Commercial job that was completed by SERVPRO of South Kenosha County this week

Commercial properties are going up left and right in Southern Kenosha County and it is our priority to be available to service any of the if there happens to be a loss at these properties. Believe it or no commercial properties are not immune to damage. In fact, some properties are more at risk due to the activity or work that is performed inside each one of these facilities. One thing that we offer to commercial property owners as a FREE service is the Emergency Readiness Profile (ERP).

An ERP is a free assessment of the facility containing critical information needed in the event of an emergency. They also give a detailed list including shut-off valve locations, priority areas and priority contact information. It’s important to us that safety is the number one priority in our work environment and we want our customers and clients to feel save if a loss were to occur. It’s only fitting that this week we finish up a commercial job as we write this specific blog.

 As you can see in the picture with this blog, disaster did indeed occur. Here at SERVPRO of South Kenosha we are ready to assist with any size disaster. Residential and Commercial properties alike, we are able bodied and ready to service a loss ranging from Water or Fire to vandalism and deodorization. One service I do want to highlight that many don’t know about is our document restoration. In a commercial space there are normally a plethora of important documents that make business go round. Important documents and photos are in good hands with SERVPRO. We have technicians trained in packing out documents and transferring them to the document restoration facility. We use state of the art tech and methods like document freeze drying to make sure your important documents and photos are restored “Like it never even happened”. Make us your first choice as your one stop shop for restoration.

Commercial Buildings are a very important matter when any type of loss happens. Whether it is from fire, water Leak, or even biohazard such as a virus type breakout, because the loss and overall situation really can affect so many people in just a day!

Although this is true, the problem still needs assistance just as quickly! SERVPRO is always ready to be at the facility within a short time. SERVPRO always comes with a resolution and complete plan, and a team of skilled experts who can all work together to make any mess, "Like it never even happened."

Do Carpeted Floors Increase the Urgency of Water Cleanup for you Office?

6/6/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of South Kenosha responds quickly to water damage to help prevent more damage.

Water damage can happen at any time: day or night. Timing can complicate your decision on handling the damage, because it could be right before a busy day, or at the end of the day. Water damage can take some time to restore, so you may decide to wait until its more convenient.  It is not ideal to wait when it comes to water damage.

Carpet, for example, can absorb water quickly, and when left wet over extended periods, structural damages occur that lead to the disintegration of their layered construction. By waiting, carpeting that could have been restored, may have to be disregarded. Our water restoration technicians have experience handling carpets and understand the details of water damage to carpeting.

Carpeting is made of various materials including fibers like nylon, wool, polypropylene, or polyester. The primary backing is made from thermoplastic or latex adhesive, while the secondary backing is made from jute or polypropylene. This layered construction is one of the reasons you should not delay water damage restoration in your office. When exposed to moisture for a prolonged period, the adhesives holding the primary fibers deteriorate, leading to irreversible damage, such as delaminating. Stains and foul odors also develop.

When you call SERVPRO of South Kenosha County, we are ready to respond. We offer emergency services 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, even on holidays.

Call us at (262) 332-7044 and we will come up with a plan that minimalizes the impact to your business’s busy schedule.

Trust SERVPROXIDE to Disinfect Your Commercial Space

8/26/2021 (Permalink)

One of our products SERVPROXIDE is our proprietary hospital grade disinfectant registered with the EPA. It is a stabilized chlorine dioxide-based antimicrobial which carries the EPA’s lowest toxicity rating. The product itself doesn’t carry any fragrance other than a mild cleaning odor which dissipates quickly making it a great product for people with chemical or odor sensitivities.

There are many different applications for SERVPROXIDE. It can eliminate odors through disinfecting and oxidation rather than just covering them up. That can be done by applying the product directly with towels or through misting or spraying which is often used when we clean HVAC systems. It has even been utilized in electrostatic spraying for an even application on surfaces inside buildings.

In fact, SERVPROXIDE is the disinfectant we have used when we have been asked to clean and disinfect COVID-19 in homes and businesses here in South Kenosha and throughout Kenosha Counties.

The CDC recommends the usage of labeled hospital-grade disinfectant with claims against similar types of organisms to COVID-19 and SERVPROXIDE has EPA-approved claims against things like Feline coronavirus, Canine coronavirus, staphylococcus, E. coli, Salmonella, Rotavirus, and Swine flu.

When you use SERVPRO South Kenosha, you can have a piece of mind knowing that our team is using hospital-grade disinfectant with the EPA. Our chemists are even able to advise us in unorthodox situations to utilize our suite of cleaning products to clean and deodorize even the strongest and strangest combination of smells and soils.

Containments are Important Too

5/19/2020 (Permalink)

This containment was build on an multiple unit fire job. Containments are for all types of losses: fire, water, mold, biohazard, etc.

At SERVPRO of South Kenosha County we strive to help keep your business running while we handle the disaster. It is a goal of our company to keep you the most operable while we do our job properly as well. One way to separate the noise and environment of the loss from your workplace production is to set up a containment. This contraption will keep that environment within limits or controlled by our set up. This photo is showing one of our finely built containments, by our highly trained crew. This is one of the first steps production makes when coming on scene. While the managers and leaders are off talking through the scope, the physical work begins. This is an important step to begin with. Almost all commercial losses will see some type of containment set up based on the building layout.

Area containment is very helpful in the loss process, what you can’t see, still exists. First and foremost it has the ability to prevent further damage to health and even property. Mitigating, or reducing the severity, by taking these steps truly play a huge part in getting the job done properly and efficiently.

If you have questions about containment or anything in general, call the office and ask for Marcella. (:

Fire Extinguishers in the Work Place

4/15/2019 (Permalink)

Fire extinguishers in the work place are required by law, but also an essential safety tool that could assist in a disaster, if it were to ever strike. Many don’t realize that there are many different types of office fire extinguishers depending on your office needs.

The amount and class of extinguishers you need with depend on the square foot of your office area and the types of material you have inside. The local fire marshal will stop in periodically to make sure your equipment is up to date and that you are enforcing all the fire codes.

I am going to break down the different types of fire extinguishers and the classes that each can put out.

CLASSES:

• COMMON COMBUSTIBLES: Wood, Paper, Cloth, etc.
• FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS AND GASES: Gasoline, Propane, and Solvents
• LIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT: Computers, Fax, Machines
• COMBUSTIBLE METALS: Magnesium, Lithium, Titanium
• COOKING MEDIA: Cooking oils and Fats

Water Fire Extinguishers – Class A

Foam Fire Extinguishers- Class A & B

CO2 Fire Extinguishers- Class B & C

Powder Fire Extinguishers- Class A, B, & C

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers- Class K

Check out your office fire extinguisher and see if you are prepared if a disaster were to strike. Depending on the size of your business, ask you maintenance man, owner, or manager if your business is equipped.

Call our office with any questions!
