Commercial Emergency Fire Services

4/20/2021 (Permalink)

Water and fire damages tend to occur when we least expect them to. For commercial properties, time is of the essence to ensure business operations can resume as soon as possible. The same goes for commercial residential buildings. We recently had one of our client's commercial buildings catch on fire, affecting several units. We responded right away to perform emergency services. Our technicians boarded up doors and windows to ensure the property was safe and secure. Although the HOA ended up filing an insurance claim for the structural damage, the contents are considered homeowner responsibility. With multiple units affected this means we have to work with different insurance companies, multiple claims, and various adjusters. SERVPRO of Sorrento Valley is prepared and ready to handle all types of large, commercial losses. We have the experience and organization needed to properly and efficiently handle this type of work. If your business or commercial property experience a water or fire damage, give us a call!

California Asbestos Testing Laws

10/13/2020 (Permalink)

A common misconception customers have is that their home does not require asbestos testing. However, there are certain laws and regulations in place regarding when it is required.

First: What is asbestos? Asbestos occurs naturally in the environment around the world, including Central and Northern California. The term asbestos refers to several varieties of mineral fibers that are mined and processed for commercial uses around the world. Because asbestos fibers are microscopic, lightweight, and are extremely resistant to heat and chemicals, asbestos became a valued building material throughout the 1900s. Although asbestos is no longer used in building materials, many older structures still contain the substance. Asbestos is most commonly found in ceiling insulation, but it is also often found in other materials, including:

• Dry wall joint patching compounds
• Stove or pipe insulation
• Floor tiles
• Furnaces and duct work
• Roofing materials

Second: When is asbestos testing required?

According to District Rule 1206, regarding residential facilities, "A regulated residential facility is any building, condominium, or apartment that contains more than four dwelling units. A regulated residential facility is also a group of buildings located on the same property and managed by a common entity, even when there are fewer than four dwelling units in each building." 

For individual homes, there is no exact year where testing is required. However many companies will not perform demo in homes built before 1986 for the safety of

Commercial Building Emergency Safety Plan

10/13/2020 (Permalink)

Liron Shalom-Hickey our Director of Marketing and Client Relations

If your warehouse or office building were to experience a sudden water damage from a burst water main, would your employees know what to do?

Make a Plan!

The first step to creating a plan would be to ask yourself some basic questions. For example, would your employees know what to do? Does anyone know where the water main shut off is?  Is there an evacuation plan and do all of the employees know it? Start from these questions to begin putting together a safety plan. The plan should compose of 3 parts: first the safety of everyone, second a set of procedures to follow, and third how to carry on with business to avoid a disruption in cash flow.

Here is a list of important things to include in your plan:

• An emergency contact list (also accessible from off-site)
• Emergency procedures
• Emergency staffing instructions
• Vendor lists and contact info
• Data backup plans and other resources to support business operations in case you have to temporarily or permanently relocate your business operations
