Plan now with a SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile.

The Best Way to Reduce Business Interruption Following a Disaster is to Plan For it NOW.

As many as 50% of businesses may never recover following a disaster, according to the latest industry research. Of the businesses that survive, the overwhelming majority of them had a preparedness plan in place. Pre-planning can serve as an insurance policy aimed at peace of mind. By developing a SERVPRO Emergency READY Profile (ERP) for your business, you minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action. Knowing what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

This is what is covered in our Emergency Ready Profile (ERP)

• A no-cost assessment of your facility 
• A concise Profile Document that contains only critical information needed in the event of an emergency
• A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster
• Establishes SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider
• Identification of the line of command for authorizing work to begin
• Provides Facility details such as shut-off valve locations, priority area, and priority contact information

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size disaster, whether it’s a small water leak, a large fire, or an area flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it. Call SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook at 630-573-4290.

Commercial Cleaning - Ceilings to Floors

SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook provides specialty cleaning services for your business.

Over the past year, many offices and commercial buildings had to close their doors and employees worked from home.  As we begin to return to the workplace, it is important that your commercial space is clean and ready for business as usual. 

The condition of the ceilings, walls, and hard floors are some of the most overlooked places to keep clean.  Although we are known primarily for our fire and water restoration services, SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook also provides commercial cleaning services that go way beyond the scope of a routine janitorial service.  Our restoration technicians are specially trained to clean everything from commercial office buildings and warehouses to safely removing biohazard contaminants.  

Ceilings and walls

These surfaces should be cleaned as part of a maintenance schedule to keep your business looking its best.  If you are planning to paint, we also recommend having these surfaces professionally cleaned to help the primer and paint adhere to the walls.

Hard Floors

At first glance, hard floors can look fine, but they accumulate soil over time, so it’s a good idea to have the floors professionally cleaned to remove this buildup.

Fire Extinguisher Safety tips for the workplace.

7/19/2018 (Permalink)

If you experience Fire Damage in your workplace SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook can help!

According to OSHA, the most common emergency small businesses must plan for is a fire. Fire extinguishers can be invaluable tools to help fight smaller fires in the workplace.

It is important for employees to know how to use an extinguisher properly and also know how to accurately assess a fire situation.

The PASS method is a simple training technique for fire extinguishers:

·        P - Pull the pin on the extinguisher.

·        A - Aim the hose nozzle low toward the base of the fire.

·        S - Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.

·        S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the flames until extinguished.

Fire extinguishers are meant to handle only small fires. If a fire becomes too large or the environment becomes too dangerous, employees should know when and how to evacuate the area.  If appropriate, sound the fire alarm or call the fire department immediately. 

SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook is always available to help if your business has incurred damage from a fire.  Please call us at 630-573-4290.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning.

7/17/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook will help keep your carpets clean.

Even the highest-quality items can show soiling over time. Protect your investment by calling SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook to clean and maintain your commercial carpets.

Preventative Maintenance

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet.

IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions include: 

• Regular vacuuming
• Spot removal
• Pilating the carpet to prevent matting
• Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
• Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Professional Cleaning

Professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your commercial carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months.

The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil.  Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook Professionals will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment and Professionals trained to the highest standards, call us today.

Generator Safety Tips - To Keep your Business Running

3/15/2018 (Permalink)

Keep your business running with the help of a portable generator.

In an emergency, portable generators offer lifesaving benefits when outages affect your business. They can safely power important electrical equipment such as portable heating units, computers, water pumps, freezers, refrigerators and lighting. However, portable generator use can also be very hazardous.

If you plan on using an emergency generator, it’s essential that you take precautions for your safety and the safety of those working to restore power.

Follow these tips for safe portable generator use from the NSC:

• Always read and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions before running generator.
• Engines emit carbon monoxide. Never use a generator inside your business or other enclosed areas.
• Only use your generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors.
• Use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector in the area you’re running a generator.
• Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Allow the generator engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling and always use fresh gasoline.
• Never operate the generator near combustible materials.

