If water damage occurs at your Mahopac business, call SERVPRO immediately for professional services and equipment. We're available 24/7.

Fast Water Damage Response Gets Business on Track 

The hamlet of Mahopac surrounds the lake, which also bears its name.  During the 19th century, the waters and picturesque views enticed residents of New York City to establish vacation homes or stay at local hotels in the summer. Today, Mahopac still offers a charming ambiance for year-round residents and visitors, with various dining establishments, including the Lake House Restaurant and Bar and Kobu Asian Bistro overlooking the water. 

Water Removal for Mahopac Businesses 

The only water you want your customers to overlook is the view of the lake, not puddles in your dining room after the roof leaks or the dishwasher waste line ruptures. Professional Mahopac commercial water restoration gets your bistro back to business in record time with high-efficiency equipment and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-certified and experienced technicians. SERVPRO® offers Mahopac business owners the trained crews and cutting-edge equipment required for: 

• Hazard assessment 
• Ensuring the damaged spaces are safe for water damage interventions 
• Evaluating contaminants in the fluids so appropriate containment and disposal following local regulations occurs 
• Securing water-damaged areas during the restoration process, sometimes allowing your restaurant to operate in some capacity during the project--for example, using an unaffected dining room or providing takeout if local authorities permit  
• Rapid water removal with submersible pumps, truck-mounted extractors, and portable backpack model wet vacs for recessed areas 
• Collection of the water for proper disposal offsite 
• Cleaning and disinfection of building materials, fixtures, and furnishings with EPA-registered products  

Professional Drying 

But commercial water damage restoration is complete once our drying crews do their magic. 

SERVPRO follows the IICRC industry standards, focusing first on removing liquid water as much as possible. But commercial water damage restoration is complete once our drying crews do their magic. Evaporation of absorbed water is critical, re-establishing the normal moisture levels of the materials. Secondary damage like mold growth and damage can otherwise happen. We set and accomplish drying goals by: 

• Using moisture detection and levels metering tools to map out the drying areas and to monitor the process 
  
  
• Employing axial fans and low-profile air movers to accelerate the evaporation  

Considering heater use to facilitate evaporating 

• Setting up evaporative dehumidifiers, capturing the water vapor through condensation for containment and disposal

Water Removal Required for a Waterline Break in a Mahopac Clinic

12/28/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO gives you access to expertly trained water remediation specialists that put vast resources and years of experience to work for you.

Our Scalable Water Removal Services Mitigates Loss

Due to the nature of a physician's practice, clinics in Mahopac have running water in almost every room. When a water line breaks or a sink's drain leaks, your clinic needs fast water removal services so you can avoid changing your patients' scheduled appointments.

Many doctors want to accommodate as many patients as possible and their office hours reflect this goal. Because of this, it could be many hours before anyone discovers a leaking water line. You need water removal services in Mahopac when you open the doors to your now-drenched clinic. SERVPRO can help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster. 

The amount of time the water remains standing in your clinic helps determine how much restoring your clinic might take. Calling us right away can reduce costs and make it easier for us to get things back to normal for you. Along with water removal and extraction, we also perform related tasks, namely:

• Carpet cleaning and other treatments,
• Repairing any plumbing or appliance leaks, and
• Drying the interior of your clinic.

Our carpet cleaning specialists can save your floor coverings from secondary damage like mold and mildew. Special applications leave carpet fibers and padding unable to support the growth of unwanted microbes. Other applications prevent odors and staining. Carpet cleaning can also help dry the carpeting uniformly and to avoid stretching.

We can replace any water lines or plumbing fixtures that caused the leak in your clinic. Sometimes, it is only the fastener that we need to replace.

Finally, after all the extraction and cleaning, we can concentrate on drying everything. Drying out sometimes requires the removal of drywall sections when water levels reach a few inches above the baseboards. After we finish making the necessary flood cuts, we clean the area up, also. Opening these spaces allows air currents to dry the interior of wall sections, further preventing mold and mildew.

SERVPRO of Putnam County is always on standby to help other businesses, especially our local doctors and other medical professionals, with water removal services. Call our emergency services line at (845) 228-1090.

Water Cleanup in Wall Systems of Mahopac Restaurants

7/6/2022 (Permalink)

No matter the size and destruction to your building, SERVPRO handles all commercial damage restoration projects. Call now!

Thorough Drying and Water Cleanup Solutions

After a water damage incident impacts your restaurant, you can be temporarily stopped to get the structure clean and prevent hazards like microbial or bacterial growth from your eatery.

Drying the Wall Cavity

Water cleanup for Mahopac restaurants requires immediate drying solutions. Drying a wall cavity and structural opening requires several things working simultaneously to help. Trapped water must get managed by removing the baseboard and drilling holes between each stud. This can help standing water find floor drains in your kitchen area if pooling is terrible enough. Next, we must infuse air into this cavity to promote evaporation. 

Can Wet Insulation be Restored?

