Things To Do In Sydney With Children

sydney-wondermap

What do you think folks? This is the Wondermap for my upcoming trip to Sydney. The pink icons are the Sydney attractions we’re currently planning to visit. If you follow the link, you can enter your suggestions for places to visit and things to do. I can associate blog posts, photos and vidoes with locations on the map. I’m very grateful for my friends at Travellious for allowing me to be an alpha-tester for this application.

There are many, many things to do in Sydney – with or without children. I’ll be traveling on my own with my boys and we’ll be spending most of our time with my sister and her three-month-old so as I’ve been planning this trip, I’m assuming that long sightseeing days will really be out of the question – and that’s OK, those are the trade-offs you make when you travel with children.

So, with that in mind, here’s everything on my “Sydney attractions must see” list. If there’s something you think we should try to include, please do leave a comment.

Sydney Beaches



Spending time at the beach is top of my list because being outdoors is a great way to knock jet-lag on the head and, well, because it’s Sydney. There are many good ones to choose from:



Manly Beach, Bondi Beach (well, duh!), Watsons Bay – although this is partically an excuse to eat at Doyles, Freshwater Beach and the family-friendly Dee Why Beach.

Sydney City Attractions



We’ll be trying to spend at least a couple of days doing ‘city sightseeing’ visiting the Opera House (the 1-hour tour), the Australia Museum, the Botanical Gardens (yes, Victorian as it is, I love walking around Botanical Gardens) but I suspect we may end up spending even more time at the Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool that day. The Aquarium, the Taronga Zoo and the Powerhouse Museum are also on our list – although at this stage I know we’ve got way too much on our list and my money is on my geek-boys ditching the nature stuff and indulging their inner geeks at the Cyberworlds exhibit at the Powerhouse.

water. Your carpet, furnishings, building materials, and documents must be handled quickly and carefully so that they can be repaired and not replaced. Trust our certified technicians and techniques to help you recover from a water emergency at your home or business.



Call 404-721-1632 in Georgia and 904-701-3711 in Florida now to speak to a technician about the water damage repairs you need. We are available on an emergency basis and promise to be there within 60 minutes.


A water emergency can be caused by many things, such as from a sprinkler system malfunction at an office or retail store; it can be a broken pipe or sewer main at a house; firemen dousing a blaze near you may have had to spray your property; or you may have suffered natural flooding from too much rainfall or tropical weather. Each creates a need for different kinds of water damage repairs:








  • Flood cleanup – removing silt, debris, mud and unsalvageable belongings



  • Disinfecting – using antibacterial and antimicrobial solutions to stop mold and fungus



  • Deodorizing – it can be the odor of smoky water from a fire, a sewage accident or the funk of a flood



  • Contents cleaning – everything needs to be washed, dried, bleached or sanitizer treated



  • Carpet cleaning – we can save carpet and save your home or business from deadly mold



  • Document restoration – we are able to save irreplaceable records by taking quick action



  • Dehumidifying – getting water out of the air fast helps everything else dry



  • Pressure washing – it is not only interiors that need water damage repairs. Exterior walls, walks, drives and vehicles and boats need muck and mire washed off




We handle packing up and putting back. We are also here to handle one of the big jobs that must be accomplished before and after water damage repairs take place: our teams will pack up contents, and then put them back, removing another headache from the long, stressful recovery from a water emergency.




Dehumidification is one of the top water damage repairs: We use flood restoration dehumidifiers to draw moisture out of the air. The short term benefit is that it speeds drying. The long term impact is significant. Rapid dehumidification prevents porous surfaces from absorbing the moist, humid air that hangs around after a water accident. Without it, things like drywall that may never have been touched by flooding can become a breeding ground for mold and rot.




We expertly handle wood furniture. You may want that beloved piece dry quickly, but slow drying is essential to wood. If the furniture was submerged when we recovered it, we clean away mud and dirt inside and out. But good wood must never sit in the sun to dry. It will warp. Circulating air is the key to these kinds of water damage repairs. It is best to place it in a ventilation area, or to create an air circulation storage area, and let the wood dry over several days.




Document restoration generally involves professionally freezing the paper quickly – blast freezing. This heads off puckering, swelling, ink smearing and blocking. Once frozen, the damage stops. Then, the process of freeze drying takes the water out before it returns to a liquid state. Freeze drying is the state of the art technique for document salvage.

NFL mock draft: Panthers go for QB Cam N

Amplify’d from aol.sportingnews.com

NFL mock draft: Panthers go for QB Cam Newton at No. 1


With the 2011 NFL draft now just 23 days away, the top of the draft still is up for debate. Perhaps no team in the top five is sure which direction to go.


