Space Heater Safety Tips for the Workplace in Crestview?

1/10/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in commercial property damage restoration in Okaloosa County.

Space heaters take the chill out of offices in the winter mornings. Our local Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley team wants everyone to be safe around heating equipment and offers these space heater safety tips from Travelers Insurance:

Employers without a formal policy prohibiting space heaters should provide guidelines for safe use.

• Use of space heaters should not be allowed unless supervisor or management approval is provided before use
• Units that have been listed or labeled by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories), CSA (Canadian Standards Association), or ETL (Intertek) should be the only space heaters permitted for use
• Keep at least 36 inches of clearance around every space heater and only use them in areas free of flammable liquids and easily ignited or combustible materials
• Proper placement of the space heater is important. Be sure it is not in a high-traffic area or where it may become a tripping hazard.
• If using an electric space heater, ensure electrical cords and plugs are not frayed or damaged. Always plug the heater directly into the wall outlet, and be sure the power cord is not crossing a walkway. Never use extension cords or power strips, as these could overheat and lead to a fire.
• Space heaters should be turned off when the employee leaves the room or area of the heater and unplugged at the end of the day

How Can I Prepare My Business for Storms in Crestview?

10/3/2022 (Permalink)

We restore commercial storm damage in Okaloosa County.

Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley is a trusted leader in commercial storm damage restoration services. Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety to prepare for inclement weather by servicing your generator:

The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes (when professional assistance may be unavailable, power lines are down, and access roads are blocked). Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage. 

Permanent

• Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.  
• Run the unit weekly on its maintenance plan to ensure it is properly functioning in case of an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.  
• Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function properly.  

Portable 

• Store in a dry location
• Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit

Soot and Smoke-Damaged Commercial Business in DeFuniak Springs?

4/25/2022 (Permalink)

We restore commercial fire damage in Okaloosa County 24-hours a day.

Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley uses a variety of methods to remove smoke odor and residue from commercial buildings.

Air Scrubber or Filter

• Heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator

• An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging

• Thermal fogging is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator

• A hydroxyl generator is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification

• Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor

How Long Should Property Owners Wait For Floodwater To Dry Up Before Starting Flood Damage Restoration In Crestview?

5/14/2021 (Permalink)

Was your home recently affected by flood damage? Contact team SERVPRO for effective water removal and drying services.

Contact Certified Restorers Like SERVPRO Immediately to Help With Flood Damage Restoration in Your Crestview Business

When flood water gets into your business, it can cause significant damage within 24 hours. Mold growth may occur, your wooden floor may begin warping, and odors may linger in the property. It is vital to involve SERVPRO professionals immediately to restore your business.

The dangers of trapped moisture

The damage caused by floodwater is painfully obvious and motivates most business owners to handle commercial flood damage restoration in Crestview. However, without proper skills and the right equipment and tools, the business owners end up with severe damages.

The moisture left behind creates risks such as:

• Poor structural integrity: Pillars may begin to rot leading to a weak structure.
• Mold growth: Mold produces toxic spores that can cause health effects to your employees and customers. Our technicians treat areas with mold using unique but approved products. We can use vanquish, a disinfectant that destroys 99 percent of microorganisms it gets into contact with.
• Economic loss: Some insurance companies do not cover water damage caused by flooding, leading to a financial burden on business owners. 

How do technicians dry an affected property?

Depending on the magnitude of flood damage, SERVPRO technicians can use an indirect fired furnace, the building airspace. The equipment uses a heat exchanger. It takes dry outdoor air and heats it before introducing it into the drying zone. The machine takes the evaporated water from wet materials, increasing the humidity ratio of the air.

Flood damage should not affect your daily business. Contact SERVPRO of Crestview, Defuniak Springs, and Chipley at (850) 267-0746 for efficient restoration services “Like it never even happened.”

Commercial Water Damage Crestview-Area – Adjusting Equipment Based on Results

9/30/2019 (Permalink)

We know what works when it comes to water damage.

