Mold in the Workplace

3/28/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda can remediate mold infestations in all kinds of commercial properties.

Mold is highly adaptable and can grow in many environments and conditions. Moisture inside a property can allow for many types of mold. Excess moisture is a critical factor contributing to mold growth. The most common threads between molds are moisture, darkness, plentiful food sources, and moderate temperatures.

Different commercial properties will have varying environments for this mold to grow, meaning that your property may be more or less susceptible to mold depending on the business.

Below is a list of a few examples of the types of businesses that are most susceptible: (Though we receive calls from all types of businesses with mold issues.)

  • Industrial Settings - Some settings with moist environments can be excellent for mold growth. Commercial areas often with unused areas, lots of corners, and neglected space are perfect places for mold growth. Industrial workers also have a tendency to ignore mold growth under the assumption that it is a mess from another part of the job.
  • Apartments, Rental Properties, and Hotels - Mold tends to want to live where we want to live given the moderate temperatures we keep ourselves. As a result of this, landlords and hotel owners are some of the most afflicted business owners when it comes to mold, especially when spaces are inhabited frequently and for short periods of time. Renters can contribute to mold growth without knowing, and with their short stay may not notice it while they are there. Regular checkups are essential in the fight against long term mold growth.
  • Restaurants - Food service is the most common business for mold damage in Sacramento. With food preparation, there is an ample source of nutrients, plenty of water, and a humid working environment. Unnoticed scraps of food can fall, or find itself out of sight where mold can grow and spread.

SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda has countless experiences with handling, cleaning, and restoring commercial properties with mold. We offer professional damage restoration and cleaning services, with the training needed for even the toughest commercial jobs. Call us at (916) 991-1522.

SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda is here to help businesses in the greater Sacramento area with their water damage based issues.

Damage will often be visible, but can just as well not be readily apparent to you. When it comes to bacteria and pathogens, this is especially critical as uncleaned areas from these issues can and will spread. Furthermore, water can spread into materials, damage, warp, and ultimately permanently change them.

An important part of the drying process for the quickest cleaning, is the pack-away of items off-site. This provides security from damage during the cleaning and repairing process and also protects against theft of supplies and inventory. SERVPRO is here to help.

SERVPRO water and mold damage Examples of water and mold damage we have encountered in our many years of service for the greater Sacramento area.

There are a multitude of ways that your business may receive water damage.

One of which could be, the water source inside the building. Whether it's water for a client such as food preparation, or services such as dentistry or cleaning, all water sources are at risk for leaks or breakage. Failures in these systems, high pressure or not, can and will lead to water damage in your commercial business. 

The best way to solve this issue is to allow training professionals to assess the damage and act accordingly.

Our technicians at SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda are IICRC certified to tackle water damage due to flooding, toilet overflows, sewer backups, pipe breakages, and more. Dirty water from sewage, drains, or floods especially needs expert care and removal to prevent the spread of pathogens that may exist in these conditions. 

Damage will often be visible, but can also be unnoticeable to the human eye.

When it comes to bacteria and pathogens, this is especially critical as unclean areas from these issues can and will spread. Some areas that moisture hides are, under and around items inside your business and inside of walls. One important part of the drying process for the quickest cleaning can be to pack-away items off-site. This provides security from damage during the cleaning and build back process of your business.  

SERVPRO is here to help!

If your business or home, in the greater Sacramento area has water damage. Call us at (916)991-1522. We are available 24/7 to help get your business back on track. For more information on commercial or other services, visit our website.

Rain, sprinklers, or other sources of moisture may then move into the property where it will create an ideal environment for mold. 

SERVPRO of North Highlands and Rio Linda is here to help you remediate and restore damage to your property after it has been vandalized or unattended for a long period of time.

Be Concerned With Your Office Cleanliness!

