Retail Store Cleanup and Restoration

11/12/2021 (Permalink)

I wonder what her favourite colour is...

Retail Stores can be a bit tricky when it comes to cleaning and restoration. Store owners have every customer enter the building, leaving more opportunities for damage for each person walking around inside, whereas office buildings and manufacturing plants rarely ever see visitors.

Also, operating costs are high enough and profit margins are slim enough that you need to be open most days in order to make money.

If you own a retail store, you know that disaster can seriously derail your business progress. It’s important to be in the know about who to call if your store experiences damage and loss. It’d be nice to know you’re in safe hands if everything goes south. It’d be even nicer to have just one number to call for any sort of disaster damage!

That number is (336) 229-1156, and it’s available 24/7, 365. SERVPRO of Burlington NC is always on call and ready to come get to work cleaning and restoring your retail establishment.

Prevent Water Damage to Your Commercial Building

7/26/2019 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO of Burlington we are here for you 24/7 and 365

Ensuring that your business is able to run and function smoothly should always be a priority. Water damage can pose a major threat to business operations. If not taken care of immediately, even a minor water issue can lead to invasive and extensive damage such as mold growth and structural damage. Mold has the potential to make the damage increasingly worse, heighten repair costs, and affect the health of you and your employees. There are cases where water damage just cannot be avoided, such as with natural disasters. However, most cases of water damage can absolutely be avoided if commercial property owners take the proper precautionary measures in order to do so. Follow the tips below and do your best to prevent water leaks in your commercial property.

Schedule Routine Inspections

Paying attention to the property that your business is in is just as important as paying mind to the business itself. Make sure to routinely inspect the building’s pipes, plumbing, fire sprinklers, structure, and roof to make sure everything is as it should be or catch potential issues before they worsen. Wear and tear are completely normal and common in any building but should be addressed by a professional when noticed.

Maintain Your Property With A Professional 

The more often you have regular maintenance to your property, the lesser the chance you have for any issues arising. While you may not notice any alarming concerns on your own, it does not mean that everything is ok. Leaks and damage can occur in hidden areas, behind walls, and can cause water damage to your property that is also unnoticeable. A professional can find these hidden issues and make sure they are properly taken care of. 

Check and Clean Your Rain Gutters

Just as you should around your home, you should constantly check and clean your rain gutters around your business. Rain gutters are designed to redirect excess water away from your property but when they are not cleaned regularly they can get clogged with leaves and other debris causing them to clog and not be efficient. This can cause water to leak into your building either through the foundation or the roof. Water damage that occurs this way can oftentimes extend from your roofing all the way through your insulation, walls, flooring, and foundation. Keeping your gutters clean and free for water to pass through can prevent a major disaster from happening.

Upgrades and Repairs

Consider upgrading your fixtures and pipes to make sure they are able to handle the frequent and excessive usage so that they do not wear out. An inspection by a professional will help to determine what should be upgraded in your building. You need to act fast though because the longer water damage goes unaddressed, the more the damage will spread, worsen, and will likely lead to mold growth.

In the event that you or a professional comes across water damage in your commercial building, you should contact us at SERVPRO of Burlington. Just give us a call at 336-379-1772 We are here for you 24/7 and 365 to assist with water extraction, structural drying, damage repair and more.

Troubleshooting Process for Sprinkler Malfunctions

7/1/2019 (Permalink)

Sprinkler malfunctions can lead to irrigation issues and cause your business to flood

Finding the cause of a problem with your irrigation system is extremely important. Irrigation issues inevitably lead to bigger issues, such as destroyed landscaping, or worse, flooding of your property. Once water gets built up in your landscaping it’ll also seep into your building which can not only destroy some of your office furniture, but inventory, files, and not to mention it’ll disrupt your day to day business. If enough water gets in, you may need to close down your business operations to customers during the time in which it takes to clear the water out and to restore your property.

When sprinklers malfunction, there are several steps you can go through to determine what the underlying cause may be. A number of things can cause irrigation issues. For instance, if some of the components are poor or worn out, you are likely to experience leaks. Perhaps there’s a rock blocking the water’s path, causing the system to have to work harder in order to get the flow to the sprinkler.

Determine Scope of Problem.

Is your whole system out, or is it just malfunctioning in one zone? If, for example, pressure is low in one zone, a pipe in that zone could be clogged. If, however, it is low everywhere, the problem is probably closer to the main source. Determining how large the problem is can help you narrow down the causes quickly.

It is a good idea to contact a qualified professional to help you determine the cause if it’s not immediately evident.

Determine the Type of Problem:

Irrigation problems often tend to fall within two main categories. Hydraulic problems or electrical problems.

Hydraulic problems- are the result of an issue with the way the equipment works. So, if some of the components are poor or worn out it’ll cause the sprinklers to not work properly. There could also be a cut in a pipe, debris in the line or a technical problem with one or several of the sprinkler heads.

