How Can You Prevent Water Damage During Construction?

3/7/2022 (Permalink)

The construction process is often an exciting time for business owners. However, having to worry about making a water pipe repair and the resulting water damage can make the process stressful. There are several ways businesses can avoid water damage during construction.

3 Steps to Avoid Water Damage During Construction

Prepare for Rain

Heavy rain can sometimes bring a building construction to a stop. Though you can't prevent rain from falling, there are steps you can take to protect your building from flooding. Throughout the construction process, it can be helpful to ensure that building materials remain covered. Additionally, keeping water drainage away from your building can help to prevent major water damage from affecting your property.

Use the Right Materials

Faulty or outdated equipment, such as a broken pipe or damaged appliance, can often cause major delays during the construction process. If major water damage occurs, it may be useful to contact water damage restoration experts. However, using materials that meet relevant building code standards can help to prevent the need for a water pipe repair or other costly and time-consuming repairs. If you are adding on to a property, it can be particularly helpful to check existing building materials prior to construction to ensure the original structure is sound.

Keep Contact With the Project Manager

Throughout the process of construction, you will likely have a variety of questions. A project manager can often help to guide you through the construction process. Asking your project manager, contractor and other important professionals who are taking part in the construction process what measurements they are taking to avoid water damage can bring you peace of mind. If active steps to prevent a flooded building are not being taken, you can request that measurements be put in place quickly.

Avoiding the need for a water pipe repair or a supply line repair during construction can help to make construction a less stressful process. Knowing how to avoid major water damage during construction can help to make the construction process quick and easy.

Essential Information Regarding Smoke Damaged Electronics

8/17/2021 (Permalink)

Call us for any smoke damaged electronic needs you may have!

Any electrical fire has the potential to cause a severe office disruption. Besides structural damage requiring the services of a commercial fire restoration provider, electronic equipment needs to be cleaned before it can once again be used. Here are some things you should know regarding how to handle digital equipment impacted by smoke’s impact.

Types of Smoke Damage To Electronics

Electronic equipment suffers from smoke in three ways:

When smoke gets inside, it can leave a black film that acts as insulation. Over time, this buildup can trigger overheating.
Smoke also has the ability to create a magnetic charge. The resulting shocks can cause serious malfunctions.
Soot generated by an electrical fire is highly acidic. The inevitable corrosion shortens the lifespan of office machinery.

Never operate computers, printers, or other devices reliant upon electricity that have been exposed to smoke until proper cleaning has been administered.

Tips for Dealing With Smoke Damage To Electronics

Prepare for a computer cleanup by shutting down and unplugging every terminal. This preventive measure can help prevent short circuits from causing permanent damage. Next, remove your system’s memory storage. Moving data away from your mainframe means cleaning can take place without the risk of further data loss. Hard drives can typically be accessed via another computer.

Apply protective masking paper to laser printers as a method of minimizing damage caused by smoke. Removing this material is far easier than engaging in a detailed scrubbing. Denatured alcohol should be used to excise any residue that gets inside.

Besides computers and printers, smoke damage can negatively impact tablets, telephones, and more. Employ a cleaning professional to thoroughly rehabilitate your office’s electronics. This decision can save both time and money.
Even the best-maintained buildings remain susceptible to an electrical fire. When one happens, anything that uses electricity may be compromised. Do everything within your power to begin the sanitization process and then hire a specialist to complete the job.

Your Business and Bio-Hazards

8/13/2021 (Permalink)

Here is a group of SERVPRO employees in Tyvek suits entering a large facility for a biohazard cleaning.

When accidents happen at your business or commercial property, the effects can be severe. When the accident involves bio-hazards, you have to be extra cautious to make sure everything is cleaned up and restored properly.

A bio-hazard is defined as “a biological agent or condition that is a hazard to humans or the environment.” Some bio-hazards include pathogens, blood, bodily fluids, animal waste and sewage. You should never attempt to cleanup bio-hazards on your own, because of the health hazards involved. Call SERVPRO of Farmington instead!

Our expert professionals have the specialized training and equipment that is necessary to properly cleanup bio-hazards and prevent the risk of further contamination.

