Commercial Damage and Its Causes

6/20/2022 (Permalink)

a large commercial building with extensive damage to roof and siding SERVPRO of Jonesboro is your local commercial disaster team. Contact us to learn more about our commercial damage restoration services.

Local businesses move our country forward, and they have since its inception. We all likely visit multiple businesses in a day, between work, play, and shopping.

When you own one of those local businesses, you carry a heavy load with simply managing the day-to-day operations. When a disaster strikes, the consequences can be devastating.

Damage caused by natural weather events has been on the rise in the United States recently. Over the last five years, there has been an estimated $153 billion worth of damage annually, which represents a significant incline from previous periods.

Jonesboro has certainly had its share of severe weather. While our winters are generally mild with cold temperatures and even the occasional snow, our springs are wrought with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Just this past April, a storm system moved through that brought high winds and tornadoes, leaving behind downed trees, missing roof shingles, and power outages across our area. This weather event was reminiscent of the tornadoes that tore through in 2020 and left so many without a home—and was one more reminder that we must always stay ready.

The more we learn about potential hazards both across the nation and right here at home, the more we can protect our businesses.

Water Damage

Water and moisture are both a major threat to businesses around the country. Damage from water can happen in a variety of ways, either from external sources like flooding or an internal source like an appliance failure. No matter where it comes from, a water disaster can cause absolute chaos on a commercial property.

Exterior flooding, like that from a flash flood or an overflowing river, can seep through doors and the ground floor where it can affect your foundation. If the space around your building allows it, you can use your landscaping to divert water away from your grounds. Flower beds, mulch, and even just extra soil can build a barrier and protect your business.

Water damage can also occur when a leak is left unattended for an extended amount of time. Plumbing should be checked on a regular basis to watch for signs of drips, paying special attention to warping or discoloration along the floor or walls. Taking these steps now can help you avoid costly repairs later.

Storm Damage

Storm damage to commercial properties is extremely common and can take out a single unit, a roof tile, or an entire community of businesses. Even a power outage or debris caused by a dangerous storm can damage your business and keep you away from work for an extended amount of time.

A powerful storm can rip off a roof or cause structural damage that could be irreversible. These storms can bring winds of over 100 mph that can knock over freight trucks and uproot trees as if they were twigs.

You can minimize the damage to your building with a few upgrades such as storm-protective window covers and updates to your roofing. While these repairs can be rather costly, there are also low-cost ways to protect your building.

Check the seals on your windows and doors and keep up with regular maintenance and cleaning on your building. Walk your property before a storm and ensure any loose items are secured and dead plants are cleared out. Take care of your building now to avoid costly repairs later.

Know Who to Call

As a business owner, commercial damage is the last item you want to add to your list of things to be handled. Storm damage, water damage from internal sources, and fire damage can force you to close for repairs or even cause a total loss of business.

Thankfully, we are available 247 to respond to your emergencies faster. Our experts are prepared for any disaster your business may face. We will build a plan and a timeline that gets you back in action as fast as possible.

If you have experienced damage to your business or want to learn more about our commercial damage restoration services, contact us today. We’re here to act fast, 247.

Large Commercial Flooding

3/15/2022 (Permalink)

Floods are a common occurrence in any property over time, but when floods occur in a large commercial building with multiple floors, the situation becomes quite a bit more complicated. A common scenario for flooding in large buildings is a flood in a higher floor or level that then leaks and seeps down into the walls and rooms of the lower levels of the buildings. This makes locating all affected areas quite difficult, in addition to this the flood and water can have a huge impact on the other infrastructure within the building such as plumbing and electrical. An issue such as this can also easily serve as a catalyst for a larger problem within the building. Here at SERVPRO, we can handle your commercial flood; no matter the severity. If you have any questions regarding your home or commercial building call SERVPRO of Jonesboro at (870)934-0501.

Your Commercial Emergency Ready Plan

3/8/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage is one of the largest loss causes we deal with in commercial properties, yet only a small percentage of clients have a formal Emergency Readiness Plan in place.  

