"How fast can my Mesa business reopen after water damage occurs?"

SERVPRO Professionals Come Quickly and Have the Equipment and Techniques to Restore Mesa Houses to Their Pre-loss Condition

There are a number of factors that influence the outcome for a commercial structure and contents following water damage in Mesa. The kind of water within the structure is one of the most significant. After 48-hours, the water degrades to the point it requires handling as a category 2 or 3 which requires more extensive cleaning. The speed with which mitigation efforts were begun is also significant. Due to the potential of untrained water extractors to miss areas of water, it is vital to bring in a professional restoration services company with detection equipment to locate all areas of water migration.

What is the Fastest Way to Get Commercial Water Cleanup?

Finding out that your firm has water damage can be very frustrating! SERVPRO experts understand that you want to reopen as soon as possible, but they also place a value on safety. Water mitigation hazards include:

• Slip and fall incidents
• Contaminants in the water can be harmful.
• Water outlets or electronics are potential shock sources.

SERVPRO technicians frequently use yellow safety tape and, in the situation of contaminated water, plastic barriers over the damaged area to prevent individuals from aspirating or coming into contact with the water when only a portion of the structure is damaged.

Winning Tactics for Limiting Damage to a Professional Space

There are several documents that need to be secured when a business invests in equipment. If these items are not removed before the arrival of the technicians on-site, all you have to do is inform the SERVPRO Crew Chief. That person will make certain that anything required receives top priority.

Computers, routers, switches, and servers are particularly susceptible to high humidity. These components should never be tested on-site. If there are any questions about the functioning capability of any equipment, the technicians may request an industry expert to check and test it to assure that it is safe for reusability.

Elements of an Organized Pack-Out

During water mitigation operations, it's possible to work around desks, chairs, and cubicles. The procedure may be sped up if the things are taken away and stored at a secure location utilized by SERVPRO. The Content removal process goes like this: 

• Each item is photographed and its exact location noted.
• Anything that needs cleaning or drying is moved to a cleaning station first.
• The final storage place is recorded.
• Everything from the tiniest thing to the biggest piece is returned to its original spot after mitigation procedures.

What Are Some Common Issues During Commercial Water Damage Cleanup?

The flooring takes the majority of the abuse after a pipe burst or there is a bathroom backup. The delamination process begins swiftly in offices with glue-down carpets or tile. While these materials are being examined for their potential recyclability thorough cleaning and drying, they generally need to be disposed of. Most permeable materials have no repair possibilities due to the tainted nature of wastewater in cases where sewage is involved.

Concrete is a porous material that necessitates special drying treatments to remove trapped water from it. Efflorescence, which is formed by the salts and minerals that rise to the top, may remain on top; however, it can be readily removed.

After commercial water damage, the walls and baseboards in your home require significant care. While baseboards may typically be taken out, dried, and reinstalled, sheetrock is a different story. It wicks water rapidly upwards and bends or bows quickly after being exposed to water. After the above procedure, technicians measure several inches above the highest mark and cleanly shear off the damaged area. This makes replacement of a new sheetrock panel and subsequent sealing with a joint compound and sanded smooth. There are no indications of controlled demolition after repainting.

The final problem in most water damage situations is the stench. No one wants to visit a business or work in an area that smells musty. SERVPRO's specialized technicians have odor-eliminating technologies at the molecular level available.

We had a fire in one of our rental units in Mesa. They came out to the property within about an hour from the time we called. Their work was done very well and quicker than the quotes we got from some other restoration companies we called. They are the best as far as I am concerned. They helped us deal with the insurance company, who was a nightmare to deal with. Very happy. I would highly recommend them.

Douglas Bost

We have used quite a few companies for our water issues for our rental units. These guys are the best water damage companies we have used. No questions asked. Levi and Adam and the other guys who come with them are always very professional and respectful of our renters. (That gets pretty tricky sometimes because we have some awfully odd people renting from us. I hope they don’t see this…)They are fast getting to the job and they try to dry as much in place as possible so we don’t end up having huge reconstruction bills. You need to try using these guys, we use them for everything.

