When your Gaithersburg business is faced with water damage, call our experts 24/7. We have the expertise and equipment to handle any size disaster.

Skilled Water Restoration Reduces Office Downtime

Wet carpeting from a leaking water cooler or fountain can cause additional problems inside your Gaithersburg office building. Other sources of water leaks, like a broken pipe within a wall, can release water into the space between building levels. SERVPRO® has the technology to detect water hidden within the structure.

Our commercial water restoration services in Gaithersburg are designed to restore normal operations in office buildings. You can trust the expertise of SERVPRO's IICRC-certified Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning technicians and others, who bring a thorough approach that prevents the need for expensive replacements. We have a team of trained specialists ready to handle the multiple types of water damage your office building could experience.

Water restoration work in a professional building or complex can occur without cessation of normal office activities. Our restoration experts address the following:

• Relocating everything to another area free of excess water,
• Carpeting, other flooring styles, and existing subflooring, and
• The after-effects of a water-related emergency's restoration.

At SERVPRO, we understand that maintaining a smoothly running office is paramount. By enabling your staff to continue working on projects, we ensure no deadline extensions and keep your clients happy.

Depending on your office building's interior structure, water can do a number on your floors. The ceiling below a flooded floor can also sustain severe changes. SERVPRO stays prepared to restore these components, so it's "Like it never even happened." We use methods that allow us to save carpeting even when we must replace the padding underneath. Tile flooring comes in several styles, and like other types, we have experience in quick and efficient restoration.

Water can impart a distinct but undesirable scent, even after restoration work is complete. Our Odor Control Technicians use the latest methods to control odors and ensure a pleasant environment. We also mitigate microbial colonization by applying preventatives that reduce the possibility of overgrowth.

Containment of the Work Area

With 24/7 availability, our SERVPRO professionals can help with water mitigation for your Gaithersburg eatery.

We set up physical barriers to stop the flow and movement of water as well as utilize negative pressure and drying equipment to establish a clear perimeter of the work zone. 

Setting Up a Staging Zone

A staging area allows us to clean and restore objects on-site near the work zone. In addition, this clean space between undamaged areas and the compromised portion of your restaurant eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination as our SERVPRO team works. 

Eliminating the Water Damage Threat

Because water damage is such a threatening presence to your restaurant, we must carefully place drying and dehumidification tools. The appropriate relationship between these types of machines in your building can rapidly manage migrating moisture concerns without allowing further compromise of the wet materials involved.

Fast Water Removal Saves Your Gaithersburg Shop

Call SERVPRO, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster, to keep your Gaithersburg convenience store open for business following a water leak

Stores in Gaithersburg Depend on Emergency Water Extraction

It is staggering how much damage the water from a clogged floor drain in a restroom with a broken pipe can cause to a small shop in Gaithersburg. Water removal is one of our emergency services that businesses of all sizes rely on in our area.

A flooded showroom in your shop in Gaithersburg needs water removal fast. SERVPRO can help get things back to normal for you. We understand the implications this can have for your business, both currently and in the future. We take a proactive stance on the entire situation, including preventative measures to help reduce future restoration costs related to the existing emergency.

Removing water deeper than a few inches means we arrive ready to use our truck-mounted submersible pumps. These can extract large amounts of water in a short time. As this occurs, we are assisting this by pushing water toward the extraction units. We switch to handheld wands to extract more water as soon as possible.

Some water that floods businesses in our area are clean, while other times the water is considered dirty. Clean water comes from a water line that broke or an overflowing sink. Dirty water comes from these sources but has been in place, stagnant, for a day or more, or from a drain, toilet, or other contaminated location. Regardless of how damaged your shop is, we can help you rebuild.

There are differences in what needs to take place, according to the water we find in your shop:

? We cannot salvage porous or absorbent flooring if water is considered contaminated,

? Decontamination and cleaning of impervious surfaces are sufficient when water is not clean, and

? The more contaminated the water, the more intensive our odor control efforts must be once everything is dry.

Waiting to call SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown at (301) 973-6257 for services can worsen the situation. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster to minimize damage to your property.

Drying Wood Floors of Gaithersburg Shops During Water Restoration

6/15/2022 (Permalink)

Looking for a restoration company? Look no further, SERVPRO is just a call away at (301) 963-8474.

