Emergency water/fire damage
12/21/2021 (Permalink)
Life would be convenient if everything stayed on schedule. Things only happen when they're supposed to, and the weekends are only for rest and relaxation. Maybe in a perfect world…
But this is the real world. Disasters never take a day off. Sometimes the emergency you experience is at 3 am. That burst pipe in your basement isn't going to wait until Monday morning. Once the fire department extinguishes the blaze, someone's got to come out and start to clean up the mess.
That's why you call SERVPRO of Warren County. Your call will be answered 24/7, and we'll be there when you need us. We are Faster to Any Size Disaster. We are emergency services and here 365 days a year.
Restore vs. Replace
10/15/2021 (Permalink)
At SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield our goal is to minimize the disruption to tenants, owners, and property managers after a fire or water damage.
The cost of replacement after a loss is higher than the cost of restoration. It is very important that you work with a restoration company that does not have a “demo everything” approach to the process. Restoring versus replacing also helps with the recovery time, since the job is completed faster, and it reduces business interruption.
We are committed to provide immediate service to the residents. Our employees are trained to perform quality service and communicate with the homeowner or property manager every step of the way.
We will work hard to get your property to its preloss condition and make it “Like it never even happened.”

Cleaning services
10/14/2021 (Permalink)
Let’s be honest. Clean ducts aren’t necessarily at the top of our day-to-day priority list, but it’s important!
The phrase “duct cleaning” usually refers to cleaning heating and cooling systems such as an air conditioning unit (HVAC) or ventilation. If these pieces of equipment are not properly installed or maintained, their parts can collect dust or pollen. If this occurs in a humid or moist environment, this material can be released into parts of the home. Breathing this in can cause health effects. Essentially, failing to maintain your ducts can lead to poor air quality in the home.
Don’t let that happen to you! Call SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield for a duct cleaning.
Why SERVPRO?
- Our technicians have the skillset needed to give your home the detailed cleaning that it needs to look its best.
- We have the equipment and training needed to eliminate offensive odors from your home.
- An HVAC cleaning can help reduce the potential for mold growth.
Cleaning
10/14/2021 (Permalink)
We get lots of cleaning calls but every once in a while, we get the occasional off the wall request that no one else can tackle. Some of these include:
Biohazard
Cleaning up after a bio hazard situation requires a specific process for removal and disposal, as well as Personal Protective Equipment. One should not attempt to handle this situation without professional help. SERVPRO is certified and can clean and remove all affected areas and materials properly.
This could be from blood or trauma, hoarding, sewage, and chemical or gas spills.
Vandalism
Paint can be a tricky thing to clean up. But, when one vandalizes another’s property, it can be traumatizing. SERVPRO has skilled professionals and specific chemical combinations to remove graffiti and paint.
So, if you have a situation that requires professional services, give SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield a call at (513) 858-1071
SERVPROxide
10/4/2021 (Permalink)
Many people don't know that SERVPRO corporate employs its own chemist, who formulates and manages the company's own line of cleaning products. This is to ensure that the products we use are safe and friendly to the customers we serve. SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield regularly uses one of our newer products, SERVPROXIDE, on job sites that have contaminated water or mold. SERVPROXIDE is an EPA-registered, stabilized chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant and sanitizer.
Because many of the jobs we work on involve contaminated water or sewage, we use this cleaner to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and molds. SERVPROXIDE effectively removes any remaining contaminants from hard surfaces and sanitizes soft surfaces. It leaves a faint odor that quickly dissipates with air circulation. This product contains a PH level of 8.5-9.5, which means it carries the EPA's lowest toxicity rating and is safe for everyday use. For the cherry on top, the product is a 100% biodegradable surfactant. Among many of the cleaning agents we use, SERVPROXIDE is one of our “go to" products in a long line of specialty products that SERVPRO offers.
Make carpet last longer
10/4/2021 (Permalink)
If you have carpet in your home then, your main goal should be to extend the life of your carpet. We have compiled a few tips to help you out!
5 Tips For Making Your Carpet Last Longer:
1. Vacuum regularly:
Vacuuming regularly can help pick up hidden dirt and hair particles that can settle in your carpet fibers.
2. Spot removal:
Anytime you notice a spot on your carpet, whether it be from food, household products, or your four-legged friends. It's best to act quickly and not let it sit.
3. Groom carpet to prevent matting:
Regular grooming prevents carpet pathways from forming and lifts matted areas.
4. Move furniture to change traffic patterns:
If you can, move your furniture around every six months. Moving your furniture around will prevent premature wear areas by moving your furniture around.
5. Use welcome mats to limit the soil tracked in
Welcome mats cut down on dirt and moisture ruining your carpets. Pick a mat that is textured and can aggressively pull dirt from your shoes.
Restoration
4/14/2021 (Permalink)
Have you ever wondered what makes each restoration company unique? What sets them apart? What makes you want to use them? Some companies are nationally known franchise operations, like ours. Some may offer more services than others, but not all are qualified to perform those services.
We as an office and a company in general, are governed by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification). They set the rules and guidelines for how we take on and produce each job. Our owners, production managers, crew chiefs, and many of the office personnel have sat through hours upon hours of classes. They have taken tests to be certified by the IICRC, which renews annually.
We are emergency services and available 24/7, call our office at (513) 422-9200

