Steps to Take When Evacuating

Commercial Office Water Damage in Beachwood Ohio

Water Damage in a Commercial Building

In March 2021, call SERVPRO of Beachwood and Cleveland Northeast received a call from a commercial client stating that their roof had leaked into their Newburgh Heights office space, affecting cubicles and hallways. This can happen in the winter after winter’s first thaw and ice that accumulated on a roof now melts and can attack the inside of a building. Our first responders of Beachwood arrived on scene to survey the damage and found that three cubicle spaces and an office were soaked and needed immediate action.

Our crew of technicians got to work by removing the carpet and placing air movers and dehumidifiers to start the drying process. Once complete, our crew sprayed an antimicrobial in the area to slow the potential spread of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, which is crucial in helping prevent the spread of any harmful microbes.

Once the affected areas were dry, our technicians were able to install carpet tiles to restore the office space to a working environment.

What's Damaging Your Home According to Static1...

“Most people think water damage only occurs from flooding after days of heavy rain. Damage can occur even on a sunny day, leaving your Cuyahoga Heights property soaked. Whether the culprit is a broken plumbing pipe, leaking roof, or backup of the sewer system, the damage can be devastating and costly.”

“Roofing – Deteriorated, missing or damaged roofing materials and ice dams can all allow water to enter through the roof and cause damage to the interior of the building and the contents. Inadequate attic insulation and ventilation can speed up the roof’s deterioration and cause ice dams to form in the winter. Exposure to wind, snow, ice, rain and foot traffic can also affect a roof’s ability to keep water out. Businesses often have flat roofs and mechanicals such as heating and air conditioning systems located on the roof, which also present unique challenges.”

Why Should I Call SERVPRO for Water Damage to My Cleveland Residence?

8/20/2017 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Beachwood and Cleveland Northeast are here to help if your University Heights business or Shaker Heights commercial property floods. You may be wondering why you would need us? Sometimes water damage is worse than just a puddle...much worse. How bad can water damage really be...let's see what our friends of West Bend have to say about it: 

"Water damage affects buildings on so many levels. When water creeps into areas of your property where it shouldn’t be, your floor could warp. Water damage also discolors beautifully painted walls. All that moisture can also lead not only to the formation of mold inside the building but also to a vermin infestation. Worst of all, water damage that isn’t immediately addressed through water damage restoration could eventually weaken the foundation of any building.

Water damage is also deceptively costly. You might think that an inch or two of water flooding your home or business wouldn’t burn a hole in your pocket, but there have been cases where that little amount of water has caused damage that cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair and restore."

If you or someone you know experiences water damage, call SERVPRO of Beachwood and Cleveland Northeast today at 216.464.4498!

Commercial Carpet

SERVPRO of Beachwood, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights 216-464-4498...Here to help!

The following was copied directly from: http://www.IICRC.org/consumers/care/commercial-carpet-cleaning/

“Commercial carpet receives many times the traffic of typical residential carpet. That's why it's important to select (fiber, construction, pile design, color) and install commercial carpet that fits a building user's needs. However, once that carpet is properly selected and installed, its durability and lasting beauty is highly dependent on the ongoing maintenance and cleaning programs.

The first critical component in programmed maintenance and cleaning is routine vacuuming coupled with rapid response to spots and spills. Carpet serves as a "sink" or collection point for everything that is tracked in or settles out of the air. Qualities such as sound absorption, slip resistance and soil-trapping ability makes it the most desirable floor covering in many buildings. Ultimately, however, even the best maintained carpet must be thoroughly cleaned to empty the "sink."

This is where IICRC-certifed technicians come in. They have the equipment, training and experience not only to empty the "sink," but also to restore the color and beauty of commercial carpet, while improving overall indoor environmental quality in the building.”

Keeping Your Commercial Kitchen Clean

6/20/2017 (Permalink)

“If you wish to maintain your restaurant kitchen in good condition, you need to ensure routine cleaning. You can either do it yourself or get it done by any commercial kitchen cleaning services. According to experts, the major reason why kitchens get messy is because of the lack of regular cleaning. When you run a commercial kitchen, hygiene and order are essential factors to ensure. You can even be sued unless you maintain your commercial kitchen in good condition.

By keeping the kitchen tidy and ordered, you can impress your customers or visitors. A properly maintained kitchen will surely appeal to your customers. They would mention about it in their communication, which in turn can enhance your reputation.”

Preparing Buildings For Winter

“Building Exterior

• Roof: inspect and repair. Seal around vents and other protrusions to prevent roof leaks.
• Gutters and downspouts: remove all obstructions and make sure they are properly secured.
• Exterior water lines: drain and winterize to prevent pipes from freezing.
• Drains: clear debris so that water drains away from your property.
• Basements: are you prepared for water backups?
• Trees: inspect trees near structures and walk areas and remove unsafe branches.

Building Interior

• Furnaces: inspect, tune-up, check filters, check venting and assure property clearances to combustibles.
• Space heaters: prohibit or minimize use and assure safe location and operation.
• Wood-burning stoves and chimneys: inspected for safe use.
• Interior pipes: protect from freezing. Be very careful if attempting to thaw a frozen pipe. Do NOT thaw frozen pipes with open flames or torches.
• Faucets: leave dripping during intense cold.
• Alarms: test all fire, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Smoking: it may be cold outside but do not allow smoking inside of your building.

