handle content cleaning, mold removal, and other secondary tasks related to cleaning up after any

water damage.

2. Ethical: The certification also ensures your team adheres to a certain code of ethics. This code

Have SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga Create a ERP for you

Commercial Water Removal

4/20/2022 (Permalink)

Because elevated levels of water vapor in the air can cause defects at any point in the manufacturing process or during storage before shipping or pickup, SERVPRO of  provides business owners in Rancho Cucamonga  water removal services. We arrive ready to help you shut the flow of water off, including locating the source in those situations where it remains hidden. Once completed, we begin with the removal of the water wherever we find it on your floors.

Removing water from horizontal surfaces discloses the location of many hidden spots where water remains left inside walls and other enclosed areas. When water slowly seeps out of hollow wall spaces, it collects alongside the joint between wall and floor. We prefer to help drainage happen faster by drilling a few weep holes.

While we have the baseboards removed, we also drill a hole large enough for the flexible tubing of our Inject dry system. We use this machine to force dry air into enclosed spaces because our air movers alone cannot reach into these areas as effectively as needed. We measure the moisture in the air as it exits, letting us determine when the interior reaches dry conditions as well as using moisture meters to determine the moisture content of other materials.

Commercial Spring Cleaning

2/9/2022 (Permalink)

Spring is just around the corner and is time to start preparing your business to make it ready for the busiest seasons ahead.

Clean Your Air Ducts and HVAC

The ventilation system should be property cleaned and deodorized to make sure the air quality in your business is not poor. If it has not been serviced for some time, your air could be circulating dust, pollen, odors and dirt and debris. 

Kitchen Cleaning

Checking the hoods in the kitchen of a restaurant or hotel is recommended twice a year, so this becomes a good time of the year to start. 

Cleaning the pilot lights on a gas stove is also being proactive to avoid future problems. Be sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions. Empty and sanitize the ice machine, and wipe down walls, ceilings and dry storage areas. 

Rugs and Carpets

If your restaurant or hotel has carpeting and rugs, now is a great time to clean them as well. SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga will deep clean your carpeting and rugs removing the abundance of dust, debris and food particles that may have been lingering there for months. A proper cleaning will rid your carpets of unhealthy particles and odors you don't want to carry into the new season. 

Upholstery, Drapes and Blinds

There is nothing like the sweet smell of walking into a freshly cleaned business establishment as a new season approaches. For employees and customers alike a freshly cleaned business guarantees a fresh start to successful season. 

Protecting your building from fires

2/8/2022 (Permalink)

If your building was constructed with modern building materials, fire damage should be a rare occurrence. But it can still happen if you’re not careful. Make sure all smoking materials are safely extinguished before leaving work each day. A smoldering cigarette can ignite more easily than you think. Also, make sure to regularly inspect your smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire suppression systems to ensure they’re working properly. If a smoke alarm goes off for no reason at all, make sure to replace or recharge its batteries immediately.

Automatic Fire Detection & Fire Extinguishing Systems, this shows that one of the most important steps you can take towards protecting your office building from fire damage is to install and maintain automatic detection and fire extinguishing systems.

Camera monitoring systems would be best for large-scale commercial properties.

When it comes to electrical distribution and lighting equipment, there is a multitude of reasons why fire may start. Faulty outlets or appliances, light fixtures, extension cords, space heaters, and wiring issues were the 5 most common electrical fire causes.

 To prevent faulty outlet or wiring fire hazards, the first step is to make sure to have a certified electrical contractor or property inspector review your commercial property before purchase. Even if you or a tenant are already occupying your commercial office space, a proper inspection by a certified electrical contractor to ensure code compliance of all building materials and installations will protect you from potentially expensive fire repairs.

Commercial Water Damage

Mitigation involves preventing damage from worsening before the affected area can be restored, water damage can lead to serious problems at a commercial building. Follow these four steps to address the cause of water damage and complete pipe burst cleanup.

1. Fix the Cause

Water damage will worsen until the cause is fixed. If a pipe breaks or you notice a supply line leaking, shut off the water supply and gather as much water as possible. This will limit the amount of moisture that soaks into building materials and contents.

