The Down and Dirty about Mold in your Kalamazoo, MI Business

4/7/2023 (Permalink)

What can endure harsh environments, gives off a musty odor and consumes protein like it's going out of style?  If you guessed mold, you guessed right! Mold is more than just an unsightly wall decal, it is a living substance.  When going to combat with these pesky intruders, it is vital to have the professionals on your side.

Mold spores are stealthy; they are not visible to the naked eye.  They are bottom feeders.  Mold can live off of anything from animal dander to drywall, and anything in between. They spread rapidly.  Mold is not finicky; it can grow just about anywhere.  

Our experts at SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo are trained in the art of mold annihilation. We have the specialized tools and equipment to strike fear into any mold that dared to enter your business.  By the time we are finished with it, one might say it's "Like it never even happened!"

Winter Maintenance Tips for Commercial Buildings in Kalamazoo, MI

11/16/2021 (Permalink)

If you are needing a commercial cleaning company to clean your winter grime, call us today at (269) 342-2366.

Welcome to another winter in Kalamazoo, MI, the season of bitter cold, freezing rain, and blowing snow. A season that all you do is hunker down and hibernate until Spring. Unfortunately, that is unable to happen, and work must go on! It is important to make sure that your commercial building is ready for the cold winter weather. Here are several tips to make sure that your building is winter safe:

• Inspect your heating systems: When the weather changes and your turn on your heating system it is important to have it inspected and that all maintenance is done. If there is buildup in the flue-pipe or vent than there is chance of carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Set your Thermostats: It is important to make sure that your employees are warm during the winter, but its’s also imperative that your building stays warm too. Blistering winds can freeze pipes especially if your heating system isn’t working. Also, by calibrating your thermostats, you’ll make sure your heating systems are operating efficiently, which saves you money on your heating bill.

• Inspect doors and windows: If you have gaps in your doors or windows it is good idea to use weather stripping. Doors and windows are prime entrance ways for cold, water, and pests to enter your building and can cause damage to your interior items. The warm air can also escape causing your heating bill to rise.

• Entrance Mats: It is cost efficient to have proper winter weather mats at all entrances and exits and your building. Did you know 80 percent of the dirt found in buildings such as offices and shopping spaces was tracked in on people’s shoes? The cost to have carpets cleaned or floors stripped and waxed can cost a lot of money. A good guide is that people entering should have three steps on a mat with each foot. The mats should give a little traction and should be rubber underneath to alleviate potential slip hazards.

Following these safety tips will help keep your building, employees, and customers safe from tragedy this winter season. If you are needing a commercial cleaning company to clean your winter grime, call us today at (269) 342-2366.

Surviving This Year’s Flu Season in The Office

11/1/2021 (Permalink)

A healthy work environment doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by intention. Call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 for free quote today!

Need a professional Office Cleaning Company to have a safe clean environment for your employees? After the outbreak of COVID-19 last year, it is very important to keep your office environment clean and stop the spread of germs. We have a few tips to tell your employees to help stop the spread of germs and hopefully keep your employees healthy and reduce the amount of absenteeism.

6 TIPS FOR A CLEANER WORK ENVIRONMENT:

1. Make sure all “touch point” areas are thoroughly cleaned. Touch points are areas that are touched by more than one employee in the office such as:
   • Phones
   • Computer mice
   • Doors/Door Handles
   • Faucet handles
   • Light switches
   • Office equipment
   • Elevator buttons
   • Stair rails
2. When you are sick- stay home!
3. Stop coughing or sneezing into your hands
4. Regularly wash your hands during the day
5. Alcohol based hand sanitizer is effective, but not as good as washing your hands
6. Get a flu shot

A healthy work environment doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by intention. Keeping your workplace healthy and getting at least some protection from the flu requires that your office cleaning company put policy and training into place that ensures that your office cleaning staff knows how to clean to reduce bacteria, viruses and other common infectious diseases and limit the spread of disease in your facility. Call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 for a FREE office cleaning quote.

Can Electronics Be Cleaned After a Fire?