Fire Protection Systems

• Sprinkler pipes: protect any sprinkler pipes that are exposed to temperatures below 40 degrees to protect from freezing.

June is National Safety Month- Creating a Safety Management Program

6/10/2016 (Permalink)

There are many things that can be done to create a safe workplace program. Travelers Insurance online wrote an article with lots of great tips.

The following portion was copied directly from: https://www.travelers.com/resources/workplace-safety/how-to-create-a-safety-management-program.aspx

1. Demonstrate management involvement – Management must lead by example. A visible demonstration that you embrace a safety culture is imperative to its success. Provide the essential time, budget and resources to create and support a safety program.
2. Communicate your safety plan clearly – Your safety plan must be published and available to all employees. Reminders and updates should be timely and effective. Allow employees to contribute their suggestions to making the workplace safer.
3. Get everyone involved – A safety program is likely to be more effective when employees at all levels are involved. Standardized policies should outline responsibilities and accountability for all employees. Safety goals can become part of job descriptions and employee reviews. Safety committees can help ensure that safety practices are understood and reinforced throughout the company. Positive reinforcement of safe behaviors can be an effective way to help build the desired culture.
4. Train your employees to work safely – Safety training should begin from the moment an employee is hired. Ongoing training is also essential to creating a safety culture.
5. Review, revise, improve – A safety program should be dynamic, especially since most business environments continue to evolve. An effective safety program should be flexible enough to adjust to changes. Regularly review, evaluate and identify risks that could affect safety, and make the changes necessary to keep your workplace safe."

June is National Safety Month- Safety in the Workplace

6/9/2016 (Permalink)

There are many things that can be done to create a safe workplace culture. Travelers Insurance online wrote an article with lots of information.

The following was copied directly from: https://www.travelers.com/resources/workplace-safety/creating-a-safety-culture-in-the-workplace.aspx

"The following four steps can serve as a starting point in driving safety across your business.

1. Evaluate risks. To understand how to create a safer workplace, you must first understand the risks you face every day. Each task and associated risk should be properly evaluated, and safety-based changes should be considered.

2. Design a plan to keep safe. A good plan is the best place to start, but it is only the beginning. Once you have a plan, you must act to eliminate or minimize risk.

3. Implement your plan. Implementation entails communication of the plan and its details, training, regularly scheduled practice and drills, and ongoing review. A thorough plan will cover a number of potential risk areas, including buildings and equipment, the environment, employees, customers and vendors.

4. Monitor, evaluate and improve your plan. As your business environment changes, so should your safety program. Regularly test your plan to determine if it fits the changing business environment and reflects changing accountabilities.

Commercial Carpet Tips from IICRC

5/17/2016 (Permalink)

The following was copied directly from: http://www.iicrc.org/consumers/care/commercial-carpet-cleaning/

“What steps should I take to maintain carpet in a high-traffic area on a daily basis, and to deal with spills and stains?

·         It's a good idea to keep sand, grit and grass clippings off walkways outside entries to prevent inward tracking of these abrasive soils.

·         Purchase a properly sized entry mat, the bigger the better.  There must be room for at least two steps to sufficiently wipe soil from feet before encountering the installed carpet. A carpet with a nylon face and vinyl back is best for moisture and oils absorption, combined with the resiliency necessary to collect a quantity of particle soil. The IICRC suggests a rental mat, since that guarantees frequent maintenance. Place entry mats on hard surfaces rather than on carpet where they can trap moisture or cause plasticizer migration.

·         Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum daily, especially after major events. The sooner you collect soils from the surface, the easier it is to remove them. For most carpet, you should use an upright vacuum with brush agitation, unless your canister vacuum is particularly well designed. The wider the head, the more efficient.

·         Typically, deep cleaning should be accomplished on at least a semi-annual basis, with no more than two entry and high-traffic area "rinse" cleanings between the deep cleaning. This is dependent on traffic and daily maintenance as well. At a minimum, some attention should be given to primary entry areas on a quarterly basis.

·         If spots are treated immediately, most will respond with plain warm water and very little mild detergent added.

·         Use high-efficiency double-lined poly-fiber collection bags. This reduces periodic maintenance such as dusting of furniture, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) filter exchange.

·         Make sure the HVAC system is slightly positively pressurized as well, which means that air is going out when doors are opened, rather than being sucked in. Proper air exchange rates can be calibrated according to ASHRAE regulations for the building with a trained HVAC contractor.

·         Ensure proper air filtration through the HVAC System. High-efficiency pleated filters, rather than inexpensive fiberglass filters, are recommended.”

Commercial Carpet Cleaning

“Commercial carpet receives many times the traffic of typical residential carpet. That's why it's important to select (fiber, construction, pile design, color) and install commercial carpet that fits a building user's needs. However, once that carpet is properly selected and installed, its durability and lasting beauty is highly dependent on the ongoing maintenance and cleaning programs.

The first critical component in programmed maintenance and cleaning is routine vacuuming coupled with rapid response to spots and spills. Carpet serves as a "sink" or collection point for everything that is tracked in or settles out of the air. Qualities such as sound absorption, slip resistance and soil-trapping ability makes it the most desirable floor covering in many buildings. Ultimately, however, even the best maintained carpet must be thoroughly cleaned to empty the "sink."

This is where IICRC-certifed technicians come in. They have the equipment, training and experience not only to empty the "sink," but also to restore the color and beauty of commercial carpet, while improving overall indoor environmental quality in the building.”
