A professional knows the right tool for the job. Have you ever heard this saying? It’s a cliché, but like any cliché, it is rooted in truth. If your home or business experiences damage due to water, fire or smoke, or you’re in need of mold remediation, trying to repair and restore things yourself is never a good decision. Instead, you should seek out a professional remediation company in Southwest Florida like Spectrum Cleaning & Restoration. We use only professional-grade tools and cutting-edge technology to help residential and commercial customers just like you in the greater Fort Myers area.

Moisture is tricky, and not all water damage can be identified with the naked eye. In the event of water damage, excess moisture can seep into walls and underneath flooring. Left untreated, it can spread, damaging your home or business, and creating health risks due to the proliferation of mold and mildew. That’s why Spectrum Cleaning & Restoration uses thermal scanners. Invented in World War I for military applications in air defense by a Hungarian physicist, thermal imaging has evolved and advanced through the years. Today, thermal scanners are a boon to professional restoration experts. When conducting an inspection with thermal scanners, we can identify a host of different issues, including hidden sources of water, flaws in your plumbing, insulation gaps in walls or ceiling cavities, or the infiltration of moisture around seals. Any of these aforementioned issues can linger for quite some time before there is visible evidence of the problem—and, by then, you may be dealing with thousands of dollars in property damage. These thermal scanners can serve as a moisture meter, allowing us to detect hidden areas of wetness and then provide total dryness. That means, when you hire Spectrum Cleaning & Restoration to address your water damage in Southwest Florida, the work continues until your home or business is completely dry and safe.

Living in Southwest Florida, you know that severe weather such as tropical storms and hurricanes can lead to flooding or other water damage affecting your home or business. However, storms are just one of the culprits. Something as innocuous as a leaky faucet can end up doing as much damage as a major weather event. We hope that water damage never happens to you, but if it does, you want to make sure the cleanup job is done correctly and thoroughly. The first 48 hours of flood water damage is critical to minimizing further damage to your property. Incorrect or delayed action can jeopardize or seriously impede satisfactory restoration. You might be tempted to use a shop vacuum to clean up water in your home — or call a company that only has equipment to dry carpet. But water can wick up walls and travel under base molding and sill plates. It will penetrate through floor coverings into sub-floors, even causing flooding in rooms below. Water damage isn't something to take lightly, so DON'T DELAY! IF YOU SEE WATER - CALL SPECTRUM!

Whether it’s a musty odor left behind after floodwaters have been removed or the smell of smoke following a fire, the presence of a lingering odor in any indoor environment means it could be cleaner than it is. At Spectrum Cleaning & Restoration, we use powerful hydroxyl generators which can eradicate even pungent aromas. These generators work on simple chemistry; hydroxyl radicals (OH- icons) are released into the atmosphere, decomposing any unwanted chemicals that are present in the air. In nature, these ions play a pivotal role in removing potentially harmful organic and inorganic compounds from the atmosphere. This removes odors without the need for any masking agents, chemicals, oils, or other substances.