SERVPRO of Jonesboro offers Emergency Readiness Plans to all commercial businesses at no cost.  We are happy to help gather the necessary information, put together a plan, and submit it to all personnel to have at their fingertips in case of an emergency.

Even a small amount of water can cause a significant loss to high-valued equipment.  In a space with low content, there can still be significant costs.  Water damage can mean tearing out flooring, ceilings, walls, and insulation.  There is also the potential problem of the space being unusable and causing slow or shut down business until the work is completed.  The magnitude of these losses is often dependent on how prepared the business is to handle the disruption.  

Contact SERVPRO of Jonesboro at 870-934-0501 to schedule your free Emergency Readiness Plan as soon as possible so your business is prepared.

Water Damage in Your Commercial Building

Water Damage in Office Buildings

When water enters an office space that houses office equipment, supplies, furniture, and computers that could be affected, the resulting damage could be costly. Not only is there the potential of damage to office items and important documents, but water can also seep into the wall cavities and become trapped behind common building materials.  This would only create ongoing moisture problems long after the water damage incident.

All buildings are different, but each is at a risk for water damage.  Even the most carefully operated office building will likely experience a water damage event at some point.  With hopes it will never have to be used, the building staff should have a well-practiced emergency response plan. The speed of response to a water loss is the most vital key to getting back to normal day-to-day operations quickly.

About SERVPRO of Jonesboro

SERVPRO of Jonesboro's professionals has the training, experience, and equipment to manage water and flooding damage. Whether you have a large water emergency or a small water damage event, we will respond quickly to mitigate the damage and manage the restoration project through its completion.

Sewage Cleanup

3/16/2021 (Permalink)

Sewer backups should be considered an emergency since the water may contain viruses, bacteria, and other microbes that can cause serious illness. SERVPRO of Jonesboro has specialized training and equipment to quickly and safely clean containments like sewage.

There are three types of contaminated water:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

Category 1 water is from a clean source like a broken water supply line or leaking faucet. If not treated the water can turn into Category 2 or 3, depending on the length of time, temperature, and contact with surrounding contaminants.

Category 2: “Gray Water”

Category 2 water is contaminated and could cause discomfort or illness. Examples of this would be washing machine overflow, toilet overflow with some urine but no feces, or dishwasher overflow. This type of water can quickly degrade into a Category 3 if left untreated.

Category 3: “Black Water”

Category 3 water is grossly contaminated and could cause severe illness or death if ingested and any contact should be avoided. Examples of this include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

Is Your Business Ready for an Emergency?

3/11/2021 (Permalink)

50% of businesses may not reopen after a disaster. Out of all the businesses that survive most of them have a preparedness plan in place in case of an emergency.  

Developing a SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) can help minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action in the case of an emergency. Knowing exactly what to do in advance is the key to timely mitigation. A proper plan can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

 Advantages of Developing an ERP Plan

  • There is no extra cost for the assessment of your facility. This means that there is no need to build up funds, SERVPRO of Jonesboro can give you a great value at no cost.
  • Receiving a Profile Document that contains critical information needed in the event of an emergency. It takes little to no time to complete documentation and will not take away from other events going on at your business.
  • A guide to assist you to get back into your building following a disaster. A guide will help minimize the amount of time your business is inactive by providing you with an immediate plan of action.
  • Establishes SERVPRO of Jonesboro as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider. SERVPRO is recognized as an industry leader.
  • Identifies the line of command for authorizing work to begin. This can save time so SERVPRO of Jonesboro can begin work with mitigating the damage before it worsens. It can save time and money.
  • Provides facility details such as shut-off valve locations, priority areas, and priority contact information. Having a quick reference of what to do, how to do it, and whom to call provides solutions in advance of an emergency so that during the emergency, you are “Ready."

