Is Coronavirus Cleaning Necessary for Commercial Property?

8/11/2022 (Permalink)

For more information on Covid-19 Cleaning, Call SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach 562-506-4992

According to reports by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Covid-19 can thrive on a wide range of surfaces. This means that you could contract it when you come into contact with a contaminated surface.

Some people who get infected are asymptomatic while others show symptoms. When they finally do, it's mostly after 14 days. Therefore, exercising caution contributes to minimizing the spread of coronavirus significantly.

One of the guaranteed ways to curb this spread is hiring skilled commercial building cleaners. You need SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach to keep your surfaces disinfected, thus reducing exposure to this virus. We work on a wide range of businesses. Since you're responsible for the safety of everyone who visits your business premises, you can hire us to enhance it through Covid-19 cleaning.

We train our employees to follow the appropriate cleaning and disinfecting protocols for coronavirus. We also prioritize disinfecting businesses whose owners believe that their work environment has been exposed to the virus.

Steps to Cleaning and Disinfecting Surfaces for Covid-19

Our trained employees understand that cleaning surfaces for Covid-19 requires plenty of attention and precision. Therefore, we don't use basic cleaning items to clean and disinfect the surfaces. Usually, the process requires significant planning. Once we have assessed and mapped the space, we use specialized equipment and products for Covid-19 disinfection.

We focus on thorough cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing all the surfaces in your workplace. First, we send our team of experts to assess your commercial property. Most importantly, we prioritize buildings that people suspect have been compromised. From here, we follow the established cleaning protocols so that your building is disinfected suitably.

Our specialized cleaning service involves cleaning surfaces such as computers, keyboards, touch screens, desks, door handles, hallways, seating areas, shopping carts, handrails, and other contaminated areas. Our skilled employees also make sure that they clean common areas in the office thoroughly. However, you need to know that our cleaning procedure depends on your type of business.

Normally, we use high-quality cleaning products. We only use those that have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because we understand that safety comes first, especially during a pandemic.

That means you can resume your day-to-day office work after the cleaning exercise because all our products are safe. We also prioritize our employees by making sure that they wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the cleaning and disinfection exercise.

You also don't have to worry about us leaving any waste behind. Our cleanings services also involve proper waste disposal, especially where bio-hazardous waste is involved. We aim to leave your commercial property sparkling clean and properly sanitized to minimize the spread of Covid-19.

So, if you reside in Northwest Long Beach and are in need of office cleaning services, we're only a call away. We offer a wide range of professional cleaning services, including janitorial work. Our team of experts is well versed in coronavirus cleaning, and they always follow the health measures put in place to minimize the spread of the virus in Southern California.

In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, stores saw devastating shortages of essential supplies, like hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and cleaning products. As the first cases emerged, many questions arose about the survival of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on surfaces. Thus, many people purchased dozens of cleaning products with the hope of eradicating the virus from groceries, packages and frequently touched surfaces in the home. In many cases, it is considered best practice to disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched, like doorknobs and cell phones, to mitigate the spread of disease within a community. Still, scientists worry—especially with the recent global spread of monkeypox virus and discussion of future pandemics—that the overuse of cleaning products will contribute to significant supply chain shortages, exposure to toxins and antimicrobial resistance.  Floors and walls are considered low-risk surfaces for exposure, while frequently touched surfaces (e.g., television remotes, door handles) are surface and agent dependent for exposure. 

As we continue the battle against COVID-19, it’s important to feel confident that the place where we gather is clean and safe. SERVPRO knows that we all have a new sense of what it means to be clean, and that’s why we have the Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program. When you see our CSC shield in the door of businesses in your community, you can be sure it’s a clean environment. This defensive and proactive pathogen cleaning program goes well beyond standard janitorial cleaning practices. With more than 50 years of experience in viral pathogen cleaning, you can trust us to bring a higher standard of clean to your local businesses.

When you see the Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned shield on the door or inside the businesses in your community, you can know that space has been cleaned to a higher standard, so you can feel safe to go there. This thorough deep COVID cleaning has 3 phases- we call them the “3 C’s”:

Consult

We customize a cleaning program based on the unique needs of each business.

