Faster Water Removal Can Keep a Business Running in Indianapolis

2/2/2023 (Permalink)

These air movers are just some of the equipment we have available to restore the water damage at your business.

Water Removal Services Improve a Shop's Recovery

Watching a small flood of water wash over your feet when you open the door to your shop is never something you want to experience. But if you ever do, call SERVPRO for the water removal services you need. We can help you stay open, continuing to serve your Indianapolis area customers.

SERVPRO teams provide businesses in Indianapolis with emergency water removal services, helping keep businesses from closing their doors and inconveniencing their customers.

We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. Here are some reasons why SERVPRO's goal is always to be faster:

• Water continually spreads to fill its container,
• Water damage continues on its own timeline, and
• Prevention is better than reacting.

When you pour it into a container, water will spread out to fill as much of the space as possible, which is true of your shop. If the water from a broken water line is pouring out onto your floor, it cannot go anywhere to escape and will only continue to rise higher. You need to get it pumped out, and SERVPRO has the extraction system to get it done fast and efficiently.

Water continually causes additional and worsening damage the longer it sits within an establishment. Removing the water is the first step to getting things dry and restoring your business. We have the tools to remove water from inside recessed areas, interior spaces of walls, and other places, instead of waiting for it to drain on its own or slowly air dry.

We invite area businesses to participate in our free program by creating an Emergency Ready Profile Plan (ERP.) You can call the number below and ask for more information. However, we want you to know now that this program has significantly increased the likelihood of a business recovering instead of permanently closing its doors following a disaster.

Water Restoration in Indianapolis Commercial Buildings

9/6/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO offers advanced equipment to extract water from commercial buildings in Indianapolis. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Minimizing the Impact of Water Damage in Indianapolis

Modern plumbing technologies may have reduced the chances for leaks to develop in Indianapolis commercial premises. However, plumbing connections still have the potential to spring a leak, and unless moisture begins to pool beside a fixture or the floor near it becomes spongy, you may not know this is happening.

The cost of water restoration in an Indianapolis commercial premises could be the least of your problem if the loss is so severe it forces tenants to vacate or lose revenue. Quickly acting is crucial since you want to tackle the damage fast and take preventative measures to ensure intrusions do not happen again. The process is complicated since it involves extensive inspections and drying to address all moisture pockets in the affected areas.

Restoration in commercial premises is usually complex due to

• The size of the building
• Required equipment
• The extent of damage
• The number of people

Moisture removal and drying process

If you are dealing with standing water, this may destroy electronics, furniture, business records, and even metal countertops if left for too long. SERVPRO helps restore your premises to normal mitigating further damage and loss of equipment. We use a submersible pump or portable pumps for commercial buildings to remove water accumulations in various structures around the premises. These pumps are highly efficient and make drying entire sections easier.

What influences the choice of extractor

• Depth of standing water
• Pooling patterns
• Whether it is slurry or clear water

We also use refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air and the affected materials. This process helps lower the humidity level, which is beneficial in many ways, including reducing microbial growth. Desiccant dehumidifiers use chemical agents to absorb moisture from the environment naturally. Refrigerant dehumidifiers, on the other hand, cool the air to reduce its ability to retain water.

SERVPRO of Indianapolis South emergency water restoration team is available 24/7, ready to respond quickly when you call. You can reach us at (317) 784-3008. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Water Cleanup for Indianapolis Businesses when Emergencies Strike

8/7/2022 (Permalink)

Whether it’s your business or your home that is affected by the water damage, team SERVPRO can help. Contact us right away for restoration services.

Water Cleanup Gets Everything Stable Again

Emergencies can cause enormous stress for everyone close to the tumultuous situation. Crises involving water are worse than other kinds because of the very nature of liquids. When your business in Indianapolis needs water cleanup services, SERVPRO knows what to do to help, so interruptions and delays are minimized.

Businesses in Indianapolis use water cleanup for its many benefits. SERVPRO follows specific protocols to provide our customers with unvarying results. Most of these come from IICRC standards, which are used worldwide for their effectiveness. Consistent methods assist our customers by:

• Helping them reassure their employees regarding future employment, 
• Controlling or decreasing overall future losses, and                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
• Reducing the amount of restoration work needed by the business’ building.

When faced with sudden disaster changes, many employees become preoccupied with their job’s stability. If the company goes out of business, its employment opportunities and related benefits disappear. To protect themselves, some employees start looking elsewhere for employment. Giving staff a timeline of water cleanup activities and restoration work can help retain valuable employees.

