Commercial Fire Kitchen Clean

4/5/2023 (Permalink)

Pictured above is one of our cleaning technicians doing a thorough cleaning of a commercial kitchen in a church in Ferndale.

A Ferndale church experienced a pipe break in the slab of the kitchen floor.  To make the necessary repair to the floor, plumbers had to remove the tile floor, break up the cement, repair the broken pipe, and lay new cement over the repair.  Because of the construction work performed, a cleaning needed to be done in the building. 

The technicians worked quickly and efficiently to clean up the areas with dust.  Technicians washed all ceilings, walls, floors, tables, chairs, dishes, and cooking utensils so the church could use the kitchen for their daily events.

Commercial kitchen deep cleaning can be broken down into a number of categories, SERVPRO of Farmington & Farmington Hills offer every service that you could need, including:

• Structural cleaning
• Cooking equipment cleaning
• Extraction cleaning

When construction is done in a commercial building, detailed cleaning is often needed to remove the dust entirely.

Why Your Business Should Have an Emergency Readiness Profile

8/11/2022 (Permalink)

Emergency Ready Profile

An ERP (Emergency Readiness Plan) is a method of planning for emergencies long before they occur. It’s a carefully devised, well-rehearsed strategy that guides you and your employees to take decisive action during a catastrophe. This well-oiled machine will give any employee in the building the necessary tools to effectively handle an emergency. 

DETERMINE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS

In addition to emergency phone numbers, shut-off areas, and preventative procedures it is necessary to create an ERP that protects anyone in the building. The Department of Homeland Security refers to this as “Protective Actions for Life Safety,” including:

• Fire Drills -- Rehearsals for action during a fire.
• Sheltering -- Sheltering staff during a natural disaster.
• Sheltering in Place -- Sheltering staff during a man-made emergency.
• Lockdown -- Eluding an active shooter

SERVPRO of Farmington and Farmington Hills and the SERVPRO Ready Plan information will give you the security of emergency preparedness. The information can be downloaded into the Ready Plan app to instantly share with SERVPRO so that the damage can be intercepted. We’ll make it “Like it never even happened.”

Warehouse Water Damage in Farmington Hills, MI Business

Besides a natural disaster or large-scale storm, there are other potential causes for a water damage at your business. It is true that commercial water damages are often the result of weather events such as heavy rains and storms, however, there are regular maintenance issues that could cause damage to company equipment, inventory, and other valuable assets. Our SERVPRO of Farmington and Farmington Hills technicians are highly trained and knowledgeable in all of the possible causes for a water loss to occur in your commercial property.

Other Causes of Water Damage in Your Business:

• Sprinkler System Malfunction - Sprinkler systems are a must for businesses because it helps protect the building in fire emergencies, offering the first line of defense when smoke is detected. However, when the sprinkler system is outdated and showing signs of wear and tear, the sprinklers can malfunction and cause water damage to everything inside the building.
• Burst pipes– There are many reasons why pipes can burst and cause water damage. One potential reason could be an extremely cold day that can freeze the water in the pipes. Since water expands as it freezes, this expansion can crack and break the pipes that the water needs to flow through.
• Clogged sewer system– Another possible reason for a commercial water damage is toilets and sewer systems getting clogged. Toilets and sewer lines can get clogged very easily and when a sewer line is clogged, flooding can occur anytime someone flushes a toilet or pours water down a sink.
• Leaking roof– When the roof is not regularly checked and maintained, it can suffer damage from exposure to changing weather. Even if you are just experiencing a rainstorm, when your roof has a leak, it can become detrimental and damage the inside of your building.
