Business Owners, You Can Avoid Being a Part of An Ugly Statistic

11/2/2022 (Permalink)

50% of business may never reopen after suffering a disaster, such as a water or fire damage. You can avoid being a part of that statistic!

If you are a business owner, the absolute, most important step you can take to ensuring your business is prepared for the unfortunate (and most often, unpredictable) event of fire, water, mold, and biohazard events from occurring is scheduling a time for your local SERVPRO of Clayton County pros in green to come out and offer our free, at-no-cost assessment of your facility.

During this visit, we are not there to show you every flaw of your building. Your time is valuable, and let's be honest, who wants to hear about everything structurally vulnerable to your building. Instead, we simply gather all of the pertinent information regarding your building, such as the locations of all of your main water shut-off valves, for instance. We also take the time to take photos of these valves with descriptions of where they are located in your building, as well as establish a proper chain-of-command of who your SERVPRO professionals should be communicating with when having work authorizations signed, and more. 

Your property manager and team will receive a physical copy of this Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) as well as a free app for those approved in your building to access at any given time to ensure the proper response to any unfortunate event that has taken place at your building. A whopping 50% of business may never reopen after suffering a disaster, such as a water or fire damage. Alternatively, the businesses who took us up on establishing an ERP for their building are able to reopen quickly because of this preparation. We do the work for you in creating your ERP as a token of our appreciation for being your dependable, local team of disaster restoration professionals. 

Give SERVPRO of Clayton County a call today to schedule your ERP! You will never regret it!

Why is Cleaning Your Air Ducts Important?

10/5/2022 (Permalink)

The average air duct system should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years.

There is nothing like the sense of accomplishment that comes with taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of your household, or clients in and out of your place of business. A great way to consider starting the journey in ensuring your home or place of business has a clean environment, consider having your air ducts cleaned on a regular basis. The average air duct system should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years, but if you are unsure, it is good practice to at least begin by having a visual inspection of your air ducts performed to ensure there are no large deposits of dust or mold. It is also important to make sure there are no must odors or visible mold growth.

A general overview of when you should consider having your air ducts cleaned is when there is visible mold growth inside hard surfaces, when there is evidence of vermin infestation (rodents, bugs, etc.), and the more obvious: when your ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris. It is also important to note that many sections of your HVAC may not be accessible for a DIY, visual inspection, so it is a good practice to schedule a service provider to show you any mold they feel exists in and around your heating and cooling system. If you want to take it a step further, grab a piece of household tape, lay it across an accessible surface in which your service provider says contains mold, and send off the sample to a microbiology laboratory so they can determine if it is indeed mold, or simply a substance that resembles mold.

Is your business ready to handle a water or fire disaster?

7/4/2022 (Permalink)

We will share some tips and no-cost emergency planning tools for business owners to follow in order to be prepared for disaster response and recovery. Preparing now will make a difference in how quickly you can overcome challenges and obstacles in reopening your business after an unplanned event.

Having an Emergency Readiness Plan in place is the key to an effective emergency response.

If you do not have a plan in place, we encourage you to look at SERVPRO’s Emergency Ready Profile and Ready Plan Mobile App. This is a free facility assessment to create a comprehensive plan that included information about emergency contacts, phone numbers, email addresses, insurance information, where key shut-off valves are located, where keys are needed to access said areas, blueprints, pdfs, photos, etc. Having all that information in one place, having the possibility of sharing it with whoever is on-site, can be the difference in limiting property damage and loss.

Do you have a mold problem in your building?

7/1/2022 (Permalink)

Mold is a major headache for business owners in our area, especially in the summer months. This problem can cause major damage to drywall, insulation, wood, etc. It is important to inspect your property for any sign of water damage that can rapidly turn into a mold issue. When our technicians find signs of microbial growth, their initial focus is to stop the water source from affecting additional areas. The source could be from a leaking water heater, a busted pipe, a leaky roof, condensation, etc.

When you call SERVPRO of Henry, Spalding, Butts and Clayton Counties to help you get rid of mold around your commercial property, you know you are getting a qualified restoration company and trained mold damage specialists to tackle any size disaster.