While we cannot salvage everything already ruined by water, we can keep additional inventory from becoming damaged. Preventing future losses requires a lot of preventative work, such as applying oils or waxes to metal objects, relocating highly susceptible items to our secure warehouse for short-term safekeeping, and monitoring moisture levels in the air.

Cleaning water from surfaces eliminates a large percentage of microbes, mainly when we apply topical antimicrobials. Your business has a much lower risk of needing mold remediation restoration work. Another example is after prompt cleaning and drying of floors, fewer B2B customers find cupping and warping, loosened tiles, and other water damaged appearances. Removing water and restoring pristine conditions can protect your existing electrical wiring system.

When you need a rapid response to a water emergency, call SERVPRO of Indianapolis South at (317) 784-3008. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Water Cleanup After a Leak in an Indianapolis Office Building

7/10/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage can seriously affect your business. Contact SERVPRO for remediation and mitigation services to get your business back up and running.

Leaks Require Several Types of Water Cleanup

Water restoration and cleanup are vital to keeping businesses going after emergencies like leaks and plumbing breaks. There are several critical points that we focus on during initial mitigation and restoration, including:

• Standing water
• Trapped water
• Ruined materials
• Surface cleaning

Removing Standing Water

Surface extraction is one of the first significant steps of water cleanup for Indianapolis office buildings. Multi-story structures present an obstacle, however. High-pressure pumps and wet vacuums are trusted solutions when water damage occurs several stories from the ground.

Water Caught in Porous Materials

Saturation is another concern for office buildings, especially for materials like carpeting in the main workspaces in the structure. This flooring can rapidly be overwhelmed and fully saturated, making it vital for our SERVPRO team to introduce carpet wands and weighted extractors to preserve this carpeting if possible.

Sagging or Collapsed Bulk Elements

Leaks and burst pipes in the drop ceiling where plumbing can be hidden can result in many ruined building materials. Not only can the force of this burst damage or destroy the thin framing of a drop ceiling, but individual tiles become quickly oversaturated and ruined. SERVPRO must collect and discard any ruined elements from the property to prepare the building for needed reconstruction after drying.

Cleaning Affected Surfaces

Cleanup can mean the removal of residues and soil deposits after prolonged water exposure or just ensuring that impacted items like desks and furniture are cleaned individually. Protecting sensitive surfaces from developing mold colonies is critical, so part of the surface treatment we can provide includes microbial inhibitors. 

Water mitigation and restoration are especially critical in Indianapolis's many multi-story office buildings. The city's structures rely on the fast response and experience of our SERVPRO of Indianapolis South team. Give us a call when you need us at (317) 784-3008.

After A Fire Disaster - Does Your Business Need Air Purification?

12/12/2021 (Permalink)

Air Purification After Fire Damage

Smoke smells and smoke damage are present in the air after a fire, which will require removal purifying. A restoration company will employ a variety of techniques to clean and sanitize the air so that the property can be usable once again. Fire damage restoration cannot be complete without a complete purification of the air.

A fire in a business can extensively damage drywall or paint, which will need to be restored last once all other damage is handled. Once the smoke smell is completely removed, fire cleanup and be completed with aesthetic touches. Complete fire damage restoration will leave the property completely usable. Commercial fire damage is reversed to the point where business can resume as usual, "Like it never even happened."

The stability provided by a restoration company after a fire in a home or a fire in a business is incomparable to that of an individual handling the situation by him- or herself. Fire cleanup is a complicated task that requires specialized equipment and multiple technicians depending on the extent of the fire damage. It is almost impossible to reverse commercial fire damage without help. Whether it is just to board up the property or to remove all the water from firefighting, a company takes on a lot of the burden, providing stability to a shaken individual.

When Commercial Fire Damage Strikes, You Need To Keep These Critical Things In Mind (Part 1 of 2)

6/14/2021 (Permalink)

Fire is amongst the worst disasters that can affect the running of a business and can halt operations for a long period due to damage to the business office and various office equipment. Therefore, it is imperative that the business owner initiates a fire damage restoration process as soon as possible to reverse the immense fire damage to the business. This will significantly assist in getting the business back in operation as fast as possible. It is important to use a fire restoration company as they provide other beneficial services other than just fire restoration. Here are six important steps a business owner should adhere to during a business’s fire damage restoration process.