Cleaning Your Office Is Important Cleaning Your Office Is Important

Have you ever considered how an office space might affect your health?  Industry research consistently reveals that office environments can be breeding grounds for germs.  Notice these statistics:

  • The average desk harbors about 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, with some of these bacteria types being incredibly harmful and contributing to the spread of disease.
  • Office phones have been found to harbor 25,127 germs per square inch.  And, these germs can be different types of bacteria – everything from Helicobacter pylori, to E- Coli.
  • Office kitchenettes can be heavy ‘sickness-inducing’ germ offenders.  For example, refrigerator handles, cabinet tops, water coolers and the like can host a heavy concentration of germs.  Research showed one office water cooler to house 2.7 million germs per square inch!  
  • A survey of 1,000 office workers found that over two-thirds of workers put themselves at risk by not following recommended guidelines for how often to clean your workspace.

Thus, the cleanliness of your office can directly affect the health of office employees and customers.  Cold and flu season can greatly exacerbate the risk.  Your Facility Manager and Cleaning Company should be concerned with your office cleanliness to reduce harmful germs and bacteria.

Here are a few reminders of high impact office cleaning tasks:

  • Keep entrance glass spotless.  Smudges and a ‘greasy look’ will generate an immediate negative perception.
  • Foyer and lobby floors should be well maintained.  Even small amounts of debris and dirt can give the impression the ‘whole office must be dirty.’
  • What about odors when entering your office suite?  Does it smell clean and fresh?  Or possibly stale or ‘slightly off’?  Often, carpets can be the culprit in office odor.  Regular professional carpet cleaning is highly recommended.
  • Dirty HVAC vents and returns will quickly relay an unclean environment.  Use a HEPA vacuum to thoroughly clean vents without dust reintroduction.
  • Water fountains and water coolers that reflect stains, debris, and standing water are off-putting and unsanitary.  Often daily sanitizing is necessary to maintain a clean look and healthy use.  Also, take note of carpet stains or wet areas caused by leaking fountains.

Thus, a clean office will assuredly enhance your brand reputation.  However, a dirty one will drive opinions to the negative, and this can indeed spread quickly via word-of-mouth, social media, and online reviews.  Ensure you have a strong commercial cleaning program.  Foot traffic, geography, industry and the like play an important role in cleaning tasks and frequency.

Keep Your Office Clean by Anticipating Changes

7/1/2020 (Permalink)

Take care of everyone by keeping your office clean Take care of everyone by keeping your office clean

Keep your office clean by anticipating changes.  How so?  We’ll start by focusing on a proactive versus a reactive mentality.  For example, If you have guests over to watch a game, you don’t wait until the guests arrive and then check if you have enough snacks and drinks.  Rather, you take a proactive approach and prepare for the increase in people in your home.  Indeed, it takes a bit of proactive planning!  You don’t want to be reactive and wait until your party has started to address your guest’s needs.

In like manner, to keep your office clean, avoiding a reactive state is vital.  Many factors will affect the cleanliness of an office.  A little bit of planning can go a long way to maintaining a clean office.  Here are a few ideas that can help you stay ahead of the curb.

Factor 1:  Weather & Foot Traffic

Many businesses see an increase in foot traffic at predictable times of the year.  For example, the warm spring season brings about an army of landscapers!  This often leads to outside debris bring tracked indoors.  In addition, the change in weather often energizes employees for more outdoor breaks and lunch activities.  This means more outdoor-to-indoor foot traffic.  Thus, it’s important to proactively plan for these changes.  Here are a few ways that can help:

  • Increase winter time floor cleaning activities with your janitorial vendor.
  • Schedule professional carpet cleanings well in advance.
  • Increase your janitorial vendor’s cleaning schedule.  For example, add Saturday’s during the spring season.

Winter can bring a whole new set of challenges.  Often, roads and walkways are covered in salt.  This can be tracked into your building and wreak havoc on hard floor surfaces.  It can even cause dangerous slipperiness.  Prepare for this winter change by adjusting your floor cleaning routine.  Do you typically wet mop the lobby twice a week as an example?  It might be best to increase this rotation.  It can also be helpful to machine auto-scrub large hard floor areas with heavy foot traffic.

