Water Damage from a sprinkler in your Avon Business
3/14/2022 (Permalink)
broken sprinkler
An automatic fire sprinkler system is one of the essential fire protection features. They are reliable and affordable. However, fire protection systems may fail if not properly maintained or afforded adequate heat. For example, a failure could result in disaster if a fire occurred or tremendous water damage from fire sprinklers if water is unexpectedly released.
When a fire sprinkler head accidentally discharges, it soaks walls, floors, furniture, and anyone unlucky enough to be nearby. Regular maintenance can’t guarantee it won’t happen, but you can be ready for unexpected sprinkler breakdowns with these tips.
Call the experts in Water Damage Restoration.
Call SERVPRO of Summit, Lake, Park & Eagle Counties; we are experts in water damage restoration. This is the first step to ensuring all water damage is addressed and managed with the skill to eliminate future damage. This service provider will assess the existing water damage and develop a strategy to return your property to its original, non-damaged state.
Don’t try cleanup by yourself.
When fire sprinkler heads accidentally discharge – usually because they are broken – they release a spray of dirty water contaminated with rust, oil, and sediment. The mixture stains the surface and spreads strong, unpleasant odors throughout the building. Don’t try to tackle the mess on your own. Leave clean up to us.
- We do the cleanup and the mitigation. We care for all interior materials, including sheetrock, carpets, and flooring.
- Our certified restoration technicians often salvage damaged furniture, equipment, and even paper records.
Document everything
Document water damage from a sprinkler system as soon as possible. Record all the damages immediately. That way, you can demonstrate the extent of loss to your insurance company.
- Take detailed pictures and videos of all affected interiors, including broken sprinklers, wet walls, and wet floors.
- Leave large items like furniture and equipment in place for the adjuster’s inspection.
- Save the receipts for damage-related expenses.

The Solution For Commercial Damage Cleanup in Colorado
1/10/2022 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Summit servicing the Aspen Colorado Area
There is so much to love about the beautiful area that encompasses Summit, Lake, Park, and Eagle Counties in Colorado.
From skiing to hiking to enjoying the incredible natural vistas, there’s no wonder thousands of people are drawn here every year.
There’s also little question why so many businesses have opened here, leading to a wide range of commercial properties throughout the area.
Unfortunately, all of those businesses can also fall victim to fire, water, storm, and other types of significant damage and when that occurs they’ll need specialized commercial damage cleanup services.
With years of service and the expertise that comes with the SERVPRO name, we’re the name you can trust for all of your commercial damage cleanup needs. As a local business ourselves, we understand exactly what is required to treat damage to commercial properties and restore them to their previous condition so that you can get back to business as quickly as possible.
The Specific Challenges of Commercial Cleanup
Whether from fire, water, or storm, any kind of damage that hits your commercial property can be particularly devastating. The longer any business remains closed, the more it can cost in terms of profit, so at times like these, it is absolutely essential to get your business restored and get back on your feet.
SERVPRO understands that all too well, which is why we make it our business to respond faster to any disaster. Our staff is ready to take your call 24/7 and our highly trained restoration specialists will be on-site within four hours of that call to begin the cleanup process.
All of our specialists have the training and certification necessary to handle any kind of commercial property damage, including the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification. We are also prepared to handle all types and sizes of business, from small mom-and-pop shops to large corporate buildings, hotels, and other properties.
While fire, water, and storms can wreak havoc on any kind of property, there are particular challenges that are presented by commercial properties:
- Most commercial properties are larger in size and scale than residential properties, meaning the cleanup process may be much more complex.
- Because there is more ground to cover and many specialized areas including upholstery repair, complex electrical systems, waterproofing, and other issues, commercial clean-up can require a greater level of skill and experience.
- Time is a particular concern for commercial properties. Keeping the doors closed can continue to cost you money, so cleanup needs to happen as quickly as possible.
Guaranteed To Get You Back To Work Fast
At SERVPRO we put our focus on getting you back to work quickly, which is why we are guaranteed to respond faster to any disaster. That lets you rest easy knowing that your business is in the best possible hands and will be up and running again as soon as possible.