There continues to be great debate amongst general manager Marty Hurney, new coach Ron Rivera and all the Carolina Panthers assistant coaches and personnel men about what to do with the No. 1-overall pick.


When the draft process began, we thought the Panthers would play it safe and pick the top defensive lineman instead of a boom-or-bust quarterback. In the last couple weeks, it seems as if Panthers officials are more than willing to roll the dice on the ultra talented Cam Newton.


No one doubts Newton’s physical talent. Perhaps the Panthers have become so enticed with his potential that they are willing to bet on him becoming the first-ever run-option college quarterback to become a good NFL player. Alex Smith and Vince Young have failed, and second-year QB Tim Tebow has done nothing to think he'll succeed over the long term.


Despite much speculation that new Broncos executive John Elway will take a QB at No. 2, we think it's a bluff. Elway most likely would prefer to trade down a few spots, pick up some extra picks and still land his primary target — Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley, a more explosive and disruptive force than the steadier Marcell Dareus of Alabama.

Lead Paint Abatement

Lead paint abatement ends the threat of lead poisoning in homes, businesses, schools and care facilities. Our certified technicians safely eliminate the most common source of lead poisoning – breathing in the dust created as lead based paint deteriorates and peels. Lead paint was used in an estimated 38 million residential buildings and in even more facilities until it was banned in 1978. The National Lead Information Center (NLIC) recommends you hire certified lead-based paint professionals to handle removal to ensure that dangerous dust and fumes do not circulate as the work is done.

Sewer Backup

Sewer Backup

Sewer backup
s a leading cause of water damage in any kind of property throughout Florida and Georgia. While a broken pipe is something you will often hear or read about regarding sewage water flooding, a backed up line can be equally devastating, occurring when there is an inadequate plumbing design or installation. It happens when new lines are attached to old systems, when old systems begin to break down, or an all new plumbing has proven insufficient. No matter how plumbing systems have failed you, raw sewage floating in areas of your home where it was not intended is a job for the area’s top professionals.



Call us now if you are suffering a sewer backup!

In Florida, we are at 904-701-3711 for a free estimate.

And in Georgia, reach us here – 404-721-1632.

You may still be a bit puzzled by the sewer backup that has put your property at serious risk. There may be numerous reasons behind your property’s internal flooding, such as blockage of various solid materials, the flooding of local sewers, a basement flood, structural failures and even an interfering tree root. Whether or not you know the exact cause yet, it is important to call us as soon as possible; dealing with raw sewage in your building compounds the already complicated problem of uninvited water that begins to eat away at your possessions and materials from the very beginning.



Parasites, viruses and bacteria – all with an attitude against the health of you, your family, your employees, your customers – whoever visits your property must not be exposed to this cauldron of potential infection and disease from sewer backup. That is what is floating around in your property if sewage has bubbled up from the depths of the ground. There is a reason why raw sewage is kept away from people underground until it is treated at an industrial facility, because it is simply dangerous and will eventually cause illnesses.



The following is what can happen when exposed to water from a nasty sewer backup:







  • Pathogenic organisms (germs) … There are several forms a pathogen may take, including viral, bacterial, fungal as well as various parasitic forms. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. Seek immediate help and do not expose yourself to the risky brew of sewage water.


  • Vomiting/poisoning … What often cause food poisoning are bacteria caused by feces. If any of these bacteria finds its way into your body’s cavities, you could be laid up for at least a week or two, motivated only by the need to vomit, diarrhea as well as aimless attempts to avoid nausea. You may need to visit a hospital.


  • Rashes and other fungal skin infections … Simply by exposing any part of your skin to this water can lead to a skin rash, as well as underneath finger nails and yeast infections.



Those problems are just the beginning of what may potentially affect your health in a sewer backup. We are the technical experts that have all the training, experience and equipment that will get to your property in no time, pump out this toxic material, sanitize all affected areas, dry them, salvage the salvageable and haul off what is permanently destroyed. We ensure your property remains dry and dehumidified, and we complete the job by making necessary repairs and renovations.

Wet Basement

Wet Basement

A wet basement poses a significant threat to the rest of your property. Of course, if you have invested in this in-ground space of your home or business, then you are probably actively seeking action to remediate the area. You do not need to have a finished basement to know that this is space to keep protected – basements are very useful. However, many property owners are just not in tune with this room, storing many of their valuables there and then focusing on other property aspects. Whether you use this space frequently or not, it is a piece of your property demanding attention.



Take action on your wet basement now!

We offer a free estimate in Florida at 904-701-3711

or in Georgia at 404-721-1632.

