Flooded Floor in Denver Business?

We are leaders in commercial water restoration in Downtown Denver.
We were having a routine inspection of our building and offices. Everything was going as expected until one of the overhead sprinklers activated and began dumping water all over the desks and equipment directly below it. Yikes! The water was eventually shut off, but in the short time it took to locate and close the water shut-off valve, the malfunctioning sprinkler released about two hundred gallons of water into the room.
We called SERVPRO® of Denver North, and they sent out a team right away. They moved and dried all of the office furniture and used industrial-grade water extraction equipment to remove the water quickly. After that, they set up powerful air movers and blowers to dry the area. The drying process was monitored and documented. The drying process was followed by cleaning and deodorizing. Now our office looks and smells great!

Minimizing the Risk of Water Damage During Construction
11/8/2020 (Permalink)
As a construction professional in Denver, CO, you know the damage that water can do to an unfinished project
Minimizing the Risk of Water Damage During Construction
As a construction professional in Denver, CO, you know the damage that water can do to an unfinished project. Fortunately, a few basic precautions can prevent the need for mid-project water pipe repair and other damage control measures.
Potential Problems
Unfortunately, there are a multitude of ways water damage can occur during the construction process. The following are some common causes:
- Improper scheduling
- Plumbing issues such as a broken pipe
- Loose building envelope
The above issues and other sources of water damage can generally be prevented by devising a construction plan that includes proper scheduling and excellent quality control at every step of the process.
Proper Scheduling
The construction schedule should take into account the order in which individual tasks are to be completed and the timeline for completing the entire job. If you complete building tasks out of order, you will likely run into water problems and delay the entire project. Although a professional restoration service can assist with cleaning up and repairing water damage, such delays can prevent your company from completing the job on time and on budget.
Install and test water pipes early in the construction process. If they are installed properly, there will likely be no need for water pipe repair later. Additionally, do not install water-sensitive materials before the building envelope is complete. Make sure you know which materials can handle exposure to the elements and which cannot.
Stringent Quality Control
No matter where you are in the building process, it is important to have rigorous quality checks in place. All plans and specifications should be peer-reviewed before beginning. Large projects may require a full team devoted to quality control. Smaller projects may only need one or two people doing quality checks. Regardless of who oversees quality control, make sure that every task is done properly and in-full before moving forward.
A flooded job site is a nightmare. However, making sure projects are completed in the right order and with attention to detail can minimize the need for water pipe repair and other damage-restoration procedures.
How To Banish Mold
11/4/2020 (Permalink)
Mold can grow in as little as 48 hours after water damage.
Mold is a persistent fungus that can form and spread with surprising speed. Mold growth can occur when a surface is exposed to moisture, such as with water damage. Mold will cause your Denver, CO business to look unkempt and unwelcoming. Here are some helpful tips for dealing with mold, wherever you are in the remediation process.
Keep Things Dry and Well-Monitored
Mold forms in conditions when water or humidity is present. Keeping a space well-ventilated with fans and open windows is key to preventing fungal growth. Mold is also attracted to dirt, so good housekeeping goes a long way.
Consistent monitoring is another important factor. Regularly inspect the property for any precursors to water damage and unwanted moisture, such as leaky pipes, plumbing issues, and improper drainage.
Work Quickly in the Mold Window
In the event of a flood or burst pipe, mold can start to grow within 24-48 hours. This window is a crucial time for mold prevention. Once it forms, it starts feeding off of organic matter and shooting off spores that cause rapid mold growth. You’ll want to remove the foothold that mold depends on, starting with extracting any water completely and quickly. A dehumidifier should be used, as open windows won’t cut it when there’s already excess moisture. Immediately toss out any carpet or insulation that has been soaked. Even if the building appears to be dry, it helps to enlist professionals who can locate inconspicuous areas of standing water.
Enlist the Pros for Cleanup
If mold is already present on a surface, it needs to be removed in order to prevent it from spreading. This is a task best left to professionals, as mold is tricky to get rid of. A professional mold remediation service can locate every affected area, and the pros can quickly and safely eradicate mold from your property.
Mold is a stubborn substance that is living and very active. You don’t want it anywhere near your place of business, and neither do your customers. By taking the necessary precautions in the wake of water damage, you’ll keep your property in tip-top shape.