So, we had a flood in our office because of the business next door. We were out of commission for about a month and just when we were about to get back to work covid hit. OMH. I appreciated the fact that they worked so hard to get us back to work quickly. So, about a week after everything get shut down I get a call from their marketing dept. I thought that was odd. They said they wanted to help us out with our google maps listing and some other online things to keep us busy while we weren't able to actually work with customers. Brian and Kevin did a zoom call with us to show us how we were using our google listing wrong and what we could do to fix it and how to manage it in the future. They showed us some other things to help us out online and with our social media as well. But, like, they are a restoration company and they are calling to help us out with our marketing because of everything going on. Talk about going the extra mile. That meant a lot to us and it helped us out a lot. They really know what they are doing too. absolutely fantastic.

We had a disastrous tub overflow at our home while it was being rented. Our notice was " guest say water coming out of ceiling" We are out of the country so I googled and found SERVPRO mesa I spoke with Bridget and explained the problem and that I was out of the country she went into action. They were at our home within the hour. Our representative met them at our home, they set up and began the clean up process. When that was completed and drying was to their approved rate we spoke with Paul and Adam who gave us a competitive quote. Keep in mind we received quotes from 5 different contractors. We choose SERVPRO to do the restoration work and could not have made a better choice. We just got pictures of the completed job and WOW you can not tell that work was ever done. No Patch marks, paint was a perfect match we could not be happier and all was done from 4000 miles away. Thank you so much to all the SERVPRO team in east mesa Bridget, Paul, Adam, Adam, and Ivy You guys rock! I might also mention although it is a National name they are a family owned Franchise. To put it in short If you have the need Call them it will be the best call you make. Thank you again Charles and Kessley Bronson Mesa Az

Tips for Keeping Your Mesa, AZ Commercial Property Clean

7/8/2021 (Permalink)

US Bank Building at Main Street and Macdonald in historic downtown Mesa, Arizona

Spring & Summer time is the perfect opportunity for deep cleaning, as it's often overlooked during other times of year.  Although spring-cleaning has traditionally been associated with residential homes, commercial places also need to deal with bacteria and messes that grow throughout winter months when people are cooped up inside due to cold weather outside. A good clean will help make your workplace more open; additionally a welcoming environment encourages customers who may want to visit! Below you'll find some areas in every building worth inspecting:

ON THE OUTSIDE

Window Cleaning

Windows are one of the simplest yet crucial areas to keep clean. Beyond making sure you have squeaky clean windows, check to make sure they have tight seals so that cool air doesn't seep out and warm air in winter months can stay inside as well preventing water collecting on the outside surfaces where it could trickle through small gaps into your home. Checking caulking and weather stripping remains intact ensures money is saved for future repairs or replacements!

This may sound like a drag but keeping up with window maintenance will save time (and energy) down the road because leaks from within can be prevented before disaster strikes if any issues arise when checking these components now.

Landscape Upkeep and Upgrades

Landscape planning is crucial to the success of your business.  Now that it's spring, now is a great time for you or someone else to make sure all the weeds are plucked out, mow any grass present in order to keep up with customers' expectations on how well-groomed your property should be. Additionally this could also be a good time for some landscapers if they want an update or just need something new because flowers can add more beauty than weeding alone ever will!