Insulation is another element of the wall or ceiling system that becomes damaged by the present water. While some of these materials are better replaced than restored, fiberglass-based insulating can often be dried and reused, saving time and money. 

What Areas Are Impacted by Water Damage?

When water migrates into the trafficked areas of your restaurant, you must act fast to prevent permanent structural damage or considerable reconstruction and repair. These approaches can include:

• Containment: To keep your doors open after water damage when possible, SERVPRO professionals install containment barriers or use our equipment along the perimeter of the damaged areas to prevent spreading. 

• Rapid Extraction: To better protect areas of your business, we combine several extraction units to overcome standing water and pooling.

• Surface Cleaning: Surfaces must get thoroughly cleaned against bacterial and microbial growth, especially in the restaurant's dining and food preparation areas. 

• Mold Prevention: Preventing mold is a necessary step in protecting the property. We have multiple products that can help in this effort, including inhibitors. 

Damage to a restaurant after water damage can spread rapidly and force your doors to close for extended periods. Swift action in the face of bad leaks or burst pipes to get water cleanup started is critical in costlier restoration or prolonged closures. Give our SERVPRO of Putnam County team a call to get your business back in business at (845) 228-1090.

Commercial Fire Damage Restoration provided by SERVPRO in Mahopac

Call SERVPRO of Putnam County today at (845) 228-1090 if you need help with professional fire damage restoration.

Call SERVPRO for Fire Damage Clean Up and Repairs to Commercial Buildings in Mahopac

Building managers dealing with commercial fire damage in Mahopac business buildings often assume that the building is a complete loss or, at the very least, will need to endure controlled demolition before it can be recovered. Every fire is different, and not all smoke damage is the same. The type, extent, and fire retardants used must be assessed to determine the best fire damage restoration approach.

Our experienced SERVPRO technicians take all of these factors and more into account before initiating commercial fire damage restoration to business buildings in Mahopac. Hot fires produce light fluffy smoke residues, while slower burning fires or grease fires produce heavier oily ash that sticks to everything. Smoke odors are carried throughout the building and may impact neighboring businesses.

Heavily damaged materials and structures are removed, eliminating much of the smoke odor. Undamaged surfaces must be cleaned, considering the type of surface and the type of smoke residue adhering to the surface.

For example, dry cleaning rubber sponges are excellent at removing light fluffy residues and ineffective in removing oil-based residues. These residues tend to smear when a dry cleaning sponge is used. Different cleaning techniques are used on porous and non-porous materials, glossy surfaces vs. surfaces with a mat finish. Fabrics present additional challenges. Fabrics must be cleaned without causing further damage to the fabric.

Fully trained SERVPRO technicians deal with these variables to clean and restore your fire-damaged commercial building as quickly as possible. We also offer a variety of building repair services in addition to those listed:

• Smoke damage remediation
• Commercial building fire clean up
• Water and fire damage restoration and repair

Call SERVPRO of Putnam County and nearby areas for commercial fire damage repair and restoration assistance. We can help 24/7. Call (845) 228-1090.

The Desired Dryness of Mahopac Office Buildings

1/25/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Putnam County knows the damages that can take place in a commercial building after water damage.

Restoration objectives after water damage in Mahopac businesses require powerful drying tools. 

From burst pipes to sprinkler system malfunctions or damage, water can be a destructive force in your facility. Even with stopping the flow fast, the damage is often widespread. Restoration begins with establishing a dry line for recovering impacted building materials and construction elements, including the flooring, wood framework, and electronics.

Drying Equipment for Large Loss Projects

The water damage to Mahopac office buildings must get addressed as fast as possible, and often with large loss equipment. We have tools and machines exclusively designed for facilities with open floor plans and thousands of square feet. Our technicians arrive at the damaged site with many of these units like:

• Trailered Desiccant Dehumidifiers
• Trailered Generators

How Do You Know Moisture is Removed?

It is vital to know with certainty that the evaporative drying efforts conducted by our SERVPRO professionals have reached the dry goals set in place during the initial estimation process. We document the entire progress of this process through proprietary software like our SERVPRO DryBook program, and monitoring equipment shows areas that require greater attention.

Is It Dry? 

This simple question dictates much of the work and follow-up actions that our SERVPRO team must implement. We must determine if the efforts to this point have been enough to salvage affected materials and contents or if further measures, including demolition or discarding the material, are still needed.

Water damage exists in many different forms, making it critical to have an experienced team that will respond fast and has the equipment and products to manage damage sites efficiently. Your business depends on how rapidly loss effects can be minimized and contained to keep the office running while forms of restoration continue.

How Lengthy Does an Incident Have to Be for Significant Fire Damage at a Mahopac Hotel?

10/5/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO has the manpower and equipment for any size commercial damage restoration job. We are here to help.

SERVPRO Can Help You Respond to Unexpectedly Severe Damage From a Flash Fire

It is common to think of severe fire damage as something that takes time. However, even a fire that burns briefly and is extinguished in seconds or a couple of minutes can significantly impact. For Mahopac hotels, flash fires from grease or open flames are the most likely to cause such immediate damage.