Most commercial facilities have drop ceilings with ceiling tiles. It is not uncommon for these tiles to become damaged over time and require replacement. However, many facility managers may be disheartened to find a single tile or several tiles with stains and assume tile mold. While your mind may immediately jump to mold growth, any remediation service will likely explain that mold is possible, but there are at least three other causes, especially if the staining is recent.
- Plumbing problem
- Roof leak
- HVAC system issue
Plumbing Problem
If your facility is multi-story, then the tile discoloration is likely the result of plumbing issues and not tile mold. Ceiling tiles are incredibly porous and will soak in the water, causing a stain to appear on the other side. Fresh water stains typically look damp; they will likely turn the tile a shade of gray, especially if the tile is a lighter color naturally.
Roof Leak
If your facility is a single-story, then you may have a more significant issue than a minor plumbing leak. A roof leak can also result in the discoloration of ceiling tiles because of water damage. You may want to inspect your roof around the area of the staining to ensure that there is no existing external damage.
HVAC System Issue
If your facility has roof-mounted HVAC units, it is possible that the staining is a result of leaking from the condensation line or system and not mold. If you have an A/C unit above or near where the staining appeared, then you may want to contact an HVAC repair specialist.
While tile mold is a concern for any business because of the inevitable business interruption, it is not always the reason for tile staining. If you are genuinely concerned about the possibility of mold and cannot find any other likely causes for the staining, then contact SERVPRO for a property assessment.

Mold remediation
12/22/2020 (Permalink)
Whenever mold is found in your building, and you call in a professional mold remediation franchise, the company is guided by science and experience. The mold standards in place for cleanup and restoration have been established by a rigorous process that involves such organizations as the EPA and OSHA, as well as the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification. In most cases, these standards serve as guidelines and recommendations, though in some situations they have been adopted in codified regulations. The purpose of the standards is to identify what works best in cleaning and restoration for effective and safe treatment of black mold and other fungus problems.
Mold Remediation
A company that works on mold removal should adhere to the highest mold standards for cleanup. These standards can change as new information and new cleaning techniques are discovered. The mold clean process follows these proven steps for the best results:
- A fast response to the problem
- An inspection and assessment
- Mold containment through the use of physical barriers and negative air pressure
- Air filtration through the utilization of air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums
- Mold removal and treatment of mold-infested items
- Content cleaning
Mold restoration is complete when all areas affected by mold have been treated. There might still be low-levels of mold spores present, but the ability of the spores to spread has been curtailed.
Mold Facts
The mold standards for cleanup and restoration have been developed through a thorough understanding of the organism. Mold thrives on moisture and can quickly spread under the right conditions. Once excess moisture is present, mold can begin to proliferate and expand in as little as 48-72 hours. Taking care of the water problem is one key to mold removal. Though the organism is tiny, it can produce a musty odor and degrade indoor air quality. An informed approach can quickly eradicate a mold problem in your place of business.
Mitigate fires quickly
10/16/2020 (Permalink)
Our team can help restore old keepsakes damaged by fire.
When you have a fire in the home, it can devastate members of the home and be emotionally distressing. The most important step when there is a fire is to ensure all members of the home are safe. Once everyone is safe so much goes through the mind of a fire victim. Memories shared with loved ones inside the home flood through one’s mind. The stresses of accounting for the valuables and keepsakes that are irreplaceable come to mind. The last thing one thinks about is what steps are next.
Once everyone is outside the home and the fire is extinguished, contact us. Our staff is available 24 hours a week and seven days a week. We will arrive on the scene quickly to assess damages and get to work right away. We even work with your insurance, saving you steps. Right now is a time for you to worry about other things.
It is important to not put off mitigation and restoration. The longer soot residues remain in the home and on materials within the home the harder it will be to remove. Not only can the soot be hard to remove, but it can also carry further through the house and the leftover smoke is not healthy for you or your family.