Water Restoration Includes Effective Drying

With water leaks or plumbing damage, it is essential to get mitigation and restoration efforts started as soon as possible. Fast response to these emergencies can often protect your business from closing completely, allowing technicians to section off the affected space and work around your schedule to recover the property. Early mitigation for your shop includes:

• Content relocation 
• Surface cleaning
• Structural assessment

How Do Wood Floors Become Damaged?

Absorption begins immediately with high porosity materials before water restoration in Gaithersburg businesses. With semi-porous wood flooring, moisture infiltration into these planks does not happen immediately like with carpets. If caught early enough and the right tools get deployed in the mitigation window, surface water can be removed before the infusion of water molecules threatens structural integrity. 

Drying Trapped Water from Wood Flooring

When surface water removal is not feasible and the water absorption has already begun, it is essential to eliminate this trapped water before it impacts the molecular composition of the planks. When water bonds with cellulose in the wood planks, the units will begin to bloat or distort, requiring them to be removed. 

Verifying the Floors Are Dry

Just applying floor drying mats over the impacted areas is not enough. We must verify and monitor the progress of drying tools deployed in a business to ensure we do not overlook damp caches that could lead to more challenging secondary damage like mold and microbial growth. Moisture sensors, meters, and thermal imagery all work to track the presence of moisture in the work zone. 

Water damage can compromise a shop, especially if the flooring where inventory is displayed becomes damaged. Our SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown team has a quick mobilization after the first notice of loss to get you back in business. Call today at (301) 963-8474.

SERVPRO Helps Gaithersburg Business Owners Assess Problems Associated With Flooding

When heavy rainfall surpasses the ability of the ground to absorb water or the storm drains become plugged by debris, the impact can be devastating since it floods the buildings nearby. For retail shop owners in Gaithersburg, the main focus may be combating the direct effects of flooding by saving valuables such as stock. Therefore implementing flood protection measures during the flood restoration process is critical.

The stress associated with confronting unfamiliar work such as flood damage restoration in Gaithersburg can be substantial for ordinary business owners. The impact of a flood on businesses gives rise to direct and indirect business losses. SERVPRO aims at expediting the process to keep you in business and minimize potential damage to goods.

Flooding Impact on Business

• Spoilt or lost stocks
• Inaccessible business premises
• Property damage
• Equipment damage

Dealing with Flooding

Flood water, also categorized as black water, contains contaminants. A professional should handle any cleanup involving such water. When the floodwaters recede from your store, they leave residues significantly soiling contents. Our team responds fast with standard and specialized cleaning techniques to combat heavy soiling. We also extract any water remnants from the floor and assess other damages left by the floods.

Restorative Actions

• Disposing of unsalvageable contents
• Decontaminating the store
• Inspecting for structural damage
• Drying moisture

We thoroughly decontaminate the store by spraying EPA-registered disinfectants all over and checking the building for structural damage that can pose potential hazards. Moving items around are also necessary. For example, cleaning involves the manipulation of contents. Separating damaged and undamaged stock helps prevent cross-contamination. Our team provides portable storage units to keep goods safely at the loss site.

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown helps deal with the challenges presented by flood damage "Like it never even happened." Call us at (301) 963-8474.

Pack-Out Process for Electronics and Furniture

Protecting and caring for the affected contents and fixtures throughout the property is a priority of our responding team. While on-site cleanup is preferred, we also provide a pack-out service that takes affected items to our nearby SERVPRO facility for focused restoration.

• Deodorization
• Drying
• Refinishing
• Safe Storage

Structural Drying Prevents Mold

We can focus on a thorough drying solution with some of the more advanced tools in our inventory, including high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers. Resolving lingering moisture makes secondary effects like mold development less likely or more easily managed with surface treatment cleaning products. Mold requires moist environments and damp conditions to develop and spread.

How Essential Is Mold Remediation in Maintaining Indoor Air Quality at Your Germantown Business Premises?

12/31/2021 (Permalink)

When you have a mold infestation at your commercial property, time is of the essence. Mitigate the situation with a call to SERVPRO 24/7.

SERVPRO Can Help You Remove Mold Residues and Clean Up Your Facility for Better Indoor Air Quality

Paying attention to the air quality at your Germantown commercial establishment is essential for the comfort and safety of your staff and customers. Among the factors that influence indoor air quality, mold plays a significant role since it is common in buildings, whether old or recently constructed.