The fire damage in your Mahopac hotel after a flash fire might be localized because, on average, the conflagration usually lasts less than 3 seconds unless the initial blast ignites other materials in the surrounding areas. However, it tends to leave surfaces caked with thick soot residues. Light residues and odors might also spread to the rest of the property, necessitating a thorough cleanup exercise. SERVPRO helps proprietors identify and resolve all the problems from such an incident.

Other problems associated with flash fires include:

• Tiles falling off stove backsplashes from the intense heat
• Airborne soot particles affecting indoor air quality
• A strong stench in the entire property

Renovating your hotel after such an incident is a priority for several reasons, including ensuring food grade cleanliness and getting approval from the health department. SERVPRO helps by removing all deteriorated materials safely. Dislodging charred tiles from the backsplash is a typical task since cleaning cannot restore the physical deterioration and deep soiling of such materials. 

Deep cleaning is also necessary to remove soils. Since most of the soils are likely greasy, the use of solvents is essential to eliminate soils. Our SERVPRO technicians are well prepared to handle such often risky cleaning tasks. We take various precautions, including wearing appropriate PPE, ventilating the facility properly, and turning off the HVAC system to prevent spreading vapors. 

SERVPRO of Putnam County can help you respond to any type of fire damage at your business premises, making it "Like it never even happened." Call us at (845) 228-1090.

SERVPRO Provides a Premier Water Damage Restoration Service to Carmel Businesses

A water damage incident at a business place can happen for many reasons, including burst pipes, ceiling leaks, or faulty plumbing. However, if you are not prompt in recruiting professionals such as SERVPRO, water damage at your Carmel commercial space can bring your operations to a screeching halt.

IICRC certified SERVPRO restorers have the experience and expertise to mitigate water damage to your Carmel property while ensuring minimum possible downtime for your business. The potential to restore any material after water damage depends on factors, such as exposure time, the nature of the material, and the category of water damage. The longer the water stays in contact with the surface, the more damage it can potentially cause.  

How do SERVPRO Experts Determine the Restorability of Material During Water Damage Repairs of Carmel Properties?

SERVPRO technicians abide by the IICRC S500 guidelines regarding water restoration of your Carmel commercial property. The restorability of different structural components can differ significantly with water damage and the construction of the material itself.

• Drywall- According to the water standard, drywall can be restorable in category 1 and 2 water and if the seams are intact with no visible mold growth.
• Plaster- Plaster exposed to category 1 and 2 water is restorable. In case of category 3 water damage, plaster applied on wood or metal lath is restorable.
• Wood framing- Wood framing is restorable regardless of the water category. However, long-term exposure to moisture can cause warping and swelling.

Mahopac Businesses Stay Open with SERVPRO Mold Damage Remediation

6/4/2021 (Permalink)

Did you find mold in your office common area? Contact our certified SERVPRO technicians for mold damage remediation services.

Several Challenges from Mold Damage in a Mahopac Office

Mold damage smells and looks unappealing. When an office has a colony infestation, it does not get better with time and instead continues to spread.

Restoration for mold damage in a Mahopac office requires several levels of expertise from SERVPRO technicians. First, the mold needs discovery, then the remediation of existing infestation, and finally treatment against any further establishment of colonies after the cleanup.

Containment Before Remediation

Mold spores spread quickly, and to inhibit this from occurring, SERVPRO technicians put up barriers around the work area. The technicians remove items with evidence of mold growth and determine whether they can restore through cleaning or require disposal. If sheetrock and other building materials show signs of infestation, they get removed through a controlled demo tear-out to halt any further spreading. For a light surface infestation, we attempt to remove the mold growth and preserve the underlying materials.

Standard Cleaning Solutions for Items with Mold Damage

SERVPRO technicians are certified as Applied Microbial Remediation Specialists (AMRT) and know the best course of action for any mold infestation. We follow the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) best practices to ensure a successful outcome. Not every object with mold growth has to be discarded. Through various antifungal and antimicrobial treatments, we can clean and sanitize many items in the office, such as upholstered chairs in a conference room, saving the business owner the cost of replacing these pieces.

Drying and Cleaning Surfaces with Mold Damage

Mold cannot exist without moisture. Our technicians dry the areas with mold growth and carefully remove the desiccated matter. Post-drying treatment with their antimicrobial solutions assists with limiting any reestablishment before repairs happen.

Odor Control Measures

Mold may have a particular, musty odor that lingers in some cases, especially in porous objects such as furnishings. Our SERVPRO technicians have access to various deodorization and neutralization equipment to render these pungent scents a non-issue. In some cases, they need to apply multiple applications to eradicate odors.

SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 is ready to handle any size mold damage. Our technicians have the knowledge and equipment to make the mold damage to the property, "Like it never even happened."

