SERVPRO of Minnetonka/Team Clemente

You might think mold is just a summer problem, but winter actually creates perfect conditions for mold growth in your Minnetonka home. Surprised? Here's why it happens. During cold months, we seal up our homes tightly to keep the heat in. But that also traps moisture from cooking, showering, and just breathing. Add poor ventilation, and you've got the humidity mold loves. Condensation on cold windows, warm air meeting cold walls in basements, and ice dams causing roof leaks all contribute to winter mold problems. Watch for these signs: musty odors, visible growth around windows or in bathrooms, or increased allergy symptoms indoors. Basements and attics are especially vulnerable spots. Running exhaust fans while cooking and showering, using a dehumidifier in your basement, and making sure your home has proper ventilation all help prevent mold. If you spot mold growth, don't just wipe it away – the roots go deeper than what you see. At SERVPRO of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, we're IICRC-certified in mold remediation. Call us at (952) 900-5399 if you're dealing with mold. #MoldPreventionMinnetonka #WinterMoldTips #TwinCitiesRestoration

Ever wonder what goes into drying out a flooded basement? It's not just fans and hoping for the best. 🌀 Our team uses commercial-grade air movers, industrial dehumidifiers, and moisture detection equipment to track drying progress down to the percentage point. We're talking serious equipment that can move thousands of cubic feet of air per minute and extract gallons of moisture from the air every day. But equipment is only as good as the people using it. That's why every member of our team is IICRC certified and trained on the latest restoration techniques. They know where moisture hides, how to prevent secondary damage, and how to get your property dried out properly the first time. When you call us at (952) 900-5399, you're not just getting equipment – you're getting 50 trained professionals who know exactly what they're doing. 💪 #MinnetonkaRestoration #WaterDamageExperts #SERVPROMinntonka

Winter in the Twin Cities means one thing's certain – frozen pipes are a real threat. And when pipes freeze and burst, the water damage can be extensive and expensive. Here's what happens: water expands when it freezes, putting pressure on your pipes from the inside. Even the smallest crack can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home or business. A few quick prevention tips: ✅ Keep your thermostat consistent, even when you're away ✅ Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate ✅ Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold ✅ Insulate pipes in unheated areas like basements and crawl spaces If you do end up with a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve immediately and give us a call. Our team responds in about 60 minutes, 24/7. (952) 900-5399 #MinnetonkaWinterTips #FrozenPipePrevention #WaterDamageMinnetonka