If you experience Storm or Water damage due to a power outage in your commercial building, do not hesitate to give SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook a call at 630-573-4290.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are free notifications delivered to your mobile device as part of a public safety system provided by authorized government-alerting authorities. The alerts are designed to inform you of imminent threats to safety or missing persons alerts in your area (e.g., AMBER Alerts). Government partners include local and state public safety agencies, FEMA, the FCC, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Weather Service. A WEA can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm’s way, without downloading an app or subscribe to a service. WEAs may be used to share extreme weather warnings, local emergencies requiring evacuation or immediate action, AMBER Alerts, and Presidential Alerts during a national emergency.

A WEA will look like a text message. The WEA message will typically show the type and time of the alert, any action you should take, and the agency issuing the alert. The message will be no more than 90 characters.

Commercial Water Cleanup in Oak Brook

1/11/2018 (Permalink)

If your business has a flooding event due to frozen water pipes, call SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook at 630-573-4290

The Chicago area has been experiencing extremely cold temperatures this past week and with the slight warm up at the end of the week, pipes began to burst.  SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook responded immediately to a commercial building in need of professional services after a broken pipe.

Here are a few tips that you can follow to prevent your commercial building from frozen pipes:

5 Steps to Preventing Burst Pipes:

1. Insulate all water pipes that run along the exterior of the building or those that are located in unheated interior spaces.
   2. Inspect water pipes on a regular basis, looking for any signs of small leaks or fatigue that could cause them to fail in a big way when the freezing temperatures arrive.
   3. Run water at a slow drip to relieve the pressure that can burst a pipe in the case that it does freeze.
   4. Check all shutoff valves and levers to make sure they are in pristine working order.
   5. Keep utilities on in vacant units- if you have vacant units, the cost of maintaining utilities in that unit will offset the cost of loss that could result from the lack of heat or water movement which causes frozen pipes and subsequent water damage.

Work Place Water Damage is Restored by SERVPRO

When business owners visualize water damage, they often picture a massive storm wiping out power lines, flooding offices, and shutting down businesses for days at a time. It is true that commercial water damage is often the result of floods and water that stems from weather events and storms. 
 
However, many entrepreneurs and business space renters forget that storms and severe weather aren't the only causes of floods and water damage. Here are some of the typical causes of water damage to commercial buildings. 
 
1. Malfunctioning sprinkler systems 
Some older office and retail buildings still have outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems. While such sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage if they are faulty or in need of replacement. This could easily damage inventory and business assets.

2. Damaged appliances and equipment 
This cause of commercial flood damage is more common in restaurants and catering facilities, as well as any business that has appliances and equipment that make use of water. If the appliance fails and sends water across your building, especially during late hours when no one is around, you may come back to work and face a water emergency. 
 
3. Broken pipes and plumbing 
Just like in a residence, if the plumbing system in your workplace fails water damage could be the result. 
 
4. Backed up sewer lines 
This is another cause of commercial water damage that often catches business owners by surprise. Should the sewer line to your building back up or become damaged, realize the potential dangers of contaminated Black Water which can ruin products and office furnishings. 
 
If your business has suffered commercial water damage, SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook will get you back up and running again. Call us anytime 24/7 at (630) 573-4290 for fast help.

Flooding in Your Business

10/18/2017 (Permalink)

a workplace flood can be devastating to your business.

The weather has been very unpredictable the past few weeks in our area.  We have experience heavy rains in a short period of time causing the sewer systems to back up and streets to flood. 

If you see there is a flash flood watch, this means that a flash flood is possible.  A flash flood warning means that a flood is about to happen or already taking place.  If a flash flood occurs, you should make sure everyone gets to higher ground as quickly as possible. 

Your business can prepare for any potential disaster, including flash floods. Keep all essential equipment and documents elevated from the floor.  Ideally, they should be stored on the second floor of the building or higher.  Back-up electronic data daily to cloud storage or to an external drive so the files can still be accessed in the event of a disaster.  

It is a good idea to have a battery-powered radio available on-site.  In case of a power outage, you and your staff can keep updated on the current conditions.  (FEMA) The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides a list of recommended supplies in the event of a disaster, such as a flashlight and first aid kit. 

You can also check with the National Weather Service to get more tips on safety during flooding. 

SERVPRO of Downers Grove / Oak Brook can help your business get back on track after flooding or other disasters.  Call us today for more information (630) 573-4290.
