Emergency Cleaning Service

Timely emergency cleaning services in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh was historically known as the Steel City due to its steel industry. The steel industry is no longer as important to the well being of the city which now has a diversified economy. The city is also known as the City of Bridges due to the hundreds of bridges in the city. This is due to the meeting of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers which together form the Ohio River.

Pittsburgh sometimes has to deal with snowstorms, strong winds, hail and thunderstorms. Isolated tornadoes also sometimes make their way to the City, which can cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. One of the deadliest storms to hit Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh region was the 1998 Eastern Tornado Outbreak. Carnegie, Allegheny County in Pennsylvania, suffered the brunt of the tornadoes during that outbreak, which damaged homes and business as well as causing injuries to fifty people. Hurricanes that produced record rainfall in the Pittsburgh region include TS Gordon and Super Storm Sandy. Excessive rainfall and snow due to the remnants of hurricanes and super-storms occur about twice every five years in the region.

Inhabitants of the City of Bridges may also suffer from floods caused by this extreme rainfall, which can cause the water table to rise. The Parkway East area of Interstate 376 is known as the Bathtub. It is a depressed area in Downtown Pittsburgh adjacent to the Monongahela River, which may be closed during flooding events. Flash floods caused by severe rainfall can submerge homes, especially basements and ground floors, which then need extensive flood cleaning. It is essential to get emergency and flood cleaning services as soon as possible after an emergency event to salvage as many of your possessions as possible. If left for even as little as forty-eight hours, interiors and possessions may become covered in molds or algae, which spread rapidly in wet, humid environments.

Emergency Storm cleaning in Pittsburgh

Storms and tornadoes with high winds and hail can tear off the tiles from the roofs of homes while trees, branches, and windows may be broken. Cleaning services will first evaluate the situation and then start the cleaning and restoration project. All dangerous materials such as broken glass are gathered and disposed of before repairs can commence. Torn off tiles and shingles are gathered and, if broken, are disposed of properly. Broken branches and any other rubbish and debris spread on the grounds are gathered and cleaned away. Interiors are also cleaned, and everything is restored with the help of repair workers to its original condition.

Emergency Flood cleaning services

Extreme rainfall can cause flash floods, which can destroy possessions and cause mildew and algae to spread through homes with lightning speeds. It is necessary to pump out the water as soon as the storm and flood have passed to salvage as much as possible and to save the interiors from extensive damage. If the house was flooded with grey sewage water, then drywall and soft furnishings and rugs and carpets will have to be disposed of as they will likely be too contaminated to be properly disinfected. If the building is flooded with clear water or only rainwater, then it is important to pump out the water and dry out the interiors with dehumidifiers and air dryers before disinfecting. Possessions such as carpets and furnishings are also dried and disinfected.

Emergency Fire cleaning and restoration services

A fire may damage a whole home or just a single room or part of a room. Fires result in soot and blackened walls, which may need to be strip cleaned to remove the burnt layers of paint of varnish. Abrasive cleaning techniques such as dry ice blasting or soda blasting may have to be used to strip away the burnt layers. Drywall may have to be removed and replaced if damaged beyond repair. Floors will have to scrubbed clean and polished, stained, and resealed if salvageable. Materials such as vinyl flooring may need to be strip cleaned by abrasive cleaning methods if not salvageable.
