Does Your Boardman Commercial Property Have High Foot Traffic?
3/22/2023 (Permalink)
There are various methods for cleaning carpets, including steam cleaning, dry cleaning, and shampooing.
High foot traffic areas in commercial properties can attract all kinds of dust, dirt, and debris. In turn, those contaminants can be tracked all over your Willow Crest warehouse, and offices. Consider having your Poland commercial property’s carpets professionally cleaned by SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties. Carpet cleaning is the process of removing dirt, stains, and other contaminants from carpets. There are various methods for cleaning carpets, including steam cleaning, dry cleaning, and shampooing. The choice of method depends on the type of carpet, the level of soiling, and the desired results.
Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is one of the most popular methods of carpet cleaning. It involves using hot water and a cleaning solution to loosen dirt and stains, and then extracting the water and debris using a high-powered vacuum. This method is effective for deep cleaning carpets and removing tough stains.
Dry cleaning is another method of carpet cleaning, which involves using a dry cleaning compound or powder to clean the carpet. The compound is applied to the carpet, and then a machine is used to work the compound into the fibers of the carpet. The compound then attracts and absorbs dirt and other contaminants, which are then removed using a vacuum.
Shampooing is another method of carpet cleaning that involves applying a foamy shampoo to the carpet, and then agitating it with a machine to work the shampoo into the fibers. The shampoo is then removed using a vacuum, along with the dirt and other contaminants.
Professional carpet cleaners like SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties use a combination of these methods, depending on the type of carpet and the level of soiling on your Struthers commercial property. Regular carpet cleaning can help to extend the life of the carpet, and keep it looking and smelling fresh.

Did Your Sewage Back Up onto Your Commercial Property in Youngstown, OH?

There is never a convenient time for the sewage to back up in your Boardman commercial facility.
There is never a convenient time for the sewage to back up in your Boardman commercial facility. Luckily, SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties is always prepared for all types of losses, big and small. Sewage damage can be such an overwhelming disaster to your New Middletown commercial property, but in this blog, we can help you get an understanding of the situation for some peace of mind.
For further explanation, let’s examine the three types of contaminated water:
Category 1: “Clean Water”
- This is water from a clean source like a faucet or broken supply line
- It can quickly degrade into into Category 2 or 3 if left untreated (factors like temperature, time, and contact with contaminants can affect this outcome
Category 2: “Gray Water”
- This water has significant levels of contamination that could potentially cause discomfort or illness if ingested
- It could be from a washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow
- May contain bacteria and viruses
- Can rapidly degrade to Category 3 if left untreated
Category 3: “Black Water”
- This water is grossly unsanitary and any contact should be avoided at all costs
- It could be caused by flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth
- May contain harsh chemicals, microbes, and untreated sewage
Sewer damage is serious and can be far more penalizing than a lower category water damage case. Do not wait to have sewage damage cleaned up, especially not at an Austintown commercial property where others may come in contact with potentially dangerous water.

The Dangers of Leaving Water Unattended in Your Willow Crest Home
3/10/2023 (Permalink)
Water damage can be caused by a plethora of occurrences, the number one offender being leaking roofs.
Do you know what water damage is? Let’s look at a quick definition from our friends at Inspection Support Network, water damage can be defined as “Any type of physical damage caused to property that has come in direct contact with water.” Water damage can be caused by a plethora of occurrences, the number one offender being leaking roofs. Closely followed by appliances & equipment leaks, pipes & drains, sprinkler systems, and plain old Mother Nature.
Now that we know what water damage is, let’s discuss what it can entail. By the time water is found, it’s usually been sitting and spreading throughout the same spot for longer than desired. This would cause the water to spread around baseboards, through floors/ceilings, between cracks, and more. No matter the size of the puddle, all water damage in your Youngstown, East Liverpool, Austintown, or surrounding areas home or commercial property is bad.
For further explanation, here is our water service process…
- Emergency Contact
- Inspection: An estimator comes out to assess the damaged property (check for the source, check for contaminated water, categorize the type of water, survey the extent of damage, and inspect)
- Water Removal: Our teams come out to begin the restoration process (move-out service of damaged items, remove excess water, inspect carpeting/carpet pads, usage of water removal equipment)
- Drying: Our teams begin drying out the water damaged premises (usage of dehumidification & monitoring equipment to track progress)
- Cleaning & Sanitizing: Occurs after the drying process is complete and damages due to the water leak need to be assessed (content restoration, odor removal & deodorization, sanitizing treatments, proper disposal of all damaged materials)
- Restoration: Occurs when you need repairs and building services (board-ups, roof tarping, temporary fencing, move-out, temporary warehouse space, drywall removal & installation, etc.)
If you or someone you know is in need of water damage restoration services, call SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties today at (330) 536-7477 or visit our Website! Our teams have the skills and expertise to make it, “Like it never even happened.”

What is a Ground Blizzard in Homeworth, OH?
2/20/2023 (Permalink)
Always be prepared in the winter months by having a set of gloves, hat, boots, warm shoes and all the accessories needed to keep you warm in cold weat
According to Weather.gov, the most well-known blizzards are winter storms that produce several inches occurring with strong winds that cause blowing snow and whiteout conditions, but not all blizzards happen this way. In the Midwest, ground blizzards develop with little or no concurrent (or new) snowfall. The typical ground blizzard occurs when an Arctic cold front moves through the region, causing temperatures to drop and winds to increase quite rapidly, often reaching gusts of 50 to 60 mph.
If there are several inches of deep fresh snow on the ground, this strong wind will quickly pick up the snow and create whiteout conditions. Another reason these blizzards are dangerous is the cold temperatures that follow behind the Arctic front. Anyone stranded in their vehicle or forced to walk outside is at risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Always be prepared in the winter months by having a set of gloves, hat, boots, warm shoes and all the accessories needed to keep you warm in cold weather. It wouldn’t hurt to keep a blanket in your car as well as other heating essentials.