We use industrial-strength, professional quality equipment to address water and smoke damage and thoroughly dry every inch of your property. We understand that commercial properties require special handling and we’re ready to provide all of the support necessary to get the job done right.
Our team of highly skilled technicians has all of the necessary training and certification to handle any size commercial property and we are continually learning and re-certifying to ensure that we are up to date on all of the latest techniques.
We have even taken steps to guard against the spread of viral pathogens with our new program, Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned. We know how devastating and costly damage to commercial properties can be, so we take nothing for granted when it comes to the cleanup process.
At SERVPRO of Summit, Lake, Park, and Eagle counties, we combine the resources of a national network of over 1,700 franchises with the small-town feel of a locally owned and operated business.
We’re part of this community too and we’re invested in keeping it healthy and thriving because what’s good for one of us is good for all. That’s why we treat every property with the same care and concern we’d want for our own. Our goal is to restore your business to its previous condition so that there are no lingering signs of damage.
When disaster strikes your commercial property it shouldn’t put you out of business permanently. Fire, storms, and flooding can all cause different types of damage that require a very specific approach, but SERVPRO is up to the challenge.
Call the professionals of SERVPRO and we’ll provide the thorough commercial cleanup services you expect so that you can quickly put the damage behind you and start serving your customers again.

Winter safety tips for your employees
11/12/2021 (Permalink)
Winter
It’s winter season again. The days are short, the temperatures are dropping, and snow is knocking at the door in many parts of the country. But this winter season will be unlike any we’ve seen before. With the COVID-19 pandemic altering how we work, convene, and communicate, it will be more important than ever to ensure your workplace is prepared for the cold months ahead.
A proactive safety plan that explicitly addresses slips, trips, and falls enhance worker safety and minimizes potential costs from workers’ compensation payments, government fines, or equipment/facility remediation requirements.
There need to be eyes on the parking areas, outside break areas, and walkways at all times.
Keep walkways, stairways, and other work areas clear.
Remove hazards, such as water on floors and snow on sidewalks, immediately.
Avoid carrying heavy loads that may compromise your balance.
Mark hazardous areas. Use temporary signs, cones, barricades, or floor stands to warn passing workers.
Outside, wear footwear with heavy treads for increased traction. Make yourself visible to drivers by wearing a brightly colored jacket or clothes.
Winter preparedness is essential to protecting your people and business, and steps must be taken to prepare your facilities. You can’t prevent all falls, but you can salt the parking lot, sidewalks, and efforts ahead of time. You can also place large, absorbent mats at every entrance to prevent slips once employees are inside the building.
Inspect your facilities (roof, plumbing, etc.) and make sure to perform all required preventative maintenance and repairs.
As always, if disaster strikes, SERVPRO of Summit Lake, Park & Eagle Counties is always ready to assist you. We are a 24/7 emergency response. Call us today at 970-949-3235.
Preventing Mold in your Commercial Building
11/11/2021 (Permalink)
Mold in the white ceiling
Mold can be very challenging to deal with. It can sometimes be challenging to spot, pollute the air, and even threaten your establishment's structural integrity.
It gets even more problematic with commercial properties since they can cause business interruption, make you, your employees, and your clients experience health effects, and of course, cost you a lot of money. Follow these tips to prevent mold from growing inside your commercial buildings.
Prevent Mold From Taking Hold in your Office Building.
Mold is not something to take lightly when you own or manage a commercial property. Mold can grow on any organic surface where moisture and oxygen are present. Your commercial property is full of areas that have these perfect conditions. Add in that mold spores are invisible to the human eye, and you have an ideal breeding ground for mold – and you may not even know it.
- Stay vigilant: Mold can be sneaky, growing in places you may never have thought. Create a plan and inspect your property regularly. These places include anywhere that has high moisture levels, like basements or crawl spaces. Watch for fuzzy stains on walls, musty smells, and mold marks on carpets and rugs.
- Repair any plumbing issues right away. Bring in a restoration company right away if you notice leaky roofs, leaky pipes, or unsealed windows and door frames. These are all prime areas for mold to grow.