Clean

In this step, our trained professionals will use EPA-approved hospital-grade cleaning solutions to clean a facility based on the particular needs of that business. We adhere to the cleaning and decontamination standards set by the CDC, cleaning all touchpoints and surrounding surfaces.

Certify

You’ll know a business is Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned by the shield posted on their front window. Our shield represents their commitment to the comfort and security of their employees, customers, and community.

Spring Cleaning All Year Round

8/4/2022 (Permalink)

For Office cleaning inquiries, call SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach Today! 562-506-4992

When spring cleaning comes to mind, we usually think it is in regards to our homes, but our office or job sites can benefit from a bit of extra attention as well. Our workplaces are our second homes because of the great amount of time we spend there each day. Our productivity and inspiration can be affected if clutter starts to visually collect around us and our allergies can act up right around springtime if dust has built up in keyboards, computers, windowsills, corners, behind furniture, and under rugs.

If you have time to set aside and allocate towards a deep cleaning endeavor, that’s wonderful but most of us have such a large workload that we can only chip away at tasks in short increments. A beneficial way to tackle these jobs is to set a 15-30 minute timer and do as much as you can during that time frame. By the end of the week, you will have completed quite a lot and will greatly benefit from your progress.

Disinfect - Since the beginning of the pandemic we all are more cognoscente of the importance of disinfecting high touch-point and common areas which is an excellent habit to maintain. Phones, keyboards, doorknobs, light switches, water cooler knobs, coffee machine buttons, etc. can all be quickly addressed with a disinfecting wipe.

Organize – A virtual cleanup of our desktop screen, organizing files, and email inbox will freshen up your visual clutter. A change of scenery by replacing your screen background is a great idea too. Dusting and then sprucing up your desk, cleaning drawers, and wiping chords and anything under the desk will help. Decluttering takes an objective eye but if you mentally prepare to toss, donate, or take home things it can make a huge difference. Minimizing personal items and things collected all year long will give you a clean slate. A clean space feels so good and the sooner you get started the more productive your workday can be.

Many times while going through the deeper cleaning process, you come across dead insects or piles of dust bunnies wrapped in hair. What a relief to get these things cleared out so you can breathe fresher air. If you discover some water staining on the ceiling, a leak under a sink, or any moldy patches, give our team a call. We can professionally evaluate the circumstance and make the needed recommendations to keep your surroundings optimal for the remaining portion of the work year. 

Mold in the Workplace

7/13/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach has the equipment to tackle mold, whether big or small area

Mold can grow virtually anywhere and generally is not a problem. However, issues arise when mold grows indoors.

Mold in the workplace can result in health problems and can cause significant damage to a workplace as well. As a significant location in your life, the workplace would highly benefit from mold testing.

Scientific research on the health effects of mold exposure is ongoing, but some facts are known. Mold exposure may cause allergic reactions; skin or mucosal infections; asthma attacks; and skin, eyes, nose and throat irritation, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration.

To help prevent mold growth in buildings, be on the lookout for water damage, leaks or excessive moisture, and be sure to clean up all spills immediately.

Prevention:

If you suspect mold in your workplace, ask yourself these questions:

  • Is there visible water damage anywhere?
  • Are there building materials around that have been wet for more than two days?
  • Does the building have pre-existing moisture issues?
  • Are workers complaining of musty or moldy smells?
  • Is anyone reporting health problems that could be associated with mold?

OSHA recommends a number of tips to help prevent mold in your workplace, including:

  • Repair any plumbing problems immediately.
  • Keep your building’s humidity level below 70 percent.
  • Regularly inspect your building’s HVAC system.
  • Ensure adequate drainage is around your building.
  • Keep vents for moisture-creating appliances on the outside of the building.

About Our Mold Remediation Services

SERVPRO of Northwest Long Beach specializes in mold cleanup and restoration, in fact, it’s a cornerstone of our business.  Our crews are highly trained restoration professionals that use specialized equipment and techniques to properly remediate your mold problem quickly and safely.

