5/17/2022 (Permalink)

We mitigate and remediate mold damage in Chicago.

Our local team in Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and Lakeview follows a comprehensive, seven-step process to remediate mold for commercial businesses as follows:

Mold Restoration Process

1. Emergency Contact

We’ll ask you questions to determine the necessary equipment and resources.

2. Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment

We follow local and state laws regarding inspection and documentation based on your unique situation.

3. Mold Containment

We may use advanced containment procedures like negative air chambers to isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process.

4. Air Filtration

We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.

5. Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials

We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to eliminate mold colonies and to help prevent new colonies from forming. Removing and disposing of mold-infested porous materials may be necessary to remediate heavy mold growth.

6. Cleaning Contents

We clean your furniture and other restorable items affected by mold. We’re also trained to remove odors and deodorization using fogging equipment.

7. Restoration

Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet, or it may require the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.

• Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls
• Protect yourself by covering your head or neck with your arms and putting materials such as furniture and blankets around or on top of you
• If you’re in your car, do not try to outrun a tornado

Mold Infestation in Downtown Chicago?

12/28/2021 (Permalink)

We are trusted leaders in mold remediation in Chicago.

There was a strong, musty odor in the building that I could not identify. A few days later, I noticed a damp spot on the wall in the lunchroom. There was a water leak inside the wall. We called SERVPRO® of Gold Coast/Lincoln Park/Lakeview, and they sent a team out right away. They used surface moisture meters and an infrared camera to pinpoint the location of the water damage. They removed the drywall to repair the water damage, and that is when we discovered the mold infestation inside the wall. That was the cause of that musty odor I had been smelling!

The team worked quickly to contain the mold and begin the remediation process. Now, you would never know we had a mold problem in our building!

Understanding Mold

• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 
• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air waiting for the perfect moist conditions

Call Us!

When your Downtown Chicago commercial business or home needs commercial mold removal, SERVPRO® of Gold Coast/Lincoln Park/Lakeview has a team of technicians ready to mitigate and remediate your mold problem 24-hours a day. Call us at 773-935-6750.

We respond to sewer backup emergencies 24-hours a day in Chicago.

You never know when the sewage system in your Lakeview office complex will backup, but when it does, you will want to call in the professionals from SERVPRO® of Gold Coast/Lincoln Park/Lakeview. There are three types of contaminated water. Each type requires a different response to restore your business or home safely:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

• Water from a clean source like a broken water line
• If left untreated, it can degrade into a category two or three

Category 2: “Gray Water”

• May contain bacteria and viruses
• Can quickly degrade into category three if left untreated

Category 3: “Black Water”

Sources for category three water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth. This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested. All contact should be avoided.

• May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

Mold Infestation in Lakeview Business?

2/15/2021 (Permalink)

We are leaders in commercial mold mitigation and remediation the Gold Coast area.

Commercial Mold Damage

It wasn’t until I started getting complaints from my Lakeview tenants about a musty smell in the back building entryway that the mold was discovered. A few months ago, a water pipe had burst in the wall, but it had been repaired. Evidently, water had seeped between the baseboards and was not discovered at the time.

Unfortunately, the combination of the moist, dark space and plenty of dead organic material to feed on created the perfect breeding ground for mold. The mold went unnoticed because mold is only visible when a colony grows large enough to become visible to the eye.

I called SERVPRO® of Gold Coast /Lincoln Park /Lakeview and they came out and inspected and assessed the area. They advised me of the protocol for mold mitigation and remediation and brought in an experienced team and the specialized equipment necessary to remove the infestation and remediate the problem.

Call Us Today!

Beware of hiring a company that tells you they can “remove the mold” or offers a guarantee of mold removal. Because mold is always present in the Earth’s atmosphere, it can never be completely eradicated, but it can be mitigated and remediated.

Fire Extinguisher Safety tips for the workplace.

7/19/2018 (Permalink)

If you experience Fire Damage in your workplace SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview can help!

According to OSHA, the most common emergency small businesses must plan for is a fire. Fire extinguishers can be invaluable tools to help fight smaller fires in the workplace.

It is important for employees to know how to use an extinguisher properly and also know how to accurately assess a fire situation.

The PASS method is a simple training technique for fire extinguishers:

·        P - Pull the pin on the extinguisher.

·        A - Aim the hose nozzle low toward the base of the fire.

·        S - Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.

·        S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the flames until extinguished.

Fire extinguishers are meant to handle only small fires. If a fire becomes too large or the environment becomes too dangerous, employees should know when and how to evacuate the area.  If appropriate, sound the fire alarm or call the fire department immediately. 

SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview is always available to help if your business has incurred damage from a fire.  Please call us at 773-935-6750.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning.

7/17/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview will help keep your carpets clean.

Even the highest-quality items can show soiling over time. Protect your investment by calling SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview to clean and maintain your commercial carpets.

Preventative Maintenance

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet.

IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions include: 

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

Professional Cleaning

Professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your commercial carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting.

A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil.  Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview Professionals will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment and Professionals trained to the highest standards, call us today.

Generator Safety Tips - To Keep your Business Running.

