Invisible Water Damage

2/2/2022 (Permalink)

Many contributing factors can bring on water damage in a number of different areas inside your home or business. Additionally, there are a ton of things that can cause damage in the winter -- and it doesn’t take much when temperatures are below freezing! Household appliance leaks and plumbing issues are prominent examples of things that can go wrong and cause big headaches. Don't assume that you can totally prevent or spot water damage with just your eyes -- damage is sometimes totally invisible, and that's where real danger lies. Since water destruction can also lead to the presence of hazardous mold, you need to be in tune with it to the best of your ability.

Damage and Leakage

If you have damage brought on by water or melted ice, there may be leaks finding their way through your walls, ceiling and other areas. Don't assume that you can always identify these things visually or at quick glance. Make sure to thoroughly inspect any weak areas in your home for signs of water damage or leaking.

Flooring Hints

Damage can, in many cases negatively affect the flooring inside your home or business. Indications of destruction, however, are not always 100% obvious. They can be particularly hard to see for the untrained eye. Easier signs of water damage include your flooring taking on a new color, plank separation, warping and more. Keep an eye out for this so you can make repairs before your damage becomes an immense project.

Mold Development

Mold, for many people is a frightening substance to think about in your home or business. Please make sure to inspect your space! Not only can mold cause health effects, it can possibly cause costly repairs.

Should you encounter water damage this year at home or at your business, make sure you have it treated immediately in order to prevent high costs and more damage. To learn more about how SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma can help you, call us at 631-296-0367 or contact us online for immediate assistance!

Common Damage You Might See

10/27/2021 (Permalink)

Many businesses thrive during the summer -- whether it be by hosting outdoor events, or opening up their door to let the breeze (and more customers) into their commercial space! However with all of the good that summer brings, there’s the occasional downer that also is brought along by the season. While the temperatures are hot and humidity rises to high percentages, damage inside of a building can be that much more apparent. Below are some of the common damage points businesses experience during the hotter months, and how you can look out for it.

Water Damage

Because of the high humidity during these months, the combination of warm and cool air can eventually lead to thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail and more. As these are generally things that can’t be predicted other than looking up at the clouds, businesses oftentimes make the mistake of leaving windows and doors open, with no time to close them during a flash storm. These sometimes extensive torrential downpours can cause tons of water damage if not treated immediately -- especially if this water becomes stagnant!

Mold

After water damage occurs, the humidity levels typically see a slight drop off -- and even then, it sometimes still might not be enough to be comfortable. As stagnant water and moisture in the air gets trapped within four walls, it can begin to absorb into flooring, walls, ceiling panels, and so much more, promoting potentially harmful mold growth. This type of damage is seen early on, as the discoloration in the panel is a telling sign; with smell being right behind it. Any excess moisture in the air of your business should be extracted with proper ventilation or a dehumidifier large enough to handle the job.

Fires

Anyone who’s been to the beach during the summer knows how ruthless the hot sun can get -- and the same thing applies to your business. As the summer rays begin to dry different components out on a building, the risk for fire becomes that much higher for many locations. It’s important to be well-prepared for any type of fire, as it can begin and spread quickly through buildings, roofs, and even blow onto surrounding trees and fixtures.

SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma is dedicated to helping you and your business enjoy the summer while we do the dirty work! If you’ve experienced any type of damage due to the elements that summer brings, make sure to call to learn more about how SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma can assist when it matters most.

How Can I Prevent Damage in My Store?

10/19/2021 (Permalink)

What water damage can look like in your commercial space

As a business owner, the wellbeing of your establishment is, and should be, extremely important to you. When a problem arises, it’s up to you and your employees to handle the situation as soon as possible. As a business owner, how can you do this and is it even possible? Yes, it is possible, and we have a few things you can do.  

To Help Prevent Severe Mold Damage

The best way to prevent mold damage from occurring is to take note of the conditions in which your business is operating. This is everything from effective mopping techniques at night to prevent excess water from lingering, to watching humidity levels throughout the day. If you think you’re experiencing the onset of mold, it’s important to address this, as soon as possible, to prevent further damage from occurring.

To Help Prevent Severe Water Damage

Similar to mold, water damage occurs mainly due to…… excess moisture and water! As funny as it is to read that because it seems like “common sense”, we sometimes overlook minor issues because they appear insignificant.  To prevent water from infiltrating and harming your business, make sure to look for signs of excess water on the floor, behind walls, in the ceiling and more. This can evident by seeing dark and dried water spots, noticing a funky smell, or spotting warped paneling or droopy paint. It’s important to handle these warning signs, before they become a major issue!

