24/7 Emergency Board Up Services

5/4/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Darien/New Canaan provides window board up and tarping services 24/7. We are available to help, call now.

Boarding up a building may sound like a simple task but in many cases there is more to it than meets the eye. This is because when a building requires board up services there is an issue at play that has lead to this requirement. Sometimes it is vandalism and the property must be cleaned of broken glass and other debris while also being boarded up for protection from the elements. Other times there has been a fire and the heat from the blaze has destroyed windows and other parts of the building leaving it exposed to the elements and making it difficult to work in. No matter what the situation, we are prepared and able to help.

Our team provides 24/7 emergency board up and tarping services. So if your property requires immediate attention and protection we are available to help, even in the middle of the night. We believe it is essential, not only to the safety of the content inside of the building, but to keep the structure safe from the outside elements that can only cause further damage to the building. A properly boarded up property can withstand a short period of weather and will provide enough protection to ensure that does not happen.

If your home or commercial property requires board up and tarp covering services call us immediately. We are always available to help.

Mold inspection by our skilled SERVPRO techs ensures a successful mold damage remediation --our Darien neighbors appreciate our good work

Do not get overrun by mold damage in Darien

Licensed professionals should always handle mold damage. SERVPRO trains hard and follows strict regulatory guidelines to bring you the best services possible.

Mold damage in Darien can be a complicated and difficult matter to handle. Scraping away mold and masking odors is never enough to solve the problem. For optimal results, we must reduce the mold and odors at the source. SERVPRO technicians are trained to Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards of containment and treatment. For example, while an inexperienced technician might focus solely on objects and materials in your home that already show signs of mold growth, our technicians know that mold can spread quickly to materials that are not dried fast enough. Our comprehensive services include:

  • Mold Inspection
  • Mold Removal
  • Attic Mold Removal
  • Black Mold Damage Repairs
  • Bathroom Mold Removal

We implement a well-planned containment strategy that stops mold growth from spreading around the house. Consequently, we need less time and fewer resources to remediate your home completely. An incomplete mold removal job can lead to an even larger infestation that may resist cleaning products used on it. SERVPRO gets it right the first time around.

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan handles mold infestations of any size or severity. Call us at (203) 966-6264.

What Guarantees Faster Results during Mold Remediation in Darien Properties?

SERVPRO Targets Aspects Fueling Microbial Growth for Faster Black Mold Damage Repairs

The mold you notice on surfaces or items in your house is the outcome of microbial development. Microbial growth is a natural process, especially in areas with excessive moisture. However, it takes other aspects, such as favorable temperatures between 68° to 86° and availability of organic materials for black mold to thrive.

Physical removal is a practical mold remediation process in Darien homes, but it might not give you the long-term results you desire. Combating the specific factors that accelerate mold growth is as essential as other processes like:

  • Mold inspection
  • Mold remediation
  • Mold removal

Our SERVPRO technicians set up dehumidifiers with minimal airflow in the affected areas to help dry wet materials and keep humidity levels in the air below 60%. We also remove porous materials like drywall, paper, and insulation if we determine they are infested since they act as organic food sources. 

Cleaning the affected areas with the appropriate chemical agents helps destroy mold and other fungi. SERVPRO technicians use various cleaning agents during the mold damage remediation process. 

SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan seeks long-term solutions when tasked to handle mold remediation in properties. Call us at (203) 966-6264 to restore your home to its preloss state.

SERVPRO knows how to contain mold spores in Darien

Darien is an idyllic coastal town in Connecticut. The town’s population is 21,000, and it is an exclusive, high-class community that offers all the charm of New England life. There are several exclusive private country clubs and beaches, but many beautiful areas are open to the public.

Settlers first came to Darien in the late seventeenth century. They built a sawmill dam and a shipyard, and for a long time, Darien remained a small rural community built around those industries. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-eighteenth century helped the town to expand. After the Civil War, it became popular with wealthy New Yorkers, who built vacation homes along the waterside, especially in the Tokeneke area.

Darien is situated on the Gold Coast, an affluent area of Connecticut known for its stunning waterfront homes, well-to-do residents, and sophisticated lifestyle. Darien is a familiar sight, featuring in many movies, including Hope Springs, Cannonball Run II, The Stepford Wives, and Gentleman’s Agreement.

Enjoy historic buildings and beautiful parks in Darien

Darien has several historic buildings and plenty of outdoor spaces. While you are here, be sure to see:

  • The Frederick J Smith House is a unique modern home with an open facade and lots of glass to let in light and give residents uninterrupted water views. Renowned avant-garde architect Richard Meier designed and built the house in the mid-sixties.
  • The delightfully named Pond-Weed House dates from 1696. It is a two-and-a-half-story home in the traditional New England Saltbox style and the oldest building in Darien.
  • The Mather Homestead dates from 1778 and is a beautifully preserved example of eighteenth-century architecture. Visitors can walk through rooms that look just as they would have back then, and the Homestead hosts frequent family events.

Darien also has some lovely parks and beaches to explore. Some of the most popular include:

  • Cherry Lawn Park offers miles of pretty walking trails through fields and beside ponds. You can even ice skate here in the winter.
  • Pear Tree Point Beach is fully equipped with concession stands, bathhouses, picnic areas, and a gazebo. The beach has an accessible picnic area. In summer, the beach is for residents only, but you can purchase a visitor’s pass.
  • Selleck’s Woods Nature Preserve is convenient for downtown Darien, but you will feel like you are far from the beaten track as you explore 28.093 acres of marshes, ponds, swamps, and prairie.
  • Weed Beach is well-appointed with tennis courts, a children’s play area, a bathing area, and a fitness trail. 

Are you looking for mold removal companies?

If you need mold removal in Darien, it is vital to choose a company that helps contain mold spores. Spores are microscopic and can quickly travel throughout your home to set up new colonies. SERVPRO helps prevent the spread of spores by:

  • Setting up containment using industry-grade plastic sheeting and duct tape.
  • Sealing off vents, doors, and windows to prevent spores from escaping.
  • Using air scrubbers and negative air machines to pull fungal spores from the air.
  • Drying the area, so it is not such a desirable breeding ground.

For swift and efficient mold remediation, call SERVPRO of Darien / New Canaan at (203) 966-6264.

The Waters Edge in Darien Hosts Private Tours, Weddings, and Group Events From January Onwards

The Waters-edge at Giovanni's is a stunning local favorite that serves contemporary Italian cuisine and hosts regular events and tours of the building.

While the main dining room serves drop-in guests and bookings, rentals are available in the numerous suites throughout the historic site. The VIP Wine Room, in particular, hosts private tastings and groups starting from January 2021. Engagement parties, Bar Mitzvah, and business functions have all found their vision brought to life at Giovanni's alongside the delicious menu of Italian and American Fusion.

  • The six in-house suites cover a variety of event types, including weddings, corporate, Bar Mitzvahs, and birthdays.
  • Building tours run by private booking for guests to explore.
  • Wine-tasting and cocktail evenings occur periodically throughout the year.