3/15/2018 (Permalink)

Keep your Business running with the help of a portable Generator.

In an emergency, portable generators offer lifesaving benefits when outages affect your business. They can safely power important electrical equipment such as portable heating units, computers, water pumps, freezers, refrigerators and lighting. However, portable generator use can also be very hazardous.

If you plan on using an emergency generator, it’s essential that you take precautions for your safety and the safety of those working to restore power.

Follow these tips for safe portable generator use from the NSC:

• Always read and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions before running generator.
• Engines emit carbon monoxide. Never use a generator inside your business or other enclosed areas.
• Only use your generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or doors.
• Use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector in the area you’re running a generator.
• Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Allow the generator engine to cool at least 2 minutes before refueling and always use fresh gasoline.
• Never operate the generator near combustible materials.

If you experience Storm or Water damage due to a power outage in your commercial building, do not hesitate to give SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview a call at 773-935-6750.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are free notifications delivered to your mobile device as part of a public safety system provided by authorized government-alerting authorities.

Government partners include local and state public safety agencies, FEMA, the FCC, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Weather Service. A WEA can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm’s way, without downloading an app or subscribe to a service. WEAs may be used to share extreme weather warnings, local emergencies requiring evacuation or immediate action, AMBER Alerts, and Presidential Alerts during a national emergency.

A WEA will look like a text message. The WEA message will typically show the type and time of the alert, any action you should take, and the agency issuing the alert. The message will be no more than 90 characters.

Commercial Water Cleanup in Chicago

1/11/2018 (Permalink)

If your business has a flooding event due to frozen water pipes, call SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview at 773-935-6750

The Chicago area has been experiencing extremely cold temperatures this past week and with the slight warm up at the end of the week, pipes began to burst.  SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview responded immediately to a commercial building in need of professional services after a broken pipe.

Here are a few tips that you can follow to prevent your commercial building from frozen pipes:

5 Steps to Preventing Burst Pipes:

1. Insulate all water pipes that run along the exterior of the building or those that are located in unheated interior spaces.
   2. Inspect water pipes on a regular basis, looking for any signs of small leaks or fatigue that could cause them to fail in a big way when the freezing temperatures arrive.
   3. Run water at a slow drip to relieve the pressure that can burst a pipe in the case that it does freeze.
   4. Check all shutoff valves and levers to make sure they are in pristine working order.
   5. Keep utilities on in vacant units- if you have vacant units, the cost of maintaining utilities in that unit will offset the cost of loss that could result from the lack of heat or water movement which causes frozen pipes and subsequent water damage.

The Different Causes of Commercial Water Damage

Work Place Water Damage is Restored by SERVPRO

When business owners visualize water damage, they often picture a massive storm wiping out power lines, flooding offices, and shutting down businesses for days at a time. It is true that commercial water damage is often the result of floods and water that stems from weather events and storms. 
 
However, many entrepreneurs and business space renters forget that storms and severe weather aren't the only causes of floods and water damage. Here are some of the typical causes of water damage to commercial buildings. 
 
1. Malfunctioning sprinkler systems 
Some older office and retail buildings still have outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems. While such sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage if they are faulty or in need of replacement. This could easily damage inventory and business assets.

2. Damaged appliances and equipment 
This cause of commercial flood damage is more common in restaurants and catering facilities, as well as any business that has appliances and equipment that make use of water. If the appliance fails and sends water across your building, especially during late hours when no one is around, you may come back to work and face a water emergency. 
 
3. Broken pipes and plumbing 
Just like in a residence, if the plumbing system in your workplace fails water damage could be the result. 
 
4. Backed up sewer lines 
This is another cause of commercial water damage that often catches business owners by surprise. Should the sewer line to your building back up or become damaged, realize the potential dangers of contaminated Black Water which can ruin products and office furnishings. 
 
If your business has suffered commercial water damage, SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview will get you back up and running again. Call us anytime 24/7 at (773) 935-6750 for fast help.

Flooding in Your Business

10/18/2017 (Permalink)

a workplace flood can be devastating to your business.

The weather has been very unpredictable the past few weeks in our area.  We have experienced heavy rains in a short period of time causing the sewer systems to back up and streets to flood. 

If you see there is a flash flood watch, this means that a flash flood is possible.  A flash flood warning means that a flood is about to happen or already taking place.  If a flash flood occurs, you should make sure everyone gets to higher ground as quickly as possible. 

Your business can prepare for any potential disaster, including flash floods. Keep all essential equipment and documents elevated from the floor.  Ideally, they should be stored on the second floor of the building or higher.  Back-up electronic data daily to cloud storage or to an external drive so the files can still be accessed in the event of a disaster.  

It is a good idea to have a battery-powered radio available on-site.  In case of a power outage, you and your staff can keep updated on the current conditions.  (FEMA) The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides a list of recommended supplies in the event of a disaster, such as a flashlight and first aid kit. 

You can also check with the National Weather Service to get more tips on safety during flooding. 

SERVPRO of Gold Coast / Lincoln Park / Lakeview can help your business get back on track after flooding or other disasters.  Call us today for more information (773) 935-6750.