The Next Step Kent Business Owners Need to Rebuild After a Natural Disaster

2/19/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Putnam County knows the commercial restoration process inside and out. Here are some of our best tips in choosing the right company

If you’re a Kent business owner, we have a question for you: What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic?

Many business owners will answer the question with some variant. You can’t always plan for the future or know what will happen that can impact your business. While that’s true, you can always find ways to reach your customers, be agile and provide services in new and different ways.

It’s a powerful lesson. And it’s true in other parts of the business as well. In some cases, it may have spurred business owners to put plans in place to deal with more predictable types of natural disasters (problems like fires and floods and severe winter storms).

We want to support Putnam County businesses, so our team of local experts has pulled together a list of some of the most powerful things business owners can do after disaster strikes.

How to Make the Recovery Process Easier

It’s possible to open your business again after a disaster and to even be more successful in its aftermath. Here are some steps you can take to make it a reality:

Know and follow your disaster plan. Spend some time learning and studying your disaster plan before you need it, so you won’t be caught in a stressful situation without knowing your best next steps. In some cases, you might even think about moving your business to a backup location, so you can continue serving customers.

Work as closely as you can with your insurance company. Be ready to provide what your insurer will need to help you move forward. In most cases, that will be photos of the damage (before it’s cleaned up) or an inventory that details lost or damaged items. If you can, include their value, too.

What Are Cost-Efficient Remediation Strategies for Your Shop?

10/21/2020 (Permalink)

When you find mold in your Mohopac property, don't wait! Call the professionals at SERVPRO right away--we are always available.

Mahopac structures can battle mold formation at any time of the year, so knowing the right professionals to help can save time and money. 

The annual climate and weather conditions can leave many Mahopac shops on the wrong side of flooding and mold growth. Understanding how quickly these conditions can develop in moist conditions can help you to appreciate the need for water restoration and remediation services as soon as colonization is possible. 

Mold remediation for Mahopac homes and businesses describes multiple actions taken immediately when our professionals arrive. Not only are you concerned about your stock and wares, but your shop is also at risk of allowing structural deterioration on construction materials and fixtures without moisture removal and efficient remediation techniques beginning as soon as possible. Some of the most common remediating approaches we utilize include: 

• Surface Cleaning – With the use of antimicrobial products in our inventory, we can eliminate light colonization and onset spotting from impacted surfaces. We can also use this approach as an inhibitor to spreading colonies. 

• Abrasive Cleaning – There are times where more direct and aggressive measures are necessary to combat active colonization when it is still plausible to save the hosting material. Soda blasting and sanding can fit into this category. 

• Controlled Demolition – Sometimes, the only solution to highly compromised construction material is removal, discarding, and replacement. We have in-house contractors to help in this regard to limit the spread of microbial threats in your business. 

Can Contents Get Protected from Fungal Exposure? 

Through on-site and off-site recovery techniques, we can protect your shop and its contents. Our Contents Claim Inventory Service (CCIS) catalogs damage, item worth, and location to have thorough records of your valued possessions. 

Microbial threats are a substantial concern for businesses, as widespread development can force your doors closed. Our SERVPRO of Putnam County team can help with a fast response when you call (845) 228-1090.

What Should I Do if a Pipe Breaks Inside My Mahopac Tire Shop?

7/25/2020 (Permalink)

Water damage can occur at any time to any business. Make sure you contact SERVPRO for water removal and remediation for your business.

For Water Removal Inside Your Tire Shop in Mahopac Call SERVPRO

If a pipe running to your bathroom or waiting room inside your Mahopac tire store gets a crack inside it hundreds of gallons of water could pour into your building. If your tire shop is mostly constructed out of concrete and cinder block, the damages could be minor since those materials can withstand small amounts of moisture.

What happens if my concrete or cinder blocks get wet?

During most commercial water removal projects in Mahopac, moisture can soak into many of your shop's building materials and structural components, including your concrete floors and cinder block walls. Your cinder blocks or concrete masonry units (CMU's) are made of cement gravel and water, which makes them porous. However, most cinder blocks get coated or painted with a vapor barrier that helps them withstand moisture.

How can you tell if my cinder blocks got wet?

• Initial Inspection- Since cinder blocks, all have large gaps inside them, water can sit in the cavities. Our SERVPRO technicians can use a non-penetrating moisture meter to find out where the moisture went inside your cinder blocks. However, the paint on the outside of a cinder block can work as a vapor barrier and hold moisture inside the cavities. Therefore, in some cases, we can drill holes on lower mortar joints to let water drain out.
• Restorability- According to the industry's standards, cinder blocks can be restored when dealing with clean, grey, or black water sources.
• Drying Procedures- To dry out your cinder blocks, holes must first be drilled into lower mortar joints to drain all of the liquid H2O. If necessary, we can drill larger holes into the mortar joints so that air can get pushed into the cavities. We can also use injection drying equipment to push air into the cavities in your shop's cinder blocks if needed.

If your cinder block walls and concrete floors in your tire shop ever get wet after a pipe breaks, call SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 any day of the week.