A wet basement has many causes and may run the spectrum from mild to severe. You obviously would take note of a severe case that could involve flooding. Such causes are often natural, such as the significant rise in water level from bodies of water or an extremely heavy downpour from storms that our part of the country frequently experiences. Other major causes of significant basement water include broken pipes, sewage drain backup, an insufficiently-graded yard, a broken window, a brimming window well or a broken water heater.



There are also more subtle causes and effects of a wet basement, including groundwater that comes in as seepage, which may frequently come through cracks in a foundation. Soil moisture often works its way into basements in ways it cannot in surface-level rooms, due to the pressure of soil. The innate ground pressure from soil often makes seepage a greater liability, with the pressure acting as a conduit for water to work its way inside. Rainwater that is not drained far enough away from your walls, or from a rising water table, often finds its way into basements because of this pressure.



The problem with the slow increase of moisture content rather than the sudden storm of a major flood is that property owners often do not notice the problem very quickly, especially if their basement is not frequently visited. Sometimes it may simply be high humidity raising the moisture content in this room to unsafe levels. Mildew and mold are problems involved with a wet basement with which no homeowner should flirt. Both forms of growth can quickly spread throughout your property, eventually eating away your materials, creating unpleasant odors and creating health hazards from allergic reactions to infections and dizziness. Once mold and mildew become established in your home or business, they are extraordinarily difficult to get rid of.



We are a company featuring industrial-strength equipment and proficient know-how to either prevent this growth from happening in the first place, or to remediate your property once it has. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to drain your flooded wet basement, and we will get to your place within the hour. Members of our fleet will arrive with the strongest pumps and vacuums to jettison the invading water, and we have highly effective air scrubbers to treat the air in your home or business, restoring an environment of breathability that all occupants would expect. After all, there is no more fundamental necessity to life than having air that is safe to breath. For all concerns, we are ready to serve you.

Carpet Water Damage

Carpet Water Damage



Carpet water damage must be taken seriously for at least two important reasons. First, indoor carpeting is an investment, and if we can restore it you avoid replacement costs. Second, within a day or at the most 48 hours, even clean water can grow mold and bacteria that are a serious health hazard. The carpet and padding sop up water like a towel, and it must be professionally removed – in a timely manner.



Call us quickly when you suffer carpet water damage.

The number is 404-721-1632 in Georgia

and 904-701-3711 in Florida.

You will get a technician on the line to help you.

Floods, broken pipes and fire sprinklers take a toll on carpeting in homes and businesses. Our professional technicians armed with the newest equipment can take steps to clean carpet water damage and then recondition and restore existing carpet.




The length of time carpets have been under water is a primary consideration. The damage to the backing gets worse the longer the carpet sits in water. Carpet fibers are held together with polyurethane backing which water destroys. This makes our professional water extraction essential. We will use powerful pumps and custom designed water extracting machines to get carpeting out from under standing water.




After water extraction high speed fans are pointed at the surface of the carpet, to speed drying. Since the padding under carpet must be dried, too, we separate the pad from the carpet so that drying air reaches the carpet water damage on the underside, too. At the same time we must employ commercial grade dehumidifiers to get moisture out of the air quickly. Excess indoor humidity slows drying and encourages microbes.




Carpets generally need microbe-killing treatment to ward off mold and mildew. Your carpet will be treated – fogged and sprayed -- with an anti-microbial to inhibit the growth and spread of mold and mildew. This must happen with 72 hours of carpet water damage occurring because mildew starts feeding off of the organic matter in the carpet and mold starts germinating. Steam cleaning will also eliminate bad odors in carpet that had been very wet. There are also enzymes that can be fogged that work at the molecular level to break up odor causers. Mold gradually destroys whatever material it grows on. It is an allergen, and irritant and harmful to the respiratory system.




As further evidence of the hazard mold presents, if our crews have to engage in mold removal due to carpet water damage that cannot be reversed; they wear personal protective equipment including gloves, a respirator, and goggles. If mold is more serious, they may add disposable overalls for additional safety. An entire home or business space with moldy carpet may put crews in disposable full body clothing, head gear, foot coverings, and a respirator that covers the entire face and has a special filter. They use a HEPA air filter to entrap mold spores circulating with the air.




Replacing padding and cleaning carpets with hot water extraction equipment (steam cleaning) is often the final step in repairing carpet water damage. Padding that was immersed or was soaked for long periods of time will likely warp and clot and cannot be smoothed enough when the carpet is set down again. We may not be able to save the padding, but we have years of experience salvaging carpeting.

