Water Damage Restoration of Commercial Properties in Santa Ana

11/13/2022 (Permalink)

Regardless of how the water damage in your commercial setting occurred, team SERVPRO offer drying and water removal services. Call our team today.

Making a Rapid Recovery after a Water Damage Event

A tiny opening in your Santa Ana business’s roof or a leaky sprinkler can have everyone walking in a few inches of water. You need a rapid response from a professional restoration service to protect your building from water damage.

SERVPRO’s specialists make it all “Like it never even happened.” We know that water damage in Santa Ana destroys a building’s structure, but it can also disrupt normal routines, shrinking  profits, and create slip-and-fall issues. Studies have shown that a fast response can significantly increase a business’ successful recovery.

Many businesses permanently close after a disaster. SERVPRO knows how to guide companies through the entire restoration process. SERVPRO’s role in helping businesses faced with water damage includes the following:

  • Extraction of standing water, followed by controlled drying,
  • Protection of equipment and inventory, 
  • Preliminary odor control,
  • Refurbishing of furniture and other textiles, and
  • Rebuilding the interior.

Removing the water and re-establishing dry conditions must happen in a way that prevents over-drying, as well. A lack of humidity can create fine cracks in wood paneling, increased static electricity, and other issues.

Preventing additional damage to your business’ equipment and its inventory keeps losses from accumulating. If necessary, our IICRC-certified technicians can provide temporary warehousing services, including packing and creating a list of everything. Doing so helps locate anything you need before we return these items to your business.

Controlling the odors left behind by water-soaked floors and walls can require several applications and methods. We always discuss the most practical situations, as every situation is different.

Cleaning the upholstery covering your waiting room chairs or removing stains in carpeting from dampened furniture legs reduces total restoration costs significantly, as these items require a considerable investment.

Removing water-soaked drywall and other wet materials assists us in drying and makes it easier to reinstall new materials. Whenever possible, we opt to restore materials instead of replacing them.

Calling SERVPRO of Santa Ana South | SERVPRO of Santa Ana North at (714) 558-7772 is the first step in preventing long-term problems when water damage makes a mess of your business.

Help for Water Damaged Visitor Attractions in Santa Ana

7/13/2022 (Permalink)

If the Old Courthouse Museum or other museum in Santa Ana suffers from a water damage event, the best recourse is to contact SERVPRO.

Team SERVPRO Arrives on the Scene With BOTH the Certified Technicians and the Equipment to Dry Out Your Water Damaged Attraction

Santa Ana is home to a wide range of museums and historic buildings maintained for the education and delight of visitors and the pride of local residents. When water harms one of these institutions, the entire community loses an essential dimension of what the city represents. Our team of disaster restoration specialists awaits your call for assistance. 

Older homes repurposed as museums and learning centers make the visitor's experience unique. Commercial water damage in Santa Ana to these local treasures is a loss to the owner and the community. Because the public visits these buildings, the city's reputation as an exciting and desired destination depends on how accessible and inviting the attractions are. The crews we dispatch understand you need a speedy resolution to water damage, preferably completed with as little disruption to the venue's operation as possible. 

Resist the temptation to wait until a slow season to complete the water removal and structural drying process. SERVPRO can devise a plan that respects your need to keep as much of the attraction in operation as possible during restoration. Waiting for risks secondary damage, including mold growth and continuing deterioration of the structural components. For example, if carpeting does not receive thorough in-place drying, including the padding and subfloor, the carpet repeatedly saturates, revisiting the water damage scenario. 

We arrive ready to assess and restore, fully stocked with multiple pumps, and extractors on our green SERVPRO service vehicles. Our IICRC-trained technicians immediately implement the plan our experienced crew chief designed. A fundamental task is moisture metering and monitoring, combined with infrared scanning that reveals hidden water caches. As water removal proceeds, the drying goals for various areas of the establishment are established based on the initial moisture levels recorded for the building materials. 

Air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers move in to reduce the moisture content fast. SERVPRO technicians position the equipment to achieve the most efficacious results, seeking a balance of drier air, movement, and temperature to move liquid water out of materials into the air as vapor. The vapor is then condensed or absorbed for removal. We evaluate the situation and create smaller drying chambers constructed with vapor barriers like heavy-duty plastic sheeting. Drying proceeds faster, and unaffected or previously dried spaces are available for routine business purposes. 