While every situation is different, there are several steps that are common to most bio-hazard cleanups. So that you know what to expect if you’re in need of bio-hazard cleanup assistance at your business or commercial property, here’s a step-by-step guide:

Assessment and Establishing Safety Protocols

The process typically begins with an assessment in which we determine the extent of the risk and damage and decide on the appropriate cleanup response.

Before beginning any cleanup, you must establish proper safety protocols. Sometimes an area might need to be quarantined with bio-tape and plastic sheeting. It’s important to follow the right safety measures to prevent further contamination.

Discarding Contaminated Items

The next step is to remove any contaminated items or materials from the scene that can’t be salvaged. Items are typically secured in specialized bio-hazard bags before being removed from the premises.

Sanitization

Once the area has been cleared, it’s time to disinfect and deodorize the area, often done in multiple steps using several different commercial- or hospital-grade cleaners that have proven to be effective and safe for bio-hazard cleanup. Deodorizers are also used to keep odors from developing as time passes.

If you require help with bio-hazard cleanup and restoration for your business or commercial property, just call our team at SERVPRO of Farmington at 573-756-5191.

Your Business + Water Damage

8/13/2021 (Permalink)

Here is a photo of water damage in a local title company in Farmington, MO.

Water damage cleanup processes at your commercial property can be far more dangerous than many people anticipate. One mistake during water damage is underestimating these dangers. It’s important to know what precautions you ought to take. Here are simple precautions during water damage cleanup recommended by our water damage restoration professionals at SERVPRO of Farmington to help keep you safe if your business ever floods.

The best practice after a flood is to completely avoid going back into your business until it has been deemed safe to do so by SERVPRO of Farmington’s technicians. This is due to the numerous different hazards like water contamination, structural damage, mold growth, and electrocution. Avoiding going back into your Business after a flood may not be feasible for everyone, so if you do make sure you wear the appropriate protective gear to stay safe.

Be ready for the worst (collapsed wall, collapsed roof, gas leaks, electrical hazards, etc.)

Many complications can crop up during the water damage cleanup process. While it is unlikely that all of these will occur after a flood, it is still valuable to be ready and prepared for each one in case it does. Some complications you should be aware of include a collapsed roof, gas leaks, compromised electrical systems, and pest infestations.

Because floodwater is often contaminated with hazardous bacteria and microorganisms, should you have to go back into your business after a flood, wearing the appropriate protective gear is essential. Depending on the scope of the damage, this includes respiratory protection, rubber gloves, rubber boots, Tyvek coveralls and so on.

The water should be extracted ASAP. SERVPRO of Farmington has the trained technicians and the right equipment to remove the water and dry up your facilities quickly.

Doing this mitigates the amount of mold and water damage that your business receives. Each poses its own safety hazards. Do not procrastinate the cleanup process no matter what other distractions you have going on at the same time.

How To File a Commercial Fire Claim

8/6/2021 (Permalink)

Burnt trusses in an attic at a commercial facility in Ste. Genevieve, MO

If a blaze tears through your commercial building, your insurance should help you pay for fire restoration services. First, however, you must file a fire claim. To make that process as painless as possible, follow the below steps.

Call Your Insurer

First, you need to tell your insurer about the fire. You can typically notify the company via phone, the internet or a mobile application. Make sure the insurer has your contact information and the location of the loss.
While your insurance provider may send you a proof of loss form, you should still invite adjusters to visit your property and see the damage for themselves. Adjusters have the professional training necessary to assess the full extent of the harm.

Secure the Premises

You do not want any more damage to occur to your building as you wait for the adjuster to arrive. If it is safe to do so, secure any broken doors or window and put a tarp over the roof.

Make and Collect Records

The insurance company will need proof of your loss to approve your fire claim. That means you need to snap photos of the fire damage. Do not throw any items away without taking a picture or video of them.
You should also gather receipts or other documents that show the value of your harmed inventory and equipment. If you plan to make a business interruption claim, you will also need to demonstrate how much your company was making before the fire. You can do this by giving the adjuster financial statements and tax records.
If you have to spend extra money to keep your business running after the fire, document these expenses, as well. Do not forget to record any harm to your company vehicles, either.
A fire in your commercial property can be scary. However, working with your insurance company and filing a fire claim can help you rebuild.

