Natural disasters and accidents are inevitable. Especially the ones caused by Mother Nature. Thanks to the restoration and cleaning firms, the survivors are able to cope with the catastrophic damage. However, apart from the harm caused to the property and assets, a lot of damage is also done to the environment during restoration and cleaning process. Studies have shown that cleaning and restoration companies in the USA employ around 8 billion pounds of cleaning chemicals annually.

As the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) has proposed the companies to choose mitigation, (minimizing loss of both life and property if there is a disaster) many restoration companies have decided to take proactive steps and ‘go green’. ServiceMaster By American Restoration Services, one of the frontrunners in providing restoration services in Long Island, has been using green-efficient products since a long time.

Karin Glassner, the owner of ServiceMaster By AR, with offices in Medford and Mt. Sinai areas of Long Island, further elaborated, “We are proud to offer eco-friendly products for fire restoration, water restoration and cleaning. Most of our products are non-hazardous and 100% water soluble. This keeps the atmosphere free from toxic chemicals and also prevents the allergic reactions caused to people.”

The benefits of environmental friendly products are not limited to the atmosphere. They also help the consumers by reducing operating costs, lessening health risks, increasing the property value and offering a cleaner and safer surrounding. With so many advantages associated to eco-friendly restoration, it is quite likely that people are increasingly opting for such services.

Explaining her firm’s restoration process, Karin further added, “When it comes to fire damage restoration, we utilize state-of-the-art machinery and odor neutralizing treatments after thorough inspection of the property. Needless to say, our ways are completely eco-friendly. We also try our best to clean and preserve the belongings of people.”

It is quite obvious that fire and flood can cause a havoc in one’s lives. However, the steps that you take after the disaster strikes are very important. If your area is prone to floods, you must prevent your electrical appliances by keeping them above the expected water level and keep yourself equipped with safety kit and instructions. Things can also get a bit chaotic after the fire has been extinguished. Make sure you make minimum movement in the house so that soot particles do not get stuck in carpets and upholstery.

You can also get in touch with professionals like those from ServiceMaster By AR providing water damage restoration services, and they can render you with a helping hand. Most of these firms are also available 24/7 and can be reached at their toll free numbers. Feel free to approach them at any odd hour.