Finding a reliable, professional commercial disaster company is crucial to preserving and protecting historic buildings and museums. SERVPRO of Santa Ana South and SERVPRO of Santa Ana North has the expertise and the equipment to make it happen. Call (714) 558-7772 to set up an assessment.

Regulating Soot Threats in Santa Ana Warehouses

1/12/2022 (Permalink)

Regardless of the type of damage in your business, SERVPRO of Santa Ana South is ready to jump into the damage.

Post-fire effects can severely damage or ruin stocked inventory in Santa Ana facilities.

Warehouses and manufacturing facilities are plentiful throughout the city and its surrounding areas. When situations like fire damages threaten these structures, it is up to our experienced team of restorers to help. The rapid response of our SERVPRO team ensures that we can help protect contents and wares at risk of severe damage.  

Relocating At-Risk Items

One of the earliest forms of fire damage mitigation for Santa Ana warehouses is to relocate these items to a safe place in the building or load them onto production trucks in our Green Fleet and store them at our SERVPRO headquarters.

Off-Site Recovery Solutions

Between the surface soot damage and other effects like harsh malodors, off-site restoration and cleanup at our SERVPRO facility are often among the best options. The size of our building can accommodate a large collection of relocated items, inventoried and cataloged for quick access by the customer when necessary.  

Cleaning Surfaces in the Building

Even with much of the inventory and wares taken care of, our SERVPRO team must still clean up the structure. Walls, floors, and high ceilings can all be coated with thick smoke residues. We inspect the grounds thoroughly to decide on the most efficient and effective restoration and recovery solutions. The choice in approach to clean smoke residues has much to do with their composition. We can offer:

  • Wet cleaning with solvents
  • Dry cleaning with chem sponges
  • Abrasive cleaning with media blasting machines
  • Man-lifts and scaffolding where needed

Fires encompass some of the most destructive sequences that commercial properties like warehouses are ever likely to experience. Because of how fast combustion can create volatile compounds and carcinogens like soot, cleaning should begin as soon as possible. Our experienced SERVPRO of Santa Ana South team is ready to mitigate fire losses when you call (714) 558-7772.

Water Damage Potentially The Most Destructive Loss To Your Santa Ana Restaurant

1/12/2022 (Permalink)

Dealing with fire and water damage at the same time is hard. Call SERVPRO of Santa Ana South we are prepared for the challenge.

SERVPRO Provides Many Restaurants in Santa Ana Fast Water Removal to Mitigate Damages

When businesses in Santa Ana plan for a disaster the focus might be on fire or wind damage, over even a cyber attack. In fact, one of the most destructive events that your company can endure is damage from water incursion. Water damage has many facets and ways that it presents, but we have the trained technicians and specialized equipment to handle any problem that comes your way.

After a small kitchen fire in your Santa Ana restaurant blazed, the extent of the water damage shocked you and your staff. Your kitchen team responded quickly to the fire, but the sprinkler system kicked in, flooding the dining area. Then there is the mess from the powdered layer in the kitchen. When we respond, we have a plan for the fire residues but expect us to concentrate first on the water damage.

Water damage abatement is first in line during SERVPRO’s restoration or safety, and the proclivity moisture has for encouraging secondary damage such as mold growth. Slip and fall injuries due to standing water or even puddling, according to the National Safety Council, cost U.S. businesses over $70 billion in medical expenses and workers’ compensation per year. In your restaurant, you also expose customers to the risk and everyone to the possibility of electric shock.

If water damage remains unmediated for 24 to 48 hours, mold growth is a significant danger. Adding water to the mold spores always present in an interior gives microbial colonies they needed to multiply. The food, paper products, wood, and cellulose-based wallboard that is everywhere in your space provide nourishing surfaces for mold to grow. If SERVPRO is on the site immediately, we emphasize removing the water and drying out these elements before mold spores get a chance to germinate and spread.