1. Have an emergency contact

It is imperative that a business owner should have the emergency contacts of a fire restoration company as they offer immediate emergency services. This means that they will avail of their services as soon as they are contacted and offer immediate relief services that will save the business thousands of dollars. In addition to putting out the fire together with the fire department, the fire restoration personnel will prevent the spreading of the fire and damage to the rest of the business property.

2. Damage Assessment

The next step conducted by the restoration company in this process is assessing the extent of fire damage to the business property. This step entails assessing how far the soot, smoke, and fire have traveled and the extent of damage to the furniture and walls of the property. The damage assessment step is important as it provides an accurate and realistic damage report that assists in making an action plan, accurate cost of restoration and the exact time frame to conduct the restoration.

3. Sealing and Tarping Services

As the restoration of the damaged process begins, it is imperative that the fire damage restoration company prevent further damage to the business property by offering sealing and tarping services. This aims to avoid increasing the restoration costs for the business owner as well as completing the restoration process within the set time frame. Luckily, this process can be executed concurrently with other restoration processes such as the water damage restoration process. This ensures that any identified water leak or water pipe damage is fixed within the shortest time possible to avoid the spreading of water all over the business property and causing more damage.

When Commercial Fire Damage Strikes, You Need To Keep These Critical Things In Mind (Part 2 of 2)

6/14/2021 (Permalink)

Fire is amongst the worst disasters that can affect the running of a business and can halt operations for a long period due to damage to the business office and various office equipment. Therefore, it is imperative that the business owner initiates a fire damage restoration process as soon as possible to reverse the immense fire damage to the business. This will significantly assist in getting the business back in operation as fast as possible. It is important to use a fire restoration company as they provide other beneficial services other than just fire restoration. Here is part 2 of the 6 most important steps a business owner should adhere to during a business’s fire damage restoration process.

4. Damage Clean Up

When all sealing and tarping services are complete, the fire damage restoration company proceeds to next stage, which entails cleaning and clearing up the fire damaged area. This process involves cleaning away the soot, dust, and smoke from the surfaces of the business property. In most cases, a building’s walls and other surfaces appear charred, dark and stained. Therefore, cleaning of the surfaces plays a big role in ensuring the business property regains its normal look. Other damage restoration processes such as repairing water leaks and damaged water pipes are done and completed at this stage. Finally, removing and disposing all damaged items from the property marks the end of the clean-up phase. These include office furniture and other equipment that are beyond repair due to fire damage or water contamination. It is important that the business owner replaces such items with new ones to avoid future restoration and repair expenses.

5. Damage Repair and Property Restoration

This step entails restoring damaged furniture and other office equipment with new ones as well as repairing damaged office property such as installing new wall cabinets and repainting the office walls. This step ensures the business premises return to its former glory. However, other than conducting restoration activities, the business owner is presented with the opportunity to introduce and carry out new renovations to the business property. This will leave the business property looking even better than before, with new furniture, new office design, and a complete property facelift.

6. Consultation

After the completion of the fire damage restoration process, the fire damage restoration company can offer free advice, video tutorials, or even short seminars on various ways to prevent fires in the future, better office designs, and fire detection devices that can help detect smoke and fire within the business premises.

The Importance of a Fire Escape Plan In Your Indianapolis Business

12/18/2020 (Permalink)

Every workplace needs a fire escape plan. This plan should be posted throughout a building and shared with all occupants. Be sure to train new employees and perform regular drills to ensure that the emergency escape plan will prove useful in the event of a fire.

Plan Evacuation Routes

Do you have an accurate, updated floor plan available? It is vital that you do in order to make sure that you have the most up to date information to plan your evacuation from. You also will want to:

• Identify primary and secondary routes
• Ensure that routes are reasonable for occupants
• Obtain equipment such as an escape ladder

Secondary routes may be less than ideal, but they should still be practical. Keep the age and physical condition of occupants in mind. Post the emergency escape plan at strategic locations.

Test Fire Detection and Suppression Equipment

Many commercial properties are equipped with advanced detection and suppression systems. A fire escape plan should include regular tests to ensure the functionality of detectors and sprinklers. Hardwired alarm systems should have battery backups, and it is important to replace batteries that function as a main or backup power source. Make sure that fire extinguishers are of the appropriate class and filled with suppressant.

