Commercial Cleaning for Your Business In Grand Junction

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

Most people do not have time to care about the daily wear and tear that contaminates their office or commercial establishment. However, when your typical housekeeping crew can't handle the dirt, odor, or moisture problems, call SERVPRO of Grand Junction for prompt assistance. Call us today at 970-241-8181

Whether removing an odor problem or deep cleaning flooring or carpets, you can rely on us to make your place of business look it's very best.

Carpet and Upholstery

Carpets act as a filter trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. Carpet and upholstery tend to show soiling over time.

Ceilings, Walls, and Hard Floors

Dirt and dust, pet dander, cooking oils and grease, cigarette smoke, and other contaminants may be present on your business's ceilings, walls, and hardwood floors. These toxins can be spread throughout your home by your heating and cooling system. Soils tend to collect on these materials over time, and specialized cleaning will be required to eliminate this buildup.

Professional Deodorization and Odor Removal

We are trained to detect and eliminate unwanted scents as deodorization specialists. SERVPRO of Grand Junction teaches IICRC technical classes on odor elimination. The odor can typically be eradicated without leaving a trace by identifying the source of the odor and determining the conditions under which it comes into contact with any surfaces.

Commercial Fires in Mesa County

3/28/2022 (Permalink)

Building on Fire

Even with the best fire prevention training and protocols and fire suppression systems, fires can still happen. Fire can pose a severe threat to human life, property, and assets in commercial spaces. 

SERVPRO of Grand Junction wants to share the following information about commercial fires and how safety equipment helps to lessen the damage and can assist in preventing any bodily injury. According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), one of the most common causes of commercial fires is electrical and lighting equipment. This type of fire is not easily predicted, as the lighting equipment can look excellent outside your place of business.

• There should always be a fire extinguisher in reach inside of a commercial building, and they must be checked annually to ensure they are in working order.
• If there is a lot of smoke inside the building, cover your mouth and nose and do your best not to inhale any of it.
• Building sprinklers should be examined and tested every five years.
• If an office building is on fire, exit the building immediately and do not try to fight the fire yourself.
• Wet pipe sprinklers installed in the ceilings of commercial buildings are very effective in helping to fight fires.

If a commercial building in Mesa County does catch fire, rest assured that SERVPRO of Grand Junction is prepared to help clean up any fire damage the building/area has sustained and make it "Like it never even happened''. Contact us today at 970-241-8181.

Best ways to Keep your Commercial Building Free from Mold

8/19/2021 (Permalink)

Mold can be very challenging to deal with. They can sometimes be difficult to spot, they pollute the air, and they can even threaten the structural integrity of your establishment. Once it starts, it can spread very quickly. Not only can it cause damage, but it can affect people’s health.

Mold is primarily caused by uncontrolled moisture and can grow on various surfaces, cloth, carpets, drywall, and wood. With a large commercial building keeping everyone cool or warm, condensation can form and provide the mold the moisture it needs to spread.

Regular cleanings and maintenance inspections will help keep mold from taking over the building areas that are not often used.

1. Service your HVAC unit

It’s important to ensure that the HVAC system remains clean and in good condition. If your filters are clogged up with mold spores, then every time you turn the AC on, you’ll be blowing them around the building. The vents, ducts, and the rest all need to be maintained.

When the air is not moving through the vents, dust and mold can sit there, so the room fills with it all when you turn it back on. Any amount of hair, dust, dirt, animal hair and waste, and mold can be in the vents.

2. Minimize moisture

Mold thrives on moisture. The more excess dampness you have around your commercial building, the more chances you have of ending up with a mold problem. Condensation can form during the hot months, during the cold months, at any time, and people can cause condensation.

A dehumidifier will help draw moisture out of the air. It can make a big difference in a very populated building, and turning off the heat or air conditioning is not an option, so put them in areas when moisture is prevalent. Basements, upper floors, kitchens or cafeterias, shower rooms, laundry rooms, and anywhere that has excessive moisture. Remember to check windows and doors for condensation build-up too. If you see a lot of moisture here, this could signify that you need new windows.