What is the Best Way to Remove Mold From Retail Stores?

8/6/2021 (Permalink)

This is mold in a back area of a retail store in Farmington.

We have written countless articles regarding the importance of taking immediate action when facing mold on your property because we need you to understand how severely mold damage can impact your working environment in a rather small amount of time.

Surface mold damage found in your retail establishment is easy to remove. However, the sustained growth in building and structural materials can make things much worse, leading to extensive secondary damages, lengthy repairs, and even closure of your facility.

You may have read elsewhere that mold can take anywhere from 4-10 days to cover building materials found on your property. However, this does not take other assets and inventory into consideration. Cash registers, phones, computers, displays, and other essential equipment require particular attention to recover, as well.

A test performed in a controlled environment on a specific material does not offer conclusive results that pertain to your situation because every job is different. A company like SERVPRO can help you determine which steps to take and help you move forward after experiencing mold growth on your property.

As a business owner, you need to keep in mind that by the time you can visibly recognize mold growth on your property, it is already too late. It only takes mold 24-72 hours to begin new growth cycles on surface materials that can continue spreading as long as the right conditions exist. Any amount of time you use to take decisive action can cost you significantly. Having SERVPRO on your side can provide you with the solutions necessary to save your business.

At SERVPRO, we urge our customers to call us at the first signs of mold growth. Using a variety of early detection and extraction equipment, our IICRC certified technicians can get mold on your property under control faster. This fast remediation helps you regain control of your working environment, limit your losses, and ensure a more successful recovery.

Should Discolored Ceiling Tiles Be Cause for Concern?

4/12/2021 (Permalink)

Mold damage on ceiling tiles.

Installing ceiling tiles in your commercial property is a sound investment because tiles are durable and require little maintenance. One consideration that should not be forgotten, however, is that tile mold can grow over time. That’s why it’s critical to conduct routine maintenance on your ceiling tiles.

Items To Look for When Inspecting Ceiling Tiles

Set up a routine preventive maintenance inspection to look for signs of wear and other damages, including:

Discoloration - If you spot any tile discoloration, it’s time to inspect further. Stained ceiling tiles usually indicate that water is leaking from the roofing materials.
Warping - Warped tiles are another telltale sign of water damage.
Rusted and bent grids - These signs indicate further damage beyond the surface.
Dirt and dust - Dust and dirt are the perfect ingredients to encourage tile mold to grow. Keep tiles clean by wiping them with a wet cloth, along with a small amount of cleaner, if needed.

Situations That Require Repairs
If damaged or discolored tiles are discovered during maintenance inspections, repairs or replacements may be necessary. Before you go about the task of replacing any tiles, however, contact a mold remediation specialist to inspect the entire area for mold growth. Professionals are trained to know what to look for and how to best remedy the situation.
When you are ready to replace the damaged tiles, make sure the same pattern is still in stock. It’s a good idea to order enough replacement tiles for future use. If you don’t feel confident installing the replacements, calling a professional will ensure the job is done right.

Preventive Measures To Reduce Risks
Make sure to keep the air ducts of your HVAC system clean. This reduces the dust and mold emitted into the air from the heating and cooling system.

Commercial Water Damage

Water damage in your business? Give us a call 573-756-5191.

What happens when those small water damages go unnoticed, or moisture soaks into a building’s structural components where it cannot be detected by the naked eye? These incidents may sound relatively harmless, but given time, excess moisture can lead to serious problems.

In as little as 24 to 48 hours, microscopic mold spores, naturally present in all structures, can grow into visible mold. Fueled by the moisture, these fungi feed on a variety of building subcomponents including wood, paint, paper, carpet padding, and contents.

While the debate rages on regarding impact mold have on human health, mold and mildew growth are recognized as major contributors to indoor air quality problems. These nightmares happen every day as a direct result of those small water damages that gradually take their toll on buildings and homes. The recipe for disaster is the combination of excess moisture, a food source for mold found in organic building materials (such as wood, drywall, some types of insulation), and a time delay in removing the moisture.