If you identify mold contamination and worry about air quality, the best solution is to embark on mold remediation for your Germantown premises. Ignoring or delaying action is not advisable since mold problems worsen over time. Recurrence is also possible if you only clean visible growth. SERVPRO handles the complexities of remediation, delivering long-term results and addressing air quality.

Convenience when resolving mold situation requires:

• Better inspection approaches
• Secure containment of affected areas
• Specialized cleaning techniques

Inspection is as crucial as any other aspect of remediation. When you are worried about air quality, it is a good idea to inspect the level of particulate matter. Apart from releasing spores, mold contributes other particulate matter into the air by causing deterioration of materials such as cracking and flaking of painted surfaces. SERVPRO technicians can use an air quality monitor to determine the level of VOCs, CO2, and particulate matter, thus establishing the steps to take.

Although mold may appear as patches and stains on surfaces, the bulk of the mold contamination is usually hidden out of sight. The hidden contamination contributes to most of the musty odor and particulate matter in the air. Our SERVPRO technicians can help remove such hidden mold faster and with minimal inconvenience.

Some of the essential steps for such removal include:

• Controlled demolition to reach the hidden mold
• HEPA vacuuming surfaces to remove all residues
• Cleaning HVAC systems 
• Drying any wetness and deodorizing the premises

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown can help you address a raft of issues during mold remediation. Call us at (301) 963-8474 when you discover contamination. We can make it. “Like it never even happened.”

Can Fire Damage Restoration at Gaithersburg Business Premises Be Disorderly?

12/19/2021 (Permalink)

Fire damage can certainly put a stop to your business. Handle the situation by contacting SERVPRO. We have the certified technicians and equipment.

SERVPRO Focuses on Creating Order During Restoration Since It Improves Outcomes

One of the reasons for doing repairs after a fire at your Gaithersburg business premises is to restore order allowing you to continue with your normal daily operations. The restoration process also needs to be orderly. Otherwise, it might become a hindrance rather than a solution to pressing problems.

Running fire damage restoration at your Gaithersburg property in an orderly manner can be easier said than done since many factors go against expectations. Issues can range from minor ones such as employees and customers spreading soot, ash, and other fine residues from affected areas to the rest of the property. They can also be complicated, such as customers demanding service while restoration of your premises is still underway. SERVPRO’s expertise in organizing property disaster sites resolves many of these issues with ease.

Organizing a fire loss site can take different procedures, including:

• Sealing off some areas to limit access
• Storing waste materials safely
• Using friendly cleaning techniques

Limiting access after a fire at your premises is crucial from a management perspective. When the fire only affects a section of the premises, you may want to keep the unaffected sections accessible, especially if you have a membership-based business such as a gym where members pay in advance. Sealing off the affected areas helps keep from venturing in and spreading residues. It also contains dust and odors allowing them to continue using the rest of the facility safely. An airtight barrier is necessary, and our SERVPRO technicians can help create one quickly with plastic sheets and spring-loaded metal rods.

Cleaning is essential in resolving fire damage. Disturbing materials is inevitable during cleaning. However, the level of disturbance depends on the methods used. SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians evaluate the damage or level of soiling and choose convenient methods. For instance, vacuuming surfaces removes loose soils conveniently without spreading them around the property. Other methods such as soda blasting limit the need for demolition while removing soils from areas such as unfinished surfaces. 

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown offers all the solutions you need to complete fire damage restoration safely. You can reach us at (301) 963-8474. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. 

Is Professional Water Cleanup Worth It in Germantown Commercial Properties?

SERVPRO Has Access to a Diverse Array of Water Damage Equipment for Germantown Businesses

While the regular cleaning crew for a Germantown commercial property may do a great job keeping the floors mopped and the surfaces dust-free, handing off a water damage restoration task may be beyond their abilities. 

SERVPRO brings a host of different water cleanup equipment to Germantown commercial properties. The professional equipment can make a huge difference in the outcome. A good example would be if a pipe broke in a ceiling of an office and water collected within the structure overnight. Less than an inch of water has the potential to deliver thousands of dollars in damages to the structure and then, on top of that, the ruin of contents within the building. Much of this can get avoided through the use of professional water damage restoration services. 

