Understanding the Need for Tear Out/Demolition Strategies After Commercial Water Damage in San Antonio

After a substantial plumbing leak or equipment malfunction in your San Antonio commercial property, you hope for a fast and successful recovery to get back to business as usual. Our highly qualified Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained managers and technicians might dismay your team when recommending a step that feels like an amplification of the chaos and destruction rather than part of a solution. The following are reasons we must pursue partial demolition after a water damage.

Safety Considerations

Water damage in your San Antonio commercial property must always be assessed initially from a safety standpoint. When we arrive, our crews are ready to begin emergency services, but wait until our project manager scopes for hazards exposing you, your workforce, and our employees to risks that could cause injury or even death. Saturated and deteriorating building materials can fall, topple, and fail to provide structural support underfoot or side to side. To mitigate the chance of continuing damage and clarify the extent of the destruction, we might perform the following actions and more. We adhere to local building regulations after consultation with your insurance company and structural engineers if required.

  • Pull down waterlogged ceilings
  • Remove crumbling drywall and insulation
  • Remove soaked carpet and padding
  • Pull up buckled wood or laminate flooring
  • Clear away dislodged ceramic or other tiles

Creating Access for Water Removal and Drying

Often water migrates far from the original damage. SERVPRO technicians use a range of tools to map out the dimensions of the water spread, including building cavities or recesses where water lies trapped. Because water continues to destroy structural components and moisture provides the perfect environment for mold growth if not removed within 24 to 48 hours, we must be creative in releasing hidden caches of water and planning for efficient drying even in confined spaces. Ways we accomplish these goals include:

  • Flood cuts several inches above the water line on wet drywall to release water and allow warm air flow for drying
  • Drilling holes in mortar joints in cinder or concrete block construction
  • Strategic removal of baseboards and flooring to allow extraction of water between walls and in layers of subflooring
  • Drilling or cutting holes in salvageable structures to allow hoses or other connections to suction water out and/or direct warm, moving air in to normalize the moisture load in building materials.

SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio uses planned demolition techniques for project safety and to remove water and dry out moisture fast, then helping arrange for rebuilding. Call us at (210) 899-1017 to arrange an assessment after your commercial water damage.

What Kinds of Services Qualify as Water Mitigation When My San Antonio Business Suffers Damage?

SERVPRO's Water Mitigation Efforts Prevent Further Damage Inside Your San Antonio Commercial Building

When you hear the word "mitigation" in reference to water damage, remember that the purpose of this initial phase of a water emergency recovery is somewhat like holding up a stop sign. Stop! San Antonio. As our crew steps in faster and more efficiently, we put a halt to progressive water loss. We can then quickly and thoroughly move on to remediation, which comprises the range of work our crews perform to try to undo or erase the effects of the water damage.

Can There Be a "Pause" Phase Before Mitigation Efforts Begin?

When our team arrives at your place of business and water mitigation interventions begin as soon as we complete a basic safety inspection.  We institute adaptations, ensuring that occupants and mitigation technicians can perform duties without the risk of injury or other concern for well-being. This pause before commencing mitigation activities is always necessary but is perhaps most critical when your commercial building has sustained interior or exterior damage threatening the integrity of the structure. There is also the time during this preliminary chapter for you and our crew chief to discuss the direction we recommend the overall project should take.

What Actions Do We Take During the "Pause?"

  • We secure the damaged or wet areas with:
  • Cautionary signage, for example, "wet floor" or "stay behind tape"
  • Boards and tarps
  • Barriers and baffles (to hold back or otherwise manage flooding)

What Input Do You Have?

Before we swing into the full mitigation phase, we discuss with the customer what we intend to accomplish during this portion of our recovery efforts. You have a chance to list any priorities and ask about concerns and special requests.

What Are Some Examples of Water Mitigation in A Commercial Water Damage Scenario?