Leaf burning
10/16/2020 (Permalink)
As we get further into the Fall, leaves start changing colors and falling from the trees. For many home owners this beautiful season can be overshadowed the constant need to rake their yard. It becomes a frequent task to upkeep your yard and dispose of the leaves. Some people prefer to bag the leaves and have them taken away while others burn their leaves. At SERVPRO, we would like to give some simple tips to those who use the burning leaves method.
- Check to make sure it is legal in your community. Some townships have set dates for when burning leaves is acceptable or require permits.
- Create the burning pile on dirt or gravel. Avoid doing it on grass or fields.
- Consult weather forecasts on a day with high winds.
- Do not use gasoline or fire starters to start it.
- Keep the pile small and slowly add leaves as the previous ones burn to the bottom of the pile.
- Keep water source near in case of emergency and to dowse embers when finished.
Know that there are safer and less harmful ways that open burning leaves such as closed metal burn drums or putting the leaves is biodegradable bags and giving them to the city. We want to keep people safe no matter what their preferred method is.
Restore
10/15/2020 (Permalink)
The restore vs. replace mentality is one of the greatest assets SERVPRO has. When it comes to making it "Like it never even happened," it’s impossible to overstate the importance of keeping as many of the original items as possible. This allows prices to stay down as the cost for restoration is 20% of the cost for replacement. More importantly, restoring is the preferred option because whether we realize it or not, the things in our homes, even the most arbitrary, have some kind of sentimental value. The blanket you always grab when you watch a movie, the plate you put your Thanksgiving turkey on or the couch your grandparents gave you. Every item of yours is important and SERVPRO will treat it as such.
Thermal imaging
10/15/2020 (Permalink)
Thermal imaging was first developed for military use during the Korean War. This kind of imaging uses temperature to distinguish hot and cold temperatures through walls and long distances. It is used by firefighters to see through smoke and find people; It is also used by law enforcement to locate suspects and handle search and rescue efforts. But those aren’t the only ways it can be effective or helpful.
How We Use Thermal Imaging
We use it to locate water trapped within walls or floors. Water damage can create long term issues if not detected soon enough. That’s why it is important to catch the source of the water and correct the problem and dry out any affected materials before it is too late. Thermal imaging may be the solution before one has to take a destructive approach. Although, thermal imaging cannon “see” water, it can detect differences in temperature that could indicate a location to test. This is just one of the reasons why SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield can service you. If you suspect water damage, give us a call at (513) 858-1071
Mold
10/5/2020 (Permalink)
How does mold spread?
When water damage occurs, it needs to be dried immediately to avoid the possibility of fungus growth. Soggy and wet materials to a home's structure are a clear sign that mold could begin to develop. Attics are a great place from mold growth because of the warm, damp, and dark environment.
An attic environment allows mold spores to reproduce quickly and take over the premises. As the microbes begin to breed and seep into the porous materials, they will start to make way into any other wet materials that they can find.
Typically, the homeowner will have 24 to 48 hours before contamination begins. Full infection won't stop until the active growth has been cleaned and removed. When mold is present, it is best to eliminate wait time so that the spores do not multiply and eat away at the building's structure.
How does mold spread?
Mold can carry to other sections of a home through the air conditioner and the movements of people and pets. The more time the mold has to spread through the house, the more advanced the mold cleaning job will be. When SERVPRO performs a mold job, it will begin by cutting off the air supply and establishing a tightly sealed barrier. In some cases, mold damage professionals will have to clean the mold out of ducts after the initial cleaning.

Qualities to look for
10/17/2019 (Permalink)
Even when you make an effort to keep your home clean, there will be times where the workload may be too much. Travel, illness, or hosting large events may require some extra help. A professional service can help you focus on what is most important and not worry about cleaning. Here are five qualities to look for if you are thinking about hiring cleaning services.
1. Professionalism
Cleaning service employees should maintain a level of professionalism. Not all companies require their employees to wear a uniform, however, their appearance should be neat and clean. Employees should also carry a form of identification linking them to the service, as well as respect your home and your family.
2. Equipment
Always call ahead to verify if the service company will provide cleaning equipment such as sponges, brooms, mops, detergents, vacuum cleaner, and all other equipment necessary. If you prefer that the service providers use the products that you have, let them know ahead of time so there isn’t any confusion.
3. References
Search for testimonials online and look for references from previous clients. Try to look for clients who had needs similar to your own. Check for feedback such as turn-around time, effectiveness, and employee attitude.
4. Attention to Detail
Focus on details is what differentiates a professional cleaning service. A service where employees know to clean under the furniture, corners, baseboards, in between shelves, among others makes your house look and feel cleaner.