Keep Track of Occupants

Every business should maintain a current contact list. This list should include these details:

• Names
• Contact information
• Departments

Keep this list in a location where it can be accessed remotely or physically removed in the event of a fire. Every business should have a safe location where employees can gather outside. This place should be far enough away from the structure without being downwind.

A proper office evacuation plan really should list out the employees responsible for attempting to evacuate critical contents as well.  The more specific, the better! It is for this reason that it is vital to update your evacuation plan on a regular basis to correspond to any personnel changes that have happened in your company.

If a fire damages a building, you need to call a mitigation and restoration company to resume business as soon as possible.

So if disaster strikes your business, give us a call! We are faster to any disaster and are here to help get you back to "Like it never even happened."

What to Do if Your Indianapolis area Hotel Floods

12/3/2018 (Permalink)

What to Do if Your Hotel Floods

Flooding is a common occurrence in many parts of the country, and we are certainly no strangers to it here in the Indianapolis area. Whether it happens as a flash flood or as a slow buildup from constant rain, you need to be prepared for this type of event. As a hotel owner, there are some specific things to be aware of:

• Your guests. The people who are staying in your property are at the top of the list of concerns when it comes to flooding. Make sure everyone is aware of impending danger, and touch base with each guest to make sure they know how to stay safe. Getting emergency contacts for your guests is a good idea, too, in case something unexpected happens and you need the assistance of a close friend or family member.
• Medical issues. If there are guests staying with you who have medical issues or are either very young or very elderly, it might be a wise idea to get these people to a facility that can watch over them closely, such as a hospital or community safe haven.
• Vigilance. Even if you think the flood risk is low in your area, stay vigilant. Understand the potential exposure of your property, using reports from such organizations such as the NOAA Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service, which provides quarterly updates and maps that show areas that are at high risk during certain times of the year. Historic flood maps are another useful resource that will help you understand the potential risk where you are. Be informed as to how high water can possibly rise, and evacuate lower levels to make sure no one gets hurt.
• Insurance. Take note of the flood insurance you have on your property before a flooding disaster strikes. Have your attorney go over it for you to make sure that your coverage is sufficient for any disaster that might bring water damage and storm damage. Copies of this coverage and all other key business information should be kept in a safe location that won’t be damaged by flood waters.
• Proactive. Be proactive, and consider getting a sump pump to help minimize potential damages from flooding. Make sure all maintenance projects are current for the entire building, and especially the gutters, roofing, and doors and windows.
• Emergency Kits. These may come in handy if people get stuck in the building for a few days. Water, food, first aid items, toiletries, batteries, flashlights, and other emergency items will need to be available in the event that a flood forces people to stay put.
• Evacuation Plan. Design a flood evacuation route for your employees and guests and make sure it is posted where everyone can access it for a quick retreat.
• Weather Eye. Keep an eye on the weather by accessing local weather broadcasts, and paying attention to evacuation orders. If the local authorities are insisting that you evacuate, it would be a good idea to follow their instructions.

How Secondary Damage Can Make Commercial Flooding Worse

If your business floods, your first concern may be the rising water itself. While this is certainly a problem, it’s also important to avoid secondary damage. The increased levels of humidity in the room can cause black mold to spread. Here are a few ways you can avoid this problem after a flood in Greenwood, IN:

• Call a restoration company immediately
• Thoroughly clean all damaged items
• Keep an eye out for signs of mold for a few weeks after restoration

It’s essential for business owners to follow each of these steps to stop the damage. Furthermore, understanding how secondary damage occurs can help you avoid it. 

Plenty of Humidity

Even a few inches of water can significantly increase the humidity levels in a room. This high humidity means that there is a lot of water in the air. That moisture in the air then sticks to the walls, surfaces, and furniture in the area. 

Moisture Leads to Mold

When the water in the air lands on particular surfaces, it can begin to grow black mold. Unfortunately, that means that the mold grows in places where you may not expect it. 

How does moisture make mold? Mold spores are all around us. However, without the necessary water levels, they don’t grow into anything dangerous. Once humidity rises in your business, those previously harmless mold spores become a problem. 

The Clock is Ticking

The very second water spills into your business, you’re on a timer to prevent mold and other problems. In most cases, you have only 24 to 48 hours until the mold is visible. This is one of the reasons it is important to call SERVPRO of Indianapolis South immediately. 

Black mold and other secondary damage can make flooding in your business worse than it already would have been. Be sure to contact SERVPRO of Indianapolis South as soon as you see signs of flooding and avoid this problem altogether.