3. Make Repairs fast

Fixing small problems will help them from becoming big problems. Leaks in the roof or foundation, cracks in the walls, gaps around windows, taps, pipes that drip or leak, and faulty thermostats. Unfortunately, the longer that you leave problems unattended, the worse they can become.

These can all allow heat and cold air in or out, making it harder to control the humidity inside the building. Always try to catch water damage and leaks before the added moisture can cause long-term damage.

4. Stay vigilant

Mold isn’t always obvious straight away. It’s a great idea to have your maintenance team take care of regular checks and repairs but hiring a professional to inspect the building can help. They can spot areas that may be developing mold that you are not aware of.

Dark spots, fuzzy patches, musty smells can all appear anywhere. Carpets, walls, ceilings, floors, and under sinks, behind walls in shower rooms, laundry room, bathrooms, and kitchen areas.

They are also great at finding areas of potential mold too, so you can stop it before it gets a chance to start.

5. Seek professional support

Finally, remember that every commercial building often has its own unique issues and requirements to consider.

If you find mold, call in a professional team to take care of it right away. You don’t want to try and clean it by yourself. Our SERVPRO team are Professionals who have the right tools, equipment, and products to take care of it. We specialize in mold removal from residential and commercial buildings and can assist with ridding your property of any mold and residual spores.

You can trust SERVPRO of Grand Junction to take care of any mold problems you encounter in your commercial building. We are 24/7 emergency response; call us today at 970-949-3235.

SERVPRO Commercial Cleaning: COVID

8/18/2021 (Permalink)

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted our lives in several troubling ways. It has led to lockdowns, staff shortages, and inefficiencies that have impacted their bottom lines for business owners.

The virus that causes COVID-19 can land on surfaces. People can become infected if they touch those surfaces and then touch their nose, mouth, or eyes. In most situations, the risk of infection from touching a surface is low. The most reliable way to prevent infection from surfaces is to wash hands or use hand sanitizer regularly.

A Significant Problem for Businesses

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread throughout the country, businesses are grappling with employee shortages due to illness. They are also constantly haunted by the threat of government-mandated shutdowns that can make it difficult or impossible to stay operational. Even if they aren’t mandated, shutdowns can become an inevitable reality if an outbreak affects several employees. Whether they’re worried about being short-handed or ending up on the news, companies want to do everything they can to avoid uncontrolled outbreaks at their facilities.

How Commercial Cleaning Can Help

Commercial cleaning is an essential tool in the collective fight against COVID-19. Tainted work facilities put workers and customers at risk while also increasing the chances of long-term shutdowns due to unmitigated spread. Unfortunately, far too many companies fail to adequately clean and sterilize their facilities after worker tests positive for the virus.

SERVPRO Cleaned is a defensive, proactive viral pathogen cleaning program backed by more than 50 years of experience in cleanup and restoration. With an industry-leading, proprietary training program, cleaning solutions, and remediation processes, we're helping businesses across the country open safely. So, commit to keeping your employees and customers safer. Make sure your space is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned.

Benefits our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program offers:

We are fully equipped. When you hire our services, you don’t have to worry about whether we’re using the right materials, techniques, or disinfecting chemicals. Our SERVPRO Team knows which disinfectant is EPA-approved to fight COVID-19. They’ve dealt with severe, widespread contamination and know how to eliminate hazardous materials.

Our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned crews are thorough and well-trained. Commercial cleaners don’t just wipe down surfaces and fumigate the air. They are seasoned professionals who know how to assess a company’s risky, high-touch areas with a cool eye. They can do this because they’ve been trained to clean and disinfect businesses of every type. From office buildings and restaurants to hospitals and clinics, reputable commercial cleaning companies know how to clean and eliminate hazardous materials, whatever the challenges, whatever the environment.