- Use a dehumidifier. Your establishment's humidity must always be maintained and kept at no higher than 50%. We understand how it can be challenging to keep track, so your bet is to install commercial dehumidifiers.
- Ensure proper ventilation. Keep HVAC systems clean. HVAC systems are an excellent place for mold to hide; not only can mold hide in the vents, but since they are the perfect way for mold spores to get around the building quickly and efficiently.
- Call in a professional. If you can't find the source of the mold or the problem has spread, it is time to bring in a professional service to assist in mold remediation.
Our SERVPRO team are Professionals who have the right tools, equipment, and products to take care of it. We specialize in mold removal from residential and commercial buildings and can assist with ridding your property of any mold and residual spores. You can trust SERVPRO of Summit Lake, Park & Eagle Counties to take care of any mold problems you encounter in your commercial building. We are a 24/7 emergency response. Call us today at 970-949-3235.
Preventing Water Damage in your Commercial Building
11/11/2021 (Permalink)
Pipes
All buildings are different, but each is at risk for water damage. From a minor roof leak to violently destructive hurricanes, any unwanted water intrusion can significantly impact the value of a commercial property.
If your business experiences a water-related incident, you’ll need to act quickly to mitigate the damage. Small business insurance can also play a crucial role in lessening the financial impact. However, it’s best to prevent such occurrences from happening in the first place. Use these tips to protect your business from flooding and freezing damage.
Conduct Regular Inspections
The components of a commercial building are diverse and complex. Unlike residential property, commercial buildings tend to have major external HVAC components, roofs decorated with an array of pipes and fans, and large utility rooms. The best way to keep the harsh weather outside is to hire a professional to conduct frequent and thorough inspections.
Insulate exposed pipes
Exposed pipes during the winter are vulnerable to freezing. Plummeting temperatures can freeze water inside a poorly insulated pipe, causing the pipe to burst. A broken pipe can lead to costly flooding or even structural damage. Ensure the pipes are insulated. The more insulation you use, the better protected your lines will be.
Inspect gutters and drainage
Fallen leaves and other debris in gutters and downspouts can lead to water damage to the exterior and interior walls. Regularly inspect your business’s gutters, downspouts, and drainage system, and remove any debris or buildup.
Locate your shut-off valve
If a pipe breaks, you’ll need to act quickly. That means you should know the location of the main shut-off valve for your building’s water supply. Shutting off the main valve will temporarily cut the water flow to the building, preventing flooding until you can fix the problem.
Seal cracks and gaps
Seal any cracks, holes, or other gaps in your building’s exterior and foundation to ensure that cold air doesn’t penetrate your structure, and warm air doesn’t escape. Caulk, weather stripping, and other sealants can be used to make your building more energy-efficient and reduce the risk of frozen pipes.
Have a Plan B
Ideally, each commercial building should have options for temporary office space and plans to inform clients of quick changes in the case of severe water damage. Additionally, it’d never be a poor use of time to back up critical paperwork electronically.
Protect your business with insurance
It’s essential to have adequate insurance in place if you experience water or freezing damage when it comes to small business insurance—the details of your coverage matter.
Ask your insurer to add a rider or endorsement to extend coverage to hazards that are excluded from your policy to ensure your business is protected.
Quick response to water damage events
Often the speed of response to a water damage event is the most vital key to getting back to normal day-to-day operations quickly.
Remember, SERVPRO of Summit Lake, Park & Eagle Counties is ready to assist you with water damage restoration and help you get back to normal. Getting your home or business back to preloss condition as quickly as possible is our number one priority. We are a 24/7 emergency response. Call us today at 970-457-1449.
Commercial Restoration Brings Special Challenges In Summit & Eagle Counties CO
3/13/2021 (Permalink)
graphic commercial cleaning services SERVPRO Summit, Lake, Park & Eagle Counties
While business and commercial buildings can face the same kind of threats from water, fire, and mold that private residences do, commercial restoration holds several unique challenges that can make it more difficult.
