Does Your Boardman Commercial Property Have High Foot Traffic?

3/22/2023 (Permalink)

There are various methods for cleaning carpets, including steam cleaning, dry cleaning, and shampooing.

High foot traffic areas in commercial properties can attract all kinds of dust, dirt, and debris. In turn, those contaminants can be tracked all over your Willow Crest warehouse, and offices. Consider having your Poland commercial property’s carpets professionally cleaned by SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties. Carpet cleaning is the process of removing dirt, stains, and other contaminants from carpets. There are various methods for cleaning carpets, including steam cleaning, dry cleaning, and shampooing. The choice of method depends on the type of carpet, the level of soiling, and the desired results.

Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is one of the most popular methods of carpet cleaning. It involves using hot water and a cleaning solution to loosen dirt and stains, and then extracting the water and debris using a high-powered vacuum. This method is effective for deep cleaning carpets and removing tough stains.

Dry cleaning is another method of carpet cleaning, which involves using a dry cleaning compound or powder to clean the carpet. The compound is applied to the carpet, and then a machine is used to work the compound into the fibers of the carpet. The compound then attracts and absorbs dirt and other contaminants, which are then removed using a vacuum.

Shampooing is another method of carpet cleaning that involves applying a foamy shampoo to the carpet, and then agitating it with a machine to work the shampoo into the fibers. The shampoo is then removed using a vacuum, along with the dirt and other contaminants.

Professional carpet cleaners like SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties use a combination of these methods, depending on the type of carpet and the level of soiling on your Struthers commercial property. Regular carpet cleaning can help to extend the life of the carpet, and keep it looking and smelling fresh.

Did Your Sewage Back Up onto Your Commercial Property in Youngstown, OH?

3/17/2023 (Permalink)

There is never a convenient time for the sewage to back up in your Boardman commercial facility.

There is never a convenient time for the sewage to back up in your Boardman commercial facility. Luckily, SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties is always prepared for all types of losses, big and small. Sewage damage can be such an overwhelming disaster to your New Middletown commercial property, but in this blog, we can help you get an understanding of the situation for some peace of mind. 

For further explanation, let’s examine the three types of contaminated water:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

• This is water from a clean source like a faucet or broken supply line
• It can quickly degrade into into Category 2 or 3 if left untreated (factors like temperature, time, and contact with contaminants can affect this outcome

Category 2: “Gray Water”

• This water has significant levels of contamination that could potentially cause discomfort or illness if ingested 
• It could be from a washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow
• May contain bacteria and viruses
• Can rapidly degrade to Category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: “Black Water”

• This water is grossly unsanitary and any contact should be avoided at all costs 
• It could be caused by flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth 
• May contain harsh chemicals, microbes, and untreated sewage

Sewer damage is serious and can be far more penalizing than a lower category water damage case. Do not wait to have sewage damage cleaned up, especially not at an Austintown commercial property where others may come in contact with potentially dangerous water. Contact SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties today on our website or call us at (330)-536-7477 for immediate assistance 24/7.

5 Tips for Fire Prevention at Your Salem Workplace

1/29/2023 (Permalink)

Having a fire prevention conversation in the workplace is probably not something you have done in a while, or ever.

Having a fire prevention conversation in the workplace is probably not something you have done in a while, or ever. Although it is an easy talk to put on the back burner, SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties encourages its business owners to have this important discussion with your employees. Without having proper planning during a fire, your Petersburg, Youngstown, East Palestine, or nearby businesses can quickly turn into a disastrous event — one that not only risks the lives of your employees but also the future of your business.