SERVPRO knows best for water damage in Crestview

Hurricanes and tropical storms routinely cause water damage to commercial buildings in the area. Owners must deal with service outages, make temporary arrangements to store products and equipment while their buildings are being restored. Many owners have emergency plans that are ready to kick in if their property experiences water damage. Commercial owners and tenants also depend on restoration companies to restore their building space as quickly as possible.

SERVPRO has lots of experience with commercial water damage events in Crestview, Defuniak Springs, and Chipley. Our team is well aware of the damage that can be caused and also how important it is to help owners re-establish their business. Our technicians are trained to utilize water sensors and meters to calculate the most effective amount of equipment needed to remove moisture from your building.

Regular Moisture Measurements 

Our crew chief arranges for air movers and dehumidifiers based on initial moisture measurements, the square footage of building space with water damage and the natural airflow between rooms. With the right number of air movers and dehumidifiers in place, moisture levels in carpets and walls should fall quickly. Humidity levels within the commercial space should also begin dropping.

Adjustments to the initial installation may be required. Pockets of water inside walls, more water in structures than initially estimated, poor air circulation between rooms, are assessed. In some situations, one large dehumidifier may be sufficient working in tandem with the buildings air conditioning system.

Commercial spaces with multiple rooms or partitions separating areas may benefit from strategically placing several dehumidifiers. These are coupled with air movers in the space and dry the room and structure more effectively. SERVPRO team members use their extensive knowledge and experience to make adjustments as needed to restore your commercial space as quickly as possible.

We also are licensed (Contractor License #: Mold Remediation: MRSR309, MRSR377). We have a Florida licensed building contractor as part of our team to provide restoration services for full structural damage repair and rebuild. "Like it never even happened."

We Help You Get Back To Business In Miramar Beach After A Flood

8/26/2019 (Permalink)

The transitional photo shows how our technicians use "flood cuts" to minimize storm damage to drywall and framing.

Prepare for Commercial Flood Damage in Miramar Beach

Although the Miramar Beach area was spared the devastation some nearby communities suffered during Hurricane Michael in 2018, the quickly approaching anniversary reminds local business owners to take precautions. If you operate or manage a shop, restaurant, condo complex, or hotel in the area consider partnering with our team to develop an Emergency Ready Plan and Profile (ERP) in anticipation of another hurricane or any disaster leading to flooding damage.

Exposure to Business Ending Conditions Is Possible

Nearly half of the businesses without a disaster plan risk permanent closure when they experience a crisis like flood damage in Miramar Beach.  It is a glorious location, but it lies exposed to the Gulf and any storm activity. Flooding from torrential rains and storm surge is never out of the question. 

No-Obligation Assessment of Your Commercial Property 

Rather than hoping storms continue to miss our neighborhood be proactive and schedule a walkthrough of your premises by a seasoned SERVPRO manager. We create a digital file, concise and directive, that helps our crews respond fast and effectively if your commercial property experience flood damage. The layout of your space, including crucial information like utility shutoffs and document and equipment storage, is recorded. Our manager also spends time talking with you or key employees to gain a good understanding of how your business operates. 

Commonsense Recommendations that Minimize Your Flood Loss Exposure

After the visit, SERVPRO shares suggestions designed to help you avoid irreparable harm during a flooding event. Examples might be adjusting storage locations, elevating equipment, and creating alternative ways to reach out to customers and the public if your building sustains damage. 

Follow the Prompts on ERP App

Complete your Emergency Ready Profile. You help SERVPRO assist you by clarifying we are your preferred restoration contractor. Add details like contact information for the vendors and contractors who developed your systems or installed hardware or equipment. In case you are unavailable during a flooding event, designate one or more individuals to act on your behalf.

Partner with SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties, creating an individualized ERP in case of flood damage or another disaster. Call us at (850) 267-0746 to set up the initial assessment.

The Commercial Water Damage Remediation Mystery Can Solved in Santa Rosa Beach

7/31/2019 (Permalink)

Don't let water damage take over your Santa Rosa home. Call the professionals at SERVPRO for remediation assistance.