AC/HVAC

If you're switching your building’s air flow system from heating to cooling, now is the best time for a quality check. Test out your system by running it; make sure that everything works properly and replace any outdated parts if necessary. Clean out the ventilation systems with dust particles or other debris lying inside them- ventilators are rarely cleaned which can lead to pest infestation or mold problems when cleaning vents/ducts of all buildings owners who neglect this step while in hot weather conditions! Not only that, but unclean ventilation systems can also cause a fire hazard. Would you rather have a professional cleaning company come to clean it out for you? Give us a call, we know a guy… (480) 553-7103

Pest Control Maintenance

Pest control has been a constant battle for years. Spring brings back the plant life that sustains us, but also introduces swarms of bugs and other pests. It’s important to take preventative measures in order to avoid being forced into costly fumigations or shut downs during peak seasons which can be detrimental on your bottom line as well as customer service satisfaction levels. If you have persistent pest problems year after year then there are probably some exterior factors outside of your business attracting these invaders such as landscaping issues or defects within the building itself like an open window near ground level where they could get inside easily with no security measures put up by previous owners who might not even live nearby anymore!

WHAT TO LOOK FOR INSIDE

Dusting

Dusting is one of the most overlooked cleaning tasks. Once dust accumulates, it can lead to other problems such as mold and mildew buildup or infestation by pests like bed bugs.

Dust has a tendency to accumulate in places that are hard for us humans with our tiny arms, short height, and limited mobility (like under your couch) because we don't go there often enough! Make sure you grab all those neglected areas when getting prepared for this month's deep clean so that not only will these spots be cleaner but they'll also stay nice-and-dust free until next time around. Here are 4 tips to help you when dusting

1. 1. Be sure to dust off all surfaces, including the tops of cabinets
2. 2. Dust bookshelves and other furniture that are covered in dust
3. 3. Check high shelves for cobwebs or any other signs of dirtiness
4. 4. Clean out air vents with a vacuum cleaner or duster

Flooring and Carpet Upkeep

The rainy monsoon season is here and hopefully by now everyone’s back to work. We all know how dirty our carpets get as people come in from a rainfall with their shoes on...which means dirt buildup starts happening right away inside too. Protect against this grime build-up by buying some strong cleaners and vacuuming regularly; but don't stop there--give your floors extra attention at least once or twice per year (particularly after heavy traffic) and have a professional carpet cleaner give them a good long scrubbing as well!

Keeping the office clean and organized

Here are some tips to keeping the office clean and organized:

• Make sure you have enough storage space for everything in your office. Get rid of the stuff that doesn't belong and find ways to store what does.
• Have a designated spot for recycling, trash, and other things that need to be taken out regularly. This will keep your office looking nice and organized.
• At the end of the day, or when workers are working remotely,encourage them to make sure their workspace is tidy before they leave the room or step away from your computer screen so there's no cleaning up needed when they get back!  - Keep any food items in an area where they won't be a distraction, cause damage, or get forgotten about and go bad.
• Don't let your office get cluttered! Set aside some time each day to tidy up the space you use and organize what you need on hand.

Keep your office disinfected

Okay, by now you have heard the disinfecting suggestion enough for a lifetime because of COVID19. But really it should have been being done this whole time. It was brought to a highlight because of COVID19, but imagine how much less people would have gotten sick if it had just been a routine part of cleaning this whole time. Keeping your workforce from getting sick from anything, not just COVID19, would keep their medical costs lower and keep them working and more productive. That’s good for everyone!

We also consider the health and safety of you and our employees. Our team will wear full PPE, when appropriate, to reduce the risk of contamination.

We Clean High-Risk Areas

We work carefully to follow the CDC’s recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting. They stress the constant cleaning of high-touch surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and tables. Other spaces mentioned in the CDC’s guidance for commercial spaces include:

• Kitchen/Food Areas
• Bathrooms
• Schools/Classrooms
• Offices
• Retail Spaces
• Water Fountains
• Shelving/Racks
• Sales Counters
• Carpets and Rugs
• Stair Handrails
• Elevator Cars
• Playground Equipment

Specialized Products

There is currently no product tested against this particular strain of the coronavirus, but we are following all guidelines as approved by the CDC and local authorities. The CDC recommends using a labeled hospital-grade disinfectant product with claims against similar pathogens to the coronavirus. Multiple products SERVPRO’s product line carry the EPA-approved emerging pathogens claims. As additional guidelines are released, we will continue to adapt our cleaning process so that we adhere to the highest standards.