Water also crumbles drywall, soaks insulation, and causes wood floors to warp and buckle. Speedy action by our SERVPRO employees halts the deterioration and can save that gorgeous polished hardwood you chose for the warm and friendly ambiance in your restaurant. We use pumps and extractors always loaded on our service vehicles to evacuate the water fast, often before the building materials are damaged past the point of no return.

We are a full-service disaster restoration firm, so our crew begins the fire damage repair as soon as we have a firm grasp on the water recovery. SERVPRO considers water and fire damage to be our core services, and you can rely on our training and experience to provide high-quality assistance for the full spectrum of tasks you need to be completed to make it “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO of Santa Ana South inspires confidence in our water damage clients because of our employees’ experience and certifications. Contact us at (714) 558-7772 to start the process of restoration from all damage your business suffers.

They Should Hire SERVPRO to Handle Commercial Fire Repair in Santa Ana

In commercial facilities, the risk of a fire is high because of loose wires, defective electrics, or faulty equipment that can cause sparks or overheat. The damage a fire causes can be devastating to any business. At SERVPRO, we have a specialized and well-trained team ready to handle the damage. We can help you get back into business since we understand how essential it is to protect your investment.

We can perform proper commercial fire cleanup in your Santa Ana property using our advanced equipment. The extent of fire damage, whether structural or aesthetic, determines the amount of work that our technicians must perform to restore a business space to its normal condition. Safety and the proper procedures are priorities for SERVPRO’s Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technicians (FSRT).

The fire restoration services we offer

To restore your commercial facility, our technicians can conduct the following activities:

  • Removing debris
  • Ventilating the building to draw out soot and dust from the air.
  • Thermal fogging to eliminate odors
  • Full reconstruction

Performing cleaning during fire damage restoration means eliminating smoke residues and deodorizing smoke smells. Our SERVPRO team can loosen soils from affected surfaces using four actions, namely:

  • Mechanical action
  • Lubrication
  • Suspension and dispersion
  • Chemical action

When smoke residues adhere to surfaces, we use mechanical action as the first step in pre-cleaning dry and non-greasy residues from surfaces before applying solvent-based or water-based cleaning products.

To remove airborne particles, gases, and odors from the air, our SERVPRO restorers can use air scrubbers. These devices draw dirty indoor air through a series of filters to capture odors, gases, and particles. They then exhaust clean air back in the property. HEPA filters can capture particles that are as small as 0.3 microns.

SERVPRO of Santa Ana South | SERVPRO of Santa Ana North can help you recover from commercial fire damage. Call us any time at (714) 558-7772. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Unfortunately, wildfires are part of life in our area. SERVPRO can restore any damage your business might incur.

SERVPRO Helps Santa Ana Warehouses with Fire Damage Restoration

Santa Ana is a lively California city that is the second largest in Orange County, with a population of 332,318. Santa Ana is conveniently located in Los Angeles and is a large commercial center with plenty to see and do. 

Spanish military officer Gaspar de Portolá led an expedition from Mexico City to California in 1769. Junipera Serro, a Friar, named the area Vallejo de Santa Ana, which translates to Valley of St. Anne. Several missions were established in the area. 

After the Mexican-America war ended in 1848, California became part of the United States. In later years, Santa Ana became prominent in the aviation industry and grew in size and influence. The city suffered a downturn during the 1980s. But there were many efforts to revitalize the city center, and it is now thriving once again. 

Explore the Arts in Santa Ana

The arts are essential to Santa Ana's ongoing success. A significant initiative between Santa Ana and the California State University, Fullerton, used the arts to encourage growth. The city purchased the university's Grand Central Art Center for $7.5 million, and the two organizations worked together to create the Santa Ana Artists Village around the Center. The project encouraged young artists to move into live-work lofts and run their businesses while enjoying life in an arts community. 

Art lovers will find plenty to see and do in Santa Ana: 

  • There are murals in many places downtown – keep an eye out for them!
  • You can see the beautiful Chiarini Fountain, which was designed to honor Santa Ana's artists and their contribution to the downtown area's success.
  • Visit Bowers Museum, which is home to more than 100,000 artifacts and pieces of art. The museum heavily features Native American Art and works from Mesoamerica. You can also see beautiful examples of California's famous "plein-air" art. Plein-air means created outside.
  • El Centro Cultural de México preservers and celebrates Mexican culture through art, displays, classes, and programs.