Commercial Water Damage in Santa Rosa Beach Bagel Shop Gets Fast Help

When you have a commercial property, there are many expenditures made to protect it. Insurance, security cameras, and in some cases, sensors all help protect the golden egg: your business. 

The owner of a bagel shop contacted SERVPRO to clean up commercial water damage to her Santa Rosa Beach property. A pipe broke in the prep area for making bagels, and the motion detectors picked up the moving water.  

The owner turned off the water before our technicians arrived on site and she tried to get rid of as much of the water as she could. However, because the pipe leaked for at least a couple of hours before the discovery, copious amounts of water affected the work area. 

While a group of SERVPRO technicians scoped the area with our moisture detection equipment, another group moved out the tables and items in the prep area that had restoration potential. Heavy bags of flour were saturated and required disposal. However, the shop owner moved numerous things that were stored in sealed, food-grade plastic containers to a dry area to limit the loss to her supplies. 

The seal on the floor was intact, and no delamination of the tile occurred. The subflooring showed no excessive moisture when we scoped it, and we checked behind the baseboards and found they needed removal, so thorough drying happened within the wall cavity. Because of the solid hardwood construction of the baseboards, we were able to clean and sanitize them for reuse. 

After complete extraction and drying, a water loss area must return to hygienic standards for food preparation. Our technicians sanitized the outside of the containers before they were brought back into the prep area and SERVPRO team members wiped down all surfaces with our antimicrobial and antibacterial cleaners to ensure we leave the room at the highest sanitary standards. Our location has certification for mold remediation, and we know the signs and the conditions that make mold growth favorable after a water loss incident and how to avoid that scenario. 

Contact SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes and Washington Counties at (850) 267-0746 to get help with the cleanup and mitigation of commercial water damage to make it "Like it never even happened."

What You Can Do When Your Beauty Boutique Suffers Fire Damage

We then focus on cleaning any flooring including all of the carpet. If any upholstered items got wet, then we can use our carpet cleaning equipment to clean the fabric on the item. If mildew-like aromas still exist after the thorough cleaning, we can take further steps to deodorize your building.

Equipment like ultra-low volume foggers can get utilized to dispense pairing and masking agents that help both neutralize and cover up the foul odors. These foggers break the chemicals down into tiny particles that can penetrate deep into porous materials. Should you ever have a water leak occur inside your furniture store, call SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties at (850) 267-0746 any day of the week.

Use Our Expertise to Finally Get Control of the Mold and Moisture Situation in Your Gym

11/28/2018 (Permalink)

When the locker room still smells musty even after it has been cleaned or you see patches of mold, it is time to contact SERVPRO for remediation.

Finding Commercial Mold Damage in Your Santa Rosa Beach Gym Requires Professional Remediation

While cleaning your gym's locker and shower facilities in Santa Rosa Beach is a regular occurrence, discovering substantial amounts of microbial growth should raise concerns. Small amounts are quite reasonable and easily removed. A long weekend of closure and an absence of cleaning during a holiday does not mean that microbes also enjoyed a vacation.
 
Gyms and other locations where showering takes place, including private pools, can experience substantial problems with commercial mold damage in Santa Rosa Beach. SERVPRO technicians know highly effective methods in which to get this situation back under control. Returning the microbial population to a healthy state takes specialized equipment.
 
Sandblasting is effective at removing rust from corroded metal pieces, and we use a similar technique to remove mold. Dry ice pellets work in two ways to rid an area of mold growth. It is extremely cold and freezes the mold particles and their spores on contact, killing the mold and rendering the spores unable to spread. The impact of the dry ice pellets also removes the mold from the surfaces we work on during the remediation. Once removed, we vacuum them up with HEPA filtered vacuums. These contain the mold and the spores, keeping them safely away from uncontaminated areas of your facility.
 
Mold can grow almost anywhere, including painted concrete. We treat the same areas that experienced mold damage with select microbial inhibitors, specially chosen for their effectiveness and safety. We can explain to you or your employees about different cleansers that effectively help to prevent mold from reappearing.
 