Commercial Damage Levels

8/18/2020 (Permalink)

One of the areas SERVPRO of Farmington has the capability to handle is commercial damage.

There are so many factors that can contribute to commercial damage occurring such as fires due to unforeseen circumstances, facility usage which puts wear and tear on your property, down to the most basic water damage. No matter the source of the damage, this downtime can be costly both to your business and your customers. When damage at your commercial property happens, how do you know to what level and extent? Below we have a grading system we use to determine the level of which your property is assessed and categorized to begin mitigation.

Level 1

Small commercial loss typically involving 15,000 square feet or less of affected floor space. If the facility was entirely affected, examples of a small commercial loss may include but are not limited to, a stand-alone retail establishment, a small church, a daycare facility, a small shopping center, a small warehouse or manufacturing facility, or a stand-alone administrative building. A Level 1 loss can also be a small portion of a much larger structure.

Level 2

Midsize commercial loss typically involving 15,000 to 60,000 square feet of affected floor space. The building or buildings involved are usually multi-level or greatly divided spaces. If the facility was entirely affected, examples of a Level 2 loss may include but are not limited to, a small multi-family property, a midsize church or school, a small shopping center, a multi-tenant administration facility, or a midsize warehouse or manufacturing facility. A Level 2 loss can also be just a portion of a much larger structure.

Level 3

Large commercial loss typically involving more than 60,000 square feet of affected floor space. The building or buildings involved will likely be large multi-level structures. If the facility was entirely affected, examples of a Level 3 loss can include but are not limited to, a large church, hospital, school, or university; a large multi-family property; a mid- to high-rise retail or administration facility; a large industrial, manufacturing, or warehouse facility; or a large strip-style shopping center or shopping mall. This is the level at which it would be appropriate to refer to the project as a “large loss.” Once our team determines the level of loss, the property is further assessed, and a team of appropriate size is dispatched to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Fires Inside Your Workplace

4/14/2020 (Permalink)

Here is a photo of a dryer fire at a local apartment complex.

As a business owner, you never want to think about what would happen if a fire or flood should strike. A fire can cause severe damage to business equipment, materials, and structures. As a business owner, focusing on fire risk assessment, fire prevention, and staff education can help reduce your chance of fire and smoke damage. Here are some tips to help prevent fires in your business.

The first thing is to look around your business and find potential fire hazards. The National Fire Protection Association offers handbooks and other publications on the fire safety code in place for businesses. If your local government offers it, a visit from a fire marshal is a great step for your fire prevention plan. If a marshal visit isn't available, ask for workplace fire risk assessment guidance from your building's property manager.

Having the proper fire protection equipment in your business is essential to prevent fires. Automatic sprinkler systems are a great way to prevent fires from causing too much damage and will provide primary fire protection. Standard fire safety practices call for smoke detectors and fire extinguishers on every floor. There’s more than one type of smoke detector, so be sure and do your research to know what type is best for your business. All employees should be aware of the locations of fire extinguishers on each floor in case they should need access to one. The most recommended type of extinguisher is a multipurpose extinguisher, which will douse most small fires with ease without shorting out your electronics. It is also recommended you equip your employees with an emergency kit stocked with items like bottled water, a flashlight, and an escape mask to fight against smoke inhalation in case of a fire.

Not only are your employees part of your team, they’re also essential assets to your business. You want to ensure their safety as best as you can, and that includes in the event of a fire. Make sure your employees know what to do if there's a fire, including calling 911 immediately. Conduct a fire drill at least once a year to keep employees aware of your workplace fire safety protocol. Designate a person as your office’s fire prevention officer. Their duties will include composing escape routes and meeting points for employees, as well as keeping all your safety plans, equipment, and information updated. If your office doesn’t have one, installing a sprinkler system is cost effective and the best way to fight the spread of a fire in a business. Properly installed and maintained systems are 95% effective according to the National Fire Protection Association in stopping and preventing fires. Be sure to leave some room behind appliances that heat up, like coffee machines and computers, to allow them to cool down. Keep all your business appliances away from combustible materials, like paper or cloth. If possible, unplug these appliances at the end of the day as most business fires occur after typical operating hours. Make sure to check cords on appliances and other electronic devices and replace them as needed. Use one extension cord per outlet and follow manufacturer recommendations for maximum wattage when using power strips. Avoid “octopus wiring,” when wires and plugs clutter around one outlet, as it could lead to an overload. In larger buildings, post a fire evacuation plan in several spots around the workplace. Never include elevators in an evacuation plan; always use the stairs. Businesses with disabled employees should develop a detailed evacuation for those employees needing additional assistance in an emergency. In case of fire injuries, your employees should be familiar with the location of the first-aid kit, which should be kept where possible hazards can occur most, such as in the kitchen.