Fire Sprinkler Water Damage

2/20/2021 (Permalink)

Fire sprinklers are an excellent way to protect your office or business from fire, however, malfunctions or accidental discharges can also leave behind a lot of damage.  One of these accidents could be caused by:

  • a nearby heat source such as an engine or candle
  • a sudden freeze followed by a thaw
  • corrosion within the sprinkler (make sure to have your sprinklers inspected regularly to prevent this)

An accidental discharge will most likely be an easy cleanup, but it is important to take care of it early. If the sprinklers are cut off soon after they begin discharging, the mess can be dried up using some towels and a mop. However, if the sprinklers are not turned off right away, the problem becomes much larger and will likely require the services of a professional water remediation company. After an inspection and assessment of the property, the team will get to work on water extraction and removal using state-of-the-art equipment and proven methods. The next step of the restoration process is drying and ventilating the soaked area. This will prevent further damage and mold growth.  Here at SERVPRO of Jonesboro, we have unique equipment to make the drying process as quick as possible.

Time is Money

Time is always of the essence when it comes to a commercial loss, so our certified crews at SERVPRO of Jonesboro use our training expertise to create a plan that works around the needs of the business we're helping while keeping any businesses downtime to a minimum. 

They say "time is money" and nobody knows that to be more true than a small business owner. So if your business experiences a fire or water loss, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Jonesboro at (870)934-0501 to ensure a fast response time, and to help get your doors reopened.

Commercial Large Water Loss

2/1/2021 (Permalink)

Concrete floor with puddles of water on it Pictured above is the factory floor with water on it while we were in the middle of extracting. You can see we had cleaned up the majority already.

When disaster strikes, our team is always ready to go. We offer our emergency services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week- including all holidays. Our emergency services were recently utilized for an emergency commercial large water loss. We received a call at 1:36 a.m. on a Sunday morning that a local factory here in Jonesboro, AR had a sprinkler line break. This resulted in 2 inches of standing water on the floor of this very large factory. Approximately 90,000 square feet of this building were affected. SERVPRO of Jonesboro knows how important it is to get your business back to normal as quickly as possible, thus reducing the loss of time and income. With this knowledge, we knew we needed to respond quickly and efficiently, so we called in a big crew and got to work right away.

If your commercial property suffers from water damage, call us right away at (870)934-0501, and we will get your business back up and running as fast as possible. 

Commercial Building Damage

11/2/2020 (Permalink)

Any damage that can affect a residential property can also affect your commercial building. Below are types of damage that can affect your business.

Types of Damage:

Water: This damage can be caused by a flood, burst of pipes, rain, or a number of other things. In any case, this can then result in contaminated water affecting surfaces and furniture. This type of damage can cause mold growth and items to be eroded. Electricity and water damage are volatile when combined.

Storm: Damage caused by strong winds, hail, and heavy rain which can remove roof tiles, break windows, and more. Storm damages can be very devastating and can cause your business to be put on hold.

Mold: Mold spreads quickly around properties as air-borne spores, and remediation is very important to prevent it from getting out of hand. This is highly unhygienic as well as being unappealing to look at. Even that small leak under your office’s bathroom sink can eventually cause mold growth.

Mold grows in any moist environment.

Fire: This type of damage can come from a gas stove, faulty outlet, lightning strikes, or a cigarette that isn’t properly put out. This can then cause severe destruction to your property which requires cleaning and restoration services.

If you have any questions or in need of services please don’t hesitate to call SERVPRO of Jonesboro at (870) 934-0501.

Mold Growth Tips for Cleanup

3/18/2020 (Permalink)

If your home or commercial building recently flooded due to storm damage or some sort of plumbing issues, you're probably unsure of the next step. Not only are you worried about property damage from the water, but you also have to worry about mold in your home or business. Mold can affect indoor air quality, can cause significant property damage and can cause a foul smell that even the best deodorization techniques can't get rid of! Follow these tips if you're dealing with residential or commercial mold in Jonesboro or North East Arkansas.

