The Importance of Fast Commercial Mold Remediation Services in Orland Park?
10/22/2024 (Permalink)
Businesses rely on us to restore mold damage in Cook County.
Our local Orland Park team is trained and certified to restore mold outbreaks in commercial properties. Mold damage can wreak havoc on commercial properties, leading to structural deterioration and long-term problems if left untreated. When mold infiltrates a building, it can spread rapidly through ventilation systems, carpeting, and drywall, creating extensive damage in a short period of time. Commercial property owners must act swiftly to prevent the situation from worsening.
Mold thrives in damp environments. Often, microscopic mold spores become visible after water damage or in areas with high humidity. Immediate action is crucial to stop mold from spreading further, which can increase the restoration costs and cause significant damage to your business. Professional mold remediation services can quickly assess the damage, locate hidden mold, and implement a restoration plan that minimizes downtime and protects your property.
Delaying mold remediation can lead to more extensive damage and increase the time needed for restoration. Businesses prioritizing rapid action can minimize disruptions to their operations and save money by preventing mold growth. Whether it's your office, retail space, or industrial building, don't wait to address mold damage—call our professionals to mitigate and restore your property “Like it never even happened.”

When Disaster Strikes Your Orland Park Commercial Business
5/27/2022 (Permalink)
Some commercial business owners treat property issues as part of doing business, but dealing with Palos Park flood damage can be sometimes problematic. Flood damage can destroy inventory, stock, supplies, office furniture, documents and electronic equipment as well as cause structural damage. Also, there could be potential health effects arising from contaminated water and possible mold contamination. SERVPRO suggests the following to help mitigate water damage to your business facility.
In many cases, flood damage results from the effects of a storm. There are several types of water damage that can result from storm surges. Some of them include:
• Building displacement or damage
• Mold growth in commercial properties within walls or HVAC systems
• Damage to coastal rail lines, highways, or roads resulting in less accessibility for transportation
• Loss of business, closed doors means lost commercial cash flow, less rent, and loss of customer traffic
How to Save on Flood Damage Restoration
Have a flood insurance program? By purchasing business interruption insurance, you can gain reimbursement for a claim and lessen the impact of no revenue stream and thus lower your total costs. SERVPRO is recognized as a preferred vendor by many insurance and management companies. We can help speed the process of water damage restoration. The best way to reduce or prevent damages generated by storm surges is to implement strategies before the onset of hurricane season. Here are some strategies you should implement:
• Build higher. If you own your commercial building, consider the value of finding the property's base flood elevation and building above it. Hire a structural engineer to offer a plan to reinforce your commercial property.
• Place valuables higher. If your building contains more than one floor, be sure to move valuable assets, technical equipment, and computers to the second floor.
• Invest in preventative installations. Be sure to install some back-flow valves in the property's sewer lines. These valves will prevent city sewage from flowing into your property in the event of a storm surge. Have available access to water surge barricading materials such as sandbags. Also, be sure to elevate electrical systems such as extension cords above the region's flood level. You can also utilize cinder blocks to raise your appliances and most valuable assets above anticipated flood levels.
• Select fast-drying material. Carpeting and wet drywall are susceptible to damage from mold. These porous-surfaced building materials normally require discarding after flooding due to contaminants and mold growth. Build or replace with stone products, tile and no cardboard backed gypsum materials.
To ensure your Palos Heights commercial property can withstand water damage resulting from floods be sure to implement the strategies outlined above. Post flooding, the most urgent action is to extract the standing water from the premises. Our company has the equipment, training, and expertise to dry out your building, repair material damage, clean, and sanitize your business. Our IICRC-certified professionals are skilled in thoroughly restoring your property to its previous safe, sanitary condition. "Like it never even happened." Let's get you open for business.

If you are a business owner, you may feel like you have a lot to lose if a fire were to occur in your business.
Many fires can be avoided if employees are trained properly on how to prevent them. According to OSHA if fire extinguishers are available, it is the business owner's responsibility to educate employees on how to properly use one. The training should be provided when the employee is initially hired and then once a year for a refresher.
Most fire extinguishers operate using the P.A.S.S. technique:
1. PULL the pin.
2. AIM low, at the base of the fire.
3. SQUEEZE the handle to activate.
4. SWEEP from side to side at the base of the fire until the fire is out.
If you experience a fire in your home or business call us today (708) 532-3377.

Call SERVPRO of Orland Park for assistance with your water damage.
Accidents happen all the time, but there are many instances in which they can be costly mistakes or take time to repair. Most churches are rarely used regularly throughout the week. Something as fundamental as forgetting to turn off the water in a faucet could have catastrophic results before someone returns a couple days later.
Mostly, churches have relied on the volunteer work of people to handle repairs or help clean up messes that might occur within the building. In situations involving substantial water damage to your church, you can easily see the need for professional action. SERVPRO has the tools and resources to quickly rectify the damages and get the area ready for use.
Our experienced and professional SERVPRO team can work quickly from the time that you call to assess the extent of the damage and put together a plan to restore the area. Communication is an active component of the process, helping you to both understand the restoration process as well as listening to your concerns. By working closely with your priorities and suggestions, our team operates efficiently to make the problem “Like it never even happened.”