Factor 2:  Construction Projects

Office building construction projects can greatly complicate office cleaning success.  If your facility is having remodeling or repairs performed, you can expect all types of debris!  Drywall dust, wood shavings, paint splatter, and all manner of dirt.  This is especially evident after large scale construction work.  If not prepared for, these projects can leave an office space covered in drywall dust, even in areas where the construction is not active.  The impact of this can be catastrophic for medical office environments, data centers, labs, and other critical environments in your building.

Be sure and notify your cleaning company of the upcoming construction.  Work with them to ensure a solid plan for the construction.  Even the smallest amount of construction can have an impact on customers and patrons.

Also, a reputable cleaning company that has experience handling post-construction cleaning as a specialized service could be necessary.  Such a cleaning company will know details that a less experienced company might not, such as:

• Post-construction cleaning requires several cleaning phases of the same area.
• Dust will continue to settle on surfaces many days after construction is complete.
• Special attention must be given to high reach areas, HVAC systems, computer rooms and more.

Your experienced janitorial vendor can help you with the planning and response to construction activities in your facility.

Factor 3: Cold & Flu Season

Every year thousands of people catch colds and the dreaded flu.  Many of these people will enter office spaces, bringing these contagious germs with them.  What can an office do to prepare for this?

Having the proper cleaning supplies and cleaning rotation is paramount.  There are many types of cleaning agents, but not all are designed to deal with cold and flu germs.  Make sure you have proper disinfecting and sanitizing cleaning agents.  Also, make sure they are used correctly.  Areas like lobby’s, bathroom touchpoints, lunchroom touchpoints, doorknobs and the like need to be consistently sanitized.

In addition, having good office environment hygiene is a major factor in keeping the spread of germs down.   Thus, consider training staff to the following:

• Washing hands regularly and thoroughly.
• Sanitizing shared office supplies and equipment.
• Keep disinfectant wipes around the office and in bathrooms.
• Encourage sick employees to stay home and not share germs!

Best DIY Pet Stain Removal Solution

7/1/2020 (Permalink)

Keep Your House Clean & Your Fury Friend Happy Keep Your House Clean & Your Fury Friend Happy

Even when you have a well-trained furry friend, accidents can still happen.  If the stain they left behind is not properly cleaned right away, it may take the right carpet cleaning professional to get your floor looking and smelling like new again.

When you think of SERVPRO of North Highland/ Rio Linda you probably know we are the industry’s leading experts when it comes to fire and water restoration, but did you also know we can also help you tackle the less disastrous messes, like the ones your favorite pet might occasionally leave behind?

 That’s right, if you live in the Seattle area, SERVPRO of North Highlands/ Rio Linda will help you with your carpet cleaning and odor elimination by using our state of the art equipment. Our experienced technicians are experts at deodorizing and eliminating the source of the odor. For good! Because almost nothing is worse than walking into a home that smells like pet urine! Even if you can’t see the stain, many times it will have saturated the carpet padding underneath, causing a foul smell you won’t be able to get rid without the help of a trained professional.

However, for the smaller pet stain problems you might encounter, here are a couple of inexpensive and easy solutions our experts recommend to help solve your pet stain and odor problems. 

The sooner the better when it comes to cleaning urine stains.  If you can blot the stain with paper towels when it is still wet you will decrease your chances of having a permanent stain. Once all the excess liquid has been absorbed mix the following simple solution together, put it into a spray bottle, and then spray directly on the stain.  Let it sit for at least 10 minutes then use more paper towels to let it dry.

Pet Stain Remover

2 cups vinegar

2 cups warm water

4 tbls of baking soda

You can also use the baking soda/vinegar method for older stains that have settled into the carpet.  However instead of lightly spraying, pour the vinegar directly on to the soiled spot, followed by a couple tablespoons of baking soda over the top of the vinegar. Let it sit and dry for 24 hours, before sweeping and vacuuming up the remaining amount of baking soda.

So some squatters moved in while you glanced away from a property?

You have finally been able to contact local authorities and had the issue with the people in the property resolved. However, you are left with the aftermath of their unique choices of living arrangements.

The squatters are out, but my property is an absolute disaster!

Don't worry! Call SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda and we can help you with anything you need!