Because mold needs moisture to grow, shower rooms often succumb to mold damage. Keeping it under control requires regular cleaning. If needed, we can treat the area on a schedule that works for you. Preventing mold growth is often much less costly than remediation of mold damage. We can discuss options that help prevent its recurrence.
 
SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties provides professional mold damage remediation services to all types of businesses in Sandestin, Watercolor, and Seagrove. We are experienced in working alongside our customers' employees, as well as around their clients. Call us for skilled remediation services at (850) 267-0746, day or night, year round.

Your Santa Rosa Beach Business Can Run Smoothly After a Commercial Water Damage Experience

9/13/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Has the Capacity for Water Loss Mitigation in Commercial and Investment Properties in the Santa Rosa Beach rea

Water Removal is Key to Mitigating Damages to Santa Rosa Beach Buildings 

You can lose revenue and customers when your business experiences commercial water damage. If the situation is the result of a broken plumbing system or a leaking roof, you need to act immediately to prevent further loss and damage. The goal is to minimize business interruption and get your customers, employees, and the entire business as a whole to its preloss operations. We advise you to work with professionals who have the expertise, equipment, and labor to handle such incidents in Santa Rosa Beach.

The use of specialized equipment is necessary during commercial water damage restoration in Santa Rosa Beach. Our SERVPRO technicians have the experience and skills to operate such equipment correctly. Not all situations are the same, so we have to conduct an assessment that enables us to select the most suitable tools for the job. Some of the devices we use during the restoration include carpet tools, dehumidification equipment, safety equipment, detection instruments, and water extraction equipment.
 
Extraction is among the initial steps that our SERVPRO technicians perform when removing water from the structure. To pump water from the floors, clean your upholstery and carpets, industry-leading equipment is utilized. These devices have a vacuum system, a pump, and a heater. During cleaning, all the three components have a role to play, but during mitigation, we only use the vacuum system. Also, the extractors can be portable or truck-mounted.
 
The aggressiveness or the force we use to extract the moisture counts a lot. For instance, if we use too much power when removing water from a wet carpet, delamination is likely to occur. If your office has glue-down carpeting, our SERVPRO technicians prefer using a wand during the extraction process. On the other hand, we use heavier devices when squeezing moisture out of heavy carpeting. We can use rider-type mobile vacuum systems for compressing and suctioning out residual water from the fibers. It is illegal to dump the wastewater at the front lawn, so we follow the state and local regulations when doing the job.
 
SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties can handle your cleaning and restoration needs after a water, storm, mold, or fire damage event. Call us at (850) 267-0746 and allow our experienced team to get your business operating smoothly again.

Commercial Water Removal For Santa Rosa Beach Businesses

4/3/2018 (Permalink)

Commercial water removal is as important for a beauty salon or a day spa as it is to any other business.

Commercial Water Removal

Santa Rosa Beach businesses have, for the most part, recovered from last year’s storms. The more common, mundane forms of flooding still happen all over our community, however. Pipes rupture, sinks break and toilets overflow just like they always have at places like spas and salons.

A beauty salon or a day spa may not rebuild Santa Rosa Beach, but each one is valuable to its customers and employees. Commercial water removal is as important for them as it is to any other business. SERVPRO understands the need to reopen the doors so people can rest and recuperate as well as get back to work.

Most of the leaks in a commercial flood usually come from an ordinary source that bursts overnight and the owner comes in to find a mess. If it is a minor fix, like a backed-up toilet, we can often repair it. For major repairs, our technicians turn off the water main and leave the fix to a general contractor.

In many of these businesses, the floors are either bare or covered with a thin, tough carpet with no pad underneath. That makes water removal simpler for us. We start with a series of pumps if the water is more than a couple of inches deep. Once we bring the level down to a thin layer just above the surface, we switch to water extraction wands.

The wands quickly draw the layer of water off the floor and out of the carpets; many also have a heating element built into them. This option allows us to carefully begin drying the carpets without damaging the layers or causing air pockets to form underneath the carpet by loosening the glue holding it in place.