When the main pipe breaks in your business, the investment you have made in inventory is at certain risk of severe water damage. The arrival of SERVPRO water mitigation specialists after that is your best bet, helping your and your staff sort out the mess.
Commercial water damage could be the end of your Orland Park business if we are not called out quickly to assist. Chances are that the business's square footage will not incur much damage, its walls and floors typically composed of cinder block or concrete. Using professional-strength pumps and extractors, our team will remove as much water as possible from the area and the furnishings. If your business is carpeted, we will assess whether that floor covering can be cleaned and dried. Padding often must be replaced, but carpets can be surprisingly resilient. If area rugs were on display, we may take some of them off-site to thoroughly dry them.
SERVPRO will work closely with you and your insurance company to determine what can be salvaged. Our staff has been educated in advanced upholstery drying, using air movers and dehumidifiers to complete the job. If anything just got wet during the flooding, the water damage may be reversible. It is crucial that the restoration efforts start immediately after the water damages, as mold can begin within 48 hours. Great care must be taken not to sell items that have the potential to harbor fungi or other hazardous substances.
SERVPRO of Orland Park is ready to assist if your business suffers water damage. We have the experience, equipment, and the expertise to get you back to “Like it never even happened.”

Ask The Experts: What about when disaster strikes my business?
5/2/2021 (Permalink)
For many small business owners, their small business is their livelihood. Any disaster that happens to hurt the company can be detrimental to the owner’s finances in a huge way. One of the most common issues that many business owners face is commercial fire damage. There are many ways in which fire can affect your business. However, there are steps that a company can take both before and after fire damage occurs to mitigate any damage that a fire may cause.
Fire Prevention
Although it seems obvious, being able to prevent fire damage from occurring is the best defense against fire. There are many things that a business can do to increase their first line against fire issues. First, always use the highest quality building materials possible. Many new building materials are much more fire resistant and can end up saving a lot of money. They may be more expensive to put in, but if a fire occurs, they can help save thousands of dollars in repairs. Also, if your facility has a lot of employees, be sure to have safety meetings and discuss the ways they can reduce the likelihood of a fire taking place. For example, a cigarette should be disposed of properly rather than just throwing it on the ground or in a trash can. These steps can go a long way in reducing the chances of a fire. However, at the end of the day even if a business takes the necessary precautions, a fire may still occur. It is important to have a good plan in place and a company that you trust to help clean up the fire damages.
Fire Damage
Some business owners may thing that fire damage is something that will easily be cleaned up. However, there are often several layers of issues that the small business owner faces in the aftermath. Flames in a fire can cause damage to the exterior and the interior of the building. Sometimes there may even be structural damage as well. The damage caused by fire and smoke are a significant issue. Many people may feel as though the smoke just smells bad but it can cause long term damage as well. It is important that you work with a quality experienced restoration company to restore the building that was damaged.

After a fire has been extinguished, assessment of the damage can begin. With fire damage also comes damage from smoke, soot, and the chemicals and water used by firefighters, as well as structural damage. Some of this structural damage is caused by firefighters as they put the fire out.
Beginning as soon as possible after such a catastrophic event can save time and money in the future. While repairs may take months to complete, waiting to begin can allow many situations to worsen, leading to even longer time periods for completion and increased damages overall.

We restore more than buildings – we also strive to keep other businesses in our area functional and capable of surviving the worst catastrophes.

The weather in the Chicago area can be very unpredictable. We can experience heavy rains in a short period of time causing the sewer systems to back up and streets to flood.
If you see there is a flash flood watch, this means that a flash flood is possible. A flash flood warning means that a flood is about to happen or already taking place. If a flash flood occurs, you should make sure everyone gets to higher ground as quickly as possible.
Your business can prepare for any potential disaster, including flash floods. Keep all essential equipment and documents elevated from the floor. Ideally, they should be stored on the second floor of the building or higher. Back-up electronic data daily to cloud storage or to an external drive so the files can still be accessed in the event of a disaster.
It is a good idea to have a battery-powered radio available on-site. In case of a power outage, you and your staff can keep updated on the current conditions.

Prepare Your Business For Flooding in Orland Park

The weather has been very unpredictable the past few weeks in our area. We have experience heavy rains in a short period of time causing the sewer systems to back up and streets to flood.
If you see there is a flash flood watch, this means that a flash flood is possible. A flash flood warning means that a flood is about to happen or already taking place. If a flash flood occurs, you should make sure everyone gets to higher ground as quickly as possible.
Your business can prepare for any potential disaster, including flash floods. Keep all essential equipment and documents elevated from the floor. Ideally, they should be stored on the second floor of the building or higher. Back-up electronic data daily to cloud storage or to an external drive so the files can still be accessed in the event of a disaster.
It is a good idea to have a battery-powered radio available on-site. In case of a power outage, you and your staff can keep updated on the current conditions. (FEMA) The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides a list of recommended supplies in the event of a disaster, such as a flashlight and first aid kit.
SERVPRO of Orland Park can help your business get back on track after flooding or other disasters. Call us today for more information or a free inspection (708) 239-1444