Getting Rid Of Mold

Getting Rid Of Mold

Getting rid of mold can be safe and effective – when handled by our certified technicians – or if you do it yourself and do it poorly it will make the problem worse. Mold spores are so dangerous, so microscopic, and so easily circulated by air that removal must be handled by our specially trained and equipped teams.
From time to time you hear someone ask, “What’s the big deal about mold? It smells a little musty and looks a little ugly. Why not wash it off once in a while? Isn’t it natural, like penicillin?”







  1. Unlike penicillin, mold cures nothing and causes a host of illnesses when spores are inhaled. It can turn any workplace into a “sick building”.


  2. That musty odor is an indicator that you have a concentration of airborne spores


  3. “A little ugly” black or green slime is constantly reproducing and spurting spores into the air you breathe. It also eats away at building materials. Getting rid of mold should be a priority.


  4. If you “wash it off once in a while” all you do is spread the contaminants. You’ll just make the growth spot even bigger.


  5. “What’s the big deal?” It is a toxic substance; a biohazard.

A flood or water emergency leaves hazards to the quality of indoor air


  • Failure to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. If there is too much moisture in the air, materials never fully dry. They become a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood, including fostering wood rot. This kind of high level humidity and moist materials provide an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms. Coming into contact with air or water that contains these microorganisms can make a person sick. Long-term high levels of humidity can foster growth of dust mites, which can cause asthma and trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks.

We utilize professional grade dehumidifiers

Household Mold

Household Mold



Household mold has names such as Stachybotrys, Aspergillum, and Cladosporium. What they all have in common is that they are hazardous to your health and your family, and they can infect even the cleanest home.



Call us now to identify and safely remove household mold.

Dial 404-721-1632 in Georgia or 904-701-3711 in

Florida and talk to a technician for a free estimate.


The most common sources of mold:







  • A hidden leak inside walls


  • An undiscovered roof leak


  • Any kind of water intrusion, such as a pipe break









  • Structural moisture that was not thoroughly dried following a water event


  • Uncurbed humidity




Moisture from any source will be absorbed by building materials including wood, insulation, drywall and plywood. While dry rot and structural damage are obvious risks, the health threat from household mold is the most immediate concern. Your first clue may be a musty odor. You or a family member may already be suffering a reaction such as burning eyes, dry cough or skin rashes.




Call us for mold inspection, testing and removal. We maintain the most advanced technology available, utilize industry and government standard methods for safely cleaning up mold, and all of our technicians have earned the IICRC – the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certificate.



Why homeowners take household mold seriously:




The species Stachybotrys thrives on water damaged building material such as insulation, sheet rock, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, and more. This black, slimy growth often grows unnoticed for a period of time. It feeds on hidden moisture. This common fungus produces what are called mycotoxins, which are very toxic. They are suspected of causing cancer and have been known to suppress the body’s natural defenses against infection.




Aspergillus varieties of household mold are proven to cause human disease. It also produces dangerous mycotoxins and is known for the speed with which it grows on a wide variety of surfaces. The danger in this species comes when the fungus is inhaled and begins to grow in the lungs, forming a ball.




Cladosporium looks either dark green or black and can resemble velour or chalk. It is often found on the surface of fiberglass duct liners when there is a duct leak or excessive humidity buildup. These fungi cause skin lesions, sinus infections, asthma, and lung infections.







  • As you can see there are different species of common household mold, but all need to be taken care of before excessive amounts result in serious health effects. Even pets are not immune to the health hazard.

You want to find mold early – before people get sick and building materials are ruined. Call 404-721-1632 in Georgia and 904-701-3711 in Florida now to talk to a certified technician about mold detection.


  • Infrared technology has revolutionized mold detection. This is how our certified technicians “see through walls” to determine the location of the source of the moisture that is feeding the mold. This heat detecting tool also identifies concentrations of mold.




  • Air quality sampling in several spots in the affected area determines the amount of airborne mold spores, which is another indicator of the severity of the problem. Special mold detection “cassettes” containing a HEPA (high efficiency particle absorbing) filter snare spores. Laboratory tests measure the air samples and “count” the intensity of the outbreak.




  • Surface sampling is another mold detection technique. This may involve accessing the inside of walls, floors and ceilings. Often it is possible to make a determination of the scope of your problem without cutting through to interior surfaces.

Mold Testing

Mold Testing

Call for our professional mold testing service when:





  • You suspect you have mold and you need to know the extent and source of it


  • You want to make certain you do not have mold or the environment for it to grow





For certified mold testing expertise call 404-721-1632 in Georgia and

904-701-3711 in Florida now to talk to a technician.