Make Sure You Are Keeping Your Commercial Air Ducts Clean!

If you are interested in getting your air ducts cleaned, give SERVPRO of Henry, Spalding, Butts, and Clayton Counties a call at 678-432-3003.

Many people or businesses tend to overlook certain aspects of their commercial buildings when they are going through their maintenance checklist. One thing that is often forgotten about is air duct cleaning, because cleaning an air duct system that is not showing any obvious problems can seem like an unnecessary expenditure of time and money. According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) the rule of thumb for consumers is that “if your air ducts look dirty, they probably are.” While you do not need to clean you air ducts every year, it is not something that you do not want to forget to maintain. Below are some benefits to cleaning your air ducts:

1. Improved indoor air quality
2. Greater HVAC system efficiency
3. Longer HVAC component lifespan
4. Air duct cleaning conserves energy
5. Air duct cleaning will save you money in the long run

Accidents Happen!

2/1/2022 (Permalink)

Recently, a moving truck at an apartment complex in Atlanta disregarded the height signals and caused a major flood in the parking deck.

A commercial sprinkler system uses approximately 15 gallons of water per minute. If just 2 zones are affected for 10 minutes, more than 300 gallons of water have caused tremendous damage to your property. As with the example mentioned above, sprinkler systems go off for many reasons besides fire.

What should Property Managers and Engineers do if that happens in their building? The most important thing to do is to turn the water off. It is important to know the location of the water shut-off, that is why we recommend having an ERP for the building, where it shows the location of the water shut-off, electrical panels, alarm systems, etc. If there is extensive water damage, call an expert in dealing with water mitigation for commercial buildings. This will save the building owners and managers time, money, and headaches.

If you are dealing with a fire or water emergency, call SERVPRO of Henry & Spalding Counties and SERVPRO of Clayton County at 678-432-3003. We have more than 20 years of experience in the restoration business to deal with any size disaster 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Importance of HVAC maintenance

7/2/2021 (Permalink)

It is very important to maintain your building’s HVAC system. Usually when these units malfunction, they create a lot of unwanted headaches for owners and tenants.

Regular maintenance will prevent costly repairs, save you money on the electricity bill, and improve the air quality of the building.

Ask the HVAC inspector to check for rusted drain pans, broken condensate pumps cracked heat exchangers (ask the HVAC company in advance to see if this test is included). If you need to replace a unit, look for the Energy Star label, to help the environment by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and meet energy efficiency guidelines.

Don’t let a water loss turn into a contaminated loss

8/3/2018 (Permalink)

Call Us Today – We’re Ready To Help 678-432-3003

During the summer, if your business experiences a water loss where the power is shut off, the high temperatures and high humidity can cause microbes to grow much faster than one would think possible. We don’t like to think about it, but microbes are everywhere, and they can grow everywhere in your facility (wood, paper, drywall, insulation, carpet, etc.) These microbes become airborne and spread to other clean areas and create cross-contamination.

They key is to act fast to prevent a water loss job to grow into a contaminated loss.  If it is possible, and safe to do so, start extracting the water and get power restored as soon as possible. Decrease the temperature and moisture in the building. If possible try to keep humidity below 60 percent.

You need a company that is qualified to avoid microbe growth. Here at SERVPRO of Henry & Spalding Counties, we are focused on reducing business interruption, reducing claims cost and minimizing callbacks. Our crews are highly trained restoration professionals that use specialized equipment and techniques to properly remediate the problem quickly and safely.

• Do NOT overload your circuits.
• Periodically check your electrical cords, and replace any damaged cords immediately.

By following these tips you can greatly reduce the chances of an office fire, but in the event of a fire you should have an evacuation plan posted all around the building. Once everyone is safely removed from the building and the fire has been put out then you can call SERVPRO of Henry & Spalding Counties to help mitigate the damages and make your building feel “Like it never even happened.”

Icy Conditions

Much of Georgia is under a winter weather advisory with freezing rain and ice accumulation expected.

• Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.
• Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potential slippery or hazardous areas. Install mats or non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water could be present.
• Ask SERVPRO of Henry & Spalding Counties Professionals about starting a Disaster Recovery Plan for your business.