In order to perform a complete restoration of commercial properties it’s important to recognize these differences:
- Commercial buildings are large – generally speaking, commercial properties tend to be much bigger than homes and that can make performing restoration services more difficult.
While home restoration can be accomplished using smaller pumps and vacuums, commercial properties may require the use of larger, industrial-grade equipment.
It can also require much more equipment and cleaning supplies and may require a greater amount of personnel to tackle the job properly.
- Commercial restoration may require more expertise- because commercial properties are larger and more complex performing a full restoration may require more extensive expertise and training as well as experience.
Your business is your financial lifeline and you can’t afford to leave it in the hands of a restoration company that isn’t adequately prepared to handle the job.
- Commercial projects can have time constraints – when it comes to business, time can quite literally be money. You can’t afford to have your business shut down any longer than is absolutely necessary.
The best commercial restoration contractor will understand the need to move as quickly as possible so that your business can get back up and running.

Is your business protected?

SERVPRO ERP Program
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), 40% of businesses DO NOT REOPEN after a disaster, and another 25% FAIL WITHIN ONE YEAR. The United States Small Business Administration shows similar statistics indicating that over 90% of businesses fail within 2 years after suffering a disaster.
Most business owners focus on protecting their businesses from earthquakes, floods, and fires. However, the smaller incidents can be just as catastrophic such as burglary or water damage. These can result in immense losses due to damage and lost business.
What can you do to survive?
To survive, business owners must prepare for emergencies and take steps to prevent or, at the very least, minimize the effect of disasters. The first step is to be aware of the condition of your building. Document existing problems such as any wall cracks or plumbing issues and when repairs are made. As the owner, this allows you to keep up with necessary repairs and maintenance before it becomes a problem. This will allow your employees to stay calm and productive, knowing that the building is safe and sound.
The second step is to have a Disaster Preparedness Plan. Have copies of your Plan in areas easily accessible to all employees with a list of emergency contacts, shut-off valves for gas and water, as well, like any other important contacts or documents. SERVPRO of Grand Junction can help you prepare an Emergency Ready Program (ERP), which will contain the above necessary information at no cost to you.
Commercial Mitigation
12/1/2020 (Permalink)
Sprinkler systems can be a common source of water damage in commercial facilities. While their benefits far outweigh their cons, both properly and improperly working sprinkler systems can contribute to a flooded facility. In this case, a fire in an adjacent building caused the sprinkler system in this building to go off over the weekend. The sprinkler shut-off was eventually found, but not until the damage had affected the facility's 36,000 sq ft. If this was your facility, what would you do?

What is a Large Loss?
7/6/2020 (Permalink)
A disaster has hit your home or business and left behind an excessive amount of damage. In the blink of an eye, you’ve lost your property and belongings. You’re also potentially looking at spending a large amount of money and time on repairs and renovations. Because of the extent of the damage, you will most likely be looking at a large-loss situation. But what exactly does that mean? What steps should you take to start putting your life back together? Fortunately, knowing what to expect and who to contact in a large-loss situation can help you wade through a lot of the unknown.
What is Large Loss?
For the most part, “large loss” is exactly what it sounds like. It’s any situation where there’s been a significant amount of damage to your property. For example, if a home has suffered a fire or several inches of flooding, the damage would most likely be extensive. There may be thousands of dollars worth of damage to the structure of the home and its contents. But determining whether damage constitutes as large loss is not just dependent on the amount of money involved, it varies per situation. Unfortunately, this means that there’s no set of rules or instructions to help you wade through it all. There are, however, several factors that can assist in determining whether or not your damage constitutes as large loss.
Damage can usually be considered a large loss when:
- A significant area or portion of a structure is damaged
- Damage results in a very complex set of repairs to restore things to their original state
- Most of the structure has to be replaced
- A large part of the business is put to a halt because of the damage
When you break it down, a large-loss project can be categorized by one or more of several different factors:
- The cost to restore the use of the structure to a “like new” condition
- The sheer size of a facility
- The specific use or purpose of a facility
While there is no structure or facility that is 100% safe from damage, some are definitely more time-consuming and pose more of a challenge to resolve.