 Why it’s Such a Good Idea.

Whether it's removing an odor problem or decontaminating your facility, you can rely on us to disinfect your business and make your workspace look it's very best.

Commercial Fire Cleanup – Grand Junction, CO

5/22/2021 (Permalink)

Commercial fires are dangerous...

Fire can strike without warning and when it hits your commercial property it can have a devastating impact on your business and your family. At times like this, you need someone you can count on to help get your business up and running again as quickly as possible. For many business owners in Grand Junction, SERVPRO has been the name they can trust for all of their commercial fire cleanup needs.

There is so much to draw people to the Grand Junction area, from the beautiful red rock landscape of the Colorado National Monument, to the shopping and cultural attractions in downtown Grand Junction, including the Avalon Theatre and the Museum of the West.

It’s no wonder that so many families have made this area their home. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family but it’s not without its potential hazards, including the threat of fire.

As part of the Grand Junction community ourselves, SERVPRO understands the importance of acting quickly when fire strikes your commercial property. We’re ready to respond faster to any disaster and provide the quality restoration service you need to get your business back on its feet.

Fighting Fire Damage

Fire damage is particularly devastating for any commercial property. There are so many ways that fire can damage a property, from the burning of flames to the pervasive covering of smoke and soot. Perhaps the worst damage of all comes from the water used in firefighting efforts, which can lead to ruined surfaces and property as well as a mold infestation.  When you’re facing this kind of damage, you need trained professionals like SERVPRO who know how to handle commercial property restoration.

While the heat from flames can destroy almost everything in its path, smoke clings to surfaces and can produce noxious odors.

It may be necessary to use industrial strength cleaners and specialized techniques to remove smoke and soot, which can find its way into even the smallest of openings.

Water damage is another challenge in commercial fire cleanup. Not only can the water used by firefighters damage surfaces, it can also weaken structures that have been damaged by flames. If standing water remains for any length of time it can compound the problem and even worse, it can lead to a mold infestation which can cause health effects. 

Giving Your Business The Care It Deserves

Your business is important since it provides for your family, so you can’t afford to trust it to any random restoration company. You need to be sure that you’re relying on the best, and that means calling the trusted professionals at SERVPRO. We’ve got the training required to provide commercial fire cleanup and as members of the Grand Junction community, we’ll be sure to give your business the care it deserves.

That care begins when you place your call. We have someone ready to answer immediately, 24 hours a day because we know that when disaster strikes you can’t afford to be left waiting. Once we have your details, we’ll have a technician arrive at your business within four hours to perform a thorough walkthrough and put together a comprehensive plan that will help make your business look “Like it never even happened.”

We’ll board up windows and cover damaged roofs with tarp in order to mitigate any continuing damage and then asses the existing damage. Any items that we feel cannot be salvaged will be pointed out to you so that you can make the final determination about their disposal and file your insurance claim. Once these initial steps are taken, we’ll then address any standing water or other hazardous debris, making sure it is removed and disposed of safely. 

Next, we’ll use our state-of-the-art equipment and professional training to ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly dried, cleaned and deodorized. Once standing water is removed, we’ll also perform a full mold remediation, paying particular attention to the HVAC system, to prevent the spread of potentially hazardous mold throughout your property.

Since we understand how important your business is to you, we go the extra mile by replacing drywall, removing and replacing carpeting and carpet pads and replacing damaged flooring. We’ll also make recommendations for any services such as roof repair or restoration of business documents that are beyond our scope.

Commercial Fire Cleanup You Can Count On

At SERVPRO we’re proud of our reputation as the top commercial restoration experts in the Grand Junction area. In order to maintain that reputation, our technicians remain up to date on all of the standards for best practices in fire restoration, water restoration, mold remediation and other techniques.