2. Remove Standing Water

After the problem is solved, empty containers and eliminate all standing water. A building owner may want to contact a water cleanup and damage restoration service. Professionals can use a pump to get rid of every trace of water and complete pipe burst cleanup more quickly than is possible with consumer-grade equipment.

3. Clean If Necessary

A supply line burst or leak is likely to involve clean, treated Category One water. Cleaning may not be necessary if you act quickly. Category One water can degrade to Category Two if left standing for 48 hours or longer. Disinfection is necessary for damage caused by contaminated Category Two or Category Three water.

4. Dry and Restore

Once all standing water is gone, it is time to dry the affected area. Cleanup professionals may use air movers, fans, or dehumidifiers to draw water out of the air and porous surfaces. Drying will reduce the risk of mold growth after any category of water damage.

Tenant Insurance

Water damage

Rental Insurance

It is a good idea to have a rental insurance policy in the event of an accident. Many property managers require rental insurance. Coverage can vary from policy to policy. Some policies cover property damage, theft, personal belongings and even lodging in the event of a displacing emergency. It’s a good idea to look into obtaining a rental insurance policy, and if you already have one, it’s good to be familiar with what is and what is not covered.

Property management/ owner duties

Any landlord is responsible for keeping the apartment maintained to an acceptable level of livability. Basic plumbing, appliance and electrical maintenance is the responsibility of the landlord, as is basic property upkeep. The landlord can be held negligible for damage incurred due to failing to perform these basic functions.

Damage to personal property

Damage to the building itself, as well as utilities and appliances should be covered by the property owner’s insurance policy. Damage to personal property falls under the responsibility of the party who caused the damages, which may or may not be the tenant.

Minimize the Risk of Fires in your Commercial property

2/4/2021 (Permalink)

Making your work space safe

SAFETY OF YOUR COMMERCIAL BUILDING

1. Identify any potential hazards in the building. Look for the presence of ignition sources (heaters, lights, electrical equipment, etc.). Also look for potential sources of fuel for a fire (plastic, packages, rubber, petrol, chemicals, etc.).
2. Consider which of these hazards should be deemed the most important risk.
3. Put measures in place to control these risks. It is important to think about the hierarchy of control in this case. For example, eliminate items that could generate an explosive atmosphere, inspect and clean all machinery, turn off electricity points when the business is not inhabited, remove materials that could be used as fuel, store, and dispose of flammable substances accordingly.
4. Monitor the hazards and continue to perform inspections on all necessary equipment. It is better to be over-prepared.

Commercial Properties Common Leaks Places

Warehouse Water Loss

Water leaks pose a very significant threat to commercial buildings, in particular, as they use much bigger amounts of water than residences – either for their business activities or simply because of the large number of people using the water fixtures in the facility on a daily basis. Therefore, leaks in commercial buildings lead to the waste of hundreds of gallons of water per day and can substantially increase the company’s monthly bills. 

1). Toilet Leaks

2). Faucet Leaks

3). Plumbing Leaks

4). Roof Leaks

5). Ceiling Leaks

6). Basement Leaks

To avoid such troubles, property owners need to maintain their buildings in excellent condition and seek efficient professional solutions from SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga at the first sign of a water problem.

Deodorizing

SERVPRO Ozone Machine

Odor removal is an essential component of almost every restoration job. There are a variety of options available from masking agents to foggers to ozone and hydroxyl generators, and so on. In our industry, we have noticed a rather large debate being waged over the benefits and dangers of these two options. There is a clear advantage to using machines to eliminate odors from spaces and items rather than simply just  trying to mask them.  SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga technicians are highly trained to recommend the best method for your odor neutralization.  

It is VERY IMPORTANT to know that both ozone and hydroxyl will remove odors – hydroxyl will just take longer.

Differences Between Hydroxyl and Ozone

1. Hydroxyl is not harmful to plants and fish.
2. Hydroxyl does not leave behind a chemical smell.
3. Hydroxyl works on a larger variety of odors.
4. Hydroxyl can be used in wet areas to help deodorize. Ozone machine used in wet areas can bleach a material.
5. Hydroxyl machines will typically take longer to deodorize.
6. Ozone can possibly damage rubber or leather goods.
7. Ozone is to be used in unoccupied areas with return to the area at least one hour after the machine has turned off.
8. Ozone is much stronger and faster and must be closely monitored.  

