How To Detect Mold in Commercial Buildings

2/16/2023 (Permalink)

If you suspect invisible mold growth in your place of business, seek professional mold testing.

Mold Detection in Commercial Buildings

Mold infestation is a hassle for businesses, especially in humid regions. Even in dry areas, trapped moisture from leaking pipes, water seepage through roofs and exterior walls, and water vapor from appliances can create a breeding ground for mold. While unsightly mold growth may be easy to spot, the signs of a troublesome mold infestation are not always so obvious. In these cases, business owners need a qualified indoor environmental specialist to quickly diagnose the problem.

Understanding the Risk

While invisible mold may be difficult to detect, there are signs and risk factors to keep in mind. These include the following:

• Previous or existing water damage
• Previous mold infestation
• Inadequate ventilation
• Air that smells musty
  
  

Undetected mold can create havoc in a commercial building, so if you have any of these signs or risk factors, hire an indoor environmental specialist as soon as possible. It is especially important to find someone who has the training and expertise to conduct an accurate mold test. Accurate testing allows quick identification and isolation of the mold, making it easier to get the infestation under control.

Taking the Next Steps

By testing the air and various surfaces within your commercial building, an indoor environmental specialist can assess not only the presence of mold but its source. The next steps include containing the mold, addressing water leaks and moisture buildup, and safely removing the mold itself. While it is not possible to eliminate mold spores completely, the remediation process keeps nuisance mold from growing out of control. You can rest assured that the indoor air quality of your business will be satisfactory for customers and employees alike.

If you suspect invisible mold growth in your place of business, seek professional mold testing. Gain peace of mind knowing that a highly skilled professional will make your commercial building a pleasant place to do business.

What Are The Landlords Responsibilities After a Fire?

2/16/2023 (Permalink)

After an apartment fire, you need to take the proper steps to ensure that everyone, including yourself, is safe.

Steps To Take After An Apartment Fire

When a fire breaks out on a rental property, it can be hard to figure out who has to pay for the damages. Whether you rent out commercial or living space, the liability after a fire is pretty straightforward. Your tenants have to cover the damages done to their personal belongings, such as televisions, furniture, and paintings. However, you are responsible for most damages done to the building itself. As a building owner, you may be responsible for the following tasks after an apartment fire:

• Communicating With Fire Fighters: These first responders can help you assess the safety of your building. You and your tenants will likely want to enter the apartments to get an idea of the damage done. However, you cannot enter the building until it is deemed safe.

• Starting Claims Process: You have to get in touch with your insurance provider to report the apartment fire. Your agent may give you a list of fire restoration professionals that they prefer you use. You may also want to make sure your renter calls his or her insurance provider to start the claims process for personal belongings.

• Documenting Fire Damage: You need to take pictures of the structure, make lists of damaged appliances and record other furnishings you owned that were damaged.

• Securing the Property: You need to secure the property for two reasons. First, you need to protect the safety of those who may want to enter the building, such as your renters. Putting up warning signs may be enough to keep people out until it is safe to enter. Second, you need to keep vandals and thieves out. You may need to board up windows and put up a security fence.

After an apartment fire, you need to take the proper steps to ensure that everyone, including yourself, is safe and fully aware of the damage liabilities. While you aren't responsible for all of the damages, you do have a lot of financial responsibility.

How to use a fire Extinguiser

11/29/2022 (Permalink)

If your commercial property in Sanford sustains fire damage from a kitchen or electrical fire, you should contact a commercial restoration company.

A fire extinguisher is a helpful safety tool for suppressing small to medium-sized fires and limiting fire damage. As soon as a fire starts, get the extinguisher and identify a safe evacuation path. You should check to make sure that the extinguisher you have on hand contains a suitable substance for the type of fire you are trying to suppress. It is also a good idea to sound the fire alarm on a commercial property and contact the fire department before attempting to suppress a fire.

Whether you have never used an extinguisher or it has been a long time since you experienced a fire emergency, here are four simple steps you can follow.

