Plan Ahead

• Keep an appliance thermometer in both the refrigerator and freezer. Make sure the refrigerator temperature is at 40 °F or below and the freezer is at 0°F or below.
• Group foods together in both the refrigerator and freezer. This helps foods stay cold longer.
• Keep the freezer full. Fill empty spaces with frozen plastic jugs of water, bags of ice, or gel packs.
• Freeze refrigerated items that you may not need immediately, such as leftovers, milk, and fresh meat and poultry. This will keep them at a safe temperature longer.
• Have a large, insulated cooler and frozen gel packs available. Perishable foods will stay safe in a refrigerator for only 4 hours.
• Find out where dry ice and block ice can be purchased

Mold Outbreak Discovered in Rooney Valley Home?

5/16/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in mold damage restoration services in Jefferson County.

Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl team has been restoring mold damage in Rooney Valley for over forty years. Mold spores are always present in the Earth’s atmosphere, waiting for the perfect conditions to colonize. Here is some information from the Environmental Protection Agency about mold:

1. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture
2. Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth
3. Reduce indoor humidity (to 30-60 percent) to decrease mold growth by:
• Venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside
• Using air conditioners and de-humidifiers
• Increasing ventilation
• Using exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing, and cleaning
4. Prevent condensation: Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation
5. In areas where there is a perpetual moisture problem, do not install carpeting
6. Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance, providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and food.

We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Jefferson County.

Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl teams are trusted leaders in storm damage restoration services. We have been restoring storm and flooding damage for Ken Caryl residents and commercial businesses for over forty years. Here are some tips for things you can do to stay safe during a flooding event:

 Keeping Yourself Safe from Flash Flooding

• It does not have to be raining at your location for flooding to occur! If you are along a stream that has its source in the mountains, be aware of thunderstorms in the higher elevations upstream.
• NEVER camp on low ground next to mountain streams
• Do not cross flooded roadways with a vehicle or on foot. It only takes 6 to 12 inches of moving water for most vehicles to start floating. Also, the road bed may be washed out, making the water much deeper than you might think.
• If your vehicle stalls, abandon it immediately, and go to higher ground. Be very cautious at night when it is more difficult to recognize the flood dangers.
• Get out of low spots, canyons, dry washes, etc. If you are advised to evacuate an area by local authorities, do so immediately! Do not allow children to play around high water or near storm drains.
• Stay in tune with the latest weather information by listening to NOAA Weather Radio or radio and/or television stations

Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl teams respond to storm damage emergencies every year in Lakewood. Colorado’s hail season begins around the middle of April and lasts through mid-August each year. The Front Range is situated in the center of “hail alley,” and receives the highest frequency of large-sized hail in North America. Under the right conditions, hail forms during thunderstorms. Here are some definitions for thunderstorms alerts from the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management:

• Severe Thunderstorm Watch - Severe thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area. Stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued.
• Severe Thunderstorm Warning - Severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property.
• 30/30 Lightning Rule - You can tell how close you are to a lightning strike by counting the seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder. For every five seconds you count, the lightning is one mile away. If you see a flash and instantly hear the thunder, the lightning strike is very close.
