The second half of the Duct and HVAC cleaning and remediation. Cleaning the Air Handler is a critical part of the process.

Donald Brodsky  President at HOF, Flash Air Care – CAC1817554

Let’s not forget the HVAC Tech on the roof. We were on this roof today at 4:30 am so we can have a few good hours of no sun on our backs.

This is the second half of the Duct and HVAC cleaning and remediation. Cleaning the Air Handler is a critical part of the process. Cleaning Ducts without cleaning the machine that moves the air is just a receipe for re-contamination of the entire system.

Just another job at the Boca Raton Mall this week. Grateful for all the Remediation and Restoration companies that trust Flash Air Care to work side by side on their Mold Remediation projects.

Commercial Roof Maintenance in South Florida

by PSI Roofing / Paulo Souza ,Poul Folkersen

Each year, millions of dollars are wasted on unnecessary roof replacement due to lack of ongoing maintenance.  90% of early roof failures are caused by lack of proper roof maintenance.  Small leaks can cause extensive damage to the interior of your building as well as the roof system itself and may not be detected for some time.  Regular maintenance can prevent unforeseen costs and extend the life of your roof by up to 30%.

The best way to extend the life of your roof is to have a roofing company perform regular roof inspections and maintenance.  All roofing manufacturers require regular inspections and maintenance to maintain coverage.  Regular inspections can also prevent costly problems from issues not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee. Such as damage from vandalism, damage done to the roof by other contractors, or structural deterioration.  PSI Roofing provides roof maintenance in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas. We offer one, three and five year warranties on your new roof to take care of any outstanding problems not covered by the manufacturer.

Leak-Free Guarantee With Our Annual Roof Maintenance Program

right new commercial roof for your propertyWhen PSI Roofing performs your annual roof maintenance, we can lock in your cost and provide a watertight leak free guarantee. This guarantee will cover any repairs that are needed during the term of your maintenance program.

What Else Can PSI Roofing Do For You?

Our team will perform a roof inspection report and generate a survey report with preventative maintenance and the recommended scope of work which will greatly prolong the life of your roof.

The weather and harsh elements in the South Florida area will wear on your roof system.  PSI will provide solutions such as applying a reflective coating or re-graveling bare areas, which will protect your roof from additional deterioration and therefore extending the life of your roof.

Achieve A Weed-Free Lake

The way aquatic weeds are managed depends on your goals. Check out our tips to learn how to best manage weeds in your lake.

Aquatic Weeds? Effective Management Will Depend on Your Unique Ecosystem

Lakes and ponds are home to many unique and beneficial species, but without proper management aquatic weeds and plant life can become a nuisance by destroying native habitat, clogging stormwater pipes, detracting from aesthetics and causing other problems in the ecosystem. Identifying the best management approach can be another challenge. Aquatic weed control is a nuanced problem, and the best management methods are usually influenced by many different variables.

Which Lake Weed Species Are You Dealing With?

Rather than making one-size-fits-all management recommendations, reputable lake and pond management professionals generally conduct an official aquatic weed survey before designing a customized management program. An onsite evaluation is the most direct, effective way to identify important physical factors within the waterbody, determine potential problem species, and consider the management goals of the property owner or community. Each of these variables is equally important in its own regard and requires a unique custom approach and management plan to effectively address.

Identifying Aquatic Weed Species

To safely eradicate targeted pond weeds, lake managers typically begin by properly identifying the invasive species that are present and taking careful note of their physical characteristics. Proper identification removes the risk of using an ineffective control measure—a mistake that can result in a large loss of time and resources. Plant identification is sometimes a difficult task, requiring dichotomous keys, stereoscopes, and even lab tests. Once the species has been properly identified, we will consider its physical requirements in order to develop a multi-faceted management approach.

Solutions for Managing Aquatic Weed Growth

Sustainable control of a problem species is the primary objective when developing a management plan. Lake management professionals utilize many products and services to eradicate undesirable invasive species. Some ponds can simply be managed through targeted hand pulling or biological control measures such as stocking triploid grass carp. Other situations may call for extensive vegetation and sediment removal through hydro-raking or dredging. More established infestations may require the use of a new “reduced risk” herbicide alternative called ProcellaCOR, which is designed to only impact target species. Working with a professional who understands these options and how to best use them is the most efficient way to ensure the safe, thorough resolution of your aquatic weed issue.

Helping You Reach Your Goals

While environmental balance and safety are of utmost importance, stakeholder goals are also at the forefront of our consideration when designing management programs. Just as no two waterbodies are the same, neither are stakeholder desires. A fishing and duck hunting pond owner will almost certainly have vastly different goals than a homeowners’ association with a five-acre pond within city limits. Each group has its own idea of what a perfect lake looks like. This is where communication becomes the key to reaching our client’s goals. We take the time to ask the right questions and allow the client to explain their vision. We communicate with our clients throughout the restoration process and beyond to ensure the health, beauty, and function of their waterbody continues to exceed their goals.

Achieve the Waterbody You Desire

Water resources with multiple stakeholders present their own challenges. However, our team is experienced in communicating with multiple stakeholders to develop goals and strategies tailored to the interests of the entire group. Programs are designed to correct existing problems, improve the quality of the lake or pond to fit the group’s desires, and provide ongoing education. Community education within these settings is especially important, as each small action by individuals has a cumulative effect on the aquatic system as a whole.

So, ultimately, the management approach we select depends on many different factors. We can solve your pond weed issues, but what are you looking to get out of your lake? Is it a family fishing pond for the grandkids to enjoy, or a lake serving 500 homeowners that enjoy everything from waterskiing to bass fishing? Once the right questions are asked, then we can then recommend an appropriate aquatic weed control plan and begin helping your waterbody reach its full potential.

Ring of Responsibility
How improper landscape fertilization could be causing lake algae!
  Tips and Tricks for Homeowners Associations:
  • ONLY FERTILIZE WHEN YOUR YARD NEEDS IT: If your yard already has the right amount of nutrients present, your lawn won’t soak up any of the extra that you have added. All of those extra nutrients will be washed down the drain. If your lawn appears yellow during the summer months, apply an iron product to restore the green. Extra fertilizer will NOT make your lawn greener.
  • NEVER FERTILIZE BEFORE A RAIN STORM: If heavy rain is in the 2-day forecast, wait to fertilize. Any more than 1/4 inch of water may wash away the work you just did.
  • USE A 15-FOOT “FERTILIZER-FREE” ZONE AROUND WATER: When spreading fertilizer, stay at least 15 feet away from the water’s edge and use a deflector shield on your fertilizer spreader.
  • CLEAN UP SPILLS: If fertilizer ends up on a paved surface such as a driveway, sidewalk or street, sweep it back onto your lawn or collect it for later use.