1. Pull the pin. Pulling the pin on an extinguisher will break the tamper seal.
2. Aim the fire extinguisher nozzle, hose, or horn. Point the dispenser at the base of the fire. Avoid making contact with the discharge horn on a CO2 extinguisher, as it may become very cold.
3. Squeeze the handle. Squeeze the handle to dispense the substance within the extinguisher in the direction of the fire.
4. Spray from side to side. Move the spray horizontally across the base of the fire until it appears to be out. Remember that a fire may seem to be out and then reignite.

Keep watching the affected area to make sure the fire does not restart or have firefighters inspect the area to make sure it is out. Once you use a fire extinguisher you will need to either refill or replace the extinguisher, depending on whether the design is reusable or disposable. Reusable extinguishers cost more upfront but less to refill than buying a new disposable extinguisher. If your commercial property in Sanford sustains fire damage from a kitchen or electrical fire, you should contact a commercial restoration company.

How Do I Submit a Claim Following a Fire?

10/7/2022 (Permalink)

Get in contact with your Insurance agent

How Do I Submit a Claim Following a Fire?

Calling your agent is the first thing you should do after a fire damages your commercial property. Call the insurance provider directly and explain what happened if you can't immediately get in touch with the agent. Then, leave the house as soon as you can to allow firefighters to do their jobs. Do not discard anything until an adjuster has seen it; instead, take photos and videos of everything. To avoid additional damage and stay within the repair budget set forth in your insurance policy, try to make temporary repairs yourself. Keep all receipts for reimbursement purposes, please!

Call your agent right away.

Call the insurance provider directly and ask how to submit a claim if you're unsure that you can get through to your home or commercial property's fire insurance agent. Contact your agent or the insurance provider right away if you have a home fire insurance policy.

If you're unsure that you can reach your agent, contact the insurance provider directly and inquire about the claim-filing process.

If you're unsure that you can reach your agent, contact the insurance provider directly and inquire about the claim-filing process. You can get in touch with your claims adjuster by asking the insurance provider any questions you may have about insurance in general.

If the fire is small enough that it's contained within one room of your home, it's possible that only part of your property is damaged—and that should be covered by homeowner's or renters’ insurance. If this is the case and the damage isn't extensive enough for an adjuster to visit and assess, there's no need for you to file a claim right away.

Document everything with photos and video.

This step is extremely important, especially if you plan to submit a claim. Before you begin repairs, take photos of all damage and the state of your room. If you can, move around the room while taking photos to capture a variety of perspectives of what has happened to your possessions.

Regarding video, it's great if your smartphone or camera can record both stills and video at once (some can), but even if it can't, don't worry about taking separate clips for each part; this is just as good if it depicts how the scene appeared before and after the fire occurred.

Also, take pictures of receipts for damaged items—and make sure they're legible!

Keep track of all broken items, and don't forget to add any receipts from the house you can find buried in the wreckage.

It's crucial to keep a list of all damaged items after a fire. If you can locate any receipts for replacement items or temporary repairs, be sure to include that information as well.

Even if only a portion of a room was damaged by fire, you should take pictures or videos of everything in your house before you start making repairs because you might need to show the adjuster how the item looked before damage occurred.

You should list all of your possessions and keep a running tally of their respective values. To estimate an item's value based on its condition and the year it was produced, use an online valuation tool like EstimateMD's helpful-ness guide (yes, that's right).

Make temporary repairs yourself to prevent further damage. 

Making temporary repairs by yourself will help stop further damage. These expenses must be covered by your insurance up to a certain limit. But keep in mind that you'll need to save every receipt if you want to be reimbursed.

Call your insurance agent right away if there has been a fire. Ask the insurance company how to submit a claim if you are unsure if you can reach your agent. Record everything on camera and in video. Keep a list of everything that is broken, and be sure to include any receipts from the house you can find among the debris. Never dispose of anything before the adjuster has seen it. Take pictures or videos of every room in your house before making repairs, even if only a portion of it was damaged by fire, as you might need to show them what it looked like before the damage occurred.

How Flood Water Damage Can Impact Your Business

6/7/2022 (Permalink)

Continuity is crucial for any business. More than 40% of businesses do not reopen after a disaster, and of those that do, only 29% stay operational.

Flood damage to your commercial property can spell a lot of problems. Not only will the water damage have to be repaired, but there could be issues with mold growth, which has serious implications. Mold spores are microscopic and float through the air right into your building, where they begin growing on the wall or floor surface they land on. For this reason, it is important to call for a commercial flood damage restoration North Seminole as soon as possible. Water damage remediation North Seminole can help minimize further damage to your business.