Commercial Covid Cleaning in Mesa Arizona

Commercial Covid-19 Cleaning Process

With businesses being open and shut down repeatedly we have gotten a lot of calls from businesses in the Mesa AZ area asking us for our advice on best practices for maintaining an environment that is safe for their employees and customers/clients. So, we thought we would create a blog post to use as a tool for other businesses in the area who had similar questions.

The CDC recommends the following general steps to provide a safe environment for your employees and customers/clients.

1. Develop Your Plan
2. Implement You Plan
3. Maintain and Revise Your Plan

These ideas may seem a little elementary, but, it’s always a good idea to start with the basics for a good foundation. 

Developing Your COVID-19 Cleaning Plan

The first thing you need to do is to determine what areas need to be cleaned and how often they need to be cleaned. Areas that are not occupied for 7 days or more only need occasional routine cleaning. Areas of high traffic, especially high touch traffic, should be cleaned daily, often multiple times a day. You will also want to consider how often outside areas are used and how you will clean them.

Next you need to determine how you are going to clean those areas you have identified. Are you going to do a wipe down cleaning or a fog cleaning. There are advantages to both. Wipedown cleaning takes a little more time but you will get more chemical contact on those areas. Fogging takes less time and energy and also has the effect of disinfecting the air around the area being fogged. Also, will you have someone on your staff specifically tasked to make sure the cleaning is done or will you have an outside company like SERVPRO of North Central Mesa do the disinfectant cleaning for you? Ideally it should be a mix of both. For example, the staff cleaning high touch and traffic areas daily/multiple times a day, and have us come out once a week to do a thorough deep cleaning.

After identifying the areas being cleaned and how you are going to clean them, you need to determine what equipment and resources you are going to use for the cleaning. If your staff is going to be doing the cleaning you will want to make sure they have proper cleaning equipment (gloves, rags, disinfectant cleaning products.The Cleaning products you use should be EPA-Approved cleaners.) available to do the work. Rags and gloves are easy enough to source. For disinfectant cleaner, you can buy SERVPRO proprietary products on Amazon, or you can buy them directly from us and not pay shipping. If you are also going to have your employees do fogging, you will want to get an electrostatic sprayer as well. These can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand. Remember, you get what you pay for. You want to get one that will be reliable and last a good amount of time.

Your Cleaning Plan Implementation

As normal you will want to do routine cleaning of areas that get dirty in general. That part obviously hasn’t changed. You will want to consider how you will integrate your disinfectant cleaning for COVID into that schedule. You should consider whether your employees touch similar areas as other employees and how often. You will also want to consider how often your employees and clients/customers touch the same areas. That will help you determine which areas need to be cleaned most and least often. What areas of your business do you have the most traffic in? Those areas should receive the most attention and if there are not high touch surfaces in those areas, maybe you should just consider doing an occasional fogging of those areas.

You will want to make sure that there is a clear expectation as to who is responsible for making sure the cleaning is done as well as who will be doing the cleaning. Having roles specifically defined, as with any other part of your business, will help the process run more smoothly and will help to make sure that your plan is completed correctly and efficiently.

Make sure that employees are properly trained and understand the safety instructions on the cleaning labels. Also, make sure that employees are trained to use any fogging equipment properly to make sure areas are properly cleaned and to make sure that cleaning products are not being wasted. One of our technicians from SERVPRO of North Central Mesa can come by to do an initial training for your employees if requested.

Maintain and Revise

You will want to make sure you monitor cleaning efforts and evaluate them for effectiveness. Make sure to include employees in charge of overseeing the cleaning and performing the cleaning to get their feedback. You may also want to reach out to customers to ask their opinions. This has the added benefits of letting them know that you are doing the cleaning, that you value their opinion, and could help to identify areas of opportunity to improve your cleaning processes from an outside third party.

