Emergency Cleaning in the Central New Jersey

While weather conditions in New Jersey are often mild, emergency clean up services may be needed on occasion. Inhabitants in Central New Jersey may need emergency clean up services after severe weather conditions such as blizzards, thunderstorms or hurricanes such as 2012's Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy was a super-storm that had an economic cost to the Garden State upwards of 30 billion dollars. It resulted in three hundred and forty-six thousand homes being destroyed or damaged.

The risk of storms and floods affecting the Jersey Shore region is increasing due to rising sea levels and climate change. Currently, New Jersey is one of the states which is showing rapid temperature changes. Increasing temperatures and humidity means heavier rainfall is expected, which can potentially lead to flooding due to rivers flooding their banks. Excessive rainfall increasingly results in flooding throughout the Garden Stare as happened after Storm Irene. These problems are exuberated by New Jersey's high-water table, which means that basements are at risk of flooding even when upper stories of buildings remain safe. As part of the foremost economic region in the world, any emergency in New Jersey has far-reaching economic consequences. This means that a rapid and professional response is required after an emergency to make sure that there are minimal losses and that New Jerseys industrial, medical, religious, corporate, and educational buildings can remain fully functional.

Emergency cleaning after Thunderstorms or Hurricanes

Thunderstorms and hurricanes which hit the East Coast are a source of a lot of damage to the external features of a house. High winds and heavy rainfall may result in broken roof tiles or shingles, broken windows and water damage from excessive rainfall. Scattered rubbish, broken trees, branches, shrubs, and bushes and damaged and irreparable items or fixtures will have to be gathered up and removed from the building. If there is excessive rainfall or if leaking and water damage occurred due to storm, every wet item should be thoroughly dried and disinfected before using. Storm damages should be repaired as soon as possible.

Emergency cleaning after natural or accidental floods

Storms or hurricanes may cause floods throughout Central New Jersey. Flooding may occur because of leaking or breaking water pipes or a building's water reservoir or because of an incorrectly installed or malfunctioning washer dryer. It is extremely important to get water removal services after a natural or accidental man-made flooding event. In the damp and humid environment of Central New Jersey, it is essential to clean up within 24-48 hours after a flood occurs. Mold remediation may be necessary even after a rapid cleanup because of the speed of molds spreading in damp and humid environments. Mold should not be killed with bleach, but rather a biocide should be sprayed and left to kill the molds. Any remaining molds should be encapsulated.

Any standing water needs to be pumped out before drying and disinfection. Professional mold remediation may also be needed. This is because mold, mildew, and rot can set in and spread rapidly in the state's humidity, making the home uninhabitable. Any damaged items which are beyond repair or molding, such as carpets and soft furnishings, should be disposed of. Often sewage water gets mixed with floodwaters. If sewage water has entered the building, then it is necessary to discard all carpets, mattresses, cushions, upholstery, and curtains as well as any drywall or insulating materials that have been contaminated. Floors, countertops, and wooden fixtures, as well as any other fixtures that came into contact with contaminated water, should be scrubbed with hot soapy water and disinfected. Rubber boots, gloves, goggles, and N95 respirators should be used by professional cleaning crews when working to clean up a flooded building.

Emergency cleaning after fires

If a structure has been judged by professional risk assessors to be salvageable in the case of large fires, extensive emergency cleaning will be required. All damaged and burnt furnishings will need to be removed from the premises. Walls doors, windows, ceilings, and floors will all require professional deep cleaning. Soot will have to be removed as will any residual paint and varnish on walls, ceilings, doors, and windows will need to be removed by techniques such as dry ice blasting or sand or soda blasting. Hard hats, goggles, N95 respirator masks, steel toes boots, and emergency fire extinguishers should be on hand when cleaning up a fire-damaged building. Small fires that have affected only a portion or room of a building may also require emergency cleaning.