Electrical problems – are caused if the components are not getting the power, they need to operate it. Checking the timer or making sure that the irrigation system is fueled from a working outlet can be some of the first things you do when you suspect that the problem is electrical. It is not recommended to try and fix any electrical problem yourself. Should you notice the connection is not working and suspect the outlet is not working then contact an electrician.

Should your irrigation system cause flooding into your business, then call us at SERVPRO of Burlington North. We are here for you 24/7 and 365 days a year and can be reached at 336-379-1772. We will remove and dry up any water. We want to salvage and save your floors from further damage.

Mold in Your Building or Warehouse

5/16/2019 (Permalink)

Mold can hide within the walls of your warehouse or building

Molds can be found just about any place. Molds can grow on virtually any organic substance, so long as moisture and oxygen are present. There are some molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and even insulation. Therefore, a lot of mold hides in places such as inside your walls or in your ceilings above the ceiling tiles, where you cannot usually see it and don't know that it's there until it is sought out. In some cases, mold has been painted over. That does not eliminate the mold.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. Usually, mold growth can be controlled in indoor environments by controlling moisture levels indoors.

The biggest cause of mold, however, is water damage that’s gone unnoticed, has been left unattended to or has not been cleaned up properly. Your commercial property can quickly become infested with mold if a source of water is present in your building. Since mold thrives in environments where moisture is present, areas where there’s been any type of water damage, are ideal for mold to grow and thrive. Mold grows so quickly that it can begin to form within 24 – 48 hours! If not properly treated, it will continue to spread and at a rapid rate.

Since mold can produce allergens and irritants, which can be bad for your health, you should have your commercial property building inspected if you suspect you have a mold problem. Often a musty type of smell will accompany mold if it’s in the building but that is not always the case, especially if you have any chemicals, products etc that give off their own smell as that will mask the smell of mold. If mold is concealed inside your walls, ceiling tiles or painted over, chances are you will not smell it then as well.

At SERVPRO of Burlington, we have the training, state of the art equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold problem. Our quick response and remediation process helps to stop mold in its tracks and prevents it from spreading any further to additional parts of your building. Our highly skilled technicians work both safely and effectively to manage and remove your mold. Just give us a call at 336-379-1772. We are available for you 24/7 and 365 days a year.

Causes of Commercial Building Water Damage and Flooding

5/16/2019 (Permalink)

Water damage or flooding means to call in the professionals at SERVPRO

When you think about water damage, at first thought you usually attribute it to a massive storm. The type of storm that takes out power lines, floods your home or office, and shuts down businesses for days at a time. While most commercial water damage is often the result of floods and water that stems from weather events and storms, those are not the only causes of flooding and water damage.

You want to be proactive in trying to avoid any water damage that can possibly occur and cause a disruption or stop to your business. In knowing some common causes of workplace water damage, you can take some necessary steps to have certain things checked, inspected, and replaced where needed prior to there being an issue.   Here are some of the typical causes of water damage to commercial buildings.

Broken pipes and plumbing Just like in your home residence, if the plumbing system in your workplace fails water damage can occur. Pipes are known to bust either because they end up cracked and it is not caught in time, or simply due to weather changes. It’s common for pipes to freeze in cooler temperatures.  

Backed up sewer lines This cause of commercial water damage often catches business owners by surprise. If the sewer line to your building backs up or becomes damaged, not only can that cause flooding and water damage, but it can also be a huge health hazard. Contaminated Black Water is the result of backed up sewer lines and can cause serious health effects. Contaminated Black Water can also ruin products, office furnishings and any personal belongings kept at your office. This must be handled by professionals who have the right protection and safety equipment to go into the water and all areas affected by it, in order to treat and remove it.  

Malfunctioning sprinkler systems The older the building structure is, the higher the chances that it has outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems. While those sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage not only in the case of when they go of as needed, but also in case they go off due to being faulty or in need of replacement. This could easily damage any carpeting, ceilings, walls, inventory and business assets. 

Damaged appliances and equipment This cause of commercial water and flood damage is most common within restaurants, school cafeterias, bakeries, catering facilities, as well as any other business that has appliances and equipment that make use of water. If an appliance such as a dishwasher, refrigerator, cooler or freezer etc. fails, that will cause water to spread across and throughout your building. When this happens, especially during late or “after business hours” when there may be no one around, you may come back to work and face an extreme water emergency. Often when appliances or equipment break, the water is hard top contain and can often spray out all over, depending on the source. That can still cause water damage or flooding but can be contained more easily and kept to a minimum when someone is present at the time. Water can immediately be shut off, equipment can be unplugged, etc. but in the case when someone is not there it will result in more damage.

At SERVPRO of Burlington, we have the training, state of the art equipment, and expertise to be there for you in case of water damage or flooding. Our quick response and water extraction process will have your business back up and running again very quickly. Our highly skilled technicians get the job done right!