Family Adventures Near Santa Ana 

Santa Ana is an ideal destination for families, being close to several well-known attractions:

  • Santa Ana Zoo is home to many animals – including plenty of primates! Joseph Prentice donated the zoo's land because there be at least 50 monkeys in residence at all times.
  • Disneyland is, of course, one of the most famous theme parks in the world and well worth a visit.
  • Knott's Berry Farm started life as a roadside stand selling berries and is now a popular theme park with many different rides to enjoy.

Why Media Blasting is Useful During Warehouse Fire Damage Restoration 

Santa Ana is known for the Santa Ana winds, strong, dry winds that bring hot weather, especially in the fall. Unfortunately, the Santa Anas can cause wildfires, and so local businesses need to be prepared for that.

If your warehouse needs fire damage restoration, SERVPRO is here to help. We have many tools at our disposal for fire and smoke cleanup. One tool that is especially good for warehouses is media blasting, in which we blast tiny particles of baking soda at exposed wood or brickwork. Media soda blasting is helpful because: 

  • It is gentle enough not to harm surfaces while still removing soot.
  • It is more environmentally friendly than more chemical options.
  • We can reach large and hard to get to places.

If your warehouse needs some fire damage restoration, call SERVPRO of Santa Ana South, SERVPRO of Santa Ana North at (714) 558-7772.

How Difficult Is Remediating Category 1 Water Damage?

12/14/2020 (Permalink)

Commercial water damage in Santa Ana, CA

If your business in Santa Ana, CA, has experienced flooding or water damage, you may be wondering how extensive it is and how long it will take to clean up. Sometimes the answer depends on the flooding source. Clean water damage is different than that of contaminated water. Damage generally fits into three categories.

What Is Category 1 Water Damage?

Damage from this category is not contaminated by bacteria or microorganisms. Examples of category 1 water include sources such as:

  • Supply line
  • Broken water heater
  • Leaking appliance
  • Sink overflow


Category 1 water is the easiest to clean, as it is less invasive than other categories. It is usually less time consuming to remediate.


What Are the Other Categories of Water Damage?
Category 2 water, or gray water, contains microorganisms. Sources include broken sump pumps, toilets or seepage. Black water, or category 3 water, contains bacteria and comes from sources like sewage or standing water that has become contaminated.


What Are the Steps to Cleaning Category 1 Water?
If carpet is wet, remediation technicians will remove the clean water through either a portable extractor or a truck-mounted extractor, depending on the size of the affected area. If the pad is soaked, the carpet may need to be lifted and the pad removed for drying or replacement. Foam carpet pads act essentially as sponges when wet and will hold lots of water.
If damage resulted from a broken pipe in the ceiling or if lower floors are affected, technicians may use hygrometers or other moisture-detecting equipment to check the extent of saturation. Infrared cameras can find unseen water behind ceilings or walls.
Finally, air movers and dehumidifiers will be brought into the area to increase evaporation and dry surfaces more quickly.
If your business in Santa Ana, CA, has experienced flooding from clean water, consider calling professional remediation specialists to mitigate the damage. They are trained to find hidden water sources and quickly begin the drying process so you can get back to business.

How To Carry Out Effective Preventive Maintenance for Your Plumbing

11/8/2020 (Permalink)

Preventive maintenance is the process of continuously checking systems in order to avert issues

Here Are Two Ways To Perform Preventive Maintenance Effectively

Ensuring an effective plumbing system is a priority for any responsible building owner in Santa Ana, CA. This is why carrying out preventive maintenance is essential. Preventive maintenance is the process of continuously checking systems in order to avert issues. Completing this successfully can help to avoid significant plumbing problems. .

Have a Thorough Professional Inspection
You may be tempted to carry out an initial inspection yourself, but you will save far more money by ensuring a disaster is prevented. The last thing a building owner wants is a broken pipe or a leaking water heater. Find a plumber with positive service testimonials to complete a rigorous walk-through. Just to be safe, these are a few important things that should be inspected:

  • Water pressure
  • Water heater
  • Corrosion
  • Valves
  • Drain flow
  • Leaks

Once you're sure that a proper inspection has been completed, ask for a detailed report of your building's condition.