To Help Prevent Major Fire Damage

To prevent fire damage, it’s important to know what you might be doing that could cause a fire in your business. Employees may feel less stressed and enjoy lighting a candle in the office, however, we strongly recommend against it.  Open flames, dry air and clutter can all eventually contribute to a fire, especially if there are a lot of electrical outlets or plugs near your clutter.

Should you encounter any sort of damage at your business, know that there is a local company ready to help you at the drop of a dime. SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma has been helping local families and businesses recover after all types of storms - and your case is no different! To receive assistance with storm, fire or water damage, give us a call at 631-296-0462!

Signs Your Business Has Sustained Fire Or Water Damage

10/7/2021 (Permalink)

As your business becomes busier, it’s sometimes hard to immediately identify when damage is occurring inside of your working space. However running a business requires more than just attention to the customer — your building cleanliness is also a huge factor! Below are a few tell-tale signs that your business has sustained some sort of damage — whether it be fire or water.

Fire

Most of the time, fire damage is easy to spot due to the sometimes unforgiving wrath it can have on buildings. However there are cases in which smaller damage can occur without you realizing. A great example being your employee coat closet, which just might have a hot lightbulb too close to the jackets being hung. Strong odors or damage to items close to light fixtures are telling signs that something in that area is at risk of burning, and can cause large destruction. Additionally, sparking or darkening walls near outlets are signs that something is happening behind the scenes, and should be addressed immediately.

Water

Water is much more common to see, and can be equally as destructive. If you’re noticing anything similar to discolored walls, ceiling tiles or an extremely humid atmosphere, water might be the culprit for this. What makes it difficult, however, is that water can be hard to trace back to the source. Additionally, your business can suffer from mold damage, and a rotten smell that can go along with mold damage. Should you feel as if this is a problem in your business, it’s important to act fast before it becomes a larger issue.

For over three decades, SERVPRO has been helping all types of commercial businesses get back on their feet after damage. When something goes wrong, you’re going to need a company who can make it right. To learn more about how SERVPRO Of Ronkonkoma can assist in your time of need, give us a call today! 631-585-0007

Teaching Your Employees To Prevent Disaster

10/5/2021 (Permalink)

As a business owner, you’re tasked with checking over a number of things before you open up shop, throughout the workday and as you’re closing down. Let’s face it, it’s impossible to be in multiple places at once — which is when you turn to your employees! Of course, instilling trust in them is very important — almost as important as training them to look out for anything out of the ordinary. At your business, a number of things can go wrong at any moment, and we’ve got a few key hazards you and your employees can look out for.

Signs of Moisture

It’s pretty easy to notice water damage on the floor, since liquid is unmistakable. When a pipe leaks and the water enters your walls and ceilings, it can be a little harder to notice at just a glance. Make sure you and your employees are all checking for signs of water damage, such as a musty odor, discolored paint or paint appearing to bubble.

Fire Hazards

Once a fire starts, it’s almost impossible to stop on your own. To prevent fires from happening in the workplace, make sure you’re checking areas that are near heaters, open flames or areas that are generally dry and vulnerable. It’s also a good idea to make sure that all of your electric fixtures are properly plugged in and protected from surges.

Mold

Unless we’re regularly checking, it’s hard to know what might be going on behind the walls in our home or business. To make sure that there isn’t anything growing in those areas, a simple mold inspection should do the trick. Alert your employees to let you know of anything out of the ordinary in terms of color changes on walls, foul odors, or stagnant water in a specific area. This can be a telling sign of mold formation and growth, which is the last thing you need to stop your business to handle.

If you or someone you know has fallen victim to damage in their home or business, make sure they’re contacting the right team to have it handled properly, as soon as possible. SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma is at the ready 24/7, no matter the emergency! To receive assistance with mold, storm, fire or water damage, give us a call at 631-585-0007

How SERVPRO Can Help Keep Your Doors Open

The holiday season on Long Island is typically a great time for businesses and business owners alike. Families come together to eat at restaurants, parents go shopping for gifts, and everyone can enjoy the atmosphere of togetherness.

Here are a few things to look out for this season and how SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma can help, should they happen. 

Water Damage

The absolute last thing your business needs is water damage due to a cracked pipe. Freezing temperatures and stagnant water can cause pipes to burst, which in turn causes expensive damage.

Mold

Whether you’re a retail chain or a restaurant, mold can be the worst thing that can happen to a business.

Commercial Solutions: How To Recover From Damage

9/6/2021 (Permalink)

Running a business is tough work -- it requires much of your time during the day and night, and can lead to long, stressful weekends as well. Even more stressful than that can be facing the damage sustained from a storm, water, fire, and more.  Recovering quick from these issues is imperative and can save your business from tons of lost profit!

Call Someone Fast 

The longer you’re closed without customers calling, the less profit you have the chance of making. Ensure that at the first sign of any damage -- big OR small -- you’re calling someone to come assess and help out with fixing your damage. A few hours or proactive effort can mean earlier opening times and more business as usual!

