Emergency Ready Plan

7/22/2022 (Permalink)

Emergency ready plan

Did you know that 50% of the companies that close due to a disaster never reopen again? The majority of the ones that reopen had a response plan but do you have yours? Our ERP (emergency-ready plan) app offers information on how to handle every situation, minimizing the damage and the time your business would be inoperative. This plan contains what to do, how to do it, who to call, and what to expect, as long as information on shut-off valve locations, insurance contact information, priority areas and contacts, and photos of each utility location as a visual aide for quick reference. Currently, 95% of these situations are internal or man-made as fire and flooding. Many buildings have emergency contingency plans (incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity). Still, they keep it in a folder and don't have the time to look at it during an emergency, but at SERVPRO of southwest Irving, we are " Ready for whatever happens."

Signs of water damage

7/19/2022 (Permalink)

You call us, we fix it.

Sometimes it is essential to inspect our properties, homes, offices, apartments, etc. 

Here are signs you should check if there's some water damage early on:

1. Changes in floors, walls, and ceilings regarding paint, color, or texture

Many homeowners don't notice the changes to structural elements. They are hard to spot in familiar surroundings, even if you are good at cleaning up and upkeep; when water damage is on the cards, you can observe dry walls or ceilings being flaky. This condition, if left unchecked, can become bloated; also, tiles made of ceramic material often develop mold and cracks in the grout when damaged by water for being a porous material.

2. Running water sounds

Water damage isn't always visible but makes noticeable sounds. For example, drips creaks in the floorboards, and the sound of constantly running water may signify that you need repairs. In addition, tiny bubbles can result in holes in your concrete foundation, threatening the entire home's structure.

3. Increasing water bills

A sudden surge in utility bills is an excellent indicator of water damage. Ensure to check the visible pipelines and faucets in the house for any leaks. If you fail to find leaks in the visual areas, consider the possibility of water damage within the walls. If you spot any water damage, call a plumber as soon as possible.

Contact us if you see any signs that could show some mold in your residency or commercial business.

A soggy situation

5/5/2020 (Permalink)

The after math of this water damage was tough, but not tough enough for our techs.

When this soggy situation happened at a local  clothing store, the management did not know what to do. Calling our SERVPRO of Garden Grove West Stanton team was the best thing they could have done. It turns out an old water pipe busted from the cold weather, creating a slow slab leak. When the store’s opening team opened their back storage room, they found their merchandise wet and damaged. They tried to mop the water up, but it was just too much.

When our techs arrived at the scene, they measured the water to be 2 inches throughout their 1500 square foot storage room. They immediately began to extract the category 2 water while other techs in the team searched for items that could be saved. Once the water was low enough, they plugged in air movers and got down to business. The air movers ran for 3 days and with the help of a few dehumidifiers, this retail store was back to normal in no time.   

This clothing store gave us a chance and did not regret it. If you give us a chance, you will not regret it either. Give our office a call at (714) 622-5096 and let us show you what we can do.   

Water Damage in a Boutique Store

4/28/2020 (Permalink)

Our technicians are IICRC certified to extract water just like the our technician is doing above.

Silver lake, California is usually the place to go for good food, people watching and shopping for unique pieces of clothing. Our team’s visit to Silver Lake was a very different experience. When we arrived at the trendy boutique we were called to, the small vintage store’s floor was submerged by water. The employees were trying their best to sweep the excess water with brooms, but there was just too much water.

We got to work immediately and began extracting the water with our extracting wands. After there was less water, our techs placed 8 air movers and a dehumidifier to help dry and remove any excess water that was still there. In 2 days, they were back in business and the owner was relieved that he made the call to SERVPRO of Garden Grove West.

Water damage can happen anywhere at any time-in even the trendiest places. If you need water damage help for your business, give us a call at (714) 660-0701 and set up an inspection with us today.        

Commercial vs. Residential Fire

4/25/2019 (Permalink)

Commercial Work

Commercial vs. Residential

There are three main reasons why we must approach commercial fires differently than residential fires.

Building construction: The average house has many compartments and at least some fire protection for the ceiling support members in the form of the drywall ceiling. In contrast, most modern commercial structures include lightweight open bar joist trusses that span a large, open area designed for retail or office use. Because commercial buildings lack the compartmented features of a house, the fire has the potential to grow much larger, much faster.

Consider this: In a 2,000-square-foot house with one or two involved rooms, the walls may limit fire spread to a few hundred square feet. In a 2,000-square-foot commercial building without such “compartments,” a small fire is more likely to grow at a much faster rate. Hence, buildings of the same overall size may produce vastly different sized fires. Add to this the open nature of many commercial roof assemblies, which are often unprotected from direct flame contact, and you get buildings that will fail faster than residential structures.

Hidden fire: The second major difference between residential and commercial structures is that moderate or large commercial structures can conceal a large fire without showing the classic indications of a working fire. One example: A fire in a 1,000-square-foot house will probably fill the house with a smoke layer that’s close to the floor. The same size fire in a 5,000-square-foot commercial structure may present with smoke only at the ceiling level. It’s the same amount of smoke; it’s simply dispersed over a larger area. We tend not to feel threatened by smoke that’s 12 feet above us; however, the roof assembly is directly exposed, increasing the potential for collapse.

This example shows why we cannot treat a commercial building the same way we treat a house. Moderate smoke showing from a 3,000-square-foot house may lead us to take an offensive approach. The same presentation from a commercial structure probably indicates a much larger and more dangerous fire. If we use the same offensive approach, we’re likely to get into serious trouble. Add to that the inherent difficulties in finding and attacking the fire in a large building, and you can see where the risk becomes compounded. It takes more personnel with longer, larger lines a greater amount of time to attack the fire. Plus, the bigger the fire and the longer it burns, the more likely it is to bring down the structure.

Access, egress & ventilation: The third significant difference between residential and commercial structures is the ease at which we can access, egress and ventilate the buildings. Doors in commercial buildings are grouped in a way that benefits the retailer in their effort to control the customer. They are typically located in a single area and are designed for easy egress only once you reach them. They are not evenly spaced around the structure. Have you ever been out the back door of a Wal-Mart? Although the exits are required to be large enough for the customer traffic, they were never intended to be spaced evenly enough for firefighting access or egress.

As for ventilation, even the most well staffed fire departments will find it a challenge to cut holes large enough or fast enough to keep up with the volume of smoke produced by a significant working fire in a commercial structure.