Commercial Mitigation

12/1/2020 (Permalink)

Sprinkler systems can be a common source of water damage in commercial facilities. While their benefits far outweigh their cons, both properly and improperly working sprinkler systems can contribute to a flooded facility. In this case, a fire in an adjacent building caused the sprinkler system in this building to go off over the weekend. The sprinkler shut-off was eventually found, but not until the damage had affected the facility's 36,000 sq ft. If this was your facility, what would you do?

Choose a Trained Professional

When your facility is affected, it is important to call a commercial drying specialist such as SERVPRO of Grand Junction; we understand that every hour closed leads to an hour lost of productivity and potential revenue. Commercial damage restoration produces unique challenges, so it is imperative to choose a trained professional with a proven track record. 

At SERVPRO of Grand Junction, we will respond immediately to your damage regardless of size or scope. When your facility is affected, no job is too big or too small. 

ERP-DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?

8/11/2020 (Permalink)

How quickly your company can get back to business after a hurricane, fire or flood often depends on the emergency planning done beforehand. The regular occurrence of natural disaster demonstrates the importance of being prepared for any emergency. Only 50% of businesses never reopen following a disaster. While each situation is unique, your organization can be better prepared if you plan carefully, put emergency procedures in place, and practice for all kinds of emergencies.

Basic measures business owners and managers can take to begin preparing.

Develop a Business Continuity Plan

Begin by identifying operations that are critical to survival and recovery. Then carefully assess your internal and external functions to determine which staff, material, procedures, and equipment are absolutely essential to keep the business operating.

Review of Insurance Coverage

Understand what your policy does and does not cover. Check with your provider about things such as physical losses, flood coverage, and business interruption. Inadequate coverage can lead to major financial loss.

Prepare Your Emergency Plan

Communication with your employees is central before, during, and after a disaster. Be sure to share emergency information with your staff.

Practice the Emergency Plan

The ability to evacuate workers and customers effectively can save lives. Establish evacuation producers and ensure your staff knows the route.

Secure Your Facility and Equipment

Install exit signs, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms and detectors in appropriate areas.

Improve Cyber Security

By using anti-virus software, firewalls, and secure passwords, this will better protect your business’s data and information.

How To Handle Furnace Puffback in Your Commercial Building

4/17/2020 (Permalink)

Puffback damage in Clifton, CO

If your Clifton, CO, business uses an oil furnace, there is a chance it might go through puffback, or soot discharge throughout the area. This situation creates massive puffback damage you will need to remedy fast. Protect your clients, your staff and your property by learning more about this type of incident, how to deal with it and why only professionals can handle it.

What Is Furnace Puffback?

A furnace system's puffback occurs when oil fumes or debris build up excessively before ignition. This effect creates an explosion that spreads soot all over your property, especially if you use a hot air system in your location. The collection of fumes often occurs because the oil burner fails to ignite on time. This is usually caused by a defective piece or filter that can be replaced to ensure the system functions properly.

How Is Puffback Handled?
You will need assistance and patience when handling this situation. The device needs to be fixed before handling the residue.

• Inspect the malfunctioning furnace and puffback damage
  
• Contact the insurance company and report the incident
  
• Call a certified and insured technician to repair the furnace
  
• Summon emergency restoration services to clean the affected area
  
  

No matter the size of the damage, furnace puffback requires careful assessment and multiple professionals on the case. Do not hesitate to ask for help when needed.

Why Is Puffback Cleanup Not a DIY Task?

The soot discharged after a puffback is not any ordinary substance you usually clean inside your business. Soot is an oily and sticky material that spreads very easily over surfaces yet is very difficult to remove. It can cover every object inside the location with an unpleasant black color. Restoration specialists have the necessary experience and equipment to target soot safely and effectively.
Large property damage affecting your business must be handled with care and professionalism. Investigate and summon assistance when dealing with puffback damage.