9/27/2021 (Permalink)

If fire occurs in your business, call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 and we will make it “Like it never even happened.”

When it comes to a fire in your facility as a business owner you might be concerned about your electronics. Electronics that are not completely ruined by a fire may benefit from being cleaned. Fire cleanup professionals who specialize in electronics rely on several restoration methods.

Restoration experts can remove electronics from the site of a fire and work on them in a controlled location. There, they may be able to address several results of fire damage such as;

• Corrosion of circuits due to acidity of smoke
• Formation of black film of smoke or soot over internal components
• Warped electronics that suffered closer exposure to fire

These experts may be carefully clean corrosion or black film from the inside of computers, mobile devices or other electronics exposed to smoke damage. Corrosion or black film can both lead to short-circuiting and put residents at risk of starting another fire. If a device is no longer functional, it may be possible to retrieve data. In case of devices that are beyond restoration or data retrieval, restoration experts that specialize in electronics can supply owners with proof of loss that make it easier to file a claim and obtain replacements for damage electronics.

We understand that the process can be overwhelming. Our team is here for you every step of the way. If fire occurs in your business, call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 and we will make it “Like it never even happened.”

It’s More Than Just a Business, It’s Your Livelihood

Call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 for all your fire damage needs.

Fire, smoke, and soot damages in your facility can create unpleasant and permanent problems if not addressed properly. As various materials burn, the smoke produced will travel throughout the building leaving odorous residues and deposits on surfaces and in hard to reach places. Unless fast professional action is taken, these residues and deposits can cause permanent damage to contents and result in periodically resurfacing odors. Unfortunately, such damages are often made more severe when unprepared property owners attempt to perform the cleanups themselves.

Any fire in your facility is bad, but trying to clean it up yourself can be a disaster. Considering that smoke and soot from even a small fire can permanently damage contents throughout the building and many cause odors to resurface for years. SERVPRO East Kalamazoo understands how disruptive fires ca be for business owners, their tenants and even their customers.

Before you risk doing more damage to your valuable business assets by attempting to clean it up yourself, call SERVPRO of East Kalamazoo at (269) 342-2366 for all your fire damage needs.

Do You Have A Plan?

9/28/2017 (Permalink)

How quickly your company can get back to business after a tornado, fire, or flood often depends on the emergency planning done today. The regular occurrence of natural disasters demonstrates the importance of being prepared for any emergency. 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. The following are basic measures business owners and managers can take to begin preparing. A commitment to begin planning today will help support your employees, customers, the community, local economy, and even the country. It also protects your business investment and gives your company a better chance for survival.

Develop a Business Continuity Plan
Your organization's risk needs will vary depending on the specific industry, size, scope, and location. Begin by reviewing your business process flow chart, if one exists, to identify operations critical to survival and recovery. Carefully assess your internal and external functions to determine which staff, materials, procedures, and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep the business operating. You should also establish procedures for succession of management.

Review Insurance Coverage
Inadequate insurance coverage can lead to major financial loss if your business is damaged, destroyed, or simply interrupted for a period of time. Insurance policies vary; check with your agent or provider about things such as physical losses, flood coverage, and business interruption. Understand what your policy does and does not cover.

Prepare Your Emergency Plan
Your employees and co-workers are your businesses' most valuable asset. Communication is central before, during, and after a disaster. Include emergency information in newsletters, on your company intranet, in periodic employee e-mails and/or other communication tools.

Practice the Emergency Plan
Some disasters will require employees to leave the workplace quickly. The ability to evacuate workers, consumers, and visitors effectively can save lives. If your business operates out of more than one location, establish evacuation procedures for each individual building. If your company is in a high-rise building, an industrial park, or even a strip mall, it is important to coordinate and practice with other tenants or businesses to avoid confusion and potential gridlock.

Secure Your Facility and Equipment
Install fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and detectors in appropriate places. Secure all entry and exit points and plan for mail safety. Plan what you will do if your building, plant, or store is not usable. Secure valuable equipment.
