Within four hours of a loss notification (and usually much earlier), SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin & Perry Counties will be on-site to help ensure a fire damage is handled properly by utilizing the following services:

Structural Cleaning

After a smoke or fire damage, ceilings, walls, woodwork, carpeting, and floors will often need a thorough cleaning. SERVPRO® will pretest to determine the extent of damage, then use the specific equipment and cleaning products required to clean and protect the different types of surfaces found within the structure.

Contents Cleaning

All the restorable contents in the affected areas will be professionally cleaned and deodorized. This includes area rugs, furniture, draperies, and upholstery. SERVPRO can provide wet or dry-cleaning services. Additionally, all other restorable contents will be cleaned and deodorized to preloss condition. This includes electronics, art, wood furniture, kitchen items, clothing, bedding, and much more. Finally, SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin & Perry Counties can provide an inventory list of all “to be claimed” items.

Deodorization

SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin & Perry Counties provides specialized services that rid your insured’s home or place of business of offensive odors left behind by fire or smoke damage. We do not merely cover up lingering odors with a fragrance; we seek out the sources of the odor and remove them.  

WATER DAMAGE

If you have recently become a victim of commercial water damage, you may be wondering what you can do to mitigate your damages. There is a critical period in which certain actions must be taken to preserve as much of your property as possible and to decrease any health risks when water damage has occurred in a commercial space.

Preparing a Space for Water Damage Restoration

Before you enter your commercial space or any flooded building, you will need to make sure the electrical power to the structure is shut off. You should also be aware that during a flooding event, small animals or reptiles tend to seek shelter inside of buildings. Be prepared to deal with the discovery of wild animals in your space.

Protect yourself from entering any flooded building by wearing an organic vapor respirator. You can purchase these at any local paint and building supply stores. You also want to have rubber gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection. The first thing you should do is ventilate the affected areas by opening the windows and placing fans where possible.

Unfortunately, there likely will be items that you need to throw away. Any items that are porous and have absorbed contaminated floodwater cannot be restored. If your commercial space has drywall, mattresses, pillows, box springs, particle board, carpets or carpet pads, these will need to be discarded if they have become saturated. However, there is good news: If you have clothing or household fabrics that can be machine-washed, you may be able to salvage them. Use your washing machine to clean these items with a 10-minute soak at the minimum in hot water with detergent. The soap and normal wash should remove most of the contamination and any staining that is present.

Be aware that your commercial space will need a thorough professional inspection, cleaning and possibly restructuring. Water damaged walls and installations must be removed and repaired, and pockets of saturation should be exposed for drying and sanitizing. Always remember that mold growth could take a few days to appear as it thrives in a moist environment with organic-type materials such as paper or particle board and in temperatures that range between 60 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep good airflow throughout the interior environment, and maintain moderate temperatures to decrease the risk of any mold growth. It is also important that you let your space dry out before any rebuilding occurs.

Commercial Fire in Benton, IL

6/3/2021 (Permalink)

A fire broke out in a Benton, IL business damaging part of the structure as well as taking on water from the fire department putting out the fire.  The business was in a total mess, from blackened walls, floors and ceiling and a layer of water that was more of a sludge from the debris on the floor. 

SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin and Perry Counties was the first call the owner made after the fire. Working closely with a Commercial Insurance Adjuster we scanned the building creating a full three-dimensional walk-thru to create a fully interactive layout of the structure.  From there the team started in and worked to firstly dry out the structure and began to work on demolition. Setting equipment was essential to begin removing the smoke and soot damage to the structure as well as full cleaning on walls and ceiling where smoke damage wasn’t as heavy. 

Once the structure was complete and smoke odors were removed, our construction division took over, working hand in hand with the business owner making the fixes necessary to make the building like new again and ready for business. 

Though it sounds simple a lot of hard work was done to help get this business back up and running as quickly as possible without giving up any quality to ensure it was done right the first time.  For more information on our commercial services call us today at 618-435-8200.

One of our most recent calls for our commercial and business friends was a local community college that faced an emergency smoke and soot remediation.  With so much square footage affected it was essential to have all areas third party tested to ensure what areas needed cleaned. With over 150,000 square feet of office space affected in high traffic areas the university put their trust in the company best suited to handle such a large loss. 

Smoke and soot damage was spread throughout the campus through the HVAC unit running during the event. Ensuring every square foot of the building was thoroughly wiped down as well as vacuumed and making sure the air was filtered through specialty equipment.

Commercial Emergency Ready Profile

1/14/2021 (Permalink)

Having spent most of my life dedicated to business operations I realize how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day aspect of keeping it running. 

One thing that I constantly find is that most businesses do not have a plan in place of an emergency.  Most businesses don't train staff on what things to do to potentially save a business in face of an accident or disaster.  

The importance of showing staff where the shut off for water is located in case of a water break can save your business considerable time and money. 

SERVPRO has a free solution for our local businesses under our Emergency Ready Program or ERP. This includes a interactive App that pinpoints areas of interest including shut offs as well as emergency contacts to ensure your business is ready for whatever happens.  Also we are including a free Matterport scan of your business that gives you a full virtual walkthrough of your business . It helps to serve as a way to have a full visual inventory of your business as well as a way to map out points of interest.

Our ERP and Matterport scan for our local businesses is FREE! Call Gary today and schedule a time to have this setup for your business at 618-435-8200. 

What is an ERP?

12/9/2019 (Permalink)

Most companies prepare for the unexpected, hence the reason most have insurance policies in place. However an insurance policy typically only comes into play after a loss has occurred. Which begs the questions, how can we be proactive in our approach?

Larger companies have develop contingency plans that upper management is aware of in the event of disaster. At SERVPRO, we work with our commercial accounts to create an Emergency Readiness Profile that even the least experienced employee can follow.

Our Emergency Readiness Profile is a tool created to more properly identify best practices to mitigating losses. Additionally it allows our crews to arrive more quickly on site; research has shown the quicker trained professionals arrive on site the less damage that your building and property will sustain.

To have your team properly prepared via an ERP, please contact our Sales Department!

Safety First 

Studies show that cooking is the main cause for most home fires and burn related injuries. With Thanksgiving being the busiest cooking day of the year.  It's good to know some safety tips to have a safe, and happy Thanksgiving holiday.  

• Never leave food that is cooking unattended, especially when frying or broiling food. The stove should be turned off if you must leave the kitchen
• Keep anything that could easily catch fire a safe distance away from flames, or hot surfaces. Examples such as; potholders,towels of any material, paper or plastic bags, and wooden utensils.
• Cooking surfaces should be kept clean to prevent grease buildup.
• Always make sure to check the kitchen before leaving the home or going to bed.  Check to see that all ovens, stoves and appliances are shut off and stored correctly. 
• Have a fire extinguisher near by, and know how to properly use it if needed. Also smoke alarms should be checked monthly to see if properly functioning.
