Wrong Detergent in Dishwasher Causes Flooding in Hibbing Kitchen?

8/3/2023 (Permalink)

A woman watches soap bubbles and water from her dishwasher flood the kitchen. We respond to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in St. Louis County.

I had no idea putting the wrong kind of soap in the dishwasher could cause my kitchen floor to flood. I was out of dishwashing detergent and substituted liquid soap, and the soap bubbled out of the dishwasher and onto the kitchen floor in minutes! I attempted to get the water off the floor and noticed the baseboards around the kitchen island were darkening from the water. Thankfully, I called the local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing team, and they came out right away and extracted the water, and set up air blowers and dryers to ensure the area was dried completely. Now you would never know there had been a kitchen catastrophe!

1/10/2023 (Permalink)

Mold grows behind wallpaper in a bathroom with a water leak. We are leaders in mold remediation services in Itasca County.

Mold is often a symptom of a water leak hiding somewhere in your home or business. If you notice a strong, musty odor or have recently had a water damage issue, you may have a mold problem. Mold will continue to be a regional challenge due to our climate, and once mold spores find the perfect moist conditions, they will land and colonize quickly, sometimes becoming visible in as little as 48 to 72 hours.

Our local team in Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing is a trusted leader in mold mitigation and removal services. Here are some tips from our website about things you can do and not do while waiting for help to arrive:

Important Facts:

  • Significant mold growth can occur in 48 to 72 hours
  • Mold may present a greater risk to children, the elderly, and anyone with respiratory problems
  • A strong, musty odor may indicate hidden mold behind drywall or under carpeting

What to Do:

  • Stay out of affected areas
  • Turn off the HVAC system and fans
  • Contact our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing offices for mold remediation services

What Not to Do:

  • Don’t touch or disturb the mold
  • Don’t blow air across any surfaces with visible or suspected mold growth
  • Don’t attempt to dry the area yourself
  • Don’t spray bleach or other disinfectants on the mold

6/27/2022 (Permalink)

A person is clearing dry pine needles from their rain gutter to prepare for wildfire season. We restore fire damage 24-hours a day in Bemidji.

Do you know that people cause 90 percent of fires in Minnesota? Our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing team responds to fire damage emergencies throughout the year. Here are some safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for improving your home’s survivability during a wildfire:

  • REMOVE leaves, pine needles, and other flammable material from the roof, gutters, and on and under the deck to help prevent embers from igniting your home
  • SCREEN areas below decks and porches with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent material from accumulating underneath
  • COVER exterior attic and soffit vents with 1/8” wire mesh to help prevent sparks from entering your home
  • ENCLOSE eaves to help prevent ember entry
  • INSPECT shingles or roof tiles
  • REPLACE missing shingles or tiles
  • COVER ends of tiles with bird stops or cement to help prevent ember penetration during a wildfire

Minnesota has adopted NFPA’s Firewise Program. This national program provides valuable information on preparing your home and reducing wildfire risk. It is a good idea to talk to your local forestry agency or fire department to learn more about the specific wildfire risk where you live.

Dangerous Hoarding Situation in Bemidji?

3/21/2022 (Permalink)

A garage is overflowing with hoarded clothing. We clean and restore hoarding scenes in Beltrami County.

Our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing team has the specialized training required to safely clean and restore hoarding environments. According to the National Fire Protection Association, hoarding situations are dangerous because:

Hoarding Increases Fire Risks

  • Cooking is unsafe if flammable items are close to the stove or oven
  • Heating units may be too close to things that can burn. They might also be placed on unstable surfaces. If a heater tips over into a pile, it can cause a fire.
  • Electrical wiring may be old or worn from the weight of piles. Pests could chew on wires, and damaged wires can start fires.
  • Open flames from smoking materials or candles in a home with excess clutter are very dangerous
  • Blocked pathways and exits may hinder escape from a fire

Hoarding Impacts First Responders

  • Hoarding puts first responders in harm’s way
  • Firefighters cannot move swiftly through a home filled with clutter
  • Responders can be trapped in a house when exits are blocked. They can be injured by objects falling from piles.
  • The weight of the stored items, especially if water is added to put out a fire, can lead to building collapse
  • Fighting fires is very risky in a hoarding home. It is hard to enter the house to provide medical care, and the clutter impedes the search and rescue of people and pets.