Once the scene is secured, we concentrate on preventing further damage to both the structural components and contents inside your business space. Our project manager follows the outlines of a general protocol individualized for your circumstance, directing our technicians to perform some or all of the following:

Removal of damaged furnishings for further assessment and building materials inappropriate for remediation or restoration:

  • Wet and crumbled drywall
  • Wet and packed-down insulation
  • Ruined laminate flooring (rarely can this engineered product survive water damage)
  • Padding and perhaps carpeting when the water category is evaluated by one of our experts to be 2 or 3 (most contaminated)

Pack-up of materials judged to be salvageable, staging them in a safe, dry space on your property or at our production facility for further evaluation

  • Pumping or extraction of excess water
  • Pumps used when water is deeper than two inches
  • Truck-mounted extractors used to move large quantities of water Containment of contaminated water for lawful disposal
  • Portable extractors employed in confined areas

Note: Aggressive extraction is essential to achieving the best results from structural drying during the next step. Aggressive does not mean reckless, and our technicians are highly skilled at removing as much water as possible without damaging surfaces or fixtures.

Moisture location and measurement:

Before structural drying, our crew uses sensitive detection and metering tools to locate any trapped water, which we endeavor to remove using a range of strategies and set baseline moisture levels. If possible, we also test moisture levels in similar materials in another unaffected space in your building for comparison purposes.

Applied structural drying:

Our team employs the elements of psychrometry, the science of drying, to calculate drying targets. The dimensions and positioning of the drying equipment are also settled using psychrometric principles. We set up air movers, and heaters if we determine the temperature must be raised to enhance evaporation rates, at appropriate angles. As water transitions to a vapor, dehumidifiers, also strategically placed, remove it through condensation or absorption for permanent removal from your building.

What Happens After Mitigation?

The water mitigation process sets the stage for later phases, including remediation and restoration. After we halt the damage, our project manager makes decisions focused on how to bring the water-damaged structures and contents back to preloss condition. Remediation and restoration cannot proceed unless mitigation efforts complete successfully.

The team at SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio masters training in both water mitigation and remediation, complementary methods working together to try to put the effects of a commercial water loss behind you as you resume day to day business. Waste no time in connecting with us at (210) 899-1017 after water damages your building.

5 Steps to Commercial Fire Safety

4/26/2022 (Permalink)

It is impossible to guarantee that a fire will never break out in your commercial property in San Antonio, but you can increase fire safety. If you do not already have a contingency plan in place for employees or other occupants to follow in the event of a fire, here are five simple steps you should take.

1. Establish an emergency plan. This plan should include a method for reporting fires as well as an evacuation plan. You may want to hold a mandatory meeting on a regular basis in which you inform employees or occupants about their roles and responsibilities.

2. Post maps with emergency escape routes at strategic locations. People may panic in the event of a fire and forget the specifics of the contingency plan. It is a good idea to post the best evacuation routes in strategic places throughout a building, such as near stairs or elevators. Make sure that these plans indicate that elevators are not safe to use during a fire.

3. Create a contact list. This list should include the names, titles, departments, and contact information for all employees.

4. Identify essential services. Depending on the businesses in the building or the needs of the facility itself, you may want to specify which services require attention and who will perform these tasks in the event of an emergency.

5. Store important records in a secure location. Keep important documents such as accounting, employment, or insurance records in a safe location on- or off-site.

These five steps are intended to help you create a contingency plan to promote the safety of all employees or occupants in a business or commercial property. Following these steps will make you better able to account for all of the people in your building. If you do experience a fire, contact SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio at: (210) 899-1017 or visit us at www.SERVPROnorthcentralsanantonio.com 

Emergency Exit Plan

4/25/2022 (Permalink)

Exit Plan Have an escape route clearly marked and run safety checks to allow new employees to learn them.

If you're a building owner with tenants or a property manager, you should always have an exit plan in case of a serious fire or water damage in the building. Part of the plan should be multiple exits for all occupants of the building and a meeting spot for each group of people. There should never be a question when an emergency arises where people should go and what to do. It is very important to have your occupants, staff or visiting persons apprised of this information and is prepared. The details of these plans should be both a visual drawing and written directions. If you are able to, the building should have arrows marked on all areas where the exit plan is activated. For example, take a look at the photo. Never forget, SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio is always here to help in case of an emergency in your commercial building.

4 Tips for Cleaning Your Commercial Property After Water Damage

5/13/2021 (Permalink)

Local Hospital with SERVPRO Drying Equipment Local San Antonio Hospital Water Damage.