  • Fire, soot, water, and mold damage mitigation

Squatters have no care for your property whatsoever. They have no fear of local laws or any form of liability. Therefore the results of unlawful inhabitance in your property could be anywhere from relatively contained to massively widespread.

We have the experience and training to help you through this. We will be able to guide you to what needs to be done if this is your first time dealing with these problems, we can get to work immediately if you are already experienced with the processes involved in these situations.

Your Business Should Never Suffer Due to Bad Scheduling

4/24/2019 (Permalink)

We set up a way for this local skating rink to continue their normal operations throughout this water loss through barriers and careful scheduling.

When disaster strikes your Sacramento business, you can’t afford to just “shut down” until it is taken care of.

Here at SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda we know what it is like to run a business, and that every second wasted is lost profit.

While everyone is concerned about getting the job done fast, we also take great care in planning what order things need to get done. Let’s say a pipe in the attic of your business bursts, if you need to run your fax machine to enable your profits and an I.T. isn’t scheduled to be onsite to evaluate your machine until after the drying is complete, that is pure loss of profit. That is why with your commercial property the most important factor of our work is tackling every obstacle with proper organization. If we can set up temp offices in an unaffected area but that was the only fax machine, then drying is not the highest concern at this time. Our highest concern will always be your bottom dollar.

Through constant communication and intelligent scheduling we will work with you to plan the quickest and most efficient way for you to get back on track as soon as humanly possible. After all, if you run a company you need income to stay afloat, so any problem that is not a direct opposition to income can wait its turn.

Does your business need a job done not only fast, but right? Then call us today at 916-991-1522!

Different Causes of Commercial Water Damage

SERVPRO of North Highlands and Rio Linda provides business owners with commercial water damage restoration services

Most businesses have a source of water in their building. For some, this may be crucial, others it may be secondary. Whether it's water for a client such as food preparation, or services such as dentistry or cleaning, all water sources are at risk for leaks or breakage. Failures in these systems, high pressure or not, can and will lead to water damage in your commercial business. SERVPRO of North Highlands and Rio Linda is here to help Sacramento businesses with their water damage based issues.

There are a multitude of ways to receive water damage, but the best way to solve this issue is to allow trained professionals to assess the damage and act accordingly. Our North Highlands and Rio Linda SERVPRO technicians are prepared and IICRC certified to tackle water damage due to flooding, toilet overflows, sewer backups, pipe breakages, and more. Even clean water needs to be removed professionally to prevent further damage. Dirty water from sewage, drains, or floods especially needs expert care and removal to prevent the spread of pathogens that may exist in these conditions.

Damage will often be visible, but can just as well not be readily apparent to you. When it comes to bacteria and pathogens, this is especially critical as uncleaned areas from these issues can and will spread. Furthermore, water can spread into materials, damage, warp, and ultimately permanently change them.

An important part of the drying process for the quickest cleaning, is the pack-away of items off-site. This provides security from damage during the cleaning and repairing process and also protects against theft of supplies and inventory. SERVPRO is here to help.

If you face water damage, commercial or otherwise in sacramento: call us at (916) 991-1522. We are available 24/7 to help with get your business back on track. For more information on commercial services, visit our website.

At-Risk Types of Businesses for Commercial Mold Damage in Sacramento

4/28/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Can Remediate Mold Infestations in All Kinds of Businesses

Moisture in homes can allow for many types of mold. Molds are highly adaptable and can grow in many environments and conditions. The most common threads between mold are moisture, darkness, plentiful food sources, and moderate temperatures. Different businesses and different types will have varying environments for this mold to grow, meaning that your commercial property may be more or less susceptible to mold depending on the business. Below is a list of a few of the types of businesses that are most susceptible, though we receive calls from all types of businesses with mold issues.

Industrial Settings - Some settings with moist environments can be excellent for mold growth. Commercial areas often with unused areas, lots of corners, and neglected space are perfect places for mold growth. Industrial workers also have a tendency to ignore mold growth under the assumption that it is a mess from another part of the job.

