Home utilities are shown in a basement. We inspect, clean, and maintain HVAC systems in Cass County.

Do you know that our local team in Fargo inspects, cleans, and maintains heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the West Fargo area? According to a report published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), HVAC systems are recommended to be cleaned when:

  • There is substantial visible mold growth inside the ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system
  • If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy, it cannot be effectively cleaned and should be removed and replaced
  • Ducts are infested with vermin (e.g., rodents or insects)
  • Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris
  • Particles are being released into the home from your supply registers

If you haven’t had your HVAC system inspected or serviced lately, it may be circulating some or all of these contaminants:

  • Dust
  • Pollen
  • Odors
  • Dirt and debris
  • Other contaminants

Servicing your HVAC unit will restore your system to peak energy efficiency, help eliminate offensive odors, and help reduce mold growth potential.

SERVPRO Ranks #1 in Category by Entrepreneur Magazine's 2022 Franchise 500

3/2/2022 (Permalink)

Franchise 500 #1 in Category Badge #1 in Restoration Services!

SERVPRO of Fargo is proud to announce that SERVPRO has been recognized again as one of the best overall franchise opportunities by Entrepreneur magazine’s 2022 Franchise 500, the industry’s most comprehensive franchise ranking. Evaluated on categories such as growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power, SERVPRO was named the #8 overall franchise system, and #1 in the cleaning and restoration industry for the 19th consecutive year.

“SERVPRO is built on the foundation of outstanding customer service, industry-leading training and the success of following a proven system,” said SERVPRO CEO Rick Isaacson. “On behalf of the more than 1,900 SERVPRO franchises across the U.S. and Canada, we are honored by this recognition. 

“The SERVPRO brand and its franchisees share a strong partnership, working together to set and achieve goals which have allowed us to grow each year for more than half a century despite the challenges many businesses have faced, especially over the past 18-24 months.”

“The past year has been one of the most challenging for businesses in recent memory, which made putting together our 43rd annual Franchise 500 list more enlightening than ever,” said Entrepreneur Editor in Chief Jason Feifer. “The companies named to this year’s list showed us how being resilient, supportive and nimble can help navigate extraordinary challenges and also underscore the grit and innovation that define entrepreneurship.”

SERVPRO franchise owners pride themselves on being “ready for whatever happens,” Isaacson said, which helped the company jump two spots from its #10 ranking in 2021.

“Our franchisees have a ‘never say no’ mentality, working together with other owners to make sure we are able to satisfy all of our customers’ and clients’ cleanup, remediation and restoration needs, which allows us to ‘Keep it Green,’ as we like to say.

“We pride ourselves on rushing in when others are running out – whether that is in response to a natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood or tornado; cleaning up after a home or business water or fire loss; or helping clean and sanitize spaces from unseen threats like COVID-19. Maintaining our position for nearly 20 years as the best franchise in our category on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list validates our long-standing strategy for growing our brand: invest in franchisee training and support and commit resources to continually improving our infrastructure.”

A water stain is visible on the ceiling in a home. We are trusted leaders in mold remediation services in Cass County.

I had no idea there was a leak in my Mapleton home until I saw the water stain on the ceiling. I knew the upstairs bathroom was overhead, so I had an idea about what the issue was.

Fortunately, the SERVPRO team took care of both problems.

  • Significant mold growth can occur in 48-72 hours

What Not to Do

Hoarding Scene Cleanup in Casselton?

8/23/2021 (Permalink)

A suburban home is shown. We provide hoarding cleanup services in Cass County.

My friend called and told me her mother’s health had declined, and she was in assisted living. I knew my friend had a tough time because her mother’s hoarding disorder made the house unsafe for her mother, but she wouldn’t let anyone in the house clean it and make it a safe place to live. The house looked fine from the outside, but inside the conditions were unsafe. You could barely walk through the house. Now that her mother was in assisted living permanently, the house in Casselton could be cleaned and decontaminated.

According to the American Psychiatry Association (AMA), people with hoarding disorder save items other people may view as worthless. They have persistent difficulty getting rid of things or parting with possessions which causes clutter that creates safety and health problems.

SERVPRO® of Fargo has years of experience cleaning and restoring hoarding scenes, and we will always treat you and your family with the empathy and respect you deserve. When we arrive, we will inspect and assess the situation and come up with a plan. Our restoration technicians will quickly transform the unhealthy environment back to a clean, safe home.

Mold Infestation in Briarwood?

4/26/2021 (Permalink)

Mold is shown growing above the baseboards of a home. We are trusted leaders in mold mitigation and remediation in the Fargo area.