If you own commercial property, you know that water damage can be horribly bad for business.  It can ruin your assets and disrupt the flow of transactions and productivity that keep your business growing. Whether you own an office building, a retail store, a restaurant, or even a manufacturing plant, whatever the size of your business, you need to get back to “business as usual” as soon as you can.

If your commercial property has been struck by water damage, you’ll want to act quickly in order to minimize any losses. Time is of the essence when it comes to salvaging what you own. Unfortunately, expensive items, like furniture and electronics, are often the most prone to be ruined by water damage, so you’ll want to do as much as you can and bring in assistance as quickly as you can to reduce the long-term costs.

If you’re dealing with water damage to your business, here are 4 tips that can help you deal with the problem and minimize the extent of the damage:

Cut the Power and Remove Any Salvageable Large Items

The first thing you must remember is the truism: safety first.

If it is safe to do so, turn off the electricity, and focus on removing valuable assets from the affected area.  You might be able to salvage area rugs and carpeting if they are removed and dried quickly.  The same is true for electronics, furniture, and other important movable items you need for your business.

Remove as Much Water as You Can

There are multiple methods for removing water.  A sump pump can be an effective tool for removing lots of water and can sometimes even be rented from a nearby hardware store if you don’t have one on hand.  If It is possible to safely access an electrical outlet that is far enough away from the water, you might also be able to use a wet/dry vacuum.

If need be, manual methods of water removal can work.  Buckets, mops and towels can be safe and effective, especially if the water damage is contained to a delimited area.

Your professional cleaning and restoration services provider will be able to bring industrial grade tools and expert techniques to clean up your water damage, so if your problem is extensive, you will want their help as soon as possible.

Allow for Ventilation and Drying

Once you’ve cleared out as much standing water as you can, you want to speed up the drying process as much as possible.

Open any doors or windows to allow maximum ventilation.  If you have access to electricity, you can also use fans and/or a dehumidifier. Turn them up to the highest possible setting for the quickest results.

Clean and Disinfect

Once the water has dried out, use a disinfectant to clean the affected area and get rid of any bacteria contamination.

Make sure to wear protective clothing and use a 10% bleach solution or other proven disinfectant on areas where it is safe to do so.

You want to prevent any contamination from spreading and affecting other areas of your business property. This includes odor control and the prevention of mold growth.

If your business requires emergency professional cleaning and restoration services, your local SERVPRO experts are here to help.  We have the professional training, skills, and equipment to respond to any size water damage problem and restore you back to business fast.  You can reach SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio at (210) 899-1017

SERVPRO: Your First Choice for Commercial Fire Damage Restoration in a San Antonio Business

Fire Damage in San Antonio can be very inopportune for a business owner. If a fire strikes your place of business, the result can be primary and secondary water damage, along with possible structural damage caused by the combustion. Firefighter’s efforts to douse the flames can leave large volumes of water behind. Additionally, business owners will often find that their employees feel unsafe working in the office due to health and sanitation issues. Dealing with fire damage is also challenging given that management teams may have to deal with the loss of valuable inventory, expensive equipment, and important documents. Finally, business owners will be faced with the task of contacting organizations such as the fire department and their insurance provider following the fire.

Being closed due to water damage is bad for business, and stressful for business owners who do not know when they can safely reopen, how significant the loss is, and will there be issues afterward?

The key to avoiding secondary issues after commercial water damage in San Antonio business is a thorough cleanup. Not only the moisture requires removal but also ambient humidity levels need addressing. The increased humidity levels have the potential to ruin stock, and these items necessitate moving to another area of the building to a move-out to a secure storage location.

Water Extraction Methods
Consumer-grade wet/dry vacuums and even the equipment the regular cleaning crew possesses is generally not robust enough to pull embedded water out of the structure and contents. SERVPRO North Central San Antonio technicians have attachments such as weighted extractor heads that push water out of the carpet and upholstered furnishings to speed the drying process.