While fire prevention can help cut down your risk of fire, it doesn’t mean they still can’t strike any time. If your business should have a fire strike, trust the restoration professionals at SERVPRO of Farmington. We’ll make it “Like it never even happened.”

Is Your Business Prepared?

3/23/2020 (Permalink)

Call us 573-756-5191 to make your business disaster "Like it never even happened."

How quickly your company can get back to business after a tornado, fire, or flood often depends on the emergency planning done today. The regular occurrence of natural disasters demonstrates the importance of being prepared for any emergency. While each situation is unique, your organization can be better prepared if you plan carefully, put emergency procedures in place, and practice for all kinds of emergencies. The following are basic measures business owners and managers can take to begin preparing. A commitment to begin planning today will help support your employees, customers, the community, local economy, and even the country. It also protects your business investment and gives your company a better chance for survival.

Develop a Business Continuity Plan Your organization's risk needs will vary depending on the specific industry, size, scope, and location. Begin by reviewing your business process flow chart, if one exists, to identify operations critical to survival and recovery. Carefully assess your internal and external functions to determine which staff, materials, procedures, and equipment are necessary to keep the business operating. You should also establish procedures for succession of management.

Review Insurance Coverage Inadequate insurance coverage can lead to major financial loss if your business is damaged, destroyed, or simply interrupted for a period of time. Insurance policies vary; check with your agent or provider about things such as physical losses, flood coverage, and business interruption. Understand what your policy does and does not cover.

Prepare Your Emergency Plan Your employees and co-workers are your businesses' most valuable asset. Communication is central before, during, and after a disaster. Include emergency information in newsletters, on your company intranet, in periodic employee e-mails and/or other communication tools.

Practice the Emergency Plan Some disasters will require employees to leave the workplace quickly. The ability to evacuate workers, consumers, and visitors effectively can save lives. If your business operates out of more than one location, establish evacuation procedures for each individual building. If your company is in a high-rise building, an industrial park, or even a strip mall, it is important to coordinate and practice with other tenants or businesses to avoid confusion and potential gridlock.

Secure Your Facility and Equipment Install fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and detectors in appropriate places. Secure all entry and exit points and plan for mail safety. Plan what you will do if your building, plant, or store is not usable. Secure valuable equipment.

Improve Cyber Security Protecting your data and information systems may require specialized expertise, but even the smallest business can be better prepared. Use anti-virus software and keep it up-to-date. Don't open emails from unknown sources. Use hard-to-guess passwords. Protect your computer from intruders by using firewalls. Back up your computer data and download security protection updates known as patches regularly.

First Aid in the Workplace

8/20/2019 (Permalink)

Knowing what to do in the wake of a health emergency can literally mean the difference between life and death. That’s especially true in the workplace, where things like fires can lead to devastating injuries and potential liability. Implementing a workplace first aid plan is crucial. Learn the ins and outs of basic workplace first aid following a fire damage and what you can do to keep your staff safe.

What Is First Aid?

First aid involves providing help to a person before medical personnel can arrive to take over.

Types of burn first aid include:

Administering CPR

Applying pressure to a wound

Putting bandages on a wound

CPR

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is among the most important forms of first aid. During a fire, smoke and toxic materials can be inhaled, causing breathing difficulty that can get serious fast.

Businesses should invest in basic CPR training well before a fire to learn how to respond. In general, CPR involves alternating between pushing on one’s chest 30 times and giving rescue breaths. Even without training this can be helpful until help arrives.

Applying Pressure

Bleeding wounds are often an unexpected side effect of fire damage, be it from efforts to put out the blaze or from escaping. First plug the wound to promote clotting. This can be done by applying clean gauze and holding it steady. Next elevate the wound above the heart to slow down blood flow.