Cleaning washer
9/11/2019 (Permalink)
Considering washing machines are used to keep things clean, you may wonder how you can even end up with mold in your washer – but it’s entirely possible. When it happens it’s one of the worst things ever, when that smell can soak into your clothing and never come out. But all is not lost; not only can you salvage your mold-contaminated washing machine, but you can even save your clothing.
Don’t Throw Out Your Washer Just Yet
Before you haul your washing machine to your Cincinnati,OH dumpster, try these steps to clean out the mold smell and remediate your mold issues:
- Scrub the machine out thoroughly. Glove up and get in there with some elbow grease and a brillo pad. Scrub the mold away until you can’t see anything but clean metal, then run an empty wash cycle to rinse the particulates away.
- Use everyday household products to both kill the mold and get rid of the smell. Run a cycle with a 1:4 mix of water and baking soda, then another cycle with vinegar put into the detergent tray. Both will help clean out any smells, and eradicate remaining mold. Just remember to run an empty wash cycle after to rinse it out and prevent your dirty clothes from smelling like vinegar.
- Bleach everything. Bleach and other chemical cleaners can be that last “burn it all to the ground” resort, but they’ll work in a pinch. If you want to try something a bit gentler, though, give an oxy-based cleaner that uses oxidizing solutions a try.
Repair > Replace
9/6/2019 (Permalink)
We often find mitigation and repair used interchangeably, but they are two different words for two entirely different services that SERVPRO provides.
The dictionary definition of mitigation is: the action of reducing the severity, seriousness or painfulness of something. So essentially mitigation is the process of treating the site of loss to prevent any further damage or destruction on homes or businesses. SERVPRO’s mitigation process comes in many different forms depending on the kind of loss, but our main goal is ensure our customers are out of harms way as quickly and efficiently as possible. For instance during most water damage scenarios, we mitigate the effected space by opening up walls and removing flooring due to moisture barriers, apply anti-microbial and dry them.
The dictionary definition of repair is: fix or mend (a thing suffering from damage or a fault). So essentially repair is the process of stopping the cause of loss from imposing more damage or destruction on homes or businesses by replacing or returning the damaged source to optimal condition. We’re all in this together to make it “Like it never even happened.”
Fire and soot damage
7/26/2019 (Permalink)
When fires occurs, in both residential homes and business, it’s not just the cleaning up of the structural areas that we need to be concerned with.
Our crews have to be so careful with the homeowner’s personal belongings because the insurance companies need very specific documentation in order to appropriately compensate the insured so they they have money to replace all of the damaged items. The fallen debris must be sifted through prior to bagging for disposal so that any contents, which may be very small items, can be separated for further valuation.
SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield team members need to be very aware of properly bagging and separating customers content, so taking our time in small spaces with lots of contents is a very important part of the clean up process after a smoke damage after a fire.

Biohazardous Clean Ups By SERVPRO Means Good Results
A biohazard spill often involves some type of bodily fluid. In private homes, this usually means a blood spill. There are certain risks when it comes to restoring a home after an incident with blood happens, and they need to seriously considered before cleanup efforts begin.
Residents should not attempt to clean up a blood spill in their home. Even without the emotional component, there is the risk of disease and other pathogens in even a small amount of blood. SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield understands both elements and how to deal with them when developing a restoration plan.
Cleaning and removing blood and blood stains require chemical cleaners designed to neutralize the pathogens in them. Infectious diseases found in blood spills and splatters include Hepatitis A, B, and C, as well as HIV and many others. To ensure we do this properly, our technicians utilize anti-bacterial cleaners we keep on-hand.
The anti-bacterial cleaners are necessary since blood does not respond to conventional cleaners like dirt or soot. Conventional agents do not always clean blood completely and even when they do, there is often, a stain remaining at the spill point. Leaving a visible mark is not something we accept; if we cannot remove the entire mark, our technicians can repaint the affected area or remove the stained structural property.
Restoring your home after any disaster is difficult. Cleaning up a blood spill is one of the more difficult tasks we face, but SERVPRO of East Hamilton Fairfield is here to help. We want to return your home to its original state so that you can move forward when the time is right for you. Call us today at. Call (513)858-1071 to schedule an inspection and get started.

- May contain bacteria and viruses
- Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated
Category 3: "Black Water"

Examples include 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.