Here are some of the things that could happen after experiencing commercial flood damage.

Increase insurance premiums

If you have business interruption insurance, this will cover the costs of lost revenue while your business is closed. However, if you are not covered for this type of damage, then you will have to pay for the repairs out of pocket, and that could increase your insurance premiums.

Loss of customer base

If your business is in a flood zone, then you might want to consider relocating. In some cases, customers will not want to deal with a business that has been flooded and will go elsewhere. This can also happen if your business was damaged in a flood, but you have not moved.

Cannot compete with other businesses

If your business is flooded or damaged, your competitors will be able to offer better prices. You will have to cut your prices to stay competitive, and if you cannot afford that, then you might have to close.

Significant structural and electrical damage in the building

If the building is not structurally sound after the flood, then you will have to pay for repairs. In some cases, it might be cheaper to just rebuild than it is to repair. Flooding can cause serious damage to your building’s electrical system and appliances. To make matters worse, if you haven't immediately contacted water damage remediation North Seminole, fire risk can be your next biggest problem.

Potential problems with your business operations

Continuity is crucial for any business. More than 40% of businesses do not reopen after a disaster, and of those that do, only 29% are still in operation two years later, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A flood can cause serious problems with continuity and will cost you time and money to get things back up and running. If your business is closed for a long period of time, you will have to deal with the costs of lost revenue. If your employees are unable to work, they might sue you for back wages. If a flood causes extensive damage to your building, you might want to consider relocating.

Conclusion

In addition to all these things, you will also have to deal with all the stress that comes with such a catastrophe. You might lose sleep worrying about how you are going to get everything done. The most important thing to do right after flooding is to schedule a commercial flood damage restoration North Seminole.

Why is Commercial Building Cleaning Important?

10/14/2021 (Permalink)

Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned

With the rising cases of COVID-19 positive, we need to be extra careful when it comes to sanitation and cleaning our surroundings. We should clean not only our house but also our commercial building as we spend most of our time there. If your commercial building needs more manpower to clean, you can always ask for commercial building restoration services. So to convince you more, here are the reasons why commercial building cleaning is important: 

• For a More Healthy Staff

Staff are one of the important stakeholders why a company runs so investing in them can give you benefits in the future. Investing means providing them a safe workplace where they can’t worry if they might have been exposed to the virus.  In addition, nobody wants to work hard at their job only to know that they are expected to clean and tidy their space. Leverage on this one, ask for a commercial building cleaning service. Having a third party to clean your building can help your staff focus and put quality to their overall work as there would be no more additional chores. In addition, it’s already a proven fact that staff and workers are generally more productive and positive in a cleaner and safer environment. 

• For the Building

Building maintenance if not properly done can break you. Sink faucets, microwaves, refrigerators, water fountains, or vending machines can be a place where bacteria want to play if these are dirty. If you are having a bunch of employees it would be uncontrollable and so keeping these clean can contribute to a healthy working environment. Common areas like breakrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens should also be well maintained to keep office workers healthy and help stop the spread of the virus.

• To Avoid Indoor Pollution

Indoor air quality is another concern in office buildings. Since the virus is airborne and we tend to spend more time indoors than outdoors, the quality of the air in the office is important. Poor air quality can lead to infections, respiratory problems, and chronic lung disease such as asthma. Office buildings can improve quality indoor air by practicing methods to reduce allergens and dust. A commercial building cleaning service can help you with it if you are unsure where to start. They often use green cleaning products to minimize chemical use.

1. Long Term Cost Savings

Some companies only perform the most basic cleaning process. While dust lingers on top of cabinets, shelves, on blinds, and in hard-to-reach areas, we need to get rid of them. Maintaining the office includes keeping furniture, shelving, desks, floors, and other areas free from dust and contaminants. Investing in commercial building restoration services can help save you future costs as they are already trained and expert professionals. They already have the equipment and materials that would be needed in cleaning so it will save you a lot of time as well. The savings can be significant in terms.    

Final Thoughts

Because of the busy schedule, we often forget the importance of cleaning the workspace. However, having a clean working environment means you care a lot about your employees because providing them a safe workplace means having them healthy and happy. 