SERVPRO technicians then examine the walls for damage. If we removed the water quickly enough, most of the drywall panels making up the walls could be carefully dried using a combination of air movers to force warm, dry air over their surface and fans to circulate the damp air and draw it outside.

If you are dealing with a flood in your business, call SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties at (850) 267-0746 today. We can help you remove the water and reopen your doors to your customers as fast and safely as possible.

Remediating Commercial Water Damage in Santa Rosa Beach

1/22/2018 (Permalink)

Donated inventory must stay dry to reach the hands of people who need the items. Should your charity shop suffer water damage, contact SERVPRO.

SERVPRO Technicians Respond Quickly to Help Restore Your Water Damaged Items

After so much damage from the weather, Santa Rosa Beach business owners forget that the majority of property loss from water comes from much more common sources. Broken pipes are year-round and result in more repair and restoration costs than a hurricane.
 
Santa Rosa Beach commercial water damage does not only affect area businesses looking to make a profit. Charity shops and donation centers need to be open to raise needed funds and provide services. SERVPRO knows every disaster needs a quick response, especially for those agencies helping residents still rebuilding from last year.
 
Our response teams can turn off the water and stop the source of the leak if the owner has not already done it. Several team members determine if we can fix the problem. We do not have licensed plumbers, but minor breakdowns we can try to repair. The rest of the team begins the process of removing water from the structure, drying floors and walls, and drying out the donated property.
 
SERVPRO team members use pumps and extraction wands to draw water off the floors. After we remove it, specialists open the doors and push out any remaining moisture out of the structure with long-handled squeegees.
 
Now, we can set up dehumidifiers. These devices draw moisture from the air, soaked building material like drywall, and donated inventory items. Each one can remove up to 25 gallons of water each day. To augment the effectiveness of the dehumidifiers, we can set up axial fans to create negative pressure and force the damp, inside air out of the structure.
 
We maintain drying racks at our offices for large items like curtains, but we can also use them to hang inventory, so the items have more space between them and dry faster. To speed up this process, we can bring in air movers to circulate warm, dry air across the donated inventory.
 
Our goal is to help every business reopen quickly to support our local communities rebuild and grow. If you need our services, call SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties today at (850) 267-0746. We are here for you.

Leaky Dental Equipment Requires Commercial Water Removal Services in Santa Rosa Beach

1/10/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO acts fast and works around our customers' needs and schedules, allowing you to stay on schedule.

Fast and Efficient Water Removal Services Equals Less Interruption

Caring for your dental patients in Santa Rosa Beach requires a clean and comfortable environment. It is much easier to help patients relax when your equipment functions correctly. A leak in a water line used for oral irrigation or a drain from a basin can pose severe problems to both the state of mind and to the cleanliness of your clinic.

When clinics of any kind in Santa Rosa Beach have problems with broken lines or drains, commercial water removal services help keep the current patient scheduling in place. Keeping your patients' services and care uninterrupted reduces the amount of frustration experienced by your staff and the patients involved.

Opening up in the morning, ready for a new day with patients, only to find that a water line that burst in the middle of the night can stress out even the most experienced dentist staff. However, SERVPRO can help with such matters and bring everything back under control, “Like it never even happened.”

As we extract the pooled water, or small flood, from your floors, we also engage small meters that detect the presence of water. Increased humidity in your clinic can allow microbial populations to explode dramatically, creating increased risk to your patients. We must remove this humidity, also, so we ensure that walls and floors hold no water or excess moisture.

Drying out the area affected by the faulty water line or drain calls for the use of dehumidifiers, air movers, and heating units. We try to keep from disturbing your current patients as much as possible. We always work around our customers' needs and schedules, meaning a strong possibility of keeping current appointments as scheduled for your patients.

Because we always clean up after ourselves, when we leave your premises at the end of a water removal job, your clinic's operations can continue without any further interruption or need to pick up after our crew. SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties hires people who live in our area, meaning we are your neighbors. Each local business is crucial to our economy, and we treat them accordingly. Call us at (850) 267-0746 for the latest in restoration technology. We provide services every hour of every day, year-round.