Large Loss and Insurance
When disaster strikes, you need to know that your insurance company has your back. Being confident that you’re taken care of will help you begin the process of clean up, restoration and recovery. When it comes to insurance restoration, the extent of the damage to your structure will determine how your claim is handled and the steps you will need to take to move forward. You could be hit with the daunting task of renovating or rebuilding your property. In many cases, you may also have the added responsibility of replacing or salvaging things like documents, materials, equipment, or memorabilia. Regardless of what your situation looks like, it’s important to know just what your insurance policy covers.
What Will My Insurance Cover?
Before damage hits your home or business, it’s important to understand what your insurance policy does and does not cover. If you aren’t sure what you’re protected from, now might be a good time to call your insurance agent and find out!
Typically, your insurance policy pays to rebuild or repair your home or office building if it is ever damaged or destroyed by things like lightning, hail, a fire, a hurricane, or other disasters or accidents noted in your policy. Keep in mind, however, that many standard home insurance policies do not cover damage caused by an earthquake or flood. Knowing this ahead of time and having clarity on just what is included in your coverage could save you a huge headache in the event that you ever need to file a large loss claim.
What Should I Look For?
When searching for insurance coverage, your policy should cover the cost of clean up and repairs from natural disasters. It should also cover the cost of bringing your building up to code compliance. Remember, codes change over time. If your building was not in compliance at the time the damage occurred, you will want to make sure that gets addressed once you start repairing or rebuilding. Your policy may also cover additional living expenses. This includes things like renting an apartment or paying for your hotel stay while your home is under renovation. To make sure you’re well-covered, search for a policy that will pay to have your home rebuilt, if needed. The more protection you have, the better off you’ll be in the event of a disaster.
Single Structure Loss
Homeowners insurance coverage typically provides financial protection against damage or loss due to accidents, theft, and other disasters. This could include things like flooding and water damage, storm damage and electrical fires. When it comes to suffering large loss, you want to make sure you’re well-covered. We often use $50,000 as a break point of what really constitutes a large loss for a single structure. Other factors could be the number of affected floors of a multi-story building or the size and square footage of the facility itself.
Weather Disaster
A weather disaster that has destroyed multiple homes, communities, or even a large portion of a city or town is very clearly considered a large loss. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires all tend to do an extensive amount of damage. Some of the more memorable natural disasters over the last few years have resulted in billions upon billions of dollars in damages:
- Colorado Wildfires
- Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas
- Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle and the Gulf Coast
- Northern California Wildfires
- Hurricane Florence on the East Coast, specifically the Carolina's
- Southern California Wildfires
- Hurricane Irma in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Cuba
And so many more
What To Do After a Business Fire
4/16/2020 (Permalink)
Install a security fence after a fire to protect your business in Edwards, CO
A fire to your Edwards, CO, business can leave your property vulnerable. Fortunately, installing a security fence and taking other safety measures can help keep your property safe from vandals and wildlife.
Securing the Property
After the fire has been extinguished, do not return to the property until the fire department says it is safe to do so. Once you have access to your property, taking the following actions can help you protect your business:
- Install a security fence
- Board up broken windows and other openings
- Tarp over damaged areas of the roof
In addition to damage from the fire itself, the firefighters may have broken windows or created other openings during their fire-extinguishing efforts. Therefore, the building could have several entry points for vandals and wildlife. It is important to board up or tarp over these areas. Installing a fence adds another layer of protection. If damage occurs after the fire has been extinguished and the insurance company determines the damage resulted from the building not being properly secured, they may deny that portion of the claim. If anyone enters the property, even without permission, and gets injured, the business could be held liable.
Restoring the Property
After the property has been secured, it is time to document the damage and begin restoration. Take a detailed photo or video evidence for the insurance company so that they can adequately assess the property. Then remove the water from the fire-suppression efforts. Do this as quickly as possible because mold can begin to grow within 24 hours. Next, clean the smoke and soot from the surfaces. Clean and sanitize affected areas. Throw everything away that cannot be fully dried and cleaned. Finally, begin repairing and replacing damaged items.