Fans Do Not Adequately Dry Water Loss Areas
Commercial drying equipment uses the science of psychrometry. Even industrial fans used for cooling commercial properties do not possess the power of an air mover. This machine blows air across the surface and actually causes embedded moisture to rise. Centrifugal air movers can direct strong, focused streams of heated air to wipe moisture from surfaces allowing LGR low grain refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers to capture the water vapor.

Odor Control is Vital
Even a little water odor is off-putting for customers and employees. This is a sign that an excess of moisture remains in the property. Situations often lead to issues with mold. SERVPRO technicians scope the property with advanced moisture-detection equipment before, during, and after to ensure the property is dry and odor-free. They also have numerous applications to eradicate odors at the molecular level if needed.

Water damage in your business can quickly become one of your year’s most expensive business costs if it is not addressed as soon as possible. Slow response can lead to structural damage, mold growth, or loss of assets including merchandise, computers and important paperwork.

Whether from natural disasters, leaking roofs, frozen pipes, sewage backups, or flooding, water intrusion is a serious concern and a major threat to your professional property. Understanding the source of the flooding is essential for proper cleanup, as clean flow from a broken pipe or a leaking roof during a rainstorm will be treated differently than floodwaters and sewage backups.

Our Certified SERVPRO Technicians Have the Experience and the Equipment to Handle Flooding Disasters of Any Scale

3/16/2018 (Permalink)

No Disaster Too Big!!

One of the biggest nightmares any business in Texas can experience is a storm flood. If you have been an unfortunate victim of flood damage, there are certain procedures you should follow as you look to restore your property. If you are in the middle of an emergency, your best bet is to contact a reputable restoration company. 
 
As a locally based company and a trusted leader in the restoration industry, SERVPRO is conveniently located to respond quickly to flood damage emergencies in South Texas. We have a large team of IICRC-certified technicians who are properly-armed and highly experienced to restore any water-damaged properties to preloss conditions quickly efficiently, "Like it never even happened." 
 
Whenever your home experiences considerable flood damage, the first course of action should be to vacate the building and then inspect for safety issues before reentering. Once you call SERVPRO, our technicians can come in and evaluate the extent of the damage. This step involves checking for structural damage, electrical issues, and possible health concerns that may come into play when performing flood damage repair and cleanup. 
 
After addressing all major safety concerns, SERVPRO flood damage restoration professionals can move in and begin the actual cleanup process. It is essential to document all flood damage sustained for insurance purposes. This means taking pictures of the flooded areas, damaged furniture, and other house contents, and holding on to any repair bills you may incur along the way. The compensation procedure after a flood can be tricky; so, the more documentation papers you have, the better. 
 
The dirty work begins after carefully documenting all the damage. It is important to carry out the drying and cleanup process as quickly as possible to prevent secondary damage and possible mold growth.
 
Our technicians use advanced extraction equipment to pump out any standing water, and then set up fans and dehumidifiers for the drying part. Hiring a flood damage repair expert (like SERVPRO) for this stage is always a good investment. Apart from having access to the right equipment, the knowledge and experience of working on numerous flood damage projects is useful to ensure a speedy and efficient cleanup process. 
 
Storms and floods are a reminder of the force of Mother Nature. While they are unpredictable, you can count on SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio for local flood damage restoration services. For any questions, you can reach us anytime at (210) 899-1017

Commercial Water Restoration in San Antonio

7/31/2017 (Permalink)

It’s very important to keep up with your commercial maintenance needs because this can prevent damages to your property. Things like checking your hot water heater to see when the last time it was replaced or checking the condensation lines coming from your air conditioning unit are quick and easy preventative measures. These are just some of the things you can check to prevent damages to your home.

Most water damages come from a preventable source such as your hot water heater or air conditioning condensation line. With hot water heaters, you should replace them every 8–10 years. Replacement will vary with the severity of your local weather, the design of the unit, quality of installation, and the maintenance your unit has received. With an air conditioner condensation line, we would recommend cleaning it once a year to maintain a blockage free line.

There are plenty of websites that explain how to do these things yourself but we would recommend that if you are not a professional, you should hire a professional to perform maintenance on your home or business. Performing these two quick and easy checks can go a long way in preventing any potential issues. 

REMEMBER to call SERVPRO of North Central San Antonio when you need help.