Both options are very effective and have their time and place on when to be used.  Depending on the type of odor and the amount of time allotted will dictate what option you should choose.  Be sure to only use experienced technicians when using equipment such as these.  Supervision of both methods is necessary to effectively remove the odor.

Flood damage remediation situation in South Rancho Cucamonga easier

Expert Help for Flood Damaged Rancho Cucamonga Businesses

Flooding is not a pleasant event for any property owner in Rancho Cucamonga. The struggles felt by our local businesses when overland or internal flooding occurs in commercial spaces extend to the city at large as well. We all depend on our schools, restaurants, retail stores, workplaces, and entertainment venues to be open and ready to meet our needs. When a flood disaster strikes a commercial customer our efforts help both the business and our community.

A water supply line break in a commercial space can cause significant flood damage in Rancho Cucamonga. If the event occurs outside of working hours, the quantity of water flowing into a facility can be vast and incredibly destructive. As soon as the staff at the business first notes the flooding, fast action from water removal professionals is crucial to limit the damage done.

SERVPRO crews are expert at managing large flood water removal scenarios. We arrive in vehicles stocked with pumps and truck-mounted high-efficiency extractors powered by onboard generators if the electricity at the site is temporarily unavailable. Our crews jump on the tasks at hand as soon as a preliminary assessment completes, and the water is shut off, confident in our ability to begin and complete needed water evacuation.

After the majority of the standing water exits, SERVPRO crew members use a range of devices to detect and measure moisture levels to inform us as we structure drying goals and configurations. Infrared scanners help detect water trapped in recesses and cavities behind walls, under floors and ceilings, and any other place moisture collects in a commercial physical plant.

All water must be suctioned out or otherwise released or the risk of mold growth spirals. The SERVPRO team uses a host of strategies including flood cuts, drilled holes, and top-down wand extraction to rid the spaces of all liquid water. Then we employ air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture content of porous building materials by moving water out as a vapor to be captured and removed via condensation or absorption.

Water that remains unabated for 24 to 48 hours dramatically increases the probability that mold spores generate into colonies and multiply. Any other microorganisms present in a sewage backup or overland flooding during the event also have a window of opportunity to grow and spread. Because of this, SERVPRO concludes flood damage remediation with a thorough cleaning and treatment with EPA registered disinfectants to inhibit microbial infestation.

SERVPRO of South Rancho Cucamonga works fast and hard to remediate commercial flood damage in the communities we serve. Contact us 24/ 7 at (909) 758-0189 to schedule an evaluation.

How to recover your business after water damage occurs

4/15/2019 (Permalink)

Water Damage in Recreation Center

Though maintaining a successful business in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca takes dedication, time and money, water damage can quickly create a variety of issues for the company. Making repairs and recovering products after the damage can be costly, but there are various steps you can take to make the process easier.

Collect What You Can

Assuming that it is safe for you to be in your business, collect important items to ensure they don’t become lost or damaged. Even if you feel that an item is damaged, removing it from the area can make water cleanup easier. Make sure to take note of any items made of cloth, such as furniture or rugs, and relocate them if possible to prevent staining and mold growth.

Remove Water

Eliminate as much water as possible. Mopping up areas that aren’t saturated with water can help to prevent further damage. If the ceiling is not damaged, you can turn on fans to help dry up the water. Air flow can also help the water dry quickly.

Avoid Potential Hazards

When you remove items and clean your business after water damage has occurred, it’s essential to be aware of your environment and prioritize safety. Make sure you and others don’t slip on puddles of water, trip over broken pipes or use any electrical fixtures or appliances. If you’re unsure if you can safely move something, or if you don’t know if using an item is safe, it’s best to err on the side of caution. The old adage that it is better to be safe than sorry applies here.