Commercial Fire Damage Crews Describe How To Clean Ceilings With A Dry Sponge

If an inferno ever ignites inside your Grand Junction ice cream shop, the problems could become excessive. Since heat rises, the flames and smoke coming from the blaze head straight up and can cause commercial fire damage to exist on your building's upper walls and ceiling. Once smoke rises and comes into contact with cooler surfaces like your ceilings, it can solidify and coat the surfaces of your contents and building materials with soils.

When working with you during your commercial fire damage project in Grand Junction, our SERVPRO technicians know that keeping your business running is essential. We also know that keeping a sanitary and clean looking atmosphere is vital to operating your ice cream store. If necessary, we can change the way we conduct our fire damage restoration procedures so that your company can continue its day to day operations. For example, if it is possible we can do the work processes overnight when your ice cream shop is closed so that our restoration procedures do not cause you a loss of revenue or affect your bottom line.

When dealing with soot residues caused by smoke, our SERVPRO technicians start with the ceiling and then we work our way down. Using a dry cleaning sponge works best when attempting to remove light to medium, non-greasy soot residues. We usually utilize dry sponge cleaning methods when we are working with porous surfaces that can get damaged if water-based solutions get used. We also sometimes dry sponge clean walls and ceilings before we wet clean them to get the majority of the soils off first.

Before we start cleaning your ceiling inside your ice cream shop with a dry sponge, we cover all of the contents inside your place of business with a canvas or plastic. Next, we use a vacuum equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air or HEPA filter or a brush to get the loose surface soot off of the affected building materials and contents inside your ice cream store. Then, we use a dry sponge with a pole attached to clean the soils from your building's ceiling.

If your ice cream shop ever suffers from a fire, call SERVPRO of Grand Junction at (970) 241-8181 24/7. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Commercial Mold Damage In Clifton

The Risk To Employee Health In Clifton

Many clients are not even aware there is a significant mold infestation until their employees report getting sick in specific areas of a building. Exposure to concentrations of mold spores can cause health-related issues.

SERVPRO can help commercial owners deal with mold damage and infestations in Clifton and surrounding areas. We're well aware of the potential health risks and can help you and your team understand the risks as well as the precautions to take.

Controlling the Growth of Mold
Mold thrives in warm temperatures above 68 degrees F and humidity levels from 65% to 85%. There are always ample food sources for mold to grow and expand. Controlling these three elements are the primary means of mold mitigation. SERVPRO focuses on the elimination of the source of moisture and then begins drying the area, taking precautions to protect other areas of the building that are not contaminated.

Removing Contaminated Materials
Mold can be harmful to your employee's health as well as our SERVPRO team. Removal of contaminated walls or flooring often can disturb mold spores, which must be contained within the area and filtered to prevent exposure to other areas of the building. Our team may utilize a variety of safety gear for protection from contamination. Our safety gear may include chemical resistant gloves, splash goggles and safety glasses, a respirator, and full-body suits are used for significant concentrations of mold.

SERVPRO takes the challenge of mold damage mitigation very seriously. We aim to protect our client's commercial buildings from further contamination as well. Heavy concentrations may also require containment barriers, clean rooms, and decontamination rooms. Porous materials contaminated with mold must be removed. We can clean nonporous materials. HEPA vacuum equipped machines must be used to filter the air. We remove structural materials if their integrity is compromised.

We can help remove all mold contaminations and return your commercial space, “Like it never even happened.”

Call SERVPRO of Grand Junction at (970) 241-8181 for 24/7 service. We proudly serve Fruita, Redlands, Loma, and surrounding areas. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

The Worst Part of Commercial Flood Damage in Grand Junction Biz Is Not the Water

8/30/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO knows it's crucial to keep your business up and running in Grand Junction.

We can stop the water loss issues as soon as they start in Grand Junction.

We know when flood damage hits a commercial property, the situation is stressful on many levels. The loss of revenue for the time the business is closed for cleanup and restoration as well as any damaged stock counted as a water loss begins to add up for property owners.

