Our Step-By-Step Process

We take our job and your health very seriously. Absolute Flood Response requires all technicians to be certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). As certified mold professionals, we follow the IICRC-S520 standard of care guidelines as well as have post-remediation tests done by a 3rd-party indoor air quality hygienist to certify that the job is done correctly on every large mold job. Slight discolorations on the walls and ceiling may go unnoticed for a long time as they gradually spread and get more severe. Even if they are noticed, they often are ignored because it is thought that some discoloration will occur as a part of normal wear and tear in a home. Molds spread throughout the living space leading to serious health consequences. Symptoms caused by mold allergy are watery, itchy eyes, a chronic cough, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, rashes, tiredness, sinus problems, nasal blockage and frequent sneezing. Absolute Flood Response also offers “Free Contactless Mold Inspections For Homeowners”. We have the expertise and experience to contain and remove mold from your home, and restore it back to its pre-loss condition. You can rest assured that mold problems have been properly addressed because we use clearance tests to verify that our job was done right each and every time. When it happens to you, you don’t have to ask yourself “My house has mold, now what do I do?” Call (702) 243-5663 for the best mold remediation services in Las Vegas and allow us the privilege of serving you.

We’ve seen the extreme scenarios on TV shows such as MythBusters; “Water Heater Explodes and Leaves Hole In Roof,” but, what happens to cause water heaters to fail? Water heaters typically go bad for two reasons: Not changing the anode rod, which leads to corrosion that eats through the tank. If you haven’t had your water heater’s anode rod replaced (typically about every 10 years), it can become a ticking time bomb that can fail very soon. Sediment covering the electric elements / gas burner, at which point performance will be reduced. This will often cause “popping” noises, as the elements get quite hot and then cause water trapped within the sediment to almost instantaneously boil, causing a tiny explosion as the water turns to vapor. So, now that we know that, what can we do to stop a potential disaster? Since most people don’t maintenance their water heater on a regular basis (due to it being out of sight and out of mind), that’s one place you can start; Regularly turn your water heater up past 140 degrees Fahrenheit to kill any potentially deadly microbes If you know what to look for on your anode rod, replace it when it needs replacing. If not, contact a certified professional to take a look at it for you. Clean around / replace burner elements when they need replacing. Periodically check the relief valve. These can become blocked or corroded over, and if so, it is a good idea to contact a professional. Unfortunately, since most people do not have the opportunity to do the above steps, or the knowledge on what to look for when maintaining water heaters, it increases the chances that the water heater won’t be properly maintained and may fail. If you maintain your water heater, you can expect many years of use out of it. If you are unsure of when yours was last serviced, Absolute Flood Response can put you in contact with one of our GREAT plumbing company partners here in Las Vegas, NV to help keep your equipment serviced and to keep you safe!

With the holidays behind us now and to mark new beginnings, AFR Construction has put together three resolutions that will help make your home cleaner and more efficient in the coming year. 1: Crush The Clutter The least expensive (and best) way to start making your home better is to clean out the clutter that we all accumulate over the course of the year(s). We all acquire stuff, and, without regular purging, we end up with closets, spare bedrooms and drawers jam-packed of things that we may never even use. In addition, the clutter tends to make homes feel dated and dirty. So, this year, go room-by-room and clear out anything you don’t use regularly. (We suggest donating to charity for the tax write-off on your taxes). If you MUST stash items, do it with useful items that are best kept out of sight, such as music CDs, remote controls, your collection of shoes, etc. Once you clear your counters and coffee tables, you’ll notice an immediate difference. 2: Keep Your Home Cleaner, Easier Don’t make excuses! Little things go a long way when it comes to keeping your home clean in this new year. In our household, we make sure that the little things don’t pile up (such as making sure the daily stuff such as loading the dishwasher or putting dirty clothes in the hamper aren’t overlooked) so that the larger tasks don’t seems so daunting! Our larger tasks (such as cleaning house weekly or bi-weekly) can be overwhelming, so we make sure that our relevant cleaning supplies are organized in a carrier. This also helps with focusing on one task at a time, rather than trying to take on the whole house! While one person vacuums, another can be wiping down mirrors and windows to get rid of fingerprints or rogue toothpaste. Once that’s done, you can move onto other tasks. This allows you to get the satisfaction of a completed chore while still working toward other goals! By dividing and conquering, your house can get cleaner quicker and leaves more time on the weekend for family fun and games! 3: Ready Your Home To Entertain As we begin the year, some people make the resolution to spend more time with family and friends. In those cases, take stock of your living space and determine if your entertaining areas could use an update. While you don’t necessarily need to go the route of a full remodel, sometimes all it takes is a fresh coat of paint and a fresh look for a dated space. Pulling out an underused accent color from your existing décor and painting a wall or using it to update some colors of your accent furniture can help the space feel fresh. Also, a rug that really ties the room together can be the piece you didn’t know you needed. And while we don’t necessarily adhere to fengshui in our home, we definitely believe that sometimes simply rearranging your existing furniture can inject some life into a staid space.