Water damage can take a toll on businesses, and it’s important to know how to safely and efficiently clean your business. It’s also important to work with experts to repair your business after the damage occurs. By working with qualified professionals and mitigating the damage on with expert help, your business can be restored quickly. For more information, visit https://www.SERVPROsouthranchocucamonga.com

Commercial Cleaning Services for Rancho Cucamonga – Choosing the Best Restoration Company for Your Business

2/20/2019 (Permalink)

Don't Go With The Cheapest, Go With The Best

When it comes to choosing a commercial cleaning service, many Rancho Cucamonga business owners or managers aren’t sure where to begin. A quick Google search “Cleaning Rancho Cucamonga” on the subject brings up so many options in many areas, which can be overwhelming. Thankfully, we know where to begin the search and how to choose the best commercial cleaning company for Rancho Cucamonga businesses.

Start With Recommendations

It always helps to start out by asking nearby businesses for their recommendations. Which commercial cleaning services do they use? Why do they recommend that company? Or are they looking for a new one as well? Sometimes you might be able to offer a discount for referring this Rancho Cucamonga commercial cleaning company that the business next door to you uses. After all, if they can clean your offices right after they finish your neighbor’s, that’s less traveling that they’ll have to do.

Know What Questions to Ask

Once you narrow down your list of commercial cleaning companies, you’ll have to call up their owners and ask some questions. These include how often they’ll be able to clean your offices, how much they generally charge per employee that they need to send out. If they offer any other type of specialty cleanings (which we’ll get into a bit more later). You also need to inquire about references. Can they provide 3 references. Naturally this query will be stemmed from your cleaning needs, Rancho Cucamonga. Speaking of which…

Understand What Type Of Cleaning You Need

There are several things to go over here. You need to know how often your Rancho Cucamonga offices will need to be cleaned, as well as which areas should be focused on. Do you want the company to do the bathrooms and empty the trash cans every day, but only wash or vacuum the hallway floors once a week? Make these specifications clear to the commercial cleaning companies before you hire them because you’ll need to find out if they can meet your expectations.

Inquire About Specialty Services If You Need Them

If your Rancho Cucamonga business requires special services, such as additional security measures or air duct cleaning, then you need to let your potential commercial cleaning companies know about them. They need to be able to produce an accurate quote for you, one that will help you decide whether or not you want to go with them.

Don’t Just Hire the Cheapest Commercial Cleaning Company

Speaking of quotes, you’ll probably end up with quite a few from different commercial cleaning companies. You don’t want to hire the cheapest one based on price alone necessarily. Instead, pick the commercial cleaning company in Rancho Cucamonga with the best overall package. They need to be able to meet all of your cleaning needs and be highly recommended by their current clients. This means that you might end up choosing a company that charges slightly more than the lowest bid. However, that difference in price will bring value worth paying for.

A big mess

Water main broke and dirt causing lots of mud

When your commercial building floods, your first concern is finding a professional team in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, that can help you remedy the situation. You might not be thinking about finding a certified team. Instead, you simply want a team that can get the job done quickly. You know you have to act quickly, but it may still be beneficial for you to find a certified remediation team for your water cleanup.

1. Knowledgeable: Anyone who is certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification has to pass a rigorous set of exams. This means you can trust your professional to know how to handle even the most complex flooding situation. Your team's certification may make them better suited to handle content cleaning, mold removal, and other secondary tasks related to cleaning up after a broken pipe.
2. Ethical: The certification also ensures your team adheres to a certain code of ethics. This code may ensure no corners are cut when doing a water cleanup. If a team cuts corners, your restoration may not be as complete as you thought it was.
3. Insured: Before a company can receive the certification from the IICRC, the businesses must prove that it is fully and properly insured. Working with an insured business benefits you because it relieves some of the financial risks of having workers in your building. Flooding can weaken structures or cause mold growth, but an insured business takes the responsibility for these risks.
4. Licensed: Some restoration businesses follow storms across the country. These companies may not have local or state licenses, which means they don't know the local codes. A certified business, however, must meet all license requirements.

When you need to start the water cleanup process in your commercial building, you want to know that the team you call can get the job done correctly the first time around. If you choose to hire a certified company, you can trust that the experts know what they're doing.