Applying Bandages

Burns are vulnerable to infection and need to be cleaned and covered fast. Wash out burned areas with cool water and use clean gauze to cover them. Never break any blisters or apply butter or folk remedies to a fresh burn as it can cause more harm than good.

Fire damage can have impacts well beyond property. When facing fire injuries, call 911 first, then take the above steps to minimize both damage and discomfort.

Fire Sprinklers in the Workplace

8/20/2019 (Permalink)

Fire sprinklers are an excellent safety measure that is most likely required by local building codes, but, while they are a lovely preventative and protective asset, in the case of accidental discharge, they can cause flooding and significant water damage. For most business owners who experience this unintentional disaster, they will typically want to know the process they should adhere to after.

1. Call Your Insurance Company

The first step is to call your insurance company. Most insurance companies will cover damage caused by a faulty or defective sprinkler system, but they will want to ensure that the responsibility lies with the manufacturer and not with the business owner. As the owner, insurers expect you to maintain your equipment, and if there is any sign of persistent issues resulting in the malfunction of the sprinkler system, most insurers will place the financial burden on the property owner.

2. Document the Incident and Any Damage

After you’ve called your insurance company, it is beneficial to document both the incident and the flooding or damage caused by the faulty fire sprinklers. You can document the incident by talking with any witnesses and finding out what occurred before the malfunction. Additionally, you may want to take photos of the area and any damaged merchandise to show as evidence and proof of loss.

3. Cleanup

Once you and your insurance company have determined responsibility, you can begin the cleanup process. SERVPRO of Farmington specializes in water damage and can help you in your restoration efforts. The important thing, however, is to get your business back on track as fast as possible to minimize any significant interruption costs.

Fire sprinklers are essential and often required elements of a business, but, while they do require routine maintenance, they can malfunction, causing flooding and potential business interruption. In case of accidental discharge, it is important to keep the above steps in mind to speed up the recovery process and get back to day-to-day operation.

Five Unbelievable Things Farmington Area Commercial Property Owners Do Not Know About Water Damage

Water plays a large role in your commercial property. For instance, cleaning, laundry, pools, restroom, landscaping, kitchen, heating, and cooling. Although water is a useful resource, it is one of the most destructive elements. How? It can cause physical damage to your commercial property. What you need to know is that water damage can interrupt your business operations without warning. This can result in massive losses. Besides, occupants are exposed to mold spores and other health risks.

Commercial water damage in the Farmington area are typically results of an overrun bathroom/sink, faulty plumbing, damaged appliances, malfunctioning sprinkler systems and backed up sewers. To prevent mold spores from spreading and allow occupants to resume their normal operations, immediate action is required. SERVPRO technicians are trained, experienced and equipped to handle any water damage emergency. Our experts respond quickly to mitigate the damage and save your property.

As a commercial property owner, there are five things you must know about water emergency.

1. It Is Unavoidable
Plumbing, sprinkler systems, sewers, and appliances are manufactured and so, they are prone to damage. A surprise leak can soak your floors, walls, basement, and ceiling.

2. Damage Spreads Fast
Depending on the leak and when it started, the amount of water seeping through the walls, floors, and ceiling quickly becomes a big problem. This leads to mold growth and further damage to your property.

3. Getting Electrocuted Is Possible
Chances of getting electrocuted are very high when the floor, carpet, and walls of your commercial property are soaked with water. To prevent this, cut the power by shutting off the breakers to the affected rooms.

4. Slipping on Wet Floors and Stairs Is Also Possible
Getting electrocuted is not the only problem you are exposing your office occupants too. Slipping and falling can lead to serious injuries.

5. Never Wait to Get Help
The moment you detect water damage in your commercial property, contact our experts. The sooner you call, the faster our experienced team of restoration experts will respond and save your property.

SERVPRO technicians can start by clearing and moving out office furniture, appliances, and equipment. Using high powered truck mounted pumps, standing water is removed before drying begins. Cleaning your property using antibacterial products is then done to prevent contamination. Thereafter, office furniture plus equipment are moved back in.