5 Tips for Fire Prevention

• Kitchen Prevention - Make sure employees unplug all appliances in the kitchen if you have one. Kitchen fires are the #1 spot fires begin.
• Office Prevention - Make sure office equipment like computers, copiers, fax machines, and power cords are all up to date with no rips or tears in the wiring. Should your office use space heaters, make sure employees are plugging them directly into a wall and not using a power strip.
• Implement a Fire Plan -Having an escape plan is important for time sensitivity and safety. Those extra minutes saved by having an organized strategy mean a lot and can save someone’s life.
• Smoke Alarms Save Lives - Ensure smoke alarms are up to date and functioning properly. Change the batteries twice a year and test them regularly to ensure they are operational.
• Practice, Practice, Practice - Assign roles to specific employees to carry out an effective evacuation: who will call the fire department, who will stay behind to direct employees to exits, and make sure everyone gets out safely, who will coordinate at evacuation point, etc. 

Even the most prepared businesses can be affected by fire. SERVPRO of Mahoning and North Columbiana Counties is located right in your back yard and ready to respond to fire damage at your business 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why You Should Have Your Carpets Cleaned Professionally

10/19/2020 (Permalink)

Dirty carpets hold particles that will damage carpet over time, increasing wear and tear, making it almost impossible not to change the carpets soon.

Let’s be honest. When you walk into a hotel or business…a dirty carpet can really give you the heebie jeebies. In fact---the last time I stayed in a hotel I specifically kept my shoes on the whole time because I could feel the filth in the carpet. This leaves a complete distaste in a customer’s mind and will ensure you won’t have returning customers.

Dirty carpets hold particles that will damage carpet over time, increasing wear and tear, making it almost impossible not to change the carpets sooner than you thought. Commercial carpet cleaning on a regular basis can be the deciding factor, you make as a business owner, to keep your carpets for the long-haul.

The fibers in your carpet can also trap a variety of airborne pollutants, including chemicals, dust, and dirt. These germs can have your guests feeling allergy ridden. By keeping your carpets clean with professional services, you can rest assured that your indoor air is free of toxins. And your business smelling like a business should.

The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions also include: 

• Regular vacuuming
• Spot removal
• Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
• Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Our professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your carpets. How often you will need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look really dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

If you’re thinking it’s time for some commercial carpet cleaning at your business SERVPRO of East Mahoning County will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment and over 40 years of experience---we could not be more qualified to care for your business. Call us today for a quote at 330.536.7477.

Working from Home Tips & Best Practices

3/26/2020 (Permalink)

For many people working from home may be brand new, posing a major adjustment to be made to stay efficient and productive while not in the office

With the coronavirus affecting so much, the way we go about our day-to-day lives has been changed drastically. Companies have unfortunately had to lay workers off, limit their operations greatly, completely let go of workers, and even shut down completely. This is certainly ‘unfamiliar territory’ for almost everyone and people are forced to make several adjustments. One major thing most people are having to go through and may be struggling to acclimate to, is working from home during this quarantine.

For many people working from home may be brand new, posing a major adjustment to be made to stay efficient and productive while not in the office. On the other hand, even if you have done it before it likely was not for this long of a duration…making it still an unfamiliar experience. Below are some tips and best practices to make this transition as easy as possible:

1. Get Dressed

You may not need to dress as formally as you usually do for work, but this simple process can serve as a point of change where it is now time to wake up and be productive. Waking up and taking care of your appearance helps a lot in production and overall feeling of yourself.

2. Designate a Workspace/Office

This is especially important for people that are used to waking up each morning and going into their office. You want to create that same physical separation from work and home life. Your workspace doesn’t even have to be its own separate room, it can be a corner of a room, a certain desk, or even a certain chair within your home.

3. Maintain Defined Work Hours

Similarly, to keeping a defined workspace each day, you should maintain a set of hours that will work for you as close as possible to your normal 'at work' hours. If you live with other people, this is even more crucial, establishing boundaries on when you will be ‘free’ like you normally are while home.

4. Communication

While working from home and away from your normal department, it is very common to have questions that your normally wouldn’t have or can usually get an answer quickly in person. During this time at home it is key to make sure to over-communicate and reach out whenever necessary.

How to Discourage Birds from Nesting on Your Commercial Property

3/26/2020 (Permalink)

Bird removal is not always easy, and many removal methods are illegal

Morning sun, green grass, and birds chirping are all signs of spring. As the seasons change, birds migrate, and when they do, they need a safe place to nest. The drawback is that the nests are not always wanted by the buildings’ inhabitants. 