From installing a security fence to smoke cleaning, taking care of your commercial property after a fire can be a complicated endeavor. Fortunately, a certified restoration service can help you get your business back to normal quickly and safely.
Storm Damage: Cleaning Up After the Flood

Storm Damage: Cleaning Up After the Flood
The hardest part of flood damage restoration is sorting the salvageable things from those that will end up in a landfill. You might have to throw away expensive or sentimental stuff, and that can feel like a waste of money. However, your health and safety depend on the decisions you make at this point.
Here are some of the things you should look out for when content cleaning in Silverthorne, CO:
- Utilities
- Electronics, furniture, and carpets
- Walls and floors
Disconnect Utility Lines
Shut off the power and gas supply as the first thing you do after arriving on site. Still, do not assume the power is off just because you flipped a switch in the circuit breaker box. It is safer to double-check the current using a non-contact voltmeter before doing anything else. If in doubt, call a qualified electrician and have them disconnect the power.
Electronics, Furniture, and Carpets
At this point, you are ready to start content cleaning. Remove everything from the building, including furniture, electronics, and carpets for individual attention and water removal. Then have an electrician attempt to save your most valuable equipment.
You can hose down all non-porous materials such as metals and get away with it, but you might have to throw away any upholstered furniture. Walls and Floors
Sometimes, water might seep through the walls and floors, causing rot, mold and insect infestation. For this reason, it is important to have a restoration company check out the entire building for signs of structural and black water damage. Any issues should be addressed immediately to prevent degradation or something worse.
Content cleaning after a flood can be time-consuming and expensive, but it’s nothing compared to the health and financial implications of not doing it correctly. The general idea is to save as much non-porous stuff as you possibly can, and have all porous things cleaned by an expert.
Commercial Mold - How To Prevent Mold Reoccurrence
1/7/2020 (Permalink)
Call SERVPRO right away after a water damage to keep mold from growing
Mold growth in your Dillon, CO, commercial building can be a major hassle, especially if it is persistent and recurring. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep mildew from returning after a successful cleanup job.
Invest in Mold-Resistant Products
During the restoration process, you may find yourself repairing and replacing damaged items. There are mold-resistant alternatives available for many products, including the following:
- Fabrics
- Carpet
- Drywall
- Paint and primer
Remember that paint, even a mold-resistant formula, will not kill the mold. You still need to remove the mildew before painting over it.
Keep the Area Dry
Even after thorough remediation, there will still be mold spores in the area. If the conditions are right, these spores create new hyphae, which in turn release more spores. Moisture, even high humidity, can lead to an infestation, so keep the area as dry as possible. Keep indoor humidity below 50%, and address any water damage or spills immediately.
Check for Signs of Mold Growth
In addition to keeping your building dry, a key factor in preventing mold reoccurrence is routinely checking for new growth. If you catch mold in time, the cleanup process will be much easier. Be sure to check all previously affected areas as well as other mold-friendly locations, such as bathrooms, basements, carpeting and paper goods. In addition to visible mold, there are many other indicators to watch for. These include a musty odor, warped drywall or flooring, peeling paint and other signs of deterioration. If you notice any of these, you may need to hire a professional to locate the infestation. Make sure to keep up with the routine maintenance and inspections of the HVAC system as well. The technician can let you know if there is a mold problem in the ductwork.
If the mold growth does return, you may want to call a certified restoration company. They can restore your business to its pre-mold condition quickly and safely.
Does Your Commercial Property Have A Mold Problem?
12/26/2019 (Permalink)
Be careful! Without proper training, you could be spreading mold throughout your commercial property.
In the High Rockies, even with low humidity, mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.

How To Remove Flood Odors From Your Commercial Building

Flooded building in Edwards, CO
How To Remove Flood Odors From Your Commercial Building
When flooding strikes Edwards, CO, your commercial building could be affected in a variety of ways, including weakened or damaged building materials, ruined carpeting and mold growth. This latter issue can be especially troubling, as it can cause a foul odor that could travel throughout the structure. If your property recently experienced a flood, there are a few ways you can reduce and eliminate flood odors, no matter their cause.