SAFETY FIRST

You just never really know what can be floating around in standing water that can hurt you. For example, electrical wiring. You don't want to endure an electrical shock. Once you know you can safely enter, PROTECT YOURSELF by wearing protective clothing, such as gloves and a face mask. 

Stop the Moisture

This is the very first step! Before the mold can be properly addressed, as much moisture as possible needs to be removed. If there is standing water, it can be dangerous to walk into your home or commercial property, so please make sure you can safely enter the building or structure.  

Hire a Professional

The best thing you can do is leave it to the experts. Rely on a team of professionals to help get your home or business back in tip-top shape. Experts can come in and assess the true extent of the damage and help ensure all of the molds are properly remediated. We promise it could save you a lot of time, money and headaches in the future.

Apartment Fire

10/21/2019 (Permalink)

We recently were called to a multi unit apartment complex in Jonesboro, AR due to a fire. It appears the fire resulted from cooking in one of the units. The fire damage was confined to a few units but the entire complex suffered smoke and/or water damage. We never know the scope of a project until we complete an initial walk through. While the job seemed very large much of this became specialty services being required. Professional asbestos abatement had to be completed due to the age of the structure and the amount of demo that was necessary. By the time all of this was completed there was additional water damage and mold growth. Dry Ice Blasting was another specialty service that had to be completed due to the wide spread damage. SERVPRO of Jonesboro handled all of the smoke cleaning for all salvageable units to include cleaning of walls, ceilings, cabinets, bathrooms and similar items. We also handled the drying of each affected unit that was damaged by water damage. While this was a devastating event for the building owner and the tenants we are thankful they placed their trust in SERVPRO of Jonesboro. While we may not be able to handle every aspect of a job by doing the work, we do have the resources to get the job completed regardless of size. Sometimes the specialty services are just that; specialty and completed by the proper licensed companies for that service.

How to Handle a Mold Situation

2/5/2019 (Permalink)

When there is water in your business, mold can quickly become an issue. It can cause health issues and damage to your property. SERVPRO of Jonesboro has the training, protective gear, and specialized equipment to handle your mold problem.

Call SERVPRO of Jonesboro
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. One of our employees will ask a series of questions to help determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed.

Assessment 
Your property will be carefully inspected for signs of mold using various technologies to detect mold and hidden water sources. Mold feeds on cellulose and water and can be hidden from plain view.

Containment
Different containment procedures will be placed to prevent the spread of mold, like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process.

Air Filtration
Specialized filtration equipment captures microscopic mold spores out of the air. SERVPRO of Jonesboro technicians use powerful air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in progress.

Removing 
The process of mold remediation depends on the amount of mold growth and the type of surface it's on. Anti-fungal and antimicrobial treatments will be used to eliminate mold colonies and help prevent new ones from forming. Removing and disposing of mold-infested porous materials, like drywall and flooring, may be necessary.

Cleaning 
SERVPRO of Jonesboro cleans your furniture, decorative items, curtains, and other restorable items affected by mold. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to clean and sanitize your belongings.

Water Damage to Pocahontas, Arkansas Building

10/3/2018 (Permalink)

Roof Damage Leads to Water Damage

Back in August on a stormy morning we received a call directly from the building owner about the roof being blown off of his building. The most amazing part of this was that the storm actually occurred in the morning hours but by the time we received the call in the afternoon the roof had already been replaced. Our crews responded quickly to begin water extraction and cleanup. Two suites within this building were affected and although the customer had their own general contractor we were able to assist with demolition to affected drywall and cleanup from blown insulation removal in the wall cavities. Drying equipment was placed within the building and we successfully dried the structure. The drying for this loss ranged from three to six days. As areas were fully completed with demo we would place equipment to begin the drying process. It is not common in most cases to wait until all demo is completed to start drying. Our job is to begin removing moisture from the interior environment immediately. It's important to know that many interior walls did not have insulation. These walls were salvaged and dried in place by removing the base trim and ventilating the wall cavity.  We approach every job with salvaging as much as possible. This brings a direct explanation and difference between Repair vs. Replace.
