It's Time to Have Your Carpet Cleaned by a Professional

Over time, our carpets accumulate enough soil, indoor spills and accidents to the point that they need more than your typical cleaning. There are times when you will need professional attention, whether it’s after an incident that has caused fire or water damage or simply a long time between professional cleanings.

Severe Damage:

Carpet that has experienced water damage in the aftermath of a flood or fire will need to be cleaned professionally. This is because mold can quickly gain a foothold if the appropriate water extraction and cleaning measures have not been taken. Water damage can also hide underneath the carpet that appears to have been cleaned, fostering further growth of mold and causing potential structural damage.

Bed Bug Infestation:

The New York area is experiencing an unfortunate resurgence in the numbers of bed bugs, and if your home or building has experienced an infestation, you will need professional carpet cleaning. It is vital that any bed bug removal company performs thorough measures to ensure the complete eradication of bed bugs.

Heavy Use and Delicate Carpets:

Commercial carpeting that is found in hotels or other high-traffic areas will need a professional touch to ensure that it’s cleaned properly. Regular cleanings will keep it in good condition. Residential customers with delicate pieces like Oriental rugs will benefit from the experience and skill of a professional cleaner. You can obtain the results you desire without risk of damage to your carpeting.

DASO Cleaning & Restoration can clean any type of carpeting or upholstery. We provide professional and routine services or emergency restoration services to our New York customers. Contact us at (718) 893-0252 or visit our website for additional information.

Reasons to Leave Mold to the Experts

Mold is dangerous and very resilient as it resists typical removal efforts. It's important to leave mold remediation professionals with the right equipment and training to get the job done completely and safely. Partial removal only allows the remaining mold to flourish once more, and severe cases of mold should not be disturbed by homeowners or untrained individuals, as they risk ill effects from exposure.

• Mold can be toxic. There are many different species of mold, and an infestation of these fungi can include more than one. It's important to understand that certain types of mold are very dangerous to your health. Mold can cause anything from mild skin irritation and allergy-like symptoms to eventual lung disease.

It is paramount that homeowners identify potential mold infestations as soon as possible to minimize their exposure. If you suspect you have mold in your home, contact a mold remediation expert right away. They can perform the appropriate inspection and removal measures as necessary.

• Expert mold remediation solves the problem. Because mold infiltrates nearly all aspects of the structure, mold remediation must be a comprehensive process that locates and eliminates mold in every place it can hide. Mold remediation will also assist in preventing the return of a mold colony. Controlling moisture is the key to controlling mold, which is why water damage restoration often includes mold remediation after a flood event.
• The sooner you act, the easier mold removal will be. Mold grows very quickly, like most types of fungi. It only takes a single spore to start a colony, and mold spores naturally occur in the very air we breathe. They only become a true health hazard when they are present in large quantities, such as in a mold colony. It only takes a little moisture for mold to begin growing, as it can use almost anything in your home for food.

How to Check for Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are resilient and persistent pests that can live almost anywhere. Travelers often discover unwanted passengers returning home with them, which can begin a nightmare at home.

This video explains how identifying bed bugs is one of the greatest weapons against them. Inspecting your hotel headboards, mattresses, and bed clothes for signs of their presence is a must. Keeping your bags packed while traveling and placing small goods in plastic bags can help to prevent you from bringing any bugs back home. Check everywhere for bed bugs—under furniture and in the smallest of crevices. Be sure to immediately request a different room from a hotel manager if you identify their presence.

Why You Should Act Now if Your Home Has Water Damage

Water damage can be caused by several things—the aftermath of a fire, a flood, or a plumbing incident. Whatever the cause, water damage should be addressed as soon as possible. Bacteria and mold can gain a very rapid foothold in areas with water damage, especially within walls, under floors, and around upholstered furniture.

The Dangers of Mold and Bacteria:

Water damage creates an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Mold is a fungus that can feed on almost anything, but it needs moisture in order to grow. The same goes for bacteria, which thrives in dark and moist environments. For homes with severe water damage located behind walls or underneath the floor, the growth of mold and bacteria may go on unchecked because homeowners are unaware of the issue. This creates a serious health risk with any building with water damage that has not been treated immediately. As mold grows and reproduces, it releases spores into the air that can cause symptoms as mild as itchy and irritated skin to potentially becoming an avenue for lung disease over time.

Controlling Mold Growth:

The key to addressing issues with mold and bacteria is to have any water damage assessed and treated as soon as possible after the incident that caused it. A qualified damage restoration specialist can not only perform thorough water extractions, but can identify any potential areas where mold may have already begun to grow. Additional measures including mold remediation may be necessary in such an event.