Assess Your Business

Make sure that, as a business owner, any property that may also have been damaged is accounted for! It’s important to get all of this looked at and documented early on in order to avoid any issues with replacements, which down the line, can also hurt business flow. This is critical in getting back to normal as soon as possible.

Breathe

It’s stressful and we understand that. However, the damage has already happened and you’re only able to move forward. The important thing to know when it comes to your business getting back open is that the right team can make all the difference. Trust someone who can help you no matter what the issue is and also make sure it was done correctly and right - the first time.

How Much Will Remediation Cost and How Long Will it Take? 

After a disaster of any size, the rebuilding process at home or the office is sometimes overwhelming and stressful.  Depending on the size of the damage sustained, the time frame can be shorter or longer — especially since weather and other factors can get in the way! But to understand the remediation process, how much it will cost and how long it might take, it is important to start at the beginning by understanding what goes into the process of emergency remediation.

What Goes into Remediation?

The process of remediation considers all of the details, therefore, it is in depth and covers all bases.  This is what you would want, and expect, when it comes to making your home or business perfect again.  The first step in remediating is to assess the issue and figure out what it’s going to take to make your space appear "Like it never even happened." From there, it’s important to also make sure that supplies are available and that you have a truly qualified team for the job. At SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma, we’ve taken many hours of training and studied the books on how to take your remediation job and make it quick and efficient so that you can get back to living your normal life fast.

How Long Can I Expect Remediation to Last?

One of the top questions we get is “how long will this take?” — and with good reason! It’s not surprising that many home and business owners want to get back on their feet and back into their normal lives as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is not an answer we can give you over the phone because every situation is different.

For smaller jobs, you might be looking at a few days of constant work before it’s deemed acceptable and finished, whereas larger disasters might warrant a lengthy remediation period that can be a bit longer than you would expect.

Rest assured, our goal is to get it done as quickly as possible.  The most important thing to consider, during a time like this, is that SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma will be doing our best work, ensuring that every little detail has been combed over and perfected before it’s considered done.

Should you encounter damage at home, help is something you’re going to need. At SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma, our goal is to get your home or business back up and running as it should. When you’re in need of an expert team, reach out to us for unparalleled results! We can be reached at (631) 296-0463 at anytime of the day or night!

Commercial Damage To Look Out For

9/1/2021 (Permalink)

As your business becomes busier, especially when there’s a customer rush or high volume of orders & calls, damage isn’t immediately known or present. Running a business on your own will require your eyes to be on the customer, but the wellbeing of your establishment as a whole -- cleanliness, damage, and other factors are extremely important. Below are a few common types of commercial damage to look out for on a daily basis

Fire or Fire Risks

Fire damage is usually very easy to spot after it’s happened, due to the unpleasant sight it brings.. However smaller damage can also occur and go unnoticed by the naked eye. A great example being behind appliances that don’t get moved too much which just might have sparked or has come close to surging at one point. Be weary of strong odors or damage to items close to light fixtures. This is a telling sign that you may have fire damage, or are at risk for experiencing it. Additionally, continue looking out for old lightbulbs that radiate heat, and anything electrical that sits by water.

Mold or Water Damage

Water damage is sometimes easier to see, and can be equally as, if not more destructive. Discolored walls, ceiling tiles or an extremely humid atmosphere might be telling signs you’re at risk for water damage. Water can be hard to trace back to the source, which sometimes makes this process a bit difficult for the average person or business owner.. Additionally, water can lead to mold damage, and a rotten smell and unsightly wall or carpet can go along with mold infestations. If this is something you feel you are at risk for, it’s important to be preemptive and have it inspected before it worsens. 

For over three decades, SERVPRO has been helping all types of commercial businesses get back on their feet after damage. When something goes wrong, you’re going to need a company who can make it right. To learn more about how SERVPRO Of Ronkonkoma can assist in your time of need, give us a call today! 631-585-0007

Helping Your Business Stay Healthy During The Colder Months

2/2/2021 (Permalink)

As a business owner there are a lot of things to think about when it comes to the day-to-day operations of your company. While customers and revenue are likely the most important, the wellbeing of your physical location shouldn’t be far behind. During the winter a number of weather related factors can lead to issues with your building, and it’s important that you address them swiftly. Below are a few things you should be looking out for this winter and what happens if you don’t.

Water Damage

We’ve learned all too well about the severity of snowstorms and what they can do to your business. Perhaps one of the worst things, however, is the notion that when melting snow and ice turns into water and begins seeping into your business or leaking through the roof, it can cause expensive damage. Make sure you’re keeping all of the snow and ice away from any open areas in which the moisture can move into. Also, consider removing snow and ice from flat surfaces such as roofs and awnings in order to prevent melting and leaks.