Identify the Source of the Smell
Not all water damage odors have the same source. In fact, some can be quite strong and be the result of several different causes that might include:
- Sewage loss
- Black mold growth
- Dirty outdoor floodwaters
Once you identify the cause of the smell, it may be simpler to employ deodorizing techniques.
Lower Indoor Humidity Levels
When indoor flooding occurs, rising flood water levels can also raise humidity levels. As the humidity increases, this can also cause dirty water to smell increasingly worse as well. To prevent this, open windows and use ceiling fans during a flood cleanup to keep air circulating. Remember to ensure the room’s electrical outlets are dry and still functioning if you plan to use large floor fans to reduce humidity levels.
Turn Off the HVAC System
While your building’s heating, ventilation and cooling system might be effective in lowering the humidity during storm cleanup, it might also spread foul odors to other areas of the building and allow mold spores to travel more rapidly. As you assess storm damage, You may want to leave the system off until water remediation technicians arrive to handle the removal of any fungi growth.
Call in a Professional Odor Removal Service
Once a flood occurs inside your commercial building, it can be difficult to eliminate foul smells on your own, especially if it has multiple floors. A flood mitigation and restoration service can help you handle this issue with several different techniques that include ozone machines, air-cleaning units and specialized cleansers that can help to banish odors for good.
When mold growth and dirty flood waters cause unpleasant odors at your Edwards, CO, business, it can be distressing for your employees and customers. Knowing how to eliminate these smells may prevent business loss and give you peace of mind in the aftermath of a flood.
Commercial Ice Dam and Snow Removal Service
12/11/2019 (Permalink)
Ice dams can cause damage to your shingles and cause leaks if not taken care of properly.
What is an ice dam?
An ice dam is the ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof which prevents melting snow from draining as it should. The water that backs up behind the ice dam can leak into the home and cause damage to walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, and other areas. Most ice dams occur on the lowest edge of your roof.
There are 6 warning signs for ice dams:
1. Your home has had ice dams in the past.
2. You see roof ice– icicles forming on the edge of the roof, or off the front edge of the gutter.
3. Ice is coming through the soffit.
4. Ice is forming behind the gutters (if gutters are present).
5. You see ice or water on the exterior wall.
6. You see water coming through the frame of a door or window.

3 Types of Water Found in Commercial Floods
11/1/2019 (Permalink)
Each incident involves different types of water that a commercial building restoration company will handle in a specific manner
Floods create powerful water damage that can harm your business establishment unless you take quick action. However, not every case is the same. Make the restoration process faster and easier by learning more about the three types of water you might encounter during commercial flooding.
White Water
This type of water is also known as clean water because it is essentially free from any polluting agents. This water comes from sources where it avoids the most contaminants.
Broken pipes
Rainwater
Melting snow
Defective appliances
Even though this is the type of water least damaging to the building, it can still affect the structure and encourage the growth of mold and mildew. You can prevent this by ensuring the water is removed immediately and the affected area is properly dried.
Gray Water
Unlike white water, gray water does include some pathogens that make it more hazardous and more damaging to the structures and objects that touch it. This water may come from a flood started by a malfunctioning toilet, dishwasher or washing machine. Therefore, it may include soap, skin particles or food grease. Water damage caused by this type of liquid can be more difficult to repair and strongly impact anyone cleaning it. You or the people handling gray water may need special equipment to avoid contact.
Black Water
Perhaps the most dangerous kind of water, it includes more powerful contaminants and toxic chemicals, such as sewage matter, dirt, pesticides and bacteria. This water can be harmful to others and it can greatly damage and taint your building, your appliances and anything else in your business. Experienced restoration specialists can use safety gear and special equipment to clear the dangerous water and repair the location.
The fluids involved in flooding can vary in source and composition. From relatively harmless clear water to the foul black water, you may need to identify it to effectively save your Summit, Lake, Park & Eagle Counties, CO business from water damage.