Key Factors of Commercial Restoration

7/11/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach doing commercial restoration at local union

Residential restoration and commercial restoration are very different types of projects. Residential is very emotional for the customer and family that resides in the home and also be very personal due to the contents within the home having very sentimental attachments. Commercial restoration can also be emotional for the clients but due to there being more stakeholders involved in the loss things can get much more complex. In commercial restoration we have business interruption, customer impact, and Inventory issues and contents maintenance. For the commercial restoration process to go smoothly, there are 4 key factors to consider: safety, stability, continuity and communication.

Factor 1: Safety

Safety is the paramount concern when it comes to commercial restoration projects because nothing is more important than the people. There are a variety of safety issues when on a commercial restoration project including mold exposure, hazardous materials, structural weaknesses and utility hazards including gas, electrical and construction. With all of these factors together, the risk is far too great for secondary damage or additional loss. Safety must not only be the first step in commercial restoration but must also be a key factor in every stage of the project.

Factor 2: Stability 

          Stabilizing the loss is the first priority so that we can limit any secondary damage to the building or property. This included stopping the source of the water intrusion, putting out the fire and tarping up the roof and areas of the house that are exposed to the elements. As soon as the disaster is contained the team can begin the process of pre-cleaning, water extraction, dehumidification, salvaging contents and setting up various levels of containment around the property area is all part of the emergency services phase.

Factor 3: Communication

          The most important thing on any job big or small is always going to be communication. As a restoration company your communication should be on point with all of the parties involved including the client, adjusters, clerks, agents and all other POI’s. Commercial restoration can be a very fluid and moving science with scope changes, directive changes and client requests so the restoration company must have good communication. The company must be able to make split second decisions and communicate that to their crew instantly with good follow up and leadership from the technicians. Solid communication will allow everyone to prepare, plan and adapt to the changing needs of a large project.

Factor 4: Business Continuity

          Businesses need assurance that they will be back up and running as a company very soon after suffering a loss. As a company SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach will do everything in their power to make sure that our commercial clients are back up and running their business in some capacity as soon as possible. Expediting the restoration and the reconstruction needs of a commercial client ensure that they can get back to normal operations sooner rather than later

Commercial Duct Cleaning Matters to your Customers the most!

7/11/2022 (Permalink)

Commercial Duct Cleaning Before & After

When it comes to Commercial Buildings there are a million different things that must be taken into account for the facility and the people inside of the facility. It can sometimes seem like duct cleaning an HVAC system that is not showing extensive and obvious problems can be a waste of time and money but nothing could be further from the truth. 

Why Do Air Ducts Need Cleaning? 

COVID-19 is absolutely transmitted through the air along with every other major virus, bacteria and contaminate. Inefficient air filtration and duct leaks can result in major intrusion of dust and other particles that that have the ability to accumulate to the point where they begin to break off and re-enter the circulated air. In the event that this occurs you will notice dust and particles enter the breathable air. 

High humidity throughout the space or major water leaks can also create an environment perfect for mold growth. Mold spores can be released through the duct system and travel throughout your entire body, this type of mold exposure can have a very negative impact on the elderly, the sick and also create upper respiratory infections. 

What Are The Benefits of Duct Cleaning

1.) Clean air ducts protect and ensure proper functionality of the whole commercial heating and cooling system in the facility. 

2.) Proper duct cleaning will remove excess build up of dust and air borne viruses, bacteria and particles that could cause respiratory infections and sickness in people within the facility. 

3.) HVAC efficiency is dependent on clean and unobstructed air ducts and proper airflow throughout the system. 

4.) The longevity of the HVAC system is dramatically increased when the system is properly cleaned and serviced on a regular basis. This longevity saves thousands of dollars for the business year in and year out.

Business Fire Prevention Tips

7/11/2022 (Permalink)

Don't let your business go up in flames, Call SERVPRO Northwest Long Beach Today!

Here are some tips you can use to help keep employees and co-workers safe by preventing a fire from breaking out at your place of business.

There are many threats to a business owners livelihood – some preventable and others not. While not every fire can be prevented, there are some steps you and your employees can take to reduce the risk of a fire starting in the workplace.

- For starters, never overload an electrical outlet or power strip.