Mold

Mold can grow for a number of reasons. Perhaps it’s the lingering moisture from past seasons of high humidity and rain. Alternatively, it can also be caused due to the improper remediation after a storm. With solid attention to detail, it can be prevented! Choosing someone who is qualified in proper and effective mold removal and storm remediation is the first step to a cleaner and healthier business.

Fires

It’s easy to forget about the heat or the electric at your business during the winter. With the door constantly opening as new customers walk in and cold air taking over, turning up the thermostat or using a space heater is a likely solution for many. But without properly assessing what can happen if these things are left unattended, fire damage is much more likely to occur. Should this happen to you, make sure you are situated with a reputable company who can help remedy the issue quickly AND effectively!

For over three decades, SERVPRO has been helping all types of commercial businesses get back on their feet after damage. When something goes wrong, you’re going to need a company who can make it right.

Business Space Damage You May Sustain

9/30/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma is ready to help your business!

When you first think about a fire or flooding problem, you may not immediately associate it with a business. However, they're just as susceptible to smoke damage and water damage as any home. One bad pipe might be all it takes to flood a bathroom and shut down the building for a day or two. This can greatly impact the profits of that business and cause quite a bit of stress for the owner. To find out what else may plague a business space and how to combat it, we’ve compiled a short list below.

Flooding

As mentioned before, one old pipe might be all it takes for a sudden flood to occur in a bathroom, the building's basement or main space. Depending on just how bad the flooding is, that business might not be open for a good deal of time. After all, if this is you, you'll have to deal with all of the water damage the building sustained due to the flooding. This can be quite a headache for any business owner to deal with and can severely affect profitability.

Mold Growth

Whether, as a result of that flooding or, just because the building has a lot of moisture in the air, it might see a bit of mold growth. This can be considered a health hazard and could have the business shut down until it is removed. Business owners should make the call to SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma to make sure that mold is taken care of quickly and effectively before the issue turns into a severe problem.

Fire

As seasons change, buildings can sometimes be more susceptible to fire breakouts than at other times. A furnace that hasn't been fine-tuned in awhile might cause a spark to form. If it's especially dry in the building, that spark could catch and before you know it, the building could be on fire. Hopefully, there's still enough of the building leftover for a restoration to take place.

If you find yourself experiencing damage, make sure the team you call is professional and swift. SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma is at the ready 24/7, no matter the emergency. To receive assistance for any type of damage, get in contact with us today!

Commercial Building With Roof Damage From Natural Disaster

Ensure that at the first sign of any damage -- big OR small -- you’re calling someone to come assess and help out with fixing your damage. A few hours or proactive effort can mean earlier opening times and more business as usual!

Assess Your Business

Make sure that, as a business owner, any property that may also have been damaged is accounted for! It’s important to get all of this looked at and documented early on in order to avoid any issues with replacements, which down the line, can also hurt business flow. This is critical in getting back to normal as soon as possible.

It’s stressful and we understand that. However, the damage has already happened and you’re only able to move forward. The important thing to know when it comes to your business getting back open is that the right team can make all the difference. Trust someone who can help you no matter what the issue is and also make sure it was done correctly and right - the first time.

How Much Will Remediation Cost and How Long Will it Take?

10/4/2019 (Permalink)

After a disaster of any size, the rebuilding process at home or the office is sometimes overwhelming and stressful.  Depending on the size of the damage sustained, the time frame can be shorter or longer — especially since weather and other factors can get in the way! But to understand the remediation process, how much it will cost and how long it might take, it is important to start at the beginning by understanding what goes into the process of emergency remediation.

What Goes into Remediation?

The process of remediation considers all of the details, therefore, it is in depth and covers all bases.  This is what you would want, and expect, when it comes to making your home or business perfect again.  The first step in remediating is to assess the issue and figure out what it’s going to take to make your space appear "Like it never even happened.” From there, it’s important to also make sure that supplies are available and that you have a truly qualified team for the job. At SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma, we’ve taken many hours of training and studied the books on how to take your remediation job and make it quick and efficient so that you can get back to living your normal life fast.

How Long Can I Expect Remediation to Last?

One of the top questions we get is “how long will this take?” — and with good reason! It’s not surprising that many home and business owners want to get back on their feet and back into their normal lives as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is not an answer we can give you over the phone because every situation is different.

For smaller jobs, you might be looking at a few days of constant work before it’s deemed acceptable and finished, whereas larger disasters might warrant a lengthy remediation period that can be a bit longer than you would expect.

Rest assured, our goal is to get it done as quickly as possible.  The most important thing to consider, during a time like this, is that SERVPRO of Ronkonkoma will be doing our best work, ensuring that every little detail has been combed over and perfected before it’s considered done.