While the regular janitorial services may have access to shop vacuums and industrial-size fans, neither of these devices can match the power of SERVPRO equipment. The technicians have access to several types of extraction units, including some that are submersible for deep water situations. The portable pumps are some of the most relied-upon water removal tools as they allow the techs to move quickly around the work-site and have a great deal of suction to remove a great deal of water. 

The drying applications used by SERVPRO also ensure a better outcome than relying on self-cleaning or using the regular janitorial service. The trained technicians have industrial dehumidifiers and centrifugal air movers to force embedded moisture to rise. This results in faster and more thorough drying. Other types of drying equipment include:

• InjectiDry system
• Drying mats
• Self-created tubing to force air onto a targeted area

A Fire Can Lead to Temporary Closure of your Gaithersburg Business and Revenue Losses

The city of Gaithersburg in Montgomery County has a 59,933 population that is spread across two distinct districts, the east and west. Gaithersburg's eastern side is colloquially known as the old town and features most of the cities early historical buildings. The west-side is a thriving business district with extensive shopping as well as some globally significant company headquarters. Among the largest businesses in the west of Gaithersburg are pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca, IBM, and Lockheed Martin. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is one of the region's largest employers. The main tourism events are commerce centered, with many people flocking to the city during Black Friday and other sales-oriented holidays. The Kentlands, Washingtonian Center, and Lakelands are all award-winning communities for urban development.

Despite its modern new-urban feel, Gaithersburg's city remained a quiet, agricultural community for most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During the 1970s, the population of the area exploded while its official status as a city was only granted a year before in 1969. Today, it is among the most ethnically diverse regions in the United States. The growing city is currently underway with two exciting 'new urban' developments which are connected to the inter transit bus line. The city is also home to a prominent sports focus, with NBA player James White, NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins and Major League Baseball player Chris Coghlan born in and around Gaithersburg.

What Causes Musty Odors in Business properties?

10/5/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO professionals are trained to handle every level of mold damage, including the odors that come with it. Call us today, we are always available.

Musty Odors are a Common Sign of Mold Growth. SERVPRO is a Gaithersburg Commercial Mold Remediation Specialist Available 24/7.

Are odors a sign of low indoor air quality?

Musty odors in your Gaithersburg business could be putting off customers and affecting staff. Usually, these odors result from a microbial growth issue that may be residing somewhere in the company building. Commonly, these issues occur due to a slow leak or damp spot, which could occur seasonally or as the direct result of an event. Mold does not just release odors but also microscopic spores. These spores often become airborne, where they can be inhaled or ingested by people using the space. If musty odors lead to the discovery of molds, you may need to restore indoor air quality to get your business back to its preloss condition.

What are the stages of mold growth?

- Spores land on damp or wet spots with enough organic matter and temperature to reproduce

- Hyphae grow from the spore onto, or into, surfaces

- Colonies produce additional spores which can spread further throughout the structure

What tools control indoor air quality?

It is typical for commercial mold remediation techniques used in your Gaithersburg business to include air scrubbing. Cleaning air uses specialized equipment known as air-filtration devices. These can be placed throughout your company, drawing indoor air into a complex set of filters. These filters are known as high-efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA) and can pull microscopic mold spores out of an indoor environment. Usually, SERVPRO technicians create an exhausting duct in the business to remove contaminated air from the building altogether and replace it with clean air. 

How should air-filtration devices be set up?

- Identify the affected area and enclose the system by shutting doors or windows

- Place an air-filtration device within the closed system

- Attach ducts for exhausting clean air and drawing out waste air

7/19/2020 (Permalink)

Plumbing breaches can happen without warning and leave your hotel contending with thousands of gallons of damage.

After a pipe burst in your Gaithersburg hotel, many rooms could be affected and require restoration, repair, and reconstruction

One of the more threatening aspects of significant water loss events in your Gaithersburg hotel is how rapidly the situation can get out of control. With pipes bursting from cold snaps or age, this scenario can unload hundreds or thousands of gallons of water into structural cavities containing the utilities. With much of these pipes hidden within shared walls and between the levels of the facility, a single loss event could have widespread ramifications for your guests in this wing of the hotel.

Among the most troublesome realizations for property owners in this scenario is that the conditions require more than water damage repair for your Gaithersburg hotel to return it to normal. Many restoration and recovery levels must begin as soon as possible to limit the impact on your guests, your facility, and the atmosphere you provide. Between the initial assessment of the property and the emergency services that you can expect from the licensed contractors on our roster, work begins immediately to get your hotel back in top form.