Situations That Warrant Protection Against Flood Damage
10/21/2020 (Permalink)
Floods can cover acres of land
You take good care of your commercial property in Denver, CO so that weather and other problems don't damage your building. You properly insulate your pipes and you make sure that gutters are clean and your roof is in good condition. Certain events, however, can flood your building despite even the best preparations. When these situations occur, you may need to have flood insurance to cover the cost of recovery.
Prolonged Storms
If a hurricane hits your area, it doesn't really matter whether your gutters are clean. The storm and the continual rainfall that probably follows may cause certain problems for your property:
• Standing, contaminated water, especially on lower levels
• Damaged equipment and furniture
• Weakened walls, floors or ceilings
Your building may flood and sustain water damage when storms arise. If you have flood insurance, you have a way to pay for remediation services, even if the damage turns out to be extensive.
Melted Snow
Some storms don't cause damage at the time they occur but rather after their effects start to dissipate. When heavy snows start to melt, the runoff has to go somewhere. If there is too much of it or if it melts too quickly, it can flood your building. Your commercial insurance portfolio should contain policies that take this possibility into account.
Busted Dams
Some disasters have little to do with the weather and more to do with the weakening of structures made by humans. Levees and dams are built to control the flow of water and keep it from overtaking an area. When such a structure breaks, the water it releases goes everywhere, including your commercial building. Documenting the event as well as the damage it causes can help your insurance adjuster determine how much your policy should cover.
If you live in an area that floods regularly, regional law may require you to have flood insurance. Even if you don't, however, it's a good idea to have extra coverage just in case you need it.
Getting Standing Water Out of Your Building
9/29/2020 (Permalink)
Floods can cause serious damage
When a storm passes through Denver, CO, you never know what to expect. Your commercial building could be left untouched, or you may have to deal with standing water in your lower levels. When the damage is more severe, you have to know what to do next. Calling in a storm restoration professional can help you react quickly and smartly. Removing standing water from a building requires the use of special equipment and fast actions.
Know What To Use
Standing water can lead to major structural problems and mold growth if allowed to linger in your building for too long. Because the issues can be huge, you need to know what equipment to use. Often, this type of remediation requires the following:
• Truck mounts
• Trash pump
• Dehumidifiers
This commercial-grade machinery can pump out liquids, sludges and solids, which means you don't have to worry about sifting through the dirty water to let the machine run smoothly. Instead, the professionals come in, hook up the hoses and start pumping out your unwanted water.
Know How To Prepare
Once the water has been drained out of your building, you likely don't want to repeat the process ever again. While the professionals can do a good job of helping you dry out the space, it requires a lot of work and can cause your business to lose production time. You can reduce the chances of standing water filling up your building after a storm by installing a sump pump. This pump sits in a hole and works to remove water as it starts to fill up a space. In other words, it works to stop flooding before it leads to standing water.
Storms can often leave you surprised. No one expects to find two feet of standing water in his or her building, but it does happen. If you ever find this unpleasant surprise on your property, you need to hire someone who has the equipment needed to remediate it.
3 Steps for Reducing Water Damage After a Flood at Your Business
9/2/2020 (Permalink)
When your Denver, CO, commercial building is damaged by flooding, it can be difficult to know where to begin with cleanup efforts. Waterlogged drywall, ruined carpeting and damaged machinery may only be a few issues you have to deal with. However, there are a few steps you can take to begin the recovery process, and knowing some helpful damage tips may give you peace of mind as you work to restore your business.
1. Reduce Humidity Levels
After a flood, the humidity levels in your building may spike due to increased water vapor in the air. This may accelerate mold growth, especially in the case of black mold. Because this type of fungus can spread quickly, it is wise to lower humidity any way you can. Open the windows, run fans and turn on your building’s air conditioner if you have been told it is safe to do so. These damage tips may help you keep the threat of mold at bay until help arrives.
2. Call for Professional Flood Mitigation
If a pipe burst in your employee restroom and caused a flood, you may believe there is no hurry in calling for cleanup because the damage has already been done. However, calling in a flood damage and restoration company as soon as you can may reduce the risk of long-term problems, such as mold growth and structural weakness. Flood technicians might also be able to prevent the spread of flood waters to other areas of your building and prevent them from reaching major systems, such as electrical fuse panels.
3. Sort and Set Aside Items for Restoration
Flood technicians may be able to offer you cleaning tips and restoration options for your inventory or office equipment. While not all items may be salvageable, having assistance during this process can help you feel more confident about recovery.
Facing a flood at your Denver, CO, business can be a stressful experience. However, being aware of a few helpful damage tips can give you the peace of mind you need to begin cleanup and restoration efforts.