Here are some other suggestions to make sure your cleaning plan is properly maintained

1. Make sure new gloves are available for each new cleaning
2. Make sure clean rags are available to use for wipedown cleaning
3. Make sure the cleaning disinfectant product is properly stocked and available
4. Make sure that your electrostatic fogging machine is properly maintained on a regular basis
5. Post the cleaning protocols in an easily accessible place for all employees to see
6. Let clients/customers know about your cleaning protocols.

The last point may seem odd. But there are a couple of good reasons to do this. First, it lets your clients/customers know that the cleaning is happening. Your clients and customers want to know that they are going to be safe in your business. They will be more likely to work with you if they know that their health interests, and the health interests of your employees, are important to you. It could also make sure that the cleaning is being done. You know you have those clients or customers who will make a stink if they see something not being done that should be.

The question we get most often when talking to businesses about the cleaning protocols is how much it will cost the business to implement them. Well, my first question to them is, how much will it cost you not to implement them. Look, I get it. When you are running your business you are doing it to make a profit, hopefully a good profit. I have run several businesses in the past, so I totally get that. So, I would like to pose a few ideas to think of. 

1. How much would it cost the business if employees get sick because the protocols are not in place.
2. How much would it cost the business if clients and customers go elsewhere because they aren’t sure if they feel safe at your business.
3. If it costs you an extra $200 to $300 per week to implement the cleaning protocols, but as a result you either didn’t lose profit from the traffic you have from current clients and customers, or if you were to make an additional $500 per week from new clients and customers who feel safer at your business than your competitors. Would that be worth it to you?

Assessing those questions are all part of maintaining and revising your cleaning plan. I mentioned reaching out to your clients and customers. Creating an active cleaning protocol will also give you marketing material to work with on social media, in house, and don’t discount the effectiveness of snail mail marketing. Let customers know what you are doing. It gives you an opportunity to reach out to current and past customers without trying to sell them something while delivering a message that will make them more likely to want to work with you. 

Your current and prospective clients want to know information about the businesses they use taking this issue seriously. They will be happy to see marketing of this type come across their social feed on in the mailbox. Throw in a coupon to give them an opportunity to stop by and see the results of your cleaning efforts.

If you have questions or would like to know how much a one time or ongoing cleaning would cost on our side for your business, feel free to reach out to us. Call our Covid Cleaning line at (480) 568-4220 to talk with one of our experts. 

We look forward to working with you to help you keep your business clean and growing!

Commercial Mold Removal and Remediation in Mesa, AZ

Mold Removal and Remediation Services in Mesa Arizona

When You Suspect Mold in Your Mesa Business, You Can Count on SERVPRO of North Central Mesa for Mold Remediation Services

Mold is never something you want to leave ignored, whether you suspect it in your home or commercial space. Once you feel that you might have a mold infestation within your business, you must have the space assessed as quickly as possible. SERVPRO of North Central Mesa Professionals have the training necessary to locate areas where mold is colonizing so that we can begin moisture detection and cleanup protocols. We work fast to make sure your business suffers as little downtime as possible so you can stay on track with your business goals.

Do I Need Mold Inspection & Removal?

Contamination from the mold is a growing concern for all kinds of businesses in the Mesa AZ area. If you suspect that you have mold colonizing anywhere within your commercial space, it is vital that you contact the professionals for a mold inspection in Mesa. To have a hygienist come to actually test for mold could cost anywhere from $300 to $600. So you want to have someone who has training to deal with mold come do a basic mold inspection of the area to check to see if it is necessary to spend the money on having a hygienist come test your facility.

Mold is a fungus that flourishes in damp places and is known to grow in just about any area with moist conditions. Left unaddressed, mold can lead to potential health effects and harm your business's structural integrity. SERVPRO technicians have the necessary training to handle mold remediation. Our crew takes the time required to identify mold growth carefully to work on a plan for removal and sanitization.

What Should I Know About Mold?