How Bad is the Water Damage?

One of the first steps that our professionals must take when we arrive at your building is to gather as much data as possible about the current conditions. A job scoping procedure can help to identify the present threats and what steps must occur immediately. Much of this initial inspection happens on the surface and exposed contents. However, we have sophisticated tools and technologies that allow us to better understand the water damage in structural cavities where the plumbing fixtures were located. Some of the tools that can help to see beyond the surface include:

    •    Surface Moisture Meters
    •    Thermal Imagery
    •    Probing Detection Devices

Why Is Controlled Demolition Necessary?

Responding contractors with our team can provide controlled demolition solutions. This approach can be beneficial for restoration and recovery. There are multiple advantages to this mitigation solution, though with the situation of a burst pipe in a shared wall of your hotel structure, here are some ways it can help:

    •    Access to Damaged Pipe – One of the immediate advantages with removing damaged portions of drywall and other affected materials is the access to the compromised piece of pipe. Demolition grants easy access to these damaged fixtures.
    •    More Efficient Drying – Drying can be a drawn-out and involved task for even our experienced restoration professionals. Controlled demolition provides more uninterrupted access to the damaged areas for direct drying practices.
    •    Oversaturated Construction Materials – Overexposure to water damages can leave materials like drywall too compromised to dry and restore. Removing these saturated materials leaves the room ready for reinstalling new materials.

Can Structural Cavities Get Dried?

The damage to your building's structural cavities can leave water penetration, becoming a pressing threat to numerous rooms and communal areas of the hotel. Drying out the wall openings reduces the migration of water effects throughout the structure. Accomplishing this requires some of the sophisticated tools in our drying inventory, including positive pressure systems, air movers, and dehumidifiers.

If controlled demolition has occurred, these drying efforts can often shorten due to the more unhindered access to the compromised areas. In situations where controlled demolition was unnecessary, positive pressure systems become a non-invasive approach to infuse the wall cavity with heated air to promote evaporation.

What Repairs Are Necessary?

Water damage repairs and restoration often go hand-in-hand. While the fixation usually involves the drying and extraction of immediate water and moisture concerns, the structural integrity of your hotel and its appearance to your guests must also share this same urgency. We have a team of in-house contractors that can work with you to determine your priorities in this recovery effort. Prioritizing what matters most ensures that you are ready for guests and continued business despite our restoration approach. Some of the common repairs and replacements that your hotel rooms require after water losses include:

    •    Plumbing Repair
    •    Drywall Reinstallation
    •    Carpet Replacement

Plumbing breaches can happen without warning and leave your hotel contending with thousands of gallons of damage. Battling these conditions should get left to our fast-responding and well-trained SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown professionals. Between our Water Restoration Technicians (WRT) and our licensed contractors, we can make water losses “Like it never even happened,” when you call (301) 963-8474.

How Can I Get Mold Out of My Office’s Ceiling?

5/27/2020 (Permalink)

There are many different ways for mold to be detrimental to your Gaithersburg store. Call SERVPRO to learn what needs to be done properly for company.

SERVPRO Techs Provide Fast-Acting Commercial Mold Remediation in Gaithersburg 24/7

If your Gaithersburg office’s conference room had a ceiling leak repaired recently, you might think that your problems are over for the moment. However, moist conditions can allow for mold to thrive in other areas without thorough mitigation.

When you need commercial mold removal for your Gaithersburg business, SERVPRO is ready to answer the call 24/7 so that you and your staff can enjoy better indoor air quality once more.

What Situations Can Allow Mold to Develop?

All mold needs to proliferate is water and oxygen. Consider if your building has endured one or more of the following conditions recently:

• Inconsistent building maintenance schedules
• Poor construction or building with wet materials
• Leaky window seals, doors, or pipes
• Unusual amounts on condensation or humidity
• Landscaping that causes water to flow toward the building

If any of these situations have affected your office, have a licensed professional inspect your facilities for potential mold growth.

What Does SERVPRO’s Mold Remediation Process Entail?

