How Our Business Takes Care of Your Business | SERVPRO of Rochester

5/15/2024 (Permalink)

Let our team help your Rochester business sparkle with a variety of commercial services!

If you own a business in the Rochester community, you know just how much work it takes to be successful. There is so much to do on a daily basis while also planning for the future and keeping everyone on task to meet your goals. 

While owning and running a business is certainly more of a lifestyle than a simple 9–5 job, that doesn’t mean you have to do every single thing yourself. Relying on others and helpful companies to get you where you need to be can take some serious weight off of your shoulders.

SERVPRO of Rochester is here to help make your experience as a business owner that much more rewarding. We proudly offer our restoration and cleaning services to the amazing businesses in our community and we are here 24/7 for whenever you need us.  

We Help You Through Disasters

When you think of disaster situations, Mother Nature typically comes to mind. Severe thunderstorms, floods and tornadoes can certainly cause serious damage to your property and require immediate cleanup needs. 

Manmade accidents can also end in disaster and require a trained hand to recover from. Breakroom fires, chemical spills and water leaks from busted pipes can all cause serious damage in a short amount of time. 

Did you know that up to 25% of businesses do not reopen again after suffering from a disaster? That’s a lot of failed potential due to something relatively simple as business restoration! 

Call us as soon as you suffer from a disaster situation so we can get right to work on your recovery. We will assess the situation, designate a project manager for the job and help you repair your property from start to finish so you can open back up faster. 

We Can Help You Keep Your Business Clean

While you most likely have a janitorial staff that helps you keep your property clean on a regular basis, they probably don’t have the training or job description to handle the more niche cleaning jobs. Do the jobs of cleaning your upholstery and deep-cleaning your carpets land with you, then? 

It doesn’t have to be this way! Our commercial cleaning team can come out to your business to handle your carpet cleaning, upholstery and drapery cleaning, and we can even get into your air ducts and clean out your vents. Having a clean business is important visually for your customers, but it also ensures the health and safety of your staff that are under your roof every day.

Those Unexpected Situations

You probably plan for common disaster situations like fires, floods and the occasional water leak from rainstorms, but you most likely don’t have a plan for every single disaster scenario imaginable. If you find yourself the unfortunate victim of a crime, suffer an accident at work or come upon a sewage leak, it can be really overwhelming. 

Let our biohazard team handle any sort of cleanup when it comes to potentially toxic substances. Without the proper PPE, substances like blood, crime scene residue and sewage can be dangerous or even deadly. 

Our crew will arrive quickly, secure the situation and tackle your cleanup with confidence and with safety in mind. We can also handle repairs and reconstruction needs if your property suffered damage as a result of the situation. SERVPRO of Rochester is here for you for whatever you may need for your business.

We can help make sure your business runs smoothly no matter what. Contact SERVPRO of Rochester today.

Just like residential homes and properties that need to be prepared for winter, your commercial buildings, apartments, or rooms do too!

SERVPRO of Rochester has a handful of tips that we hope you find helpful for your commercial building. 

1. Have your HVAC system inspected by a professional before starting up the heating system.
2. Walk around the perimeter of the building to make sure the grade is pitched away from the building. Dirt may need to be added to get positive pitch away from the building. You don't want to get water in the basement of through the windows in spring. 
3. Winterized your irrigation system. Unhook all hoses from the outside water faucet. 
4. Put large mats that will catch salt, sand, snow and water from being tracked into the rest of the building. 
5. Keep the temperature constant. 
6. Change the batteries in smoke alarms and check CO detectors to ensure they are working properly. 
7. Have an exit map and plan for the residents. Post the plan. This can save precious time if event of a fire.

What is the difference between commercial and residential buildings? 

A commercial building is considered to be a place where business is conducted OR there is more than one place of residence. 

A residential building is considered one, single dwelling. 

Commercial buildings are considererd: churches, schools, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, stores, office buildings, airports, restaurants, senior living facilities and more!

As a commercial business owner, you understand the most important asset you have is the building! SERVPRO of Rochester recommends since the building is literally everything, that you take some precautionary steps to help lessen your chances of incurring a water or fire damage. 

Here are some interesting statistics on the cause of fires in commercial buildings from Koorsen Fire & Security website. 

• 57% of restaurant fires start in the kitchen.
• 30% of church fires start in the kitchen and offices come in right behind at 29%. 
• 22% of store fires start because of electrial issues. 
• 18% of warehouse fires are from faulty electrical. 

So, how are these statistics helpful to commercial owners? 

Here are a few tips that SERVPRO of Rochester hopes that you find helpful.

1. Check to ensure your indoor sprinkler system undergoes an annual inspection.
2. Check all smoke alarms to ensure they are working and this is also a good time to change the batteries. 
3. Have someone check to make sure all electrical appliances are turned off when leaving. Unplug them if you feel extra safe.
4. Check your water heater.  Water heaters can hold 40-120 gallons of water. 
5. Fix a leaky faucet. Statistics show that at a rate of one drip per each second in a month that can add up to 250 gallons. Catching this early will help save money on water bills and may help you avoid a water damage. 

These five stephs can help you lessen your chances of a water or fire damage in your home. 

We work with all insurance companies. SERVPRO of Rochester stands ready to help you 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

Commercials Businesses in Southeastern Minnesota

6/19/2021 (Permalink)

Commercial businesses experience water damages just like many of our homes. 

The website ipropertymanagement said that in commercial businesses the water softner is the culprit 72% of the time as the source of loss. The site also shares that commercial owners and or managers should check to see the age of their water softener. If the water softener is older than 12 years old, your chances of having a water damage just increased even more. 

Knowledge is power, right?

Here's some more tips to help you catch a water damage or water issue before it becomes catastrophic.

• Check your monthly utility bill, specifically the water usage. Compare this months amount of water used to previous months. If the number has increased dramatically without the business intentionally increasing the amount of water, you may be dealing with a water issue. 
• Look around all the edges in the lowest floor in the building. Are there cracks? Do you have water coming in? 
• Look up! Is the ceiling discolored? Bubbled? Cracked? If so, you may be dealing with a water issue.
• It's always good to inspect the walls, floors, and trim to check for moisture, bubbling, cracking, or discoloration.  

SERVPRO of Rochester has worked with many commercial customers in Rochester, Stewartville and Pine Island on water damages.
