Frequently Asked Questions
How does First General Services handle mold remediation after water damage in Wilkes Barre homes?
We address mold by first identifying and stopping the moisture source. Then we isolate the area, use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, and apply antimicrobial treatments. For local homes near the Susquehanna River, we pay extra attention to potential flood-related mold growth. Our team follows EPA guidelines to ensure safe removal and prevent recurrence.
What types of damage restoration do you cover besides fire and water?
We also handle biohazard cleanup, environmental abatement (like asbestos or lead), and storm damage. Our 24/7 service includes structural drying, content cleaning, and complete reconstruction from the initial damage to the final repair.
How soon can you respond to a drain backup emergency in Wilkes Barre?
We aim to arrive within hours of your call. Drain backups can quickly cause unsanitary conditions and structural damage. We extract contaminated water, sanitize the area, and dry it thoroughly. Our experience with older plumbing in neighborhoods like South Wilkes-Barre helps us address these issues efficiently.