SERVPRO’s mold remediation strategies can be broken down into four major steps:

• Establishing containment: Sealing entryways and vents, introducing negative air pressure, and dedicating space to decontamination prevent mold spores from spreading outside of the affected area.
• Removing contamination: Technicians clean loose mold deposits with HEPA vacuums. Agitation methods such as sanding or brushing are better-suited to semi-porous materials like wood and concrete.
• Cleaning dust and spores: Several rounds of damp cleaning combined with HEPA vacuuming eliminates settled mold spores.
• Drying the structure: After cleaning, structural drying returns items to normal moisture levels and prevents conditions that allow mold to return.

Commercial Water Damage is Best Left to the Professionals – Call SERVPRO to Restore Your Gaithersburg Office

Whether you had a leaky roof during a storm or a pipe burst, an immediate response is necessary to get your commercial space back in order. If you have an office that suffers from water intrusion on any level, you need to act fast to help lessen the damage. While you may think that a wet-dry vacuum and some cleaning supplies will do the trick, this is a situation best left to trained professionals. Our team at SERVPRO not only arrives quickly, but we also have the training and equipment necessary to ensure everything is done right the first time.

How Does Water Damage Restoration Work?
With any water loss, removing the water from the equation helps to decrease the severity and allows our team to concentrate on other things. We arrive quickly to assess your commercial water damage in Gaithersburg so that we can implement necessary restoration steps. We have equipment that allows us to quickly remove vast amounts of water while keeping a steady pace. If the culprit was a burst pipe that put out a lot of high-pressure water over a period of time, we suggest that the water supply gets shut off until we are able to arrive and get to work.

Our Green Fleet
Once you call our team here at SERVPRO, we send out technicians in as little as four hours to get started. When our Green Fleet arrives at your office space, our trucks are loaded with all of the right equipment for water extraction and cleanup of your interior, including:

    •    Extraction Equipment – We have both truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment that allows us to remove water from floors, carpets, and upholstery throughout your office.
    •    Air Moving Equipment – Helps to speed evaporation and drying throughout the structure.
    •    Dehumidification Equipment – Removes water vapor from the air to help speed up the drying process.

Do I Need to Worry About Water Seeping into Other Areas?
Water migration is a common issue that occurs with water damage situations. With a water loss, the moisture likes to move into dry spaces, so our team follows this path of migration to find all water to eliminate it. Any leftover moisture that is left in various cracks or crevices can destroy the building materials as well as pose a potential threat for mold and mildew growth. Depending on the level of destruction, our crew may need to cut holes in the ceilings or walls of your Gaithersburg office to allow for proper drying. We use strategically placed holes or flood cuts along with the placement of air movers and industrial fans to enhance airflow and drying.

How Can You Be Sure No Moisture is Left Behind?
Moisture control and detection is a significant component of our water removal and cleanup process. We take the time to use special equipment that allows us to monitor moisture levels in the air as well as to detect any patches of hidden moisture. Some of the equipment that we have on hand includes:

    •    Moisture Detectors: We have a vast array of moisture detection tools, which includes moisture meters and moisture sensors. They allow us to find any area within the small spaces or your walls where moisture may be lurking.
    •    Inspection Cameras: We have thermal imaging camera technology, including borescopes, which allow for the detection of moisture within walls and other hidden spaces. This technology is ideal for finding moisture without the need for complete removal of wallboards.

I Have a Dehumidifier, Can I Bring it to My Office to Remove Moisture?
At SERVPRO, we have industrial-strength dehumidifiers that allow us to get the job done in a fraction of the time that it would take traditional units. Our skilled technicians also use a unique formula that tells us how many air movers and dehumidifiers should be placed within your building to get the most drying done in a specific timeframe.

    •    Refrigerant dehumidifiers are sometimes used in the beginning phase of a water cleanup job when the humidity levels are high within the structure.
    •    Desiccant dehumidifiers are best used with structure materials that are still fairly wet, but porous materials throughout your office are dry.

Before We Leave, We Clean and Disinfect
For any water damage call in Gaithersburg, professional cleaning agents and disinfectants must be used to help control or inhibit harmful microbial growth. We start by removing moisture with drying procedures, followed by the removal of all contaminated materials. Our team then ensures everything is thoroughly wiped down and cleaned with EPA-registered broad-spectrum disinfectant.

Whenever you are hit with water damage in your commercial space, you can count on our expert technicians at SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Give our specialists a call 24/7 at (301) 963-8474, and we make it “Like it never even happened.”