SERVPRO of North Seminole County provides exceptional restoration and remediation services for both residential and commercial properties. Because emergencies tend to not abide by a schedule, our highly trained and experienced crews are dedicated to responding immediately; operating 7 days a week with 24-hour emergency service.

SERVPRO of North Seminole County at (407) 323-2422 is ready 24/7 to assist with commercial water cleanup of any size.

Safety During Commercial Water Cleanup in A Seminole County Hotel

When a business relies on heavy foot traffic as part of their business model, the need for safe commercial water cleanup is crucial. The goal of SERVPRO is to help businesses experience the least amount of loss and undergo mitigation as safely and quickly as possible.

In the case of a hotel in Seminole County requiring commercial water cleanup, SERVPRO technicians arrived on-site and determined that slip and fall accidents were a danger from the wet tile floor. They taped off the water loss area and put up signs to ensure while the rest of the hotel lobby remained open, a wandering guest in the hotel did not endanger themselves during the cleanup and drying process.

Removal of Water and Wet Items
The water came from a large scale plumbing leak in a single area of the lobby. The technicians used their moisture detection equipment to track the migration path of the water and extracted the standing puddles. A single wall received the effects of the plumbing issue, and only that area required the removal of the sheetrock for both airflow to dry inside the wall cavity and for repairs to the pipe. The rubber-backed industrial rugs did not absorb any water and only needed cleaning for reuse.

Disposal of Some Furnishings
While hardwood furnishings hold up well against most water exposure, the composite wood furnishings in the lobby that received water damage did not have restoration or repair potential due to the damage to the bases. The techs noted these items in detail, including photos for use by the hotel when filing an insurance claim.

Drying and Restoration
The professional drying equipment SERVPRO utilizes use such a high-velocity airstream that it forces embedded moisture to rise and is ported away by their dehumidification equipment. This begins a cycle of progressively drier air circulating and results in eliminating the moisture.

SERVPRO of North Seminole County at (407) 323-2422 is ready 24/7 to assist with commercial water cleanup of any size. Their technicians bring the equipment and knowledge to make the loss, “Like it never even happened.”

Hurricane Protection Tips For Florida Businesses

How To Protect Your Business From Hurricanes 

When hurricane season arrives, you see a lot of business owners in Central Florida board up their windows and get sandbags. After all they are trying to not only protect their buildings exterior from the storm but the merchandise inside as well. If business owners do not try any way to protect their businesses from a hurricane, then water and storm damage is possible to their commercial property. And when that happens, they could potentially be out of business for weeks if not months after the storm has passed. 

So we wanted to outline some basic commercial property protection tips for Florida business owners. 

Hurricane Protection Tips

1. Trim trees or other plants 

At your business, you are going to make sure your trees and bushes are trimmed to help ensure that nothing comes flying through your windows during high winds. Debris is one of the most damaging forces in a hurricane, and it could damage your future business revenue as well!

2. Storm shutters

If you live somewhere prone to hurricanes and powerful storms like we do here in Central Florida, it's always a good idea to install storm shutters on your windows at the office just like you would at home. If anything, you can try to board up your windows if your property manager allows it. 

3. Storage space

If you are a company that deals with equipment (like we do) it's important to have a space inside your office where you would be able to store everything if need be. This helps to prevent any equipment from getting wet and possibly ruined. 

So that's it. All it takes is a few extra measures to make sure your business is as safe and secure during a storm as your home! 

If you ever do end up with a water damage in your home or place of business, don't worry...We're here for you.

Getting Back To Business

As we begin to go back to work many will be returning to buildings/facilities that have been closed for weeks or months. This creates the potential for unidentifiable odors from ambient humidity, lack of temperature control or undetected leaks. 

At SERVPRO of North Seminole County we are experts in identifying and eliminating odor(s). However, eliminating the odor is only part of the solution. If the cause of the odor isn't identified and remedied, you are simply putting "a band-aid on a broken leg". 

Should you have an odor issue upon your return to work let SERVPRO of North Seminole County investigate it for you. We will do so at no cost and provide you with a report of our findings and an estimate for remediating the source and eliminating the odor, if necessary.