Can Soot and Smoke Odors in My Mahopac Business Be Eliminated Without Replacing Everything Affected?

6/28/2020 (Permalink)

If you ever need help cleaning up in the aftermath of a commercial fire, call SERVPRO of Putnam County.

Soot and Smoke Odors in Mahopac

SERVPRO, a Local Mahopac Company, is Often Able to Successful Remediate Fire-Damaged Businesses Without Having to Replace Everything Impacted by the Fire.

Fires at Mahopac commercial properties are a relatively common occurrence. Carelessly discarded cigarette butts, spontaneously combusting flammable inventory items, wind-blown wildfires, and fires spreading from neighboring establishments are all potential causes of these commercial disasters. These unforeseen situations usually arise without much warning and can lead to substantial losses. Fires can close your firm for extended periods, robbing it of revenue, damage or destroy your valuable inventory and business document, and even lead to the failure of your entire enterprise. With that said, companies like SERVPRO can help you avoid, mitigate, or overcome these catastrophic issues.

What Kind of Fire-Damaged Business Properties Can Be Successfully Restored?

SERVPRO’s technicians are highly trained and experienced in handling commercial fire damage in Mahopac and its environs. The firm itself is certified by the trusted Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), and the organization has credentialed company experts in such fields as Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, and Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning. Our company has extensive experience in effectively remediating fire damage in the following types of commercial, industrial, and residential structures:

    •    Large, high-rise office towers
    •    Small office buildings
    •    Hotels and motels
    •    Big-box retail stores
    •    Small retail establishments
    •    Restaurants of all sizes
    •    Industrial & manufacturing sites
    •    Apartment and condo complexes of all sizes

SERVPRO, from its experience, clearly understands the different measures necessary to successfully deal with fire damage in each of these types of buildings.

What Time and Money-Saving Services Does SERVPRO Offer?

In remediating your commercial structure, our workers first try to restore fire-damaged materials instead of simply replacing them.  This allows us to save you time and money. Some of the services and areas of your home we focus our efforts on are:

    •    Fire damage mitigation
    •    Removing smoke soot from structural elements like floors, walls, ceilings, and attic rafters
    •    Fire-related odor control
    •    HVAC system cleaning
    •    Furniture and personal property restoration
    •    Destroyed component reconstruction

All of these services seek to minimize the effects of a fire, restore damaged structural elements and personal property, eliminate airborne fire-related particulate matter, and control odors.

How Exactly Does SERVPRO Cleanup Soot and Neutralize Smoke Odors, Without Having to Discard Most Fire-Impacted Materials?

SERVPRO technicians handle all commercial fire damage in a methodical way. They employ various sophisticated cleaning and restoration measures to save as many fire-damaged materials as possible. This also enables us to get jobs done more quickly. The following list details some of the many ways we work to return your property to its pre-fire condition:

    •    Cleaning glass and windows with low-alkaline glass cleaners
    •    Removing non-grease-based residues with dry sponges
    •    Cleaning dry and oil-based residues from wooden, metal, and painted surfaces using wet methods
    •    Using both wet and dry methods to remove soiling from various structural elements and household contents
    •    Employing peroxide active cleaning methods to remove thick soot from fragile surfaces
    •    Remediating HVAC systems with general-purpose detergents and deodorants, and ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers

The results of all these efforts are that we save more damaged materials and restore your home to its pre-fire condition more quickly.

As a Mahopac business owner, the last thing you ever want to experience is a catastrophic fire.  Even relatively small blazes can do substantial long-term harm to your bottom line. Inventory could be impacted or destroyed, the structural integrity of your business facility could be compromised, and, if a fire is severe enough, your commercial site might be closed for days or weeks as repairs are completed. With all that said, you should not ignore the very real possibility that one day your site might suffer fire damage.  Therefore, as a responsible business operator, you should know what can be done if such a disaster befalls your commercial structure. Also, in order to limit losses, you should prepare to act quickly in the event of a fire. In general, the sooner you address the resulting fire damage, the faster and cheaper it can be repaired.

Commercial fires often affect owners, customers, employees, and communities. They rob these various parties of income, service, and economic contributions. As a result, business fires can be traumatic for numerous people in a town or city. If the impacted firm is big enough, it may even affect an entire town, city, or region. It is for all of these reasons that business owners should remain vigilant against fire risks and remediate any fire damage done to their businesses as soon as possible.

If you ever need help cleaning up in the aftermath of a commercial fire, call SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090.

Why Can’t My Cleaning Crew Handle My Carmel Office’s Mold Damage?

6/10/2020 (Permalink)

We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!

Mold Removal Companies Like SERVPRO Follow EPA Protocols Resulting in the Best Outcomes for Carmel Businesses

Mold growth is unlike other kinds of dirt or staining found in your Carmel business office. Your housekeeping staff might express a combination of embarrassment that the mold or mildew exists, and reassurances indicating they feel confident they can eradicate the microbial growth. Without taking anything away from their dedication to your business, it is a far more reasonable plan to seek for a mold remediation expert.