Create a Plan For Maintenance
The next step is to make a plan to keep your plumbing system in tact. The plumber's inspection can't be your only preventive measure for damages. First, identify what needs special attention. For instance, if a water main needed repairs, be sure that its condition is checked frequently. Next, make a schedule for basic examinations. Everything looked at in the initial inspection should be surveyed on a regular basis. Numerous issues can crop up over time. This is particularly important if your building relies on water. A spa, for example, would greatly suffer if it experienced unexpected plumbing problems.
Plumbing maintenance may seem tedious, but it's vital for your building's welfare. Water damage can be a serious problem if it isn't properly mitigated. Pay attention to what the plumber checks so you can properly maintain everything. If you do have plumbing problems, these actions will encourage help from your insurance provider when hiring a water damage restoration company. When you inspect your building, make plumbing a priority for everyone involved.

Understanding How Water Damage Is a Result of Fire Damage

4/12/2020 (Permalink)

The primary contributor to water damage is the fire hoses used during rescue operations

Three Causes Of The Resulting Flood After A Fire

Many business owners think the worst thing about surviving a fire is the fire damage to their building, but many owners underestimate the extent of water cleanup and salvaging that also occurs. Restoration companies in Santa Ana, CA, will tell you that water damage is a real threat and a natural part of the fire cleanup process. There are at least three causes of the resulting flood after a fire.

  1. Fire hoses
  2. Water lines
  3. Suppression systems

Fire Hoses

The primary contributor to water damage is the fire hoses used during rescue operations. While these tools are essential to extinguishing the flames in your property, they also push out hundreds of gallons per minute, and not all of that water will evaporate with the heat of the blaze. Most of the liquid will settle on the floors of the affected spaces, likely contributing to further damage to electronics and woodwork.

Water Lines

What material are your facility’s pipes made from? PVC may not stand a chance in a hot, prolonged fire, but copper water lines may survive. In either case, the heat from the fire is likely to cause pressure to build in the water lines. If releasing the pressure is not possible, your lines may burst, leading to an extensive water cleanup.

Suppression Systems

The fire suppression system you use can also contribute to water damage in the facility. If you have a water-based system, it automatically turns on when sensing heat. Some systems force all sprinkler heads on and others only turn on those heads in the affected areas. To control the amount of damage your building sustains, invest in a selective system.
Water cleanup is an inevitable part of fire restoration, like smoke cleanup. However, the amount of cleanup depends on the size of the fire, damage to existing water lines and the suppression system installed. If you would like to discuss fire prevention systems, contact your local fire department or disaster mitigation specialist.

Combating Challenges that a Commercial Fire Damage Incident in Santa Ana Presents to A Convention Center

Fire can be devastating primarily when a major incident affects a property. Even after minor incidents, the damage sustained can have long-term implications for the structure or for the occupants who enter the building. If improperly handled, commercial fire damage in a convention can lead to several issues that end up affecting normal business operations later.

A commercial fire damage incident in Santa Ana is likely to involve heavy smoke residues because of the materials burnt. Synthetic materials such as foam and plastic in items such as mattresses, chairs, and other accessories in the convention center produce thick smoke when burnt. Although such residues adhere mostly to surfaces, they can also reach into hidden areas where they can continue causing problems long after the fire incident is resolved. Our SERVPRO technicians take time to clean easily accessible surfaces as well as the hidden areas to prevent any long-term problems.

When people spend time at a convention center, they expect pristine conditions and a relaxing environment to conduct their business. If traces of soot and other smoke residues remain hidden within the structure, it is challenging to guarantee such conditions. The residues can dislodge from the hidden areas and then circulate the premises through air movements. Smoke residue particles in the air can cause respiratory issues or irritation to the eyes and skin. Our SERVPRO technicians use cleaning methods that address all hidden residues. Apart from dry sponge cleaning, we also vacuum or use compressed air cleaners on fire damaged areas to help remove residues from hidden crevices.

Smoke can easily find a way into the HVAC system, especially if it is on during the fire. Residue deposits in the ventilation system can lead to unending problems to the indoor air quality. Our crews can help inspect and clean up the HVAC system if disassembly is not necessary. In case there are sections of the duct system that we cannot clean, we apply other solutions such as duct sealing to prevent problems.

