Your Business and Water Do Not Mix

3/27/2023 (Permalink)

No matter the cause of flooding, water damage can have a detrimental effect on your commercial building. Whether a pipe burst in a bathroom overnight or floodwaters from torrential rains caused your building’s basement to flood, you may believe that since the damage is already done, there is no rush to have the water drained. However, floodwater can cause damage quicker than you might think, and there are several benefits to having it removed as soon as possible.

1. Mold Can Form Rapidly After a Flood

The environment indoors changes quickly after a flood. Water might be absorbed by carpeting and drywall, which can increase a room’s humidity. In fact, humid conditions can contribute to mold growth and cause this fungus to grow as soon as 24 hours after a flood. Having a professional water damage and mold remediation company come in right away to drain away flood waters and perform mold cleanup may reduce overall repair costs.

2. Humidity May Warp Wood

After a flood, the humidity that builds indoors can cause any wooden building materials to warp if mitigation does not take place within at least a day or two. If standing water is not removed, it can increase the amount of water vapor in the air and cause considerable damage to wooden furniture, molding or flooring. It is wise to remove furniture as soon as it is safe to do so and store it in a cool, dry room, away from sunlight, until affected rooms are repaired and restored.

3. Clean Water Floods Can Cause Damage

If flooding in your building was caused by a plumbing mishap, the results can be just as detrimental. For example, if a pipe burst in the break room, the water can affect electrical systems and equipment or short them out, which can increase the risk of fire. Draining away standing water can reduce these potential hazards.

Flooding in your commercial building can create a variety of problems for you as a business owner. However, whether the flooding was caused by a pipe burst or by a storm, acting quickly can prevent the worst of the damage and lower repair costs. SERVPRO is always here to help! We are here to make it "Like it never even happened," for you!

Smelly Office?

2/21/2023 (Permalink)

How many times have you walked into the kitchen at work and it smells like burnt death?  Someone cooked something that lingers but you are pretty sure they cooked up some sort of roadkill or tried to burn the building down.  Did you know that SERVPRO can get rid of those and many other smells for you? 

Trained Experts

As experts in deodorization, SERVPRO Professionals are trained to identify and eliminate offensive odors. These odors can come from a number of sources both inside and outside a structure.

SERVPRO teaches IICRC technical classes in the proper removal of odors. Masking and other shortcuts don't work when your odor problem is serious or persistent.

We have the training and equipment to identify and eliminate these offensive odors. By identifying the cause of the odor and determining the conditions in which it contacts any surfaces, the odor can often be removed over time without a trace. Our technicians have access to several odor-removal products.

The science of identifying and eliminating odors can be a tricky thing, so give us a call, and leave the restoration to us.

Handling your Commercial Property with SERVPRO

11/25/2022 (Permalink)

There are over 21 million commercial establishments in the United States, occupying 4.9 million buildings. These buildings cover over 72 billion square feet or 1.6 million acres. The U.S. adds about 1.6 billion square feet per year—nearly 110,000 buildings annually, or roughly half-a-million buildings every five years. The sheer magnitude of annual growth in commercial real estate is astounding.

How are you planning on protecting your property?

Most companies attempt to treat a commercial project like a “really big house”, which is a big mistake. Calling and hiring a restoration company without the right education or credentials can cause further damage and business interruption.

With residential homes, the primary purpose is to house a family, whereas commercial structures have a variety of uses and functions. All these factors can affect the restoration process. 

Commercial facilities, if they are greatly impacted by damage, require more time for scoping, planning, and estimating. Additional square footage affected raises the requirements of the commercial project, meaning additional management staff, labor, equipment, and supplies will be needed.

At SERVPRO, we have a highly trained, experienced, and certified team, able to handle all your property damage needs. Our staff receives ongoing training from our corporate training facility to meet and exceed IICRC industry certifications. This ensures we provide the proper assessment and repairs.

When your property is the victim of a disaster or damage, such as water and fire damage, fire and smoke damage, or storm damage, every minute counts to minimize the effect on your building.

Every time we enter a commercial large loss project, we focus on the differences that occur in a commercial building over a residential home. We consider how our communication, planning, and even our conversations might have to be altered to provide the highest level of customer service on a commercial restoration project when speaking with either an owner or property management team.

Our cleaning and restoration team can provide support from water damage cleanup and water damage restoration to fire damage repairs and mold remediation services. As a locally owned and operated facility, we provide commercial cleaning services, residential cleaning services, biohazard cleanup, carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, mold removal, and more.

When you have a disaster or water emergency call us at SERVPRO, your trusted leader for restoration services, 24 hours, 7 days a week to restore your home or business. We are centrally located, and you will receive an immediate response. Faster to any size disaster. Make it "Like it never even happened."

THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT SHOULD

10/27/2022 (Permalink)

By having a plan of action, and including it in your regular training at your office, you can minimize the cost of an unplanned event happens like a busted pipe, fire or any other type of disaster.

Some property managers use this as a tool to keep everything organized in one central location.

Is your business ready for a disaster? Even a simple pipe burst can cause a lot of damage and headaches. With a SERVPRO Emergency READY Profile it can have the critical information to minimize damages, provide the resources for the employees of the company, and provide property details and information. This is a FREE service that we provide to commercial properties.

Make an appointment today to get started!

Mold Infestation in Plainfield Business?

5/17/2021 (Permalink)

We mitigate commercial mold damage in Will and Kendall counties.

Mold damage happens in Plainfield.

After the last rainstorm, we had a small water leak in the ceiling that went unnoticed until we started smelling a musty odor in the office. We saw a ceiling tile in the back of the building was water-stained, and when we took down the ceiling panel, we found it was covered in mold, along with other parts of the ceiling’s interior. Yuck!

Thankfully, one of our employees used SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South in the past for a mold problem, so we called them, and I’m glad we did. When they arrived, they assessed the situation and used an infrared camera to pinpoint the location of the water damage in the ceiling, and repaired the leak. They worked quickly to contain the mold by closing off the part of the building with the mold infestation, and then they began the remediation process to manage the situation. The SERVPRO technicians had the specialized training, equipment, and experience to mitigate and remediate the mold problem.

Mold Problem in Plainfield?

4/26/2021 (Permalink)

We respond to commercial damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Will and Kendall counties.

Mold happens.

Did you know that in the right conditions mold can develop in forty-eight hours? Many commercial businesses experience mold damage in the Spring as the weather becomes warmer. Mold is always present in the Earth’s atmosphere, and these microscopic spores float around, waiting for the optimum conditions to present themselves to land and colonize. Here are some more interesting facts about mold from our website:

• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South has been helping Plainfield commercial businesses remediate mold damage for years. Our technicians have the specialized training and equipment to contain the mold infestation and remediate it to preloss condition.

Smoke-Damaged Building in Plainfield?

2/15/2021 (Permalink)

We mitigate commercial smoke and fire damage in the Plainfield and Naperville areas.

Smoke Damage Happens

As soon as the smoke alarms inside the manufacturing building sounded, we went outside to our designated emergency zones to await further instructions. Thanks to the Plainfield Township Fire Department's quick response, the fire never had a chance to do major damage. The fire was contained to the utility closet, where a dusty electrical panel with some kinked wires caused the fire to ignite.

Even though the fire was contained, there was smoke, soot, and water left from the firefighting efforts that had to be cleaned up before we could become fully operational again. We called SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South and they sent a team of restoration technicians to mitigate the damage.

They extracted the water and set up air blowers and air movers to completely dry the area and cleaned the smoke and soot residue from the walls, floors, ceilings and light fixtures, and workstations, and neutralized the smoke odor. They were also able to supervise the repair of the electrical panel. Now you would never know there had ever been a fire!

Commercial Water Damage in Plainville?

We restore your commercial property damage with minimal disruption in Naperville.

Drenched at Work

I’ll never forget the time when one of our machines in the Plainfield warehouse caught on fire and sent flames up to the ceiling, causing the sprinklers to go off. It was raining inside the warehouse! And although the fire was extinguished safely, everything in the warehouse was soggy and wet. Our computers, telephones, documents, and inventory racks were dripping water. We were able to mobilize and get employees out of the slip zones, and we called SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South.

It was amazing to watch the SERVPRO team in action. They extracted the water from the floor and dried off all of the contents in the warehouse. They set up high-speed air movers and blowers to remove the rest of the moisture from the air, and the next day we were back at work with minimal disruption!

How to prepare an emergency kit for a severe storm in Plainfield

12/3/2020 (Permalink)

Plainfield is no stranger to severe storms. If a community is not prepared for a severe storm, the results can be devastating.  SERVPRO of Plainfield/Naperville South wants to share some of the following tips to keep in mind while putting together an emergency kit in the event of a severe storm approaching. FEMA has stated that emergency kits should include some of the following:

• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Any medicine currently being taken
• Emergency food and water
• Extra change of clothes and shoes
• Pet supplies if you are taking care of an animal

These are just a few examples of what an emergency kit should contain. Residents can add whatever else may be needed. There should be an emergency kit in every residential building as well as all commercial buildings if possible. Aside from having an emergency kit ready, a plan should also be in place. If there is a designated storm area inside the home or office, occupants should head there with the emergency kits. Severe storms cannot be avoided, but with the right tools and resources, they can be easier to deal with.  SERVPRO of Plainfield/Naperville South wants to make sure your city is prepared!
