Fires in Commercial Buildings

Any disruption in business affects the bottom line. SERVPRO has teams dedicated to getting you back to work after a fire in your commercial property. Our large loss teams can respond quickly. Their training and experience give them expert understanding of the unique issues facing commercial property owners during a disaster such as fire. Beyond the fire’s structural damage, smoke and soot can be toxic and create a hazardous situation.

A recent fire in the laundry room of a long-term care facility exposed not only the staff to harmful matter in the air, but the elderly residents too. It also meant the laundry service had to be suspended. To ensure everyone’s safety we cleaned the entire structure using specialized tools and cleaning products to eliminate these matters from the environment. Our teams got straight to work mitigating the damages so everyone in the facility was kept safe and laundry service could resume. 

Unique Challenges of Commercial Property Flooding

Flooding and water damage events at Dearborn or Dearborn Heights commercial properties are often complex. The many variations of commercial buildings in our area require a knowledgeable and flexible response. We work quickly to assess each unique situation and isolate the damaged area.

Restoring Commercial Properties Presents Unique Challenges
Every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of our customer's lost revenue and productivity. Our emergency response services work quickly and purposefully. Our professionals are trained to be mindful of legal and environmental concerns. We understand the delicacies of the Ecorse Creek and Rouge River watersheds which run through our community. We strive to keep the sanctity of those precious systems while keeping your business running.

A commercial customer’s facility stores manufacturing equipment waiting to clear US Customs as it enters the country. During recent flooding rains, we needed to extract water from the docking area without disturbing the pallets awaiting inspection. It took some creativity on our part, but we dried the facility without interfering with the customs process.

Office Cleaning Checklist

People working in a commercial office space Working in a clean and organized office increases productivity

The first of the year is a great time to give your office a thorough cleaning. This is the perfect time to address those neglected chores like vacuuming the hard-to-reach areas, wiping ceiling fan blades and dusting the top of the bookcases.

If your business does not use a full-service commercial cleaning company, it is especially important to focus on a complete workspace cleaning. Having employees spend a little time organizing paperwork, cleaning drawers and shelves, or taking inventory of office supplies is an easy way to get rid of the unnecessary clutter and waste. Organization improves productivity!

Preventing Damage to Your Commercial Property

5/11/2021 (Permalink)

One of the most common commercial property insurance claims is water damage. The costs can easily exceed $15,000. Regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance of plumbing, roofing and appliances help reduce the risk of leaking and broken pipes.

  1. Inspect Plumbing
    Broken pipes are a common cause of water damage in commercial buildings. A thorough annual inspection can identify wear, damage or improper installation; all things making a rupture pipe morel likely. Pipe materials can last two or more decades, but some materials are more likely to degrade. Replacing old polybutylene lines with pipes made of more reliable plastic or metal materials can reduce the risk of breaking.
  2. Maintain Roofing
    Roof leaks are another cause of damage that can be prevented with timely inspection and proper maintenance. After severe storms, check the condition of roofing to ensure the shingles are in place and undamaged. Falling limbs are potentially major damaging so be sure to trim trees seasonally.
  3. Check Appliances
    Appliances that use water are also potential causes of a pipe break. A toilet backup, loose appliance connections and faulty shut-off valves can cause leaks which spread damage throughout a building. Regular inspections and maintenance of the entire system reduces the risk of large-scale water losses.

Preventative measures are almost always significantly less costly than major repairs. They are also less disruptive to business operations.

Workers in PPE cleaning office cubicles Our technicians use hospital grade disinfectants to sanitize Dearborn area businesses

SERVPRO Corporation recently conducted a survey to learn how customers feel about returning to businesses after Covid. The results show many consumers expect higher standards from business than they keep in their own homes. The survey’s complete results can be found at SERVPRO Consumer Survey. Here are few of the highlights:

  1. Consumers view a business’ cleanliness during COVID as an indicator of how well that business is run in general.
  2. Customers are more trusting of professionally cleaned businesses versus self-cleaned. 
  3. COVID exposure from touching surfaces that have not been sufficiently cleaned remains a high concern for customers.

Over the last year, SERVPRO of Dearborn and Dearborn Heights SE has helped area businesses stay Covid free; as well has disinfecting those who have had exposures. For more information about Covid cleaning, please call our office 313-359-4357

Commercial Building Maintenance

One story, brown, brick commercial building with three entrances Regardless of the size of your commercial building, SERVPRO of Dearborn & Dearborn Heights SE can help with all your restoration needs.

There are some important things to keep in mind in the prevention water damage to a commercial building. Damage and potentially damaging situations are not always obvious when examining your property. The website disastersafety.org offers some easy tips to preventing water damage at your commercial building.

Ground Maintenance:
Landscaping and ground maintenance are major components of a complex system protecting a commercial building from water damage. Proper drainage prevents water pooling against your building. Grassy areas, flower beds and trees help absorb water, drawing it away from buildings.