Overnight Distress

Did you know that in the right conditions, mold can spread throughout your home or business in as little as forty-eight hours? SERVPRO® of Fargo has been providing mold mitigating and remediation services in Briarwood and the Fargo area for years. Here is some information from our website about mold and what causes it to grow.

About Mold

Microscopic mold spores exist naturally, almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, so removing all mold from a home or business is impossible. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and they may enter your home through windows, doors, or air conditioning and heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Let your nose lead the way. Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher than normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Frozen Pipe Damage in West Fargo?

1/25/2021 (Permalink)

A pipe is shown covered in ice. We are on call 24-hours a day in Fargo!

Freezing pipes in West Fargo?

Pipes can freeze when they run against exterior walls that have no insulation, or water supply lines are installed in unheated areas of a house. When frozen pipes burst, they cause water damage.  SERVPRO® of Fargo has a team of restoration technicians on call 24-hours a day to mitigate water damage, and we offer some tips from the American Red Cross on how to identify and thaw frozen pipes:

  • If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, suspect a frozen pipe.
  • Keep the faucet open. As you treat the frozen pipe and the frozen area begins to melt, water will begin to flow through the frozen area. Running water through the pipe will help melt ice in the pipe.
  • Apply heat to the section of pipe using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe, an electric hairdryer, a portable space heater (kept away from flammable materials), or by wrapping pipes with towels soaked in hot water. Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, charcoal stove, or other open flame devices.
  • Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. If you are unable to locate the frozen area, if the frozen area is not accessible, or if you cannot thaw the pipe, call a licensed plumber.

We offer many restoration and reconstruction services in West Fargo. A room in a house is being put back together after it was damaged by fire.

Continuity of service

When my home was damaged by fire, I had to deal with many vendors and repair people. It was very confusing, and it was difficult to oversee the repair work and work a full-time job. It was also challenging dealing with the insurance company process and paperwork. It would have been nice to have one company handle everything: the tarping of my damaged roof, the packing and inventorying of my belongings, the cleanup and restoration of my home’s interior, and oversee the rebuilding of the roof.

It’s good to know that SERVPRO® of Fargo provides a wide range of restoration services and will oversee construction and rebuilding repairs through to completion, so only one person is managing the entire job from start to finish! They can supervise these reconstruction services:

Deep Cleaning Services in West Fargo?

A Realtor is showing a couple a house for sale. We provide cleaning services that surpass a routine janitorial service.

A Realtors Nightmare

I was getting ready to list a house for a couple who had to relocate quickly and had moved in a hurry. When I went to do a walk-through of the house, I realized that the house looked dirty and a bit shabby with all the furniture gone. There were marks on the walls, there were marks on the millwork and door frames, the oven was dirty, the range vent was clogged with oil, the floors and windows were dirty, and there was an off-putting odor that I couldn’t identify, but I knew it would offend buyers. I remembered that SERVPRO® of Fargo provides deep cleaning services in West Fargo, and they came out and deep cleaned the house from top to bottom; and by the time they were done, the house sparkled and smelled fresh and clean, too!

  • First—Am I going to have to worry about a job half done? When you leave, will I have to hire someone else to finish the job? The answer is no because we want you to have enough confidence to tell your friends/ business associates about us.  We want you to be satisfied so we promise to be thorough. 
  • Second—If you run into difficulty, do you have the resources to push through and get it done? At SERVPRO of Fargo, we absolutely do. Because we’re nationwide, we have access to the know-how, the materials, and the technology of over 1,700 franchises across the USA. 
  • Third—When you leave, will you have done the best job you know how to do? The answer to that is yes. The main reason? Because we care.

So if you’re wondering who to call in the heat of the moment, let us be your choice. We won’t let you down. By the time we are done, the damage will look like it never even happened.

Advanced Technology in Prosper?

Hygrometer Fun Facts

Did you know that SERVPRO® of Fargo uses advanced technology to restore damaged properties to preloss condition more reliably, effectively, and quickly in Prosper? For example, our water damage restoration technicians use scientific drying principles and state-of-the-art moisture detection equipment to detect, measure and monitor a property’s moisture levels. Hygrometers are used to measure the extent of moisture saturation in the damaged area.

According to the author, Richard Hamblyn, the ancient Chinese constructed a prototype hygrometer in the Shang Dynasty (c.1600-1046 BCE), to study weather. Using a bar of charcoal and a clump of earth, the dry weight was recorded and then compared to the damp weight after being exposed to the air. They then measured the differences in weight to determine the humidity level.

SERVPRO technicians follow the guidelines and best practices set forth by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), and are required to undergo initial rigorous and ongoing training to stay up-to-speed with technological advancements in the restoration industry.