What to Avoid When Dealing With Commercial Water Damage in Gaithersburg

4/19/2020 (Permalink)

If water damaged has affected your commercial space, contact team SERVPRO. Our certified technicians are ready 24/7 to take your call.

We Act Quickly in Gaithersburg When You Require Commercial Water Removal

Any amount of water damage in your commercial space can translate into significant hassles and expensive repairs if not addressed quickly. Waiting too long to have the water and moisture removed means the potential for mold growth that leads to health hazards for your staff and customers. Should the water loss include sewage, then the cleaning event is rated at the biohazard level to deal with potential pathogens and contaminants properly.

When you need commercial water removal in Gaithersburg, you must never rule out the idea that sewage may be a problem. Your janitorial crew does not have the powerful equipment or the right cleaning products to deal with such a situation, so you need to contact our team at SERVPRO. We provide you with industrial-grade solutions and professional equipment used by trained technicians.

Water Extraction

With a commercial water loss event, our technicians have protective gear that includes the use of respirators to ensure no airborne molecules get breathed in. If the bathrooms are impacted in your commercial space, we scope the bathrooms and use extraction pumps to pull out all solid waste and water quickly. A standard measure taken in such a situation is the application of anti-microbial solutions to the water to cut down on the potential hazards in the standing water.

Contaminated Materials

Water loss events often have damaged sheetrock as the water wicks up through the materials. Our SERVPRO technicians make flood cuts above the water line to remove and discard the contaminated pieces. This also allows for the airflow to get into the wall cavities to speed up drying. 

Drying Process

SERVPRO has tried and true methods to speed up the drying process after the extraction phase. We have a unique formula that allows us to determine the right number of air movers and dehumidifiers to place throughout your commercial space. To help capture air particles and to improve upon the air quality in the building, we also commonly run air scrubbers.

Sanitization

In a heavily contaminated water loss situation, we step up the amount of antimicrobial and anti-bacterial agents used to clean and disinfect. This not only ensures that potential hazards from bacteria are eliminated, but it keeps foul odors from developing.

The team at SERVPRO of Gaithersburg/Germantown is ready to help when you have commercial water removal needs. We can send a team out to make it “Like it never even happened,” when you call us at (301) 963-8474.

We Can Restore Commercial Flood Damage In Your Gaithersburg Fitness Center

1/20/2020 (Permalink)

When intense storms damaged a roof at a fitness center, the resulting flood damage left pools of water on the rubberized carpet.

Fitness Center with Commercial Flood Damage in Gaithersburg

Many people make New Year's resolutions to work out and get fit starting in January; however, commercial flood damage can put a halt to those plans and hurt the business of a gym. The goal after any water loss is to restore and reopen as fast as possible.

When intense storms damaged a roof at a Gaithersburg fitness center, the resulting commercial flood damage left pools of water on the rubberized carpet. If there was a positive in the situation, using their moisture detection equipment, SERVPRO techs determined that the floor covering prevented the water from reaching the subfloor and lessened the loss.

Fast Water Extraction
SERVPRO technicians know each water extraction comes with its own unique challenges. In the case of a fitness center, the workout machines get bolted to the floor for safety, and very few are moveable. This is good because their secure placement stops water from running underneath but creates a challenge for working around to ensure all the water gets removed.

Drying Around Equipment
Much like the extraction process, drying requires that the techs ensure each area is dry. In a case where there are immovable items, the techs set up multiple configurations of air movers for complete coverage in tandem with their dehumidification equipment to rapidly lower the moisture. Once the process completes, the techs use their detection equipment to ensure the premises verifies as attaining previously set drying goals.

Odor Control and Sanitizing the Loss Area
There are two things anyone utilizing a gym expects; one is a sanitary establishment and two, a place to work out in that does not have an unpleasant odor. After drying, the techs wipe down the affected area with their exclusive cleaning agents, including deodorizers and antimicrobials. Water can leave behind a musty smell, and SERVPRO techs have multiple applications to eradicate odors.

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown at (301) 963-8474 is available 24/7 to clean up and restore properties with commercial flood damage and leave the business, “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown Serves the community by being Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Remediating HVAC Mold Damage in Gaithersburg

Business owners all across the United States need to be aware of the effects mold can have on the quality of commercial spaces. Something as simple as delays in a maintenance schedule can lead to eventually having to deal with damages from mold in HVAC systems or elsewhere in your facility. While mold exists in some form in all buildings, remediation is necessary to maximize safety.