Storm Damage to Roofs
10/23/2019 (Permalink)
Some roofs are simply hardier than others.
A serious storm can cause major problems for your Summit, Lake, Park & Eagle Counties, CO business. Roofs are especially vulnerable to damage, and a roof leak can result in damage to other areas of the structure.
Types of Roof Damage
Knowing what to look for after a storm can help you spot any problem areas and repair them quickly. The following are some common forms of roof damage that you may encounter:
Cracked, dented or missing shingles
Damaged sealant
Peeling or curling shingles
Mitigating Roof Damage
If your business suffers a damaged roof, the problems can compound quickly. A roof leak, in particular, can lead to water damage and mold growth in other areas of the building. After a storm, it is important to inspect the roof of the building. After taking photos of the damage to submit to your insurance company, use plywood or tarpaulin to patch any weak spots in the roof temporarily. Then call a trusted roofing contractor to repair or replace the roof.
Preventing Roof Damage
All roofs are going to be exposed to the elements every day and night for the life of the roof. While a strong storm can damage a roof in a very short period, long-term exposure to heating/cooling cycles and rain will degrade roofing materials over time. As the roof ages, it becomes more vulnerable to storm damage. Regular inspections by a trusted roofer can help keep your roof in good shape for years. Metal roofs, in particular, are very sturdy and may last up to fifty years. Asphalt shingles, however, generally last less than twenty years.
A certified restoration company can help you with all your storm damage needs. In addition to treating any water damage inside the building, they may be able to tarp over your damaged roof and recommend a reputable roofing contractor to help with a roof leak and other damage.
Tips for Restoring Your Company’s Flood-Damaged Documents

Wet documents are vulnerable to permanent damage if they are not addressed right away
Tips for Restoring Your Company’s Flood-Damaged Documents
If your business in Breckenridge, CO, has sustained flood damage, you are undoubtedly concerned about your property. Wet documents are vulnerable to permanent damage if they are not addressed right away. It is recommended that you hire a water restoration specialist with document services to facilitate the cleanup process.
Why Professional Assistance?
Floodwater can cause irreversible damage to your business documents. Because wet paper degrades quickly, time is of the essence. Here’s why hiring a professional cleanup and restoration company is essential to proper document handling.
Trained professionals work quickly to minimize secondary damage that can increase with time.
Experts are trained to safely extract highly contaminated floodwater from your wet documents.
Dangerous contamination is not always visible to the naked eye, and specialized equipment can better ensure complete sanitation.
Turning over your valuable documents to strangers can be unsettling. The more you know about what to expect, the more comfortable you may feel with the process.
What Happens to Your Documents?
Your important papers undoubtedly have significant value for your company. Client files, proposals, books, and other paper documents are often irreplaceable, making them a high-priority. Restoration crews generally use specialized equipment for document freezing as well as document drying and sanitizing. The team will begin by carefully gathering your papers and transporting them to a large freeze-drying facility. Freezing slows the deterioration of the paper and provides time for planning the restoration process.
The frozen documents are generally dried in a warming room equipped with special systems that vaporize the moisture and remove it from the environment. Because flood water causes severe contamination, an irradiation process may also be necessary for sanitization. Security protection is often offered as part of restoring your wet documents. HIPAA certified professionals will usually supervise the process, ensuring your valuable papers are handled confidentially.
Water damage from flooding presents an unsettling situation for you and your company. If your important business documents sustain damage, you will likely benefit from hiring a restoration company with document services. Professionals can provide state-of-the-art methods essential to restoring your irreplaceable documents as well as your peace of mind.
3 Types of Flood Water and How They Can Affect Your Workplace
9/12/2019 (Permalink)
Every business owner should know these three categories of water damage.
As a business leader, you're concerned about the profitability of your company. You also have responsibility for the safety and well-being of your employees and for the integrity and functionality of your organization.

The more you understand these, the better response you can have in your Summit, Lake, Park & Eagle Counties, CO, workplace.

-A toilet overthrow
-Backed-up sewer line

-Broken or leaking pipes
-Damaged foundation

Category 3, Black Water