Flooding Often Requires Water Removal Services for a Santa Rosa Beach Warehouse

12/14/2017 (Permalink)

SERVPRO is prepared to remove water and restore your warehouse from flood damage 24/7, 365 days a year.

Call SERVPRO Immediately after Flood Damage to Minimize the Effects on Your Commercial Space

Floods can occur almost anywhere given the right conditions. When excessive rainfall in the area causes creeks and rivers to rise, or that rainfall is falling on the thoroughly saturated ground, your business could be at risk for flooding damages. When your Santa Rosa Beach warehouse falls victim to flooding conditions, it can be challenging to get a grasp on the full scope of the damages.

The trouble with keeping your warehouse free from this threat is that there are so many points of entry for rising waters to access the facility. With bay doors and man doors throughout the structure, keeping the water out can be an impossible feat. When the water has reached the inside of the building, it does not take long to reach areas to cause costly damage. This circumstance requires professional water removal services for your Santa Rosa Beach building.

Fortunately, our SERVPRO professionals can act quickly when you call to begin fighting the rising waters of your building and removing it entirely. While it might not be feasible to restore the damage that the flooding might have caused to some of the equipment or inventory stored within the warehouse, our team can assure that with the appropriate measures that we take through our water removal and restoration process, we can mitigate further losses for your company.

Our efforts start with preventing further water from getting into the building and removing the source of the problem. From this point, our SERVPRO technicians bring in truck-mounted pumps from our fleet to quickly remove the present pooling water in the facility. This process will very efficiently eliminate most of the water, which gives our team a better look at the restoration efforts that are required to correct the damages fully.

Thoroughly drying the area prevents moisture from lingering in the air, which significantly reduces the possibility of mold from growing. The threat of mold is a common problem that results from just removing the visible pooled water instead of entirely drying out the affected area.

Our team is prepared to handle any water removal emergency that requires our assistance. If you ever find yourself in need of professional restoration services for your warehouse, give SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes and Washington Counties a call. We are available anytime at (850) 267-0746.

Commercial Water Removal Can Prevent Closure Of Freeport Restaurants

11/26/2017 (Permalink)

Freeport Restaurants often find that one of the essential steps to reopening includes commercial water removal.

Commercial Water Removal

Freeport businesses often worry about their financial health after a severe hurricane season. How quickly restaurants recover in an area can indicate how well an area does overall after such a disastrous event. Also, those restaurants that can return to serving the public quickly can also benefit from restoration of their profits at an earlier date than what other restaurants might experience.

Freeport Restaurants often find that one of the essential steps to reopening includes commercial water removal. Without this crucial step, restaurants might experience only partial success in their overall restoration efforts. The materials remain saturated and allow mold and other problematic situations to develop. Repairs based on damp materials become more likely to fail than those carried out in a dry environment.

SERVPRO keeps the equipment needed for all sizes of disaster ready for immediate action. We are Faster To Any Sized Disaster, so your building's state does not become worse. Our technicians use hand-held monitoring devices, portable suction equipment, massive pumps, and many other items, as well, to remove water and moisture from restaurants.

Water seeps into the tiniest cracks and then spreads as far as possible. When areas become warmer, this water can evaporate and move to other unaffected areas. Because heat works so well in evaporating water, we use it to help us remove water and moisture from buildings such as your restaurant.

Heat on floors and near walls can lift moisture hiding in those surfaces up and away from them, into the air. Air directed with the use of air movers moves that increased humidity where we want it – either outside or into dehumidifiers or desiccant machines. We remove this water and keep it from reintroducing itself to your building.

SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington Counties wants to restore your building's dry state so complete restoration work has a high success rate. Call us at (850) 267-0746 for our 24-hour services, every day of the year.

Prevent Water Damage in Your Santa Rosa Beach Business

Don't let a broken hose on your restaurant's dishwasher close your business. Call SERVPRO for a thorough inspection to prevent disasters.