Building Envelope:
Any unwanted water intrusion can significantly impact the value of a commercial property. Protecting the roofs, walls, windows, and other components of ‘the envelope’ (everything that protects in the interior from the elements) is critical to reducing the likelihood of water damage. Periodically check all exteriors for leaks, damage or signs of standing water.

HVAC Systems: 
Proper operation and maintenance of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system will reduce the risk of water damage to a commercial building.

Renter's Insurance

6/4/2019 (Permalink)

Help protect your property by requiring renter's insurance.

Requiring a tenant to have renter’s insurance is a smart move for any property owner. Here are a few of the benefits of requiring it of all tenants:

  1. Mitigate the Threat of Lawsuits
    The primary reason for requiring tenants to carry renter’s insurance is to lessen the property owner’s chance of being sued. If an uninsured tenant’s belongings are damaged, they may try to sue the owner for reimbursement.
  2. Reduce Your Responsibility
    The landlord’s obligation to relocate a tenant if the leased space becomes uninhabitable varies depending on the specific terms of each lease. Tenants with renter’s insurance do not have the rely on the landlord’s largess for relocation as that is the tenant’s insurance carrier’s obligation.
  3. Weed Out Questionable Tenants
    Prospective tenants who balk at required renter’s insurance are likely tenants you’d rather not have. Renter’s insurance is one the least expensive types of insurance available. If this expense is difficult for them to bear, there may be undisclosed financial concerns.
  4. Cover Your Deductible
    If a tenant inadvertently causes a fire or other catastrophic damages to your building your insurance policy will may cover the repair costs. However, you will be responsible for the deductible, which can be a substantial amount of money. A properly insured tenant’s policy should cover the deductible thereby lessening your risk
  5. Annual Check Ups
    With each year’s lease renewal, be certain to require proof of insurance. Some tenants may allow conditional policies to lapse once they have moved in. Cancelling or allowing a policy to lapse should be grounds to terminate the lease agreement.

Disposal of these items is at the directive of the assigned insurance adjuster.

Water in Commercial Buildings

SERVPRO of Dearborn has specialized equipment for commercial buildings

Work Place Water Damage is Restored by SERVPRO

Water damage in commercial buildings is a surprisingly frequent occurrence. Some of the most common causes of water damage to commercial buildings are as follows:
 
1. Malfunctioning sprinkler systems
Sprinkler systems work in concert with fire protection systems. While sprinklers are crucial during a fire emergency, they can also cause significant flood damage if they malfunction.

2. Damaged appliances and equipment
If your business has any type of equipment which uses water, you may be at risk for water damage. When appliances fails, water will travel unimpeded around your building. If this happens outside your regular business hours, you could have a substantial amount of water by the time you reopen.
 
3. Broken pipes and plumbing
Plumbing in a commercial building is used far more frequently than residential systems. This extra stress can cause the system to fail much sooner than private systems.
 
4. Backed up sewer lines
Commercial sewer line are susceptible to back ups just like residential lines. Should the sewer line to your building back up, realize there are potential dangers in the water coming into your space. Regardless of the color and clarity of the water, any water coming through the sewer line is dirty and is a biohazard.

SERVPRO of Dearborn has specially trained staff and industrial equipment to clean, sanitizer and deodorize any water damage in your commercial building of any size. We are always here to help.

Flooding in a Commercial building

11/28/2017 (Permalink)

Hotels are just one examples of business which cannot close even during an emergency.

Trust SERVPRO of Dearborn to Get Your Business Open After Flooding

A water loss in a commercial building cannot wait for clean up. Fortunately, SERVPRO of Dearborn has the equipment, training and experience to eliminate the effects of any plumbing failure and keep the doors open.

Commercial carpets are typically much easier to dry that residential carpet as they do not have a pad underneath and rest on a concrete floor. Also the service areas tend to be larger and more accessible. These factors make drying less complicated than a residential water loss. Although each case is unique, the typical process is as follows...

SERVPRO of Dearborn technicians use extraction wands to remove water from the floor. Depending on the size of the area, we use either hand-held wands, similar to wet/dry vacuum found in most home workshops or a much larger device a team member stands on to drive across the room. We can extract several large rooms in just a matter of hours. 

Technicians then set up dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air. They also strategically place units to draw out water absorbed into the walls. Each of our machines can remove over 25 gallons per day.
 
To aid the dehumidifiers, we set up fans to draw in warm, dry air replacing the cold, damp air. To dry the structure, technicians install air movers which blow heated air into walls and ceilings to expedite drying.
 
Flooding does not mean shutting down a business for weeks or even days. SERVPRO of Dearborn can help you reopen your doors quickly. If you need our services, call today at (313) 359-4357.
