to salvage as much as possible. The removed hardwoods can be dried and reset once the plywood subfloor has been dried to prevent delamination and mold growth. A small, controlled demolition limits the amount of rebuilding needed to restore this kitchen to its preloss condition.

The heat from the fire circulated throughout the house in Hillsdale and deposited sooty residues on all surfaces. This mess can be cleaned up by SERVPRO techs with special sponges and detergents. The dark spots are concentrated soot particles ionized and attracted to the screw heads in the drywall. We can save our customer money and a quicker restoration with just a prime coat of paint after the wipe down. Much better than demolishing the walls. We do whatever is best for our neighbors.

The small hole indicates a much larger problem in this Paramus store. The plumbing leak must be repaired, and then our SERVPRO technician can remove the water damaged area of the ceiling, dry out the above cavity, and apply a biocide to disinfect the area. We can do this without disrupting customer traffic, much to the satisfaction of our client. General Contractor License #: 13VH001305854800

This home suffered roof damage caused by a storm that hit there home. Due to the high winds & possibly lose shingles, several shingles flew off the roof causing water to seep in to the home. We first had the roof tarped to prevent more damage from occurring followed by mitigating the interior.

Here is a photo of an air scrubber we use for several different reasons but in this example we are using it to remove mold spores in the air while we perform mold remediation. An air scrubber is an air filtration system with a HEPA filter that removes particles in the air and limits cross-contamination. 

Take a look at the amount of mold found behind these lower kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately, it is hard to check for mold behind cabinets without actually removing them. It is common for there to be some mold due to the amount of moisture found nearby from appliances like a dish washer which can have leaky connections or pipes. That is why it is important to check the connections between these types of appliances to make sure moisture is not escaping. 

Local large chain restaurant in Paramus, NJ suffers from a broken sprinkler system pipe. This photo shows the main entrance to the restaurant where the waiting area for customers is covered with about a half an inch of standing water in some areas. This type of scenario doesn't allow a business to operate so we knew we need to act quickly to minimize business interruption & get them back running. 

This residence may look like there is not any damage occurring from an oven fire, however what you cant see is the layer of soot left on the walls, ceilings, furniture and personal belongings. Here is one of our technicians using a chemical sponge to wipe away soot from the walls.

This mess is a result of a fire occurring in the attic located on the level above. This fire produced an extensive amount of damage to the home. Although it took a lot of time and effort not to mention two 30 yard dumpsters our team got it done. 

Take a look at how much water this carpet is holding on to. Here you can see the homeowner was trying to extract the water with their own shop vac but they weren't able to handle the large carpeted area with all the water it had absorbed. This is when our technicians took over with our powerful truck mount water extractor to soak up all that water before removing the carpet. 

This photo shows our team using air movers to dry out the storage area of this children's clothing store. We handle not just residential damages but also commercial spaces like this one.

This photo shows this surgical eye center in Fair Lawn, NJ undergoing mitigation. Our team set up containment to keep the area as sterile as possible. The reason for the containment was due to asbestos found on site as well as poor air quality testing showing high mold spores count. We tried to limit any contamination with the unaffected areas. 

Sometimes we fall into situations where a loss site we are called to doesn't have any power for us to run or use equipment. We, at SERVPRO Of Paramus, will still be able to get the job done by providing a generator on site to produce electricity to get everything up and running. 

Here is a photo of our ozone machine in action at a home in Rutherford, NJ. This is being used to counteract the smoke produced from a fire in this home.Ozone treatment is used to deodorize, disinfect, kill or remove dangerous or irritating airborne particles.

Here is a shot of one section of our warehouse where we store some of our drying equipment. This 14,000 square foot facility is not just used to hold our equipment and tools but can be used to store customer belongings that need to be held in storage until mitigation/restoration is completed. 

This water loss located in River Vale, NJ started in the second floor bathroom and made its way through the ceiling below and onto these hardwood floors shown. Our first priority was saving the hardwood floors with the use of drying mats. Our technicians set up containment to keep the nearby kitchen safe from debris. 

Check out our technician extracting water from this carpet with the use of a weighted extractor. Although tedious it is very good at getting moisture out. In fact it can remove up to 97% of water in carpet.

On Saturday I had the good fortune of taking my daughter to her first Yankees game. It was against the Red Sox, sold-out and a beautiful, hot day. The Yanks lost but I could not have had a better day with my daughter. 2 years ago when Derek Jeter retired, we watched his last game together at home. She turned to me and said "Great, now I'll never get to see him play in person". Now it's Brett Gardner, she saw him play AND he hit a Home Run.

Janet and Tony working hard planning events. Your Fire, Water and Mold Remediation specialists at SERVPRO of Paramus. This picture was taken towards the end of a 12 hour day... a moment of temporary insanity for sure.

I hate when the weather changes. Sometimes though, there's beauty in autumn. I took this picture off my front deck. The leaves are all gone and I can see out to the mountains. Sometimes you just have to take a minute and enjoy the things we usually take for granted.
