ServiceMaster by Singer was announced this week as part of a major expansion of the ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM) network. SRM is national leader in large-loss commercial disaster remediation and restoration.

The SRM expansion more than doubles the size of the network, from 9 to 21 approved providers nationwide. Applicants for the network had to meet stringent requirements involving experience in commercial loss recovery projects, equipment, staffing and capabilities.

“Achieving the SRM brand is a significant step for our company,” said Michael R. Singer, President of the company. “As part of the network, we will be called on for major commercial restoration projects throughout the country. These situations involve highly specialized skills, special equipment and experience. Every company in the network is well qualified to manage and perform large-loss restoration jobs.”

ServiceMaster by Singer is located in Baltimore, MD and has been in business for 18 years. The company is owned by Michael R. Singer, who has been in the restoration & construction industries for over 20 years. He’s a licensed contractor in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C., and holds a Triple Master Status with IICRC.

SRM is often called after catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes, and other similar disasters. The company is a single source for all necessary recovery services, including heavy equipment, generators, decontamination and engineering. They clean, remove water, eliminate smoke and other odors, and coordinate repairs so that facilities can reopen faster. Typical SRM customers include major industries, educational and healthcare facilities, worship centers, hotels and large office buildings.

Our team at ServiceMaster By Singer is EPA Lead-Safe Certified. This means we can work on buildings to remove lead safely.

On Saturday October 4, 2014, ServiceMaster by Singer partnered with Crawford Contractor Connections on their Global Day of Service. We donated our services to clean the public areas on the four floors of the Single Room Occupancy Program (SRO) facility at The Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training, Inc., (MCVET) in Baltimore MD.

MCVET is a program that houses homeless veterans and puts them through comprehensive evaluation and training to help them rejoin their communities as independent, productive members. Veterans go through three phases of housing, each with its own program of health and educational assistance. The final phase is the SRO, housed in a facility designed to promote the last steps required for re-entry into the community. It is a facility with four floors of individual rooms, along with public areas on each floor consisting of a kitchen, two family/social rooms and a bathroom.

“Our Executive Director and our Residence Manager were very impressed with all that your team did,”

Recently, ServiceMaster by Singer had a water loss at a local sporting goods store and some of the clothes were affected. We cleaned and dried the clothes. The store allowed us to donate the clothes to a charity of our choosing. We decided to give it to the kids at the Weinberg Childcare Development Center at the House of Ruth.

The Weinberg Childcare Development Center is apart of the Child Program at the House of Ruth that helps kids that are affected by domestic abuse.

What is Lead?

Lead is a naturally occurring element found in the earth's crust. While it has some beneficial uses, it can be toxic to humans and animals

Where is Lead found?

Lead can be found in all parts of our environment - air, soil, water, and even inside our homes. Much of our exposure to lead comes from human activities including the use of fossil fuels (previously used leaded gasoline), some types of industrial facilities, and lead-based paint in older homes. Lead-based paints were banned for use in housing in 1978; most houses built before 1978 are likely to contain some lead-based paint. However, it is not the paint itself that is dangerous it is the deterioration of the paint.

Approximately 24 million housing units have deteriorated leaded paint and elevated levels of lead-contaminated house dust. More than 4 million homes built before 1978 are home to one or more young children.

Who is at risk?

Children under the age of 6 years old are at risk because they are growing so rapidly, and because they tend to put their hands or other objects which may be contaminated with lead dust into their mouths.

What can be done to prevent exposure to lead?

It is important to determine the construction year of the house or dwelling where you child spends a large amount of time (I.e. grandparents or daycare). In housing built before 1978, assume that the paint has lead unless tests show otherwise

ServiceMaster by Singer was contacted by the owner of the Crabby Jack's General Store, to repair the fire and smoke damage at their location inside Harborplace Mall. The fire started in the store above crabby jacks, and burnt holes through the ceiling of the Crabby Jack's store. For more information on the fire, visit Fox 45 News's website

The ceiling was repaired, the flooring and walls were replaced, and store merchandise were brought back in. The restoration work took around a week to complete and have the store opened again.
