Insulation:

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose can also enhance your home's resistance to fire as well as reduce the infiltration of outside noise. Save your money for something you want to spend it on.

The cellulose fibers have a higher density and R-value than many other insulation types, providing exceptional blockage against air infiltration. Superior thermal qualities save you energy and provide you excellent long-term value.

Our premium quality recycled insulation exceeds tough fire standards, provides proven sound control and is extremely safe for you and your family. By choosing recycled insulation, you are supporting a sustainable solution that will save you money.

The investment you make in recycled cellulose today will benefit you for a life-time.

Fiberglass Insulation

Some of the benefits of fiber glass insulation is its properties of being noncombustible, noncorrosive, nonabsorbent and unsupportive of mold growth.

It meets all model building codes for non-combustibility, needs no fire-retardant chemicals which can promote corrosion to pipes and the glass in fibers resists moisture build-up. Inorganic glass fibers do not mold, rot or decay. They also do not support an environment for vermin.

Duct Cleaning:

What you can't see can hurt you!

In today's homes, Indoor Air Quality is a growing concern. Most household dust contains dust mites, fungus spores, mildew, pollen and animal dander. Many of these contaminants are circulated through the central air systems in homes and can aggravate asthma and allergies.

Air duct cleaning can reduce the levels of dirt and debris in your home, reduce fungus spore, pollen, dust mites, dirt and debris. It also improves the efficency of your HVAC system.

Here's How It Works

1	We clean the register covers to remove cooking oil film, nicotine film and other dust-collecting substances.

2	We deep clean the source of the air supply including (where applicable) the blower, squirrel cage, coils, condensation pan and return air supply.

3	The air ducts are then brush vacuumed clean with our exclusive, patented technology system. The system removes the contaminants that circulate through the air duct system. We will spray your air ducts and vents with an environmentally safe antimicrobial commonly used in hospitals and nursing homes, leaving behind a fresh scent.

Results

When's the last time you saw what is circulating in the air you breathe?

Wood Destroying Fungus

Servall has sent Technicians to school and certified them to take care of your Wood Destroying Fungus problems! We are the first company in West Tennessee to be certified and insured to treat for Wood Destroying Fungus and other FUNGI,by controling and preventing Wood Destroying Fungus issues. With Wood Destroying Fungus problems becoming a nation-wide health and structural problem, Servall recognized the need to be able to better serve and protect our communities.

What Wood Destroying Fungus Are
Wood Destroying Fungi are organisms that may be found indoors and outdoors. They are part of the natural environment and play an important role in the environment by breaking down and digesting organic material, such as dead leaves. Also called fungi or mildew, Wood Destroying Fungus are neither plants nor animals; they are part of the kingdom Fungi.

Wood Destroying Fungus can multiply by producing microscopic spores (2-100 microns in diameter), similar to the seeds produced by plants. Many spores are so small they easily float through air and can be carried for great distances by even the gentlest breezes. The number of Wood Destroying Fungus spores suspended in indoor and outdoor air fluctuates from season to season, day to day, and even hour to hour.

Wood Destroying Fungus spores are ubiquitous; they are found both indoors and outdoors. Wood Destroying Fungus spores cannot be eliminated from indoor environments. Some Wood Destroying Fungus spores will be found floating through the air and in settled dust; however, they will not grow if moisture is not present.

Termites Services:

We specialize in:

• Liquid Treatments
• Bait Treatments
• Termite Insurance

Servall offers free inspections to anyone in our service areas. Termite season is here.

Termites will begin swarming as soon as spring approaches with temperatures in the 70's. If you have purchased, built, or added onto your house, you should have it inspected to prevent potential structural damage. Termites cause approximately 300 million dollars in damages a year! If you are thinking of building any structure, you should discuss with your Contractor the need to perform soil pre-treatments. Most people don't realize the cost of PRE-treatments is normally half of the cost of POST-treatment!

If you have just purchased a newly constructed home and it isn't covered by a termite contract, you should have it inspected. Without a current termite contract, a structure should be treated every 5 years. Once your home has sustained severe damage, you will not be able to receive a Damage Replacement Contract.

Infestations of termites are usually caused by moisture under or around your home due to poor drainage of your yard, lack of or improperly installed gutters and leaks under your house, as well as disturbing the soil by landscaping and mulching. Each time you add or replace mulch around any structure you should have it properly treated. Termites resemble flying ants and normally swarm beginning early March, but can be seen as late as September. Evidence to watch for includes mud shelter tubes on foundation walls or even interior walls and door facings where they may join slab porches, patios, garages and carports.

Many people believe that because a building is made with concrete floors or block walls, it is safe from termites. Actually, that is not true! Termite colonies can establish under concrete due to moisture content or wood debris in the backfill.

Spring is the time of year that people feel the need to do maintenance on their biggest investment – their home! Servall Termite Company, LLC can help with your year roundspring project. We can check for termites, moisture, mold, vents access doors and gutters. We can even install floor supports to prevent your floors from sagging, shaking, drywall cracking and doors not opening properly. Remember, all our inspections are free and all work is warranted!
