2/15/2022 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration in Madison County.

SERVPRO^® of Norfolk responds to storm damage emergencies every winter, and we see the difference having a storm safety plan makes. The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety offers this information on what a business can do after a winter storm event:

Activate your business continuity plan

• Ensure everyone is safe
• Make sure guests, clients, and employees are safe 
• Be prepared to evacuate if structural damage from snow and ice makes a building unsafe
• Stay away from downed powerlines

Snow removal 

• Safety first! 
• Keep the parking lot and sidewalks surrounding the building free of snow and ice. Shovel after each snowfall. Keep ice melt/salt on the ground to prevent slips and falls.  
• Place non-slip mats in front of entryways to prevent slipping as employees and customers enter/exit your business property
• Monitor your roof’s snow load to ensure it does not exceed its maximum capacity.
• Conduct an assessment of the snow and ice equivalent 
• If you have excessive snow or ice dams, have your snow removal team safely remove the snow and ice dams  
• Watch for signs of snow load damage, such as creaking sounds, a sagging roof, cracks in the ceiling or walls, water stains, and doors or windows that no longer open and close correctly
• In case of a power outage, use your generator

12/20/2021 (Permalink)

We restore commercial flooding in Dixon and Wayne Counties.

SERVPRO^® of Norfolk has been restoring water damage in Wakefield for many years. We understand that every minute your business is closed represents lost revenue and reduced productivity. Our technicians have the equipment, training, and experience to mitigate and restore water damage efficiently. Here are some examples of the advanced technology and equipment we use to get your business operational quickly:

Moisture Detection and Measurement Equipment

Recent advances, like infrared cameras, can help us detect water through a wall, ceiling, or floor.

• An infrared camera may be used to identify water location for thorough water removal
• Sensitive moisture detectors, hygrometers, and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation

Water Extraction Equipment

Powerful extraction equipment speeds the drying process by removing the bulk of the water from your home or business.

• Submersible and gas-powered pumps for continuous pumping of high-level water
• Truck-mounted and portable extraction units perform efficient water removal

Drying Equipment

Industrial strength air movers and dehumidifiers are used to remove the remaining moisture from ceilings, walls, and floors of your home or business. Proper drying helps to prevent swelling and warping of floors, walls, and furniture.

• High-speed air movers cause moisture to evaporate at a faster pace
• Industrial grade dehumidifiers pull the water vapor from the air

Reconstruction Services in Creighton?

We restore commercial property damage in Knox County.

Creighton Businesses Need to Know!

A pipe burst overnight and flooded the second floor of my commercial building, and the water seeped into the floors and walls, damaging the first-floor drywall. Our insurance adjuster told us to call SERVPRO^® of Norfolk. The team arrived quickly and inspected and assessed the situation. The SERVPRO technicians worked systematically through the building. They used industrial-grade water extraction equipment and powerful air blowers to remove the water. They documented the drying process to ensure the building was returned to normal moisture levels. They replaced the damaged drywall and repainted, and now you would never know there had been a flood in my store.

Sewage Spill in Norfolk?

8/30/2021 (Permalink)

We are trusted leaders in commercial damage mitigation in Norfolk.

Sewage Spills Are Dangerous

SERVPRO of Norfolk technicians are on-call 24-hours a day in Norfolk and have required safety gear and equipment to handle any form of a sewage spill.

Sewer system water, or “Category 3 black water” carries dangerous viruses and bacteria, so it is imperative for the health and safety of your employees and customers to mitigate the damage as quickly as possible. 

This water is highly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Blackwater can come from flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with fecal matter, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth. Blackwater may also contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes.

Sewage backups happen for many reasons. Some examples are:

• Blockages due to tree roots
• Broken or collapsed sewer lines 
• Septic tank obstructions
• City sanitary mainline obstructions

Call Us Today!

When you have a sewage spill or another form of commercial damage, SERVPRO of Norfolk has a team of highly trained restoration technicians ready to assist you 24-hours a day. We’ll restore your commercial damage in Norfolk, “Like it never even happened.”