Apartments, Rental Properties, and Hotels - Mold tends to want to live where we want to live given the moderate temperatures we keep ourselves. As a result of this, landlords and hotel owners are some of the most afflicted business owners when it comes to mold, especially when spaces are inhabited frequently and for short periods of time. Renters can contribute to mold growth without knowing, and with their short stay may not notice it while they are there. Regular checkups are essential in the fight against long term mold growth.

Restaurants - Food service is the most common business for mold damage in Sacramento. With food preparation, there is an ample source of nutrients, plenty of water, and a humid working environment. Unnoticed scraps of food can fall, or find itself out of sight where mold can grow and spread.

SERVPRO of North Highlands & Rio Linda offers professional damage restoration and cleaning services, with the training needed for even the toughest commercial jobs. Call us at (916) 991-1522, or view our mold services here

Dust, Mold, and Electricity Bills: Clean Your Ducts

1/5/2018 (Permalink)

When it to the cleanliness of your office, the cleanliness of the air is an important consideration. If your ducts are collecting and possibly spreading dusty and dirty air around your office, the office itself will get dustier. Ducts can be the most unsanitary part of a building, regular cleaning of ducts is part of proper building maintenance.

Alongside dust, the other main consideration for duct dirt and grime is possible mold growth. A duct can be a cool, and damp place where mold growth will flourish. With the proper food and temperature, mold will grow anywhere. If it is growing in your ducts, this can lead to the quick spreading of spores throughout your property.

As a benefit to cleaning the ducts, you can count on some increased efficiency too. Ducts and HVAC systems are designed with the ductwork in mind, if there are blockages and materials that cause lack of efficiency, this will be reflected in your power bill. But conducting proper maintenance, you can prevent that loss.

Cleanliness is Key for Your Sacramento Business

Keeping clean is important for your Sacramento business

Your business, when dealing with customers, will leave a positive impression if it clean. When it comes to the people that are supporting your business, you want to make them feel they are in the right place for their business. If there are visible dirt spots, stains, or other wear and tear on your carpets, this may give your customers a negative opinion of your business.

For large projects, or a professional cleaning, contact us. For everything us, here are a few tips that can help you keep a general level of cleanliness for your carpets.

Stains and spots are different, if a liquid spills you should immediately blot it with a towel, rag, or paper towel to absorb as much of the liquid as possible. Try not to wipe or rub this are as you can increase the amount of staining that affects the carpet which will be more difficult to manage.

If you have a spot, try and pre-spray cleaning solution onto the spot. Cleaning solutions often have chemicals designed to break down the dirt, grime, oil, or spill that causes spots. Always read the directions on the products you are using, as if improperly used it is possible that you could do more harm than good. In the same vein, a routine cleaning regimen helps to prevent permanent staining over time.

Before doing a deep carpet cleaning, be sure to vacuum before hand to remove excess material from the carpet. In doing this you are allowing the cleaning product you are applying to work as effectively as possible.

What You Should Think About Before Leasing in Sacramento

8/28/2017 (Permalink)

Leases are an important decision in your business, be sure to make the right one.

There are lots of factors to consider when finding space for your business, here are a few tips and resources to get you started.

Whether you are starting a new business, expanding your current business, or even moving a business you need to make sure you are making the right decision. Asking the right questions is the best way to finding the information you need.

  1. Who is the Landlord? Who owns the building?

It is important to know who the people you are going to be renting from, and what their background are like. You can change the way you approach negotiation, or have an understanding for what their expectations will be.

  1. How long has the building been owned by the current owners?

Depending on the answer to this, they may have more or less likelihood to keep it, or to possibly sell it in the future. Having the property be sold while you are leasing can be disruptive and should be avoided. New owners will also probably have a high mortgage cost, making renting from them more expensive than normal.

  1. Is the landlord/property manager/building owner close?

Should you need to reach any of these for any reason, it is important that they are close. Whether you need a decision, have a question, or any concerns having all of these easily accessible is a good thing.

  1. What businesses have been in the building, what is the history?

Depending on the age, you may have more considerations for upkeep once you have moved into the space. As well, if a similar business has operated here and had to shut down, you should find out why that happened and possibly avoid the space if it is a concern for your business.