If your retail business requires commercial mold damage remediation in Gaithersburg, certified SERVPRO technicians are ready to work with you any time of the day or night to mitigate disaster. Your business might run on a nine-to-five schedule, but disasters do not, so technicians are always available, even during the holidays, to remove mold and restore your business to a pre-mold condition.

How Mold Proliferates in Businesses (And What You Can Do About It)
The most common ways that mold proliferates commercial spaces are through roof leaks, delayed or insufficient maintenance, a lack of ventilation for combustion appliances, and gutters or landscaping that direct water toward your building. There are numerous measures businesses can take to minimize the spread of mold in their buildings, including:

• Being mindful of condensation and wet spots in your building
• Keeping HVAC drip pans clean and unobstructed
• Properly venting moisture-generating appliances
• Maintaining 30% to 50% relative humidity in your building
• Performing regular building and HVAC inspections as scheduled

SERVPRO is Here to Help
This experienced team can tackle mold with a variety of methods. Removal techniques largely depend on the surface that the mold is on. Non-porous materials can generally be cleaned with ease. Porous materials, on the other hand, may need to be removed or otherwise discarded with the knowledge and consent of the business. The risk of mold proliferation posed by porous materials like drywall, carpeting, or fabrics is eliminated by removing contaminated materials.

Non-porous materials include glass, metals, and plastics, and can be cleaned to remove mold. Technicians can use HEPA vacuums or OSHA-approved, EPA-registered detergent solutions if dirt and other soils surround the mold. A combination of techniques may also be used. For example, a HEPA vacuum can loosen mold fragments, which can then be removed with agitating tools. Semi-porous materials like wood and concrete can be sanded or cleaned with damp cloths, wire brushes, and other abrasive tools.

SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown Serves the community by being Faster to Any Size Disaster. You can call (301) 963-8474 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when a disaster occurs in your business.

Our Fire Damage Professionals Will Save Your Gaithersburg Diner!

When your diner sustains fire damage, call us, SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown, at (301) 963-8474.

Mitigation And Restoration Of The Mess When Commercial Fire Damage Takes Out Your Gaithersburg Diner

Kitchen fires often spread quickly, moving from the stove to cabinets and food products, and soon begins affecting non-cooking areas with flames, heat, and smoke. The smoke coming from burning food quickly spreads a heavy, greasy, foul-smelling smoke into dining areas, offices, adjoining bars, and restrooms. The odor produced by the smoke deposits becomes more than a detrimental nuisance, as soot contains many substances that can cause unwanted health effects. Restoring your Gaithersburg diner requires considering all these and other factors.

Helping business owners like those in Gaithersburg after commercial fire damage destroys all of part of their property keeps our community thriving. SERVPRO technicians gain extensive experience on top of the work they earn recognition from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, including restaurants, medical and dental clinics, housing complexes, and many other situations.

When your diner has problems with fire-related odors, water, and destruction, we know how to get things normalized again and fast. To get rid of of the majority of the odors that detract from your fantastic menu items, we perform a deep cleaning of surfaces covered in smoke residue. Removing the soot leaves surfaces clean and ready for your staff when you re-open.

Sometimes, materials get destroyed in a fire, so we remove anything that falls into this category. This helps reduce the source of odors even more. Smoke particles that found their way into deep grooves (like you might find in the sliding mechanism of shelving units and drawers), carpets, interior spaces of your diner's walls and ceiling, and also your ventilation system become the source of highly unpleasant scents. Our building services department is on call, just as our mitigation team, to help out in these areas.

Once mitigation and restoration work concludes, we ask for your opinion on odors that you feel might bother your employees or patrons. We use different methods to bring this facet of your diner up to your expectations. Even though we use air scrubbers during the initial phases of restoration, particles continually disintegrate and float back into the air.

Using some of these methods, like thermal fogging, combats odors at their source. When carpeting seems hit especially hard by smoke odors, we use cleaning, followed by gels injected directly into the padding so more pleasant odors waft through your establishment.

When your diner sustains fire damage, call us, SERVPRO of Gaithersburg / Germantown, at (301) 963-8474. Our coverage area includes Montgomery Village, Washington Grove, and Laytonsville.
