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 Barrington / North Schaumburg 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.

Worse, mold is voracious, and literally eats almost anything: walls, wood, ceramic, or tile flooring.  Cotton, and drywall are also food for mold, allowing it to spread throughout the rest of the building.

When mold starts to colonize a Chicago area business, call SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg at (847)-526-0090. It’s also easy to reach out on our website. We are available all day, every day, so don’t worry about scheduling calls during business hours. SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg is always Here to Help®.

SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg technicians have everything necessary to safely contain any mold infestation.

While it is impossible to remove all of the microscopic mold spores, the technicians can remove all visible mold colonies, and can explain how to prevent its recurrence. They will clean upholstery, drywall, carpets, other flooring, and all other surfaces.

If moisture remains in the structure, technicians will remove the water, even if it is trapped in the air or hidden under floors or behind walls. SERVPRO of Barrington /North Schaumburg will also remove (not cover up) the odors that contribute to mold being such an unwelcome guest.

Your business will look "Like it never even happened."®

Fire Evacuation Plans for Your Business

12/6/2019 (Permalink)

photo of a commercial space experiencing fire/smoke Know what to do if disaster strikes.

Safety First

Everyone should know exactly what to do in the event of a fire.  A proper evacuation plan for your business is important for several reasons. Whether you are a restaurant owner, contractor or manufacturer, you should be well prepared.

To prepare for the eventuality of a fire, it is not enough to have fire extinguishers (although this is a good start). You should take all possible preventive measures to avoid a fire, but also put a place a plan in case of disaster. Start by imagining possible scenarios and then create a plan that addresses each one.

Establish roles and responsibilities, such appointing an inhouse Chief fire warden. This employee has overall responsibility for a fire event. Next you must make sure you have a communication plan. Designate someone such as an assistant fire warden whose primary job is to disseminate information to all if a fire did occur. Make sure the meeting points are far away from the building and train staff on the protocols and procedures to follow in the event of a fire.

Once all are evacuated, a designated employee needs to check that all employees are out of the building and accounted for. In addition to setting up a plan in the event of a fire, you can take other steps in your business to reduce the risk of such a disaster. Regularly inspect your tools, clean your equipment well, and do it often. Make sure all heating equipment is installed and maintained by a technician.

Duct Cleaning in Commercial Spaces

12/2/2019 (Permalink)

Photo of commercial ductwork It’s Important to Maintain Clean Ducts in Your Commercial Buildings

Why is Commercial Duct Cleaning Important?

When visiting a business, a person should be able to assume they are in a clean environment, and that includes having clean air. For the air to be ideal, the ductwork for the heating and air conditioning unit must be clean.

There are numerous reasons to have clean ducts, but the most important is the air quality in the establishment. If you have dirty ducts, particles that settle in the ductwork can be sent throughout the building which can increase the number of bacteria, mildew and other irritants. Without proper and regular duct cleaning, diseases can spread, people with breathing difficulties can have more problems, and there could be an increase in odors as smells are spread throughout the business.

It benefits the company to keep the ductwork clean as it improves the lifespan of the heating and air conditioning units as fewer things blow into them and they have increased airflow to keep all parts working properly. Also, if the ductwork is clean, the unit will run more efficiently. 

When the ducts are clean it makes the air more breathable, the unit will last longer, and it saves money on energy. When they are not clean and properly maintained, it leads to disease, smells, more energy usage, and more equipment malfunctions.

If your Barrington, Inverness, Schaumburg, Lake Zurich or Deer Park commercial space needs a proper duct cleaning, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Barrington/ North Schaumburg today at 847-526-0090.

Save Lives by Using Smoke Detectors in Hoffman Estates

11/7/2019 (Permalink)

A smoke detector covered in ashes from fire damage, with a new battery laying next to it. Save Lives and prevent fire damage by using smoke detectors in Hoffman Estates.

Fire can strike anywhere in Hoffman Estates. That’s why SERVPRO® of Barrington/North Schaumburg encourages people to use smoke detectors. The National Fire Protection Association found that smoke detectors are a major reason that fire deaths have decreased so much.

Hoffman Estates Should Know:

  • Smoke alarms provide enough warning for people to leave the building
  • Most fatal fires take place when people are asleep
  • The smell of smoke is not enough to wake a sleeping person
  • Nearly 60% of deaths from home fires occurred in homes without working smoke detectors
  • Place smoke detectors high on the wall or on the ceiling
  • The NFPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) recommend detectors that alert the fire department
  • Close doors to keep fire, heat, and smoke from spreading
  • The NFPA recommends a system that links all the smoke detectors together so that when one alarm sounds a warning, they all do
  • There should be at least one smoke alarm on every floor of a home or building
  • Every bedroom should have its own smoke detector
  • Replace the batteries once a year, such as a birthday or January 1st
  • Test each smoke detector every month by using its test button
  • Replace every smoke detector 10 years from its manufacture
  • When a smoke alarm goes off, implement your escape plan

We hope you never need recovery from smoke damage or from fire damage, but SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg is Here to Help®.

Tips for Staying Safe During a Storm in Deer Park

10/16/2019 (Permalink)

Lightning causing storm damage to an office building in Deer Park. Stay away from windows during a lightning storm in Deer Park.

A few common safety rules and precautions state that the public should generally try to stay inside of a safe area or building when a lightning storm or thunderstorm occurs. There are many commercial buildings in Deer Park.  SERVPRO® of Barrington/North Schaumburg wants to share the following safety tips for staying safe during a thunderstorm while inside of a commercial building:

  • Pay attention to all alerts and warnings, as a thunderstorm can develop into a tornado if powerful enough
  • Avoid running water if possible since electricity can travel through plumbing
  • Stay away from all windows or glass walls, especially during a lightning storm

Since weather is unpredictable and can change in an instant without much warning in Deer Park, SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg wants you to consider the following tips:

  • If the commercial building has a basement or storm cellar, head there immediately
  • Use your arms to protect your head and neck in the event of flying debris or shattered windows
  • Do not leave the safe area until the local alerting system says it is safe to do so

Remember, SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg is here to help. Our trained team members will show up ready to go and can assist in cleanup and restoration after a thunderstorm, lightning storm and even a tornado has caused storm damage, water damage, or fire damage.

Just to be safe, SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg recommends you keep, maintain, and know how to use fire extinguishers. 

A fire-extinguisher may prevent fire damage and smoke damage from spreading throughout the office or commercial building.

If you see a small fire you might be able to take care of it yourself by using the following tips. If you have any worries, you and everyone else should leave the office and call 9-1-1 when you are outside.

SERVPRO of Barrington/North Schaumburg wants you to know that you can try to fight a small fire only if:

  • You can get to the fire extinguisher quickly. Fire is fast. Fire damage and smoke damage are less painful than personal injuries
  • You have the right class of fire extinguisher
  • You know how to use the fire extinguisher

FEMA Describes the Types of Commercial Fire Extinguishers:

Classes A, B, and C fire extinguishers are found in both homes and businesses

  • Class A is for cloth, wood, and paper
  • Class B is for liquids that can burst into flame or explode, such as grease, gasoline, oil, or oil-based paints
  • Class C is for electrical equipment like computers, tools, or anything else that is plugged in
  • Most home-improvement stores sell multi-purpose fire extinguishers: Classes A:B:C
  • Class D is for metals that can burst into flame.  Class D fire extinguishers are usually needed only in some factories
  • Class K is for vegetable and animal oils and fats that are in cooking appliances.  Commercial kitchens (restaurants, cafeterias, catering businesses) often use them