Our professional service can give you peace of mind or a place to start. Because we are mold remediation specialists, we know where to look for trouble, and we know what to do when we find it. There are typical problem areas. But mold is also a “hidden danger” that can make people sick long before it is in plain sight. From visual inspection, to moisture readings, to air and surface sampling, trust our technicians to identify the presence of mold spores and the source of the moisture that feeds them.




The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends professional mold testing.







  • “If the mold damage was caused by sewage or other contaminated water, then call in a professional… Even clean water will fuel mold if left standing.”


  • “Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting results.”




Mold is toxic. How do you know you might want mold testing? There may be symptoms. Mold spores irritate eyes, noses and throats. They cause skin rashes. And in people with respiratory illness, children or the elderly, lung problems can develop. You may have suffered a water emergency. If the sprinklers at a school went off, or a pipe burst in an office building, or a basement was flooded, you need to make certain undiscovered residual moisture is not fueling mold. The key to mold control is moisture control. If mold testing uncovers a problem, it must be cleaned up promptly and the water problem fixed.




We are the experts to call for:





  • Inspection


  • Testing


  • Remediation


  • Prevention



Our technicians are trained to inspect inside walls, ceilings, floors, ducts and HVAC equipment. They have equipment to detect growth behind and under showers, tubs, and kitchen and bathroom cabinets.




Who should schedule professional mold testing?




If you are buying a home or commercial building, make sure you are not purchasing a mold problem. An unknown mold problem may exist. Conversely, if you are selling a home you will want to be certain you are not blindsided by mold you did not know you had.




Property owners and managers find mold testing to be part of preventive maintenance and protection from liability issues. If you operate a child care or health care facility you want to make certain the indoor air quality is healthful. Proactive inspection can reveal issues before they threaten occupants.




Home Owners Associations (HOA) who face a water intrusion or water leaking issue want to be certain it has not spawned a mold problem that could spread to multiple homeowners, depleting reserves and property values.

If our investigation determines that there is the presence of toxic mold growth, we will have a head start in developing and carrying out your mold remediation plan. We maintain all of the top technology, and certified technicians to effectively, efficiently and safely remove the threat of mold from your home or building.

Flood Clean Up

Flood Clean Up

Flood clean up sounds like a major, if not improbable tragedy when you think about it in your home. Unfortunately, it happens every day and it is not as improbably as you would like it to be. There are multiple causes of water working its way into your home in areas it is not meant to be. For one thing, indoor plumbing is constantly pumping water in and out of our homes. It is a fairly simple concept of piping, but there are many contingencies that allow plumbing’s successful operation to occur. When something goes wrong, such as a busted pipe, the dreaded improbable flood is a reality. When this occurs against you, call us so we can get there within 60 minutes.
Flood clean up can be both an enormous task as well as one that is of vital importance for the well-being of your home and the health of its occupants and visitors. Let’s fast-forward a bit to examine the consequences of not doing a thorough job in restoring water damage. There are two loathed m-words when it comes to home flooding and moisture problems people never want to hear. One is mildew, an unattractive growth often yielding a nasty smell that is difficult to rid from your home

The smoky aftermath of fire does not stand a chance against our equipment and expertise.



For smoke odor removal in one room, or a

whole house or building, dial 404-721-1632 in

Georgia and 904-701-3711 in Florida now to

talk to technician about a free estimate.

You want to call us quickly, not just to get rid of the acrid smell, but because the air after a fire is corrosive. The by-products of burning materials are gases and they are dangerous to health. Our technology and techniques neutralize the vapors, and we will clean up soot at the same time as smoke odor removal. The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can get you back into the room, the house or the workplace.




Our advanced technologies include:





  1. Thermal fogging


  2. Ozone shock treatments


  3. Professional deodorizers


  4. Air scrubbers and air movers


  5. HEPA (high efficiency particulate absorption) vacuums




Why is smoke odor removal necessary? It is because the smells are literally trapped in walls, ceilings and furnishings. Here’s how it happens: Heat from fire, or the superheated air from smoke, opens “pores” at the molecular level of materials. They fill with smoke, and then when the air cools the pores close again. Now the smoke odor is trapped. Any warmth will release some of the trapped odor molecules.




One of the most effective methods for smoke odor removal is called thermal fogging. It works at the molecular level, where odors are trapped. A thermal fogger produces molecules that penetrate the pores. The temperature of the fog is increased, which opens the pores again (remember, it is heat that opens them). Once the pores are open thermal fogging neutralizes the odor molecules. Our certified crews can eliminate odors in walls, air ducts and very hard to reach areas. Thermal fogging of your house or building gets lingering smells out. No amount of air freshener will ever cover up the acrid aftermath of fire and smoke. It is damaging and uncomfortable and our professional smoke odor removal is the answer.