A mud nest can not only be an eyesore, but also cause damage to the structure of the building. Bird removal is not always easy, and many removal methods are illegal. The best bird cleaning strategies are preventative. 

1. Mock Predators

It may be illegal to physically remove birds from your building, but you can still take preventative measures to scare them off. Visual deterrents that resemble natural predators can be an effective method to discourage birds from taking up residence on your commercial building. For an even more effective method, move the deterrent to different locations so the birds do not become comfortable with it. 

2. Physical Barriers 

A net that covers the awnings where birds prefer to nest can prove to be quite troublesome for them. If a spot is too difficult to reach, birds will often give up and find a new and easier place to reach. Nets are typically inexpensive and easy to install. 

3. Covered Landing Zone 

If the net is not enough, you may have to make the place birds like to land and assemble their homes inhospitable. A sloping apparatus can make it nearly impossible for birds to get their footing. Without steady footing, they are unable to build their nest and your building remains bird free. 

You may not be able to control exactly where and when birds nest, but you can take preventative measures to ensure it is not on your commercial building. If you find yourself needing restorative measures after birds have nested on your building, do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of East Mahoning County at (330) 536-7477,

Commercial Carpet Cleaning Services in Mahoning County

11/26/2019 (Permalink)

Professional carpet cleaning improves the smell, lifespan, and appearance of your floors.

Are the carpets in your home or business clean? When was the last time you thought about the cleanliness of your carpet in your home or business?

To the naked eye you may look at your carpets and think they are clean. Contrary to belief just vacuuming your carpet does not mean that it is clean. Although vacuuming your carpets daily is a great habit to be in, your carpets should also receive a steam cleaning as well to ensure longevity and a healthy lifestyle, especially if you have small children in your home.

Listed below are some reasons as to the importance of having your carpets professionally steam cleaned regularly (at least once a year).

Proper maintenance and cleaning of your carpets:

• Prolongs the life of your carpet. Maintaining a regular clean of your carpets will help protect your carpet investment in your home or business while increasing the longevity.
• Removes Pollutants trapped in your carpet. There is nothing like the feeling of soft, plush carpet below your feet. However, these same carpet fibers are a perfect home for things like pet dander, dirt and pollen. Seasonal allergies are very common and can be significantly reduced by having the carpets cleaned and removing these pollutants from your home and or business.
• Makes it easier to maintain your carpets. Soils found in carpets are made mostly by gritty and dry particles which can be very abrasive to the pile of your carpet. Over time, the soil becomes embedded into the carpet piles and will lead to premature wear on your carpet fibers. Keeping your carpets properly maintained means that most dry soils can be removed with a regular vacuuming.
• Helps compliment the overall appearance of your carpeted room. Cleaned and well-maintained carpets say a lot about the cleanliness of your home or business. Dirty carpets can be an attention grabber as soon as someone steps foot into that room. Having clean carpets can avoid that situation and make for a better living and work experience.
• Removes dust mites and mold spores.While dust mites themselves may not be a problem, the feces and remnants of old body particles are what cause the allergies. Anytime your carpet has foot traffic it is stirring up the pollutants into the air which means you are essentially breathing that in. Given the opportunity and right conditions mold can grow in your carpets as well. Once the mold begins to spread it will eventually make its way through the rest of your home. Regular cleaning though can remove the mold spores before they have a chance to spread and cause further damage.
• Removes stains and spots. Your carpets may acquire a variety of stains and soils over time. Removing these spots and stains quickly can protect your carpets from any further damage.

Remember it is always better to have a pro-active approach rather than a reactive approach when it comes to carpet cleaning in your business or home. 

If your business is in need of a professional carpet cleaning, call us today for a free quote at 330-536-7477 we're always here to help!

Your business has been built around the promise of a safe and clean environment in which to rest and relax. SERVPRO of East Mahoning County can help you keep your promise.

SERVPRO Professionals can conduct routine inspections to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit (HVAC) in your buildings.