Business owners need to know that some restoration entities will advertise their services as 'mold removal' in Mesa AZ. However, the idea of completely removing mold from your business is not possible and not even ideal. Every commercial building contains microscopic mold spores, so it is important that you know some of the facts:

• Mold is everywhere, both inside and outside of buildings.
• Mold thrives in moist environments and quickly colonizes when spores are exposed to water. When this happens, the mold colonies can bring on health effects and do serious damage to building structures.
• Microscopic in nature, mold spores travel through the air and often enter into commercial buildings through doors, windows, HVAC systems, or on the clothing of people who enter your business.
• When a significant amount of mold is present, you may start to notice a strong, musty odor.
• It is essential that moisture or standing water areas get cleared up before mold remediation services can begin. Without this step, mold can quickly return.
• It is best to note that higher humidity levels can create the ultimate atmosphere for mold growth. It is suggested that the indoor humidity of your building is kept lower than 45%. Luckily, in Arizona, we don’t have the same moisture issues as states like Florida or Alabama. However, that also means Arizonans are less likely to think about it and neglect it.

What are the signs of Mold I should look for?

One of the reasons that mold damage goes undetected is that it is usually hidden and hard to find. Should you have one or more of the following issues, you can contact SERVPRO of North Central Mesa to start the inspection process:

• Problems with your HVAC system
• Recent water damage or flooding
• Leaks from burst pipes or machinery
• Noticeable musty odors
• Water stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls

In some instances, there could also be damage to the structure of your Mesa AZ commercial space. Mold is known to grow on and eventually destroy materials such as:

• Drywall
• HVAC systems
• Gutters
• Foundations
• Roofing
• Furnishings, and more

What Equipment is Used for Mold Remediation?

SERVPRO of North Central Mesa’s IICRC-certified technicians are trained to handle a variety of moisture-related situations for both residential and commercial customers. When you call us in for mold remediation, we have a broad range of tools and equipment we use to remediate mold for your business. We are always upgrading our diagnostic and testing equipment to ensure we have the latest technology to help provide the best mold assessments possible; This includes:

• Infrared Cameras –these tools are excellent for detecting hidden pockets of moisture, leading to toxic mold.
• Digital Moisture Meters –this equipment provides us with the actual moisture percentage so that our crew can verify whether or not the surface in question supports toxic mold growth.
• Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Meters –these devices help record essential air quality metrics to give us a clear picture of your indoor conditions' commercial space.

SERVPRO is the team to call when you need help with professional mold remediation services so that your business is back on track:

• We work fast to assess the potential mold damage, then create a mold remediation plan suited for your unique situation. This helps to keep recovery costs down. That is why so many insurance companies have national agreements with us.
• Our crew chief keeps you informed every step of the way, letting you know if it is best to call in an Industrial Hygienist (IH) expert to test for mold spores within your structure.
• We help by assessing, inspecting, and then remediating the mold by removing any contaminated materials. We then scrape off any thin layers of spore growth followed by the application of EPA-registered antimicrobial agents.

Commercial Water Loss Mesa Arizona

Commercial Water Loss in Mesa Arizona

We recently got a call from a furniture business in Mesa AZ when a sprinkler line in the ceiling of the building broke. We were on the scene within 30 minutes of the call and were baffled when over 2 hours later water was still coming out of the damaged line. When the fire department came out to assist with the initial response, the emergency water shutoff valve was not completely shut off. This caused several thousand more gallons of water to enter the building causing more damage and requiring a lot more extraction time.  

Water damage can strike your Mesa commercial establishments at any time and this only means lost revenue and disruption of business leading to lost customers.

Preparing your Business, Home for a Flood & Fire with ERP

3/19/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of North Central Mesa can help with any of your properties.

How to prepare your Business or Home for a Flood or Fire

What is ERP? Why should every home and business have one?