SERVPRO Can BOTH Inspect Your Property For Water Damage Prevention as Well as Remediate Damage After a Disaster

You want to avoid water damage in your restaurant, simply because cleanup can slow or even shut down operations. However, there are a variety of steps you can take to limit exposure and prevent water damage from causing your restaurant to take a rather significant hit.
 
Throughout the Santa Rosa Beach area, commercial water damage has some usual suspects. Discovering where water might come from, helps prevent damage in the workplace and helps you maintain a quality working environment for your employees.
 
At SERVPRO we answer calls all of the time concerning broken appliances, pipes and drains, or roofing issues causing damage to many restaurants just like yours. Make an effort to inspect and maintain these areas properly, and you have a better chance of limiting the damages you suffer during an event.
 
Dishwashers work overtime during prime hours and expose you to water hazards when leaks or malfunctions become a problem. It is easy for hundreds of gallons of water to escape during incidents if no one performs proper maintenance.
 
SERVPRO technicians can inspect your equipment and search for water leaks throughout your property. We have infrared water detectors to help locate hidden pockets of moisture and get to broken pipes or drains under control before they cause major issues.  
 
SERVPRO can help you learn which areas you should be concerned about, giving you the knowledge needed to perform visual checks on your own. Any machine or appliance with a water supply line such as ice makers, dishwashers, or other appliances usually produces problems over time.
 
However, we also respond to a variety of roofing issues after particularly harsh weather. Damage to your roof allows water to enter unprotected areas of your building, producing damage and often leading to mold issues forming in areas that you cannot see.  
 
Scheduling a full inspection of your property gives you a place to start. Even if you do not have any current problems, having a relationship formed with a local restoration company can mean the difference between getting the help you need or permanently closing your restaurant's doors.  
 
Contact SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washinton Counties today for additional information about available services and to take advantage of our expertly trained technicians with years of experience. (850) 267-0746

SERVPRO's ERP In Commercial Water Damage Scenarios for Bonifay

12/6/2016 (Permalink)

The ERP Mobile App from SERVPRO Mitigates Commercial Water Damage Your Bonifay Enterprise

Be Ready in Case of a Water Damaging Event to Your Business

As America has increasingly become reliant on digital resources for everything from clothes-shopping to restaurant evaluation, so to has SERVPRO modernized since its humble beginnings in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Our latest innovation comes in the form of the ERP or Emergency Ready Profile. This system is designed to aggregate relevant information for future use, and when disaster strikes, quickly transfer it to our technicians. The program keeps assigned profiles for separate locations, allowing you to manage multiple buildings or businesses easily. One of its most common uses is for water damage, where floor plans, contact information, shutoff valves, and many other factors come into play that can easily be imputed within a profile.
 
Shutoff and Control Valves
In Bonifay commercial water damage where the water originates from a pipe or main, knowing the locations of and quickly accessing water shutoff and control valves is a vital step in preventing further damage from occurring and reducing the time taken for extraction. Normally, our technicians must search for these valves on-site or find a building plan. With the ERP, they can have access to these schemes and locations before they even arrive, saving time and cutting off damage at its source. In addition to valves, water pipes, fire sprinkler systems, and mains may present problems, and having plans uploaded to the ERP helps our technicians to identify their locations quickly.
 
Contact Information
The ERP also helps to aggregate contact numbers and information, whether for emergency services, insurance representatives, tenants, or any other relevant individuals or companies. When you need it most, this vital information will be quickly available to both you and SERVPRO, accessible from any device at any time.
 
Floor Plans
Heavily damaged buildings can prove difficult to navigate, especially in floods where furniture and objects have been knocked into pathways. By uploading blueprints or floor plans, you allow our technicians to see full technical drawings and details of the building, facilitating easy navigation and better planning.
 
SERVPRO of N. Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes & Washington helps local businesses to overcome severe damage with quality service and fast response times. For more information about the ERP or our help, call us at (850) 267-0746.