Commercial construction projects can negatively affect air quality and stir up dust and other airborne particles. Protecting air quality in commercial buildings during construction and renovation projects is critical to the health and well-being of employees. Construction can negatively affect air quality and stir up dust and other airborne particles. 

Indoor air problems can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor HVAC design, poor filtration and lack of maintenance. If left unresolved, indoor air quality problems subject the occupants to prolonged exposure to chemicals, molds, dust mites, bacteria and other pollutants.

Symptoms that people commonly complain about include coughing, nasal congestion, sore throat, wheezing, asthma, eye irritation, headaches and fatigue. Most indoor air problems can be traced directly to the HVAC system.

Differentiating the SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile (ERP)

2/21/2019 (Permalink)

Have you ever heard one of your employees say, " I know I have a file for that, it's here somewhere."

Those words are routinely heard in the commercial business world when referring to the storage methods of plans and processes.

Emergency Ready Profiles (ERPs) are amongst that list and are routinely found in a bulging, three-ring binder. It wouldn't be reasonable to permit employees to enter a burning building to grab the emergency response binder, nor should they wade through a flooded building to secure it as well.

The SERVPRO ERP is different. It's a digitized plan that travels with those who need it most. The immediacy of accessing emergency response plans from your mobile device helps minimize business interruption and provides the critical information needed to begin mitigation services. It contains the necessary information and serves as a quick reference to important aspects of your building.

It seems most disasters occur in the middle of the night or while you're away on vacation. Nonetheless, an ERP from SERVPRO allows you to respond immediately from anywhere.

Action steps can begin with a quick phone call to the nearest SERVPRO and the work of mitigating the damage can begin. The latest research suggests that as much as 50% of businesses close down following a disaster. Of those that survive, the majority had preparedness in place.

A "no cost" assessment of your facility can be done by contacting SERVPRO of East Mahoning County @ (330)536-7477.

Restaurant Fire Cleanup Services in Downtown Youngstown

Our trained professionals are ready to get you back in business following fire damage.

Smoke and soot are very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your business, causing hidden damage and odor. Our smoke damage expertise and experience allows us to inspect and accurately assess the extent of the damage to develop a comprehensive plan of action.  

Smoke and soot facts:

• Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and upper levels of a structure.
• Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.
• The type of smoke may greatly affect the restoration process.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke–wet and dry. As a result, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. Before restoration begins, SERVPRO of East Mahoning County will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage occurred. The cleaning procedures will then be based on the information identified during pretesting. Here is some additional information:

Wet Smoke – Plastic and Rubber

• Low heat, smoldering, pungent odor, sticky, smeary. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke – Paper and Wood

• Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

Protein Fire Residue – Produced by evaporation of material rather than from a fire

• Virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes, extreme pungent odor. 

Our Fire Damage Restoration Services

Since each smoke and fire damage situation is a little different, each one requires a unique solution tailored for the specific conditions. Our company owner, Andrew Dobson, holds a Master Fire & Smoke Restoration Certification with the IICRC, and we have the equipment, expertise, and experience to restore your fire and smoke damaged business and inventory.

• There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
• Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects)
• Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.

Some research also suggests that cleaning dirty cooling coils, fans and heat exchangers can improve the efficiency of heating and cooling systems.

Puff Backs

1/4/2017 (Permalink)

How Do Puff Backs Occur? 

Puff backs occur due to a furnace malfunction and causes soot to spread throughout your home. This usually occurs with oil burning furnaces that have resulted in an explosion.

Removal Process:

You could try to remove the soot residue yourself depending on the damage. If there is too much soot you will need to contact a professional cleaning service because certain approaches and chemicals are implemented during the removal process.

Prevention:

One simple method of preventing a puff back is by constantly making sure the oil heating system is dust free. Another way for ultimate protection is to have your heating system inspected and serviced annually.

Professional Service:

This could happen to your Campbell home, if this occurs call us at (330) 536-7477. Our team offers multiple cleaning services to residential and commercial structures. Like our Facebook page for more tips!