What Is Mold Remediation?

When you struggle with a fungal infestation on the walls, floors, or other areas of your Carmel offices, hiring mold removal companies with proven positive outcomes is critical. It is essential to understand that, strictly speaking, it is not possible to remove all mold spores from typical office environments. Our focus is to mitigate the conditions contributing to the mold proliferation and to remediate the damage done by active mold colonies. This forms the basis of mold remediation protocols developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):

    •    Locate the mold
    •    Contain the mold-infested space
    •    Remove the mold
    •    Clear away the debris
    •    Apply EPA-registered antimicrobials to minimize rebound
    •    Eliminate the cause of mold growth to inhibit future outbreaks

What Is the Number One Predictor of Mold Growth in Any Space?

Whether in residences or commercial buildings, active and progressive mold growth always requires a water or moisture source. SERVPRO crews arriving to address your mold damage inspect your structure to determine where the moisture comes into the equation. Even as we take steps to remove the current mold outbreak, we are mindful that a plan must be created to fix the leak, lower the humidity, avoid the spills, or take whatever steps are needed to remedy the moisture problem.

The mold remediation team at SERVPRO of Putnam County reacts quickly to your current mold issues but urges long term protection to avoid future problems. Call us at (845) 228-1090 to discuss your options.

When Water Damages Your Mahopac Commercial Property

2/15/2020 (Permalink)

Don't let water damage ruin your venue bookings. SERVPRO has the expertise to dry your business.

Honor Reservations Despite Water Damage at Mahopac Event Center  

Every type of business handles exposure to water loss differently. Moving operations off-site or closing for a few days while our team addresses the water removal and drying can work for some companies with only minor ill effects. Other businesses have their physical location wholly integrated with their products and services. A Mahopac event center cannot deliver what you promised if a water emergency compromises the building.  

Special Celebrations Cannot Wait 

When water damage invades your Mahopac business, a fast response is crucial. Your clients reserve the space and catering service for once-in-a-lifetime events like weddings, anniversaries, graduations, and the like. Rescheduling is impossible in nearly all cases, and merely reneging on the contract you signed with your customers destroys your reputation and chases away future bookings. 

A Professional Team  

SERVPRO responds as soon as possible to your call for help. Our employees hold multiple certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), preparing them to apply mitigation and remediation best practice strategies. We can scale our response concerning the extent and intensity of the damage, supporting your responsibility to provide the services promised. 

Top-Notch Resources 

When we arrive at your site, our signature green service vehicles contain the water detection and extraction tools needed to clear the liquid water from the space. Moisture detectors map the dimensions of the water migration, and moisture meters establish the amount of water absorbed by structures. SERVPRO focuses on fast water removal, using commercial-grade submersible pumps and truck-mounted or portable extractors. For wet carpets, our technicians use an in-place technique leveraging the combined weight of our extraction equipment and the weight of the workers to force as much fluid out of both carpeting and padding as possible. If hardwood floors are soaked, we rely on negative air pressure (suction) to pull water from several layers, including the subfloor using tightly adhered floor mats. 

Efficient Drying Strategies 

Once the liquid water is gone, SERVPRO technicians calculate drying goals. We use the moisture data from the metering done during the assessment and compare that to the levels in similar materials in unaffected areas of the building--the drying standard. We use a combination of air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to reach the drying standard. The heat and air movement accelerate evaporation while the dehumidifiers capture the resulting vapor for disposal.

 Count on SERVPRO of Putnam County to address water damage fast so that your event pavilion is ready for the celebrations booked without delay. Call us at (845) 228-1090 to set up an evaluation and immediate intervention.

In as little as half a minute, a small fire can turn into a full-blown fire that ravages a retail business and threatens the lives of the people in the building. You rely on your store for income, and you have a great responsibility to your customers and employees. When a fire strikes, it is crucial to address the damage and keep your employees and customers happy.

SERVPRO has the experience required to deal with commercial fire damage in your Mahopac retail store. We can minimize downtime by performing professional containment. This can keep your business running while we are performing cleaning and restoration. Our remediation methods ensure that you can continue keeping your employees working and providing services to the community.

We understand that that apart from being a place where consumers buy goods, a retail store is also a source of livelihood for your employees. We can act fast to bring things at your retail store back to normal. Retail space restoration demands a high level of expertise. Our team is trained to restore commercial properties quickly and safely. We take care of all aspects of retail store damage, which may include the products in stock, fixtures, and the building itself.

After a fire, smoke damage can be severe. Smoke particles can permeate different items, and the foul odor can be challenging to eliminate. Water from fire hoses or the building’s sprinkler system can also increase the damage in your retail store, and mold can grow in damp areas. Our team can use moisture meters to determine the extent of water penetration in floors, ceilings, and walls. After extracting the water, we can set up air movers and dehumidifiers in the affected areas to ensure adequate drying.