SERVPRO helped a local real estate office in Grand Junction with commercial flood damage in over half their facility with a strong water odor which was unusual when we arrive on-site so soon after a water loss occurs. Our technicians inspected the damaged area and found the core of the issue was due to repair work done on the parking lot in front of the building directing rainwater towards the building rather than away from it.

While the property owner made arrangements for an immediate solution with the contractor working on the parking lot. To avoid further damage SERVPRO:

• Set up absorbent barriers 
• Sealed off the entry with a heavy tarp to stop any additional water from entering the premises

Our technicians removed the rubber backed slip-resistant carpeting and runners for drying and disinfection outside the work area. Water extraction went quickly as the property owner began cleanup efforts so soon after the initial water loss event. Upon scoping the property, we found very little water migration into sheetrock or within wall cavities, which did not explain the smell. 

When we work on a commercial property, we try to schedule as little downtime as possible for the business during restoration. In this case, rather than packing out the affected offices, we raised the desks on blocks and dried them in place. Once dry, there was still a noticeable, musty odor left behind. 

The property owner commented before the floods the conference room had a pungent odor, and both employees and clients commented on it. They had been unable to locate the source, and we used our thermal imaging to scope the walls and floor in the area unrelated to the initial water loss event. 

We were able to pinpoint the smell to a damaged exterior wall allowing water in over an extended period and showed the property owner the repairs that the area would require and gave him a written report covering restoration services completed and repairs needed to return the property to its preloss condition. 

SERVPRO of Grand Junction is available when you need us 24/7 to clean up commercial flood damage. Call us at (970) 241-8181, and our emergency response team arrives within an hour because We're Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Hotels, Commercial Buildings, and Homes All Benefit from the Grand Junction Area SERVPRO Fire Loss Rapid Response

SERVPRO Says Safety First after a Grand Junction Hotel or Commercial Building Fire

Suppressant Cleanup after Fire Damage in a Grand Junction Hotel

Cleaning up after a fire loss incident in your Grand Junction hotel might not seem that problematic with full maintenance and custodial division crews, and with how quickly the fire itself was extinguished with suppression equipment nearby. The trouble you face now is cleaning up after the fire extinguisher, and the residue that this unit can leave on surfaces, contents, and other elements within the affected area. Even after you have achieved this, there are likely lingering fire effects that must still get addressed before your hotel can officially return to preloss condition.

As the management of a hotel in Grand Junction with fire damages, there are several necessary preventative and proactive actions that you can take to protect your property. Even shortly after the extinguishment of a fire, here are some essential time and money-saving steps that you should take:

•    Get Eyes on the Damage – Once extinguishment occurs, make sure that both hotel management and your cleaning crew have inspected the affected areas and determined the likelihood of restoration and recovery without professional assistance like our SERVPRO team.

•    Slowing the Spread – With hotels, multiple units and areas are always at risk when disaster strikes anywhere. If you cannot adequately prevent effects like odors, smoke, and soot from reaching your guests, you need to reach out to a professional service that can.

•    Limit Traffic – Even highly used areas that suffer fire damages can get bypassed under the right conditions, and you do not need guests seeing the compromised areas of your facility or spreading damaging effects to other floors and areas of the hotel.

•    Know Your Limitations – Even with anexperienced custodial staff, you might remain ill-prepared to contend with suppression residue and other fire effects. Our SERVPRO professionals can respond quickly to emergencies.

Consider possible negative reviews and feedback on social media platforms. By immediately hiring a reputable, professionally staffed team like SERVPRO, you immediately confirm to your guests that they come first.

Fire loss incidents pose a substantial risk to guests, employees, and the hotel’s reputation without the appropriate preventative actions taken quickly. If you feel the situation is out of your control, you can lean on the experience of our SERVPRO of Grand Junction restoration specialists. You can reach us anytime by calling (970) 241-8181.