Minor issues that develop after a fire can ruin the reputation of your business. Call SERVPRO of Santa Ana South at (714) 558-7772 to help with cleanup, making it, "Like it never even happened."

Is Water Damage Being Store At Your Santa Ana Warehouse?

Don't let water damage ruin your inventory. Call SERVPRO today!

Tips for Handling Commercial Water Damage in Your Santa Ana Warehouse

Water damage caused by burst pipes is bad enough in any commercial property, but in a warehouse, the stakes are higher. The water can ruin stored merchandise, materials, and tools. The action of the water can also ruin the wood used to build internal walls, storage areas, and shelves.  

When there’s commercial water damage in your Santa Ana warehouse, you need to take fast action to remove the water and dry the affected areas. Water can make existing damage in your warehouse like cracks worse. Small cracks in the floors, ceilings, walls can allow moisture to enter. As the temperature changes, the moisture can ruin your entire facility as it contracts and expands.  

High humidity can lead to mold growth, which can cause health effects. To deal with water loss in your warehouse, you need to stop the leak first and then pump out the water and drain the affected areas. The professionals at SERVPRO can assist you in handling the water loss and restoring your warehouse to its preloss condition. Our technicians can assess the damage and then take steps to extract the standing water.  

We can use powerful high pressure pumps to remove the water quickly. We have portable pumps and shop-vacs that enable our technicians to reach all the affected areas. If there’s a lot of standing water, we can use truck mounted pumps to extract it, since they are more potent than portable pumps.  

After pumping out the water, our SERVPRO technicians begin the drying process. We can place commercial grade air movers at various locations to draw out water from building materials. These machines provide high-speed circulation of air masses, activating the process of moisture separation from all affected surfaces. When air moves across these surfaces, it increases evaporation. We then use dehumidifiers to pull out the moisture from the air, which helps reduce the likelihood of negative consequences. We monitor each stage of the drying process carefully and perform measurements to control the humidity levels in the warehouse.  

When dealing with water damage in a warehouse, SERVPRO of Santa Ana South is the right company to call. Contact us today at (714) 558-7772. Our remediation experts have the capabilities and training to restore your warehouse safely and effectively. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

At Last, the Secret to Successful Commercial Fire Damage Remediation in Santa Ana is Revealed

4/14/2019 (Permalink)

When fire damage occurs in your electronics repair shop, the situation needs fast mitigation services. Contact our IICRC certified technicians.

Steps that Lead to Better Response After Commercial Fire Damage in Santa Ana

If you sell or repair electronics, a fire at your businesses premises can lead to substantial losses and major inconveniences. The initial steps taken immediately after putting out the fire can limit the inconveniences and help your business recover faster. Our fire damage restoration services help businesses mount a proper response.

Evaluating the level of loss immediately after commercial fire damage in Santa Ana helps point the restoration process in the right direction. During inspection our SERVPRO technicians determine the level of damage on building materials and fixtures such as cabinets and counters among others. If the damage is restricted to specific areas, we help you take measures such as boarding up or creating exclusion zones allowing you to serve customers as we restore the damages.

In many fire incidents, significant amounts of water are pumped into the building to suppress the flames. If any standing water or excess moisture remains in the structure, it can cause many problems including high levels of relative humidity, bad odor or even mold. We have IICRC certified WRT, Water Restoration Technicians, who extract water fast and take other measures to eliminate excess moisture “Like it never even happened.”

Most fire incidents ruin electrical outlets and power cables. Such damage can affect the restoration process because some of the steps involved require power, heat or light. Even when there is no visible damage in the electrical systems, switching them on before they are checked can lead to short-circuits. We have portable generators in our production trucks allowing us to operate all equipment immediately after arrival at the loss site. Our technicians also have electric circuit testers for preliminary checks of electric circuits in case you need to turn power on.

In case of fire damage incidents, SERVPRO of Santa Ana South can help you respond the right way. You can reach us at (714) 558-7772 any day. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Commercial Fire Damage Restoration For Your Santa Ana Repair Shop

There are many precautions against fire that you need to take in your Santa Ana automobile repair shop. There are plenty of chemicals and equipment that could spark a fire if used or stored improperly, and if you have any attached buildings, there are other precautions you can take to protect them in case a fire breaks out.