Ash may stick to walls and floors and cause further fire damage because of the caustic by-products found in burned materials. We can perform efficient clean-up using mechanical actions that produce mild agitation. These actions are safe to apply to a majority of affected surfaces. For instance, our crew can use feather dusters to remove excess residues from shelves. We can also use the cleaning brush attachment of vacuum cleaners to vacuum deposits of loose particles from wall and ceiling surfaces.

Some items in your retail store may be salvageable. We can perform content restoration for such items using various specialized cleaning techniques. Our crew can use specialized equipment to restore hard-to-reach surfaces. For instance, we can use high capacity vacuums to decontaminate the HVAC system if it is affected. We can also eliminate odors using odor counteractants or thermal fogging equipment. At SERVPRO, we also know that affordability is a primary consideration for our valued clients. Therefore, we offer our services at competitive rates.

Now that you know something about our commercial fire restoration services, you can call SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 for help. Our technicians can help you restore your retail space quickly. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Give our skilled professionals a call whenever you need us at (845) 228-1090.

Extraction Equipment Used In Flooded Mahopac Schools

Flooding can be a detrimental situation that completely ruins areas like carpeting and linoleum tilework of a Mahopac school. With how quickly these effects can spread throughout your institution, it can easily exceed the reach and resources of your custodial and maintenance staff. Our SERVPRO professionals have a fast response to flooding and water loss emergencies that affect our area schools because we know that hundreds of people get impacted by loss incidents like these.
 
Standing water can often be one of the most hazardous effects of flood damage in Mahopac schools, as this can continually damage the surfaces exposed and saturate structural elements until this high volume gets removed. Our professionals have a massive inventory of recovery tools and equipment, including a wide selection of extraction machines and devices. From light wands to trash pumps, we have the equipment to suit the specific needs of your building. It is our objective from the moment that mitigation work begins to get your doors back open to students and faculty as promptly as possible.
 
Flood loss scenarios can be widespread and destructive, spreading beyond the penetration point throughout other rooms and communal areas on the same level of the school. Our professionals can begin extraction work as soon as we arrive, especially using wet-vacs and light wands to prevent the further spread of debilitating water damage. Our prompt response with these extraction tools can help us to reach the point where the combination of air movers and dehumidifiers can remove the lingering moisture.
 
High-capacity extractors can protect flooring in your school, such as linoleum, from succumbing to water penetration and popping tiles loose. As a standard flooring option for public schools, our protection of these materials can help to get the facility cleaned quickly and ready for the return of students and your employees.
 
We have multiple extraction tools that can suit the specific needs and immediate effects in your area school. It is our utmost priority to clean and restore this loss quickly, so you can count on our SERVPRO of Putnam County team to show that We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

How Fire Damage Burns up Profits in Your Carmel Business

After the fire, you need a professional restoration team. SERVPRO of Putnam County is at your service!

Commercial Fire Damage Repair and Restoration in Carmel 

Carmel is, perhaps, in the perfect location for both commuting to work and as a weekend getaway. Regardless of how long a person spends in town, local delis are an essential part of daily life. When one of these, or any, the commercial operation is shut down for an extended length of time, it can mean the end of the business. 

Commercial fire damage in a Carmel business can include everything from physical damage due to the heat, to flooding from the fire department’s efforts to stop the blaze. When it comes to remediation and repair, SERVPRO response teams can handle all of it up to major construction. 

Every business needs our type of full-service support. Almost any agency can clear away scorched furniture, appliances, and other debris. Not every agency has the training and experience to examine a set of chairs that look ready for the dumpster and understand they can be cleaned using powerful chemicals and intense methods like immersion to break apart the layers of smoke residues and return them to a useful condition. 

Since this is a business involving food preparation and service, SERVPRO technicians also clean every surface to county and state health standards. Among our inventory of cleaning agents are sterilants more potent than bleach that eliminate the threat from smoke residues and mold spores that can contaminate food and serving dishes after a fire. 

In some cases, remediation and repair are not enough. When an oven, refrigerator, or other appliance suffers catastrophic damage, team members can quickly remove the damaged item for disposal according to state regulations. Our administration personnel then work with the insurance company to make sure the customer has access to the full replacement cost to buy a new one, and then help install it. The team leader then schedules an inspection with the local utility company to have their work approved. 

It’s not just about customers for us. The owners of SERVPRO of Putnam County grew up here. If you need our services in Carmel, Mahopac, Kent, or Patterson, we are the agency to help return your home to its pre-fire condition. Call us today at (845) 228-1090 to get started.

Call Our Water Damage Experts To Remove Any Foul Odors From Your Commercial Property In Southeast

7/22/2019 (Permalink)

Contact SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 for immediate assistance.

Do Not Let Malodors Affect Your Reputation, Arrange Commercial Water Cleanup In Southeast Now!

