SERVPRO responds quickly to your business's fire, water, or mold damage emergencies.

For a business owner, the well-being of your establishment is and should be extremely important to you. Because when a problem arises it will be up to both you and your employees to care of the situation as soon as possible. Here are a few things you, as a business owner, can do to help prevent damage.

Prevent Severe Mold Damage

The best way to prevent mold damage from occurring is to be aware of the conditions in which your business is operating. This is taking note of everything from effective mopping techniques, preventing excess water from lingering, to watching humidity levels throughout the day. If you see any signs of mold growth, it’s crucial to address this as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your business from occurring.

Prevent Severe Water Damage

Similar with mold, water damage occurs due to excessive moisture and water. This may seem like common sense but we sometimes overlook minor issues that 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 any other surface. This can be evident by seeing dark or dried water spots, warped flooring, peeling or bubbling paint and wall paper, or noticing an order. It’s important to handle these warning signs before they become a major issue.

Prevent Severe Fire Damage

To prevent fire damage, it’s important to know your business’s fire risks. We strong recommend against allowing employees to light candles. Open flames, dry air and clutter can all eventually contribute to a fire. Be sure not to overload electrical outlets and keep them clear of clutter.