Fire damage in your Santa Ana business must be taken care of right away. Even if the fire was small, you must deal with not only the damage to your shop and machinery but possibly customers’ vehicles as well. SERVPRO, as a professional restoration company, can help you any time you need in a situation like this. Our experts can also help you talk with your insurance company to ensure that you get all the coverages you need.

The first precaution you need to take in your shop is storing hazardous and flammable liquids in the proper containers that are approved by either the State Fire Marshall or the US Department of Transportation. All lids should be sealed and tight-fitting, and all containers, flammable cabinets, and tanks should be labeled with what materials they contain and the hazard they present. Ensure that there is no excessive spoilage or leaks in waste or chemical storage areas as well.

Part of our fire damage restoration services includes cleaning your structure, which focuses on getting rid of any smoke residues and deodorizing odors given off by these residues. We consult with your insurance adjuster to determine which structural components can be cleaned and which ones cannot. Replacement or repair is needed for any materials that do not respond well to cleaning.

If your building has attached structures, you should have two-hour firewalls between the garage area and the rest of the structure. Fire doors need to be equipped with automatic closures and all openings in ceilings and walls sealed. A 40BC extinguisher needs to be available, as well as 10BC extinguishers every fifty feet. Your employees all need to be trained on how to use the fire extinguishers and signs posted over each one. Emergency exits and aisles should be clear, with exit signs posted over the doors.

How to keep your business open during a disaster

5/23/2018 (Permalink)

Many situations can cause a business owner to seek professional water removal services. A burst pipe, a storm, and faulty appliances are typical examples of things that can cause flooding inside of the building of your business. It can get particularly acute if this water accumulates overnight while you were at home during closed hours. A severe storm hits, the window breaks, and then water is everywhere by the next day when you get to work. It is entirely too much water for you to handle by yourself, but fortuitously, there is a professional help that you can contact close to your establishment.

Stagnant water should be removed from your Santa Ana South kitchen store as soon as possible. The longer it sits, the more the surrounding structures can absorb the water. Excessive moisture and flooded water can lead to complications such as rot, mold, and the warping of building materials. The equipment that you sell could also be in danger, stoves and appliances can rust, any foodstuffs can get waterlogged, and the water can ruin packaging. 
 
At SERVPRO, we know how important it is to have your establishment open according to its schedule. Every hour the doors are closed is another hour of lost business. When we receive your all, we aim to get to your property as soon as we can so we may get your doors back open the very same day, if it is possible. 
 
SERVPRO can address the water removal with tools like extractors, wet/dry vacuums, and pumps. Extractors can be truck-mounted if there is an excessive amount of water on your property. All of these devices use suction to remove the water. Using these tools allows our techs to get the rainwater or plumbing failure liquid out of your building as fast as possible so we can address the drying. 
 
Our SERVPRO techs can use many different tools to address drying out the structure of your business. A few common ones are axial fans, dehumidifiers, and air movers. They are all designed to move fresh air around excessively damp places to create an environment of evaporation and water vapor capture.
 
If you are in dire need of water removal on your property, do not delay. Phone SERVPRO Santa Ana South at (714)558-7772. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Giving Back !

This year SERVPRO as a whole donated $20,000.00 to the Canine Angels Service Team. Our leader Tom got to participate in such a rewarding event! Here is a photo of Tom with two of the canines and the $20,000.00 check. Canine Angels Service Teams fills a unique niche in the service dog world by providing specially trained service dogs, at no cost, to children as young as 5.  In their program, older children that demonstrate they can control the dog may qualify for public access to enhance their life experiences and maximize the benefits of having a dedicated canine companion.  In addition to providing companionship and unconditional love, their carefully selected and professionally trained dogs make a positive lifetime impact on children in becoming more self-sufficient, productive members of society as they reach adulthood.  In helping these children, Canine Angels service team doesn't measure their success by counting how many receive their dogs.  They focus on short, intermediate, and long-term observable outcomes designed to have a positive, life-time impact on the children. SERVPRO feels so honored to be able to donate to such a unique and caring cause.