In a best-case scenario, we never have to worry about emergencies such as water damage, fire damage, or other disastrous situations. But, they come when we least expect it and usually when we are the least prepared for it! Many businesses and homes have a plan to get out of the building if a disaster arises but don’t have a clear idea of what to do next. The reality is that the quicker water or fire damage is controlled and cleaned up, the less it costs you or your insurance, and the less time you are out of your home or business!

When you are talking about dealing with water damage, the mold should always be on your mind. Not taking care of the water damage can quickly lead to a massively expensive mold issue. If not tended to, it can double or triple the repair costs and time from the original water damage issue. Having a company on call who can respond within 1 to 2 hours can have a significant impact on keeping mold growth to a minimum or eliminate possible mold growth in the first place.

ERP stands for Emergency Ready profile. The designed for building with 100,000 square feet or less. It is intended to be a quick and easy snapshot of the building or home to provide relevant information in the case of an emergency. In the case of a business disaster, only 40% of the businesses who face a disaster ended up closing. Of the 60% who do not close, 75% of them had an emergency plan of action.

The ERP contains

• An Emergency Action Checklist
• Building shut off points for water and electricity with pictures.
• Emergency contacts
• Insurance information for the Building and contents
• Utility Service contact information with account numbers
• Property Overview
• Primary Contacts

A copy of the ERP can be printed out in a paper form or kept in an electronic form with the FREE Ready Plan App by SERVPRO that can be on an Android or IOS Device. The App is downloaded to every employee or family member’s mobile device, and your ERP is shared across devices, so everyone has the same plan of action!

You can complete the ERP yourself, or you can request to have a local SERVPRO professional come out and create your custom ERP utterly free of charge.

“The most effective way to handle a crisis is to prepare in advance by creating an Emergency Action Plan.” Osha.

SERVPRO's Document Restoration Team's Vacuum Freeze Drying Chamber

Do you own a paper or x-ray document driven business in Mesa Arizona? Have you wondered what would happen if a monsoon or other flooding incident occurred and caused your important documents to become saturated with water? Lawyers, loan specialists, medical offices and a number of other businesses could have a massive problem on their hands if their paper and/or x-ray documents became compromised. SERVPRO's Document Restoration Services can restore your paper or x-ray documents. 

SERVPRO uses a document restoration technique called Sublimation, through vacuum freeze drying, to restore documents for its legal, medical, loan and other small business clients. Sublimation is the processes of a substance directly from a solid state to a gas phase skipping the liquid phase. The liquid phase of the cleaning process is the phase where the most damage is done to paper and x-ray documents. By skipping this phase, we significantly increase the probability of restoring paper and x-ray documents to usable conditions!

The MedPro Group, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, encourages businesses to contact a restoration company as quickly as possible and to have a HIPAA agreement in place. All employees of SERVPRO’s Document Restoration Team are HIPAA Master certified, and once materials arrived at the SERVPRO facility they are under 24/7 surveillance!

Along with using Vacuum freeze-drying to dry out documents and x-rays, many times documents are exposed to CAT 3 water. CAT 3 water is the designation for sewage or flood waters and they generally carry all types of bacteria that could also pose a risk to documents. The SERVPRO Document Restoration Team uses a process called gamma irradiation to decontaminate documents and other goods of harmful bacteria. Don’t worry, the gamma irradiation process does not create radioactive elements and won't turn you or your documents into a green monster…

So why is cleaning so important? By the time carpet repairs needed, the flooring probably looks like an eyesore, or just unstable. As carpeting get older, it tends to separate from the subfloor called delamination. Children, pets and lots of social gatherings can be especially rough, resulting in matted carpets, stains setting in, and other issues. When you have these problems, it's a professionals duty to get rid of the stress of it all and provide a powerful cleaning solution. We are faster to any size disaster and prepared for nearly any situation. 

Floors, in general, are a significant part of a structure. The Holidays should be spent enjoying the company of family and friends, not dealing with allergies or illness. Hiring a trained professional to treat a home can ensure that dust mites don't wreck the party.