In situations where water has entered areas of your commercial business property, the odors can often be as unpleasant as the moisture itself. All types of water contain microbes, which may be the root cause of the odor. At the same time, when moisture comes into contact with tables, chairs, or carpets, it can loosen moisture. During warmer periods of the year, excess moisture can raise humidity levels, which increases our perception of odors. These can be problematic for small-business owners that serve food or drinks.

Restoring your business to its preloss condition means enlisting professional services for commercial water cleanup in your Southeast business. Our pool of technicians is locally-based with qualifications in odor control awarded by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) body. Bringing odors under control can be a primary concern for public service industry business managers that seek to provide a welcoming environment for their customers.

Since moisture and its effect on loosening pre-existing odorous particles from furnishings is the source of the problem, SERVPRO makes removing moisture and drying the property a priority. In many situations, proper drying of the internal structure, which may involve floating carpets with air-moves, or accessing wall cavities using Injectidry systems, results in the offending odor dispersing. However, sometimes an odor can remain even after drying of the property is complete.

When odors remain after drying is successful, a SERVPRO odor control technician (OCT) can utilize a range of professional deodorization methods. In water damage scenarios, the two primary means of dispersing deodorants is direct spraying, using hand-pumps, or wet fogging with Ultra Low Volume (ULV) foggers. In high concentrations, deodorants can be harmful. To ensure temporary closure is kept to a minimum SERVPRO deploy box fans to ventilate the structure allowing staff and customers to return to the structure sooner.

An uncontrolled odor situation can negatively affect your business. Contact SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 for immediate assistance.

Top Causes of Commercial Water Damage in Putnam County

Protect your Carmel business from the common causes of water damage.

If you own a business in the Mahopac area, there a few common causes of water damage that you should be aware of. 

1. Broken pipes - In upstate NY, this is the number one cause of water damage in both residential and commercial buildings. Make sure that your pipes are not vulnerable to freezing and bursting and that your plumbing system is professionally maintained.

2. Sewage backups- If sewage backs up into your business, you can be faced with having to keep your doors closed during restoration. Make sure that you have your system inspected yearly.

3.Malfunctioning appliances - If you have a restaurant in the Brewster area, a refrigerator leak or dishwasher flood can cause significant damage. Keep your eyes open to the small signs of a leak such as floors that are lifting, small puddles and rust on the exterior of the appliance. Call your plumber at the first sign of a leak before it is too late.

Commercial Water Damage to Businesses in Southeast, NY

6/22/2018 (Permalink)

Businesses in Putnam County cannot afford to stay closed due to water damage. Every day that your doors are closed is lost revenue. Water damage can be caused by a myriad of reasons. Weather related water damage from storms, burst pipes and flooding is the first thing that may come to mind however there are other causes of water damage to commercial buildings that SERVPRO of Putnam County responds to. 

Plumbing: Broken pipes that leak water- whether it be a trickle or a major release – cause water damage to businesses in the Brewster area. 

Malfunctioning appliances and equipment: Refrigerator supply line leaks and other mechanical failures in commercial kitchens are a common call we get. If the leak occurs while the restaurant is closed, there can be substantial damage before it is discovered.  

Outdated Sprinkler systems: If the sprinkler system in your building is older, it can malfunction and be set off when not needed, causing water damage. Have your sprinkler system checked yearly to prevent this.  

Sewage Line Damage: A damaged sewer line can cause a back up- leaving your business flooded with black water, which is a biohazard that causes significant damage. Tree roots can cause damage to your sewer line. If your Lake Carmel business is in an older building, the lines could also collapse due to age. And of course, clogs are a common reason for sewage line back ups.  

Don't let water damage close your doors for long. Call SERVPRO of Putnam County at (845) 228-1090 if you have a broken pipe that has caused leaking through your ceiling or your restaurants ice maker has leaked. We come out, work fast and do the job right to get you back in business!

Prepare your Putnam County business for hurricane season

9/21/2017 (Permalink)

Having an emergency preparedness kit in your Putnam County office space or business will help keep you in business during storm season.

Over the past month, we have experienced several major hurricanes affect the Unites States. Aside from the personal losses people have suffered, businesses have lost billions in damages. The impact of this – from lost revenue, employees going without work and the cost and effort involved in recovering from flooding is staggering. Business owners can't always prepare for every unexpected natural disaster but there are some precautions that can be taken to minimize the impact.  

The first step a business owner in Brewster should take is to determine whether you are in a high or medium flood area using a flood map.   Keep in mind, however, that even if you are in a low flood risk area, you are not immune to storm damage. After recent hurricanes Irene and Sandy, even towns as far north as Carmel and Mahopac experienced flooding and were without power for up to a week.  

It is essential for businesses to create an emergency contingency plan as well. This includes the protocol employees should follow during a storm and how to protect and shut down equipment safely. Remember to have a plan for how to secure your building as well, in case you are not able to go there for a few days due to blocked roads or power outages. An emergency preparedness kit on site is necessary in case employees cannot leave the business. It should include enough food, water, medical supplies and flashlights for several days as well as other essential items.