Bathroom after mold removed Remediated Bathroom

Every bathroom has the high potential of mold growth. Leaky pipes, wet clothes and excess humidity combined with improper ventilation make way for mold to form. If the cause is overlooked for any length of time, the damages will spread quickly. (In as little as 48 hours) There would be great benefits to periodically check all pipes for leaking or the possibility of mold growing, along with reducing the risk of health issues that could occur.

This home had a mold issue in the bathroom and the owner called SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing to come out. We remediated it after we performed an air quality check, which reads the particulates in the air. The air quality check is done by;

  1. Taking a reading outside
  2. Taking a reading in an area NOT of concern
  3. Taking a reading in the area of concern

Should you suspect a mold issue, give us a call at 218-999-9799 to schedule a professional assessment.

Let SERVPRO come to your rescue Got skunk odors?

When these little critters feel threatened, they will protect themselves by spraying a very potent liquid at the targeted threat. They can spray up to 15' away. It is so powerful that when the smell hits you, it feels like running into a brick wall. It stops you short and can cause temporary blindness and a lingering stench, depending on the level of spray from a light haze to a full on blast.

To avoid being sprayed by a skunk:

  1. Be cautious walking at night as that is when they like to wander about.
  2. Keep your dog on a leash
  3. Make your presence be known as skunks have poor eyesight. You don't want to surprise one.
  4. If you spot one, back up slowly and leave at first warning sign.
  5. Know the warning signs
  • The skunk freezes
  • The skunk does a handstand
  • The skunk rears up
  • The skunk stomps his front feet
  • The skunks tail goes straight up

How to Handle a Roof Leak?

4/6/2020 (Permalink)

During the rainy season in Northern Minnesota  two of the worst words a home or business owner can hear are ‘roof leak.’ With spring fast approaching there a few tips we would like to share with you about identifying the source area in the beginning, all the way to the leak potentially becoming an emergency.

First things first, here are a few of the many places water typically comes through your roof:

  1. Worn, broken or missing shingles
  2. Where nails have worked loose
  3. Corroded or poorly sealed roof flashing around vents, skylights, or chimneys
  4. Along the intersections of roof planes

Along with being a major inconvenience, a roof leak can cause serious problems for business and homeowners. They can ruin insulation, become a home for black mold to spread, damage interior ceilings and walls, rot the wooden framing, and above all – ruin your belongings.

Here are a few things to check up on that will cause your roof to leak:

  1. The age of your roof
  2. Brick chimneys
  3. Flashing
  4. Missing shingles
  5. Vent Boot/Pipe flashing
  6. Holes
  7. Complex roof architecture
  8. Clogged gutters
  9. Skylights
  10. Shiners/missing nail

A roof leak during a storm can become a major emergency, especially in a rainy Minnesota spring. However, after the storm is a whole other ballgame and that is where we, SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids and Hibbing come in. If water has affected the structure or contents of your home due to a leaky roof, we can work with you and your insurance company to clean up the mess as well assess and potentially restore your home as quickly as possible.

What to Do About Mold in Your Attic

4/6/2020 (Permalink)

Any home or business attic can fall victim to mold if a source of water is present. All it takes is a small water leak or excess humidity for mold to form in your Northern Minnesota home or business attic. During Minnesota's rainy season leaky roofs are very common, however, the important thing is to not let them go unaddressed. Mold can spread throughout your property in as little as 48 hours, so it is imperative that you frequently check your attic for signs of moisture or a leak in your roof. Mold can produce allergies and irritants to not only humans but pets as well, so if you suspect an issue, have an odor, or see visible growth call SERVPRO of Bemidji, Grand Rapids and Hibbing to inspect your attic.

The mold remediation process we use is quick and efficient to make sure we stop the spreading as soon as we can. Here is a breakdown of the steps we use during mold remediation:

  • Connect with the home or business owner and their insurance company
  • Inspection and mold damage assessment of the structure and belongings
  • Mold Containment (to prevent spreading to unaffected areas)
  • Air Filtration & HEPA Vacuuming
  • Removal of mold and mold infested materials
  • Spraying area with an antimicrobial (which is safe for humans and animals)
  • Cleaning the contents in the space