  1. Who were the last tenants and why did they leave?

If you can find these tenants, they can provide valuable information for dealing with the landlord, rental agency, or property management.

  1. Are there plans to sell?

Plans to sell the building you are leasing will prove disruptive to your business. One strategy of a person looking to sell may involve increasing rates to increase the market value of the property.

  1. Who is the largest tenant?

Also known as anchor tenants, these tenants likely pay the most rent for the building and can have large effects on the traffic driven to a particular property. If they are about to move or leave, you should know about it before leasing a property.

From your friends at SERVPRO of North Highlands and Rio Linda, we hope the next time you move your local business, or start one you make the right decision. Be sure to check out our other blogs to find out if your business is at risk for mold, and what you can do to prevent mold, water, and fire damage.

With fire damage and possible water damage to your Sacramento home, there are many steps from start to finish to make your property “Like It Never Even Happened”.

Start Your Year Off Right - SERVPRO of North Highlands & Rio Linda Tips to Stay Organized

6/19/2017 (Permalink)

Office Organization

Need to keep your Sacramento office fresh? Here are a few tips to help you out.

  1. Give everything a place. If you need more storage, add more storage. Making sure you have a place to store the things you need is important, making sure it's stored properly means you can find it later. Organization is key in efficiency.
  2. File paperwork regularly. Walking into a messy office makes work more difficult and daunting. Avoid this by sorting and filing things properly in your newfound storage, so you can find them again.
  3. Move paperwork off your desk. If there isn’t somewhere to store every little thing, it ends up in the last place it was left; your desk.
  4. Get rid of what you don’t need. If it is not absolutely necessary, toss it. Does this item have unnecessary multiples? Does it have a purpose? Is it outdated? Did you even remember you had it before you started your cleaning? Do you really need it?
  5. Address your problem areas. Find out what is the messiest part of your office, and focus on that first. Often one large problem area can spill into other problem areas. Put things in their permanent locations to avoid the cluttering of them in the first place.
  6. Hide your cables. Cables can often be a source of mess, and a safety hazard. Cable ties, cable organizers, or hidden areas can be a great way to keep them neat and tidy.
  7. Clean and disinfect. Do it yourself, or hire a professional. We can often forget about something as simple as cleaning the office, but is certainly worth the effort.
  8. Keep your computers clean, too. Sorting your files away on your computer can make an old computer seem fresh again. Being able to find everything you need in a quick way can help you on task and efficient.

Whether its giving tips on how to declutter or providing 24/7 emergency services, SERVPRO of Rio Linda and North Highlands is here to help you.

Business Types At-Risk for Commercial Mold Damage in Sacramento

6/19/2017 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Can Remediate Mold Infestations in All Kinds of Sacramento Businesses

Moisture in homes can allow for many types of mold. Molds are highly adaptable and can grow in many environments and conditions. The most common threads between mold are moisture, darkness, plentiful food sources, and moderate temperatures. Different businesses and different types will have varying environments for this mold to grow, meaning that your commercial property may be more or less susceptible to mold depending on the business. Below is a list of a few of the types of businesses that are most susceptible, though we receive calls from all types of businesses with mold issues.

Industrial Settings - Some settings with moist environments can be excellent for mold growth. Commercial areas often with unused areas, lots of corners, and neglected space are perfect places for mold growth. Industrial workers also have a tendency to ignore mold growth under the assumption that it is a mess from another part of the job.

Apartments, Rental Properties, and Hotels - Mold tends to want to live where we want to live given the moderate temperatures we keep ourselves. As a result of this, landlords and hotel owners are some of the most afflicted business owners when it comes to mold, especially when spaces are inhabited frequently and for short periods of time. Renters can contribute to mold growth without knowing, and with their short stay may not notice it while they are there. Regular checkups are essential in the fight against long term mold growth.

Restaurants - Food service is the most common business for mold damage in Sacramento. With food preparation, there is an ample source of nutrients, plenty of water, and a humid working environment. Unnoticed scraps of food can fall, or find itself out of sight where mold can grow and spread.