- Another way to reduce the risk of a fire is to keep flammable material and chemicals away from electrical outlets, power strips, and areas that experience higher-than-normal levels of heat, such as an oven or water heater.

- Excess clutter can act as fuel for a fire and help it spread to other areas.

Always keep entry and exit points clear as well as electrical panels and avoid blocking off fire extinguisher, fire alarms and fire sprinklers.

Of course, no amount of preparation and care can prevent office fires 100% percent of the time. Because of this, we strongly urge you to develop a fire preparedness plan and rehearse it once a month with your employees. In addition, making sure everyone in the office knows how to use a fire extinguisher (and knows where they are located) is crucial in the event that a fire does occur.

The coronavirus pandemic has ushered in a new perspective as we all strive to get back to work, get back out, and get back to business. As we move toward this new normal, it’s hard to know just what your customers expect, and what you need to do as a business owner to make them feel comfortable about visiting your storefront again.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational and Safety Health Administration (OSHA) provides the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on workers and employers. Access content on risks and transmissibility, OSHA Standards, worker’s rights, and medical and preventative steps. Visit OSHA.gov/SLTC/covid-19.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently published Environmental Cleaning and Disinfection Recommendations for community facilities, but the information is relevant to all commercial cleaning operations. It covers cleaning and disinfecting protocols, recommended protective equipment and hygiene practices, and employer considerations. On Wednesday, April 1, the agency issued new guidance on the timing of disinfection after a suspected/confirmed COVID-19 case. 

While maybe not an obvious choice for cleaning information, the EPA does have good online resources on which disinfectants are most effective against SARS-CoV-2. As Brain Corp’s cleaning expert Chris Wright mentioned in his blog this week, “COVID-19 Best Practice Tips for Robotic Floor Care,” retailers and other businesses need to start adopting the same rigorous cleaning approaches as hospitals do. This includes adding a hospital-grade neutral disinfectant to robotic floor care units, instead of just water.

As we move further into July, many businesses are starting to reopen again and have begun welcoming staff and the public back. Things may be feeling like they’re somewhat going “back to normal,” but that does not mean the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The CDC is still urging both businesses and individuals to continue maintaining safety precautions in order to reduce risk and prevent a second wave of COVID-19 from spreading.

For some, it’s allowing employees to continue to work from home for the remainder of the year. For others, it’s implementing a phased approach of reintroducing both employees and customers to their business environment. For all, a plan that involves a high standard of cleanliness and sanitation is of the utmost importance. Transparency and clear communication of reopening plans, both internally and externally, is proving to be critical for success and support during these trying times.

Water damage in commercial building in Long Beach, California.
Your Commercial Insurance Coverage

Did you know that general commercial insurance policies do not typically cover the extensive damages a disaster can cause? There are many things that are usually not covered, such as damages from flooding and lost revenue due to damages, and even things that are in the policy are often not fully covered due to cost. It is smart to know exactly what your policy does and does not extend to so you can purchase necessary protections where appropriate.

Your Emergency Plan and Supply Kit

If a natural disaster is imminent, there may only be moments to react—but if you have a plan in place, you will know exactly what to do. Planning ahead can keep you and your staff much safer as everyone will be familiar with the steps to take. Be sure you know exactly how to evacuate, if that is appropriate for the situation, and also make a point to stock an office emergency supply kit in case you must await help at your business.

Your Plan for Restoration and Recovery

Knowing how you will tackle the restoration process in advance is the best way to reduce the time your business must remain closed following a disaster. Do not wait until a disaster has happened to research commercial restoration companies—instead, plan ahead so you can place the call right away. Also be sure to look into the disaster relief loans from the Small Business Administration, which provide financial assistance for your recovery.

If your business has been impacted by a disaster, you can contact us 247 for guidance on how to begin the commercial restoration process.

Mold in Power Plant

11/19/2019 (Permalink)

After heavy rain in Long Beach California we received a phone call from new constructed Power Plant to inspect their facility to make sure heavy rain did not cause any mold problem. The test result came back positive and the engineering department wanted to have a meeting with us to find out how to move forward to abate mold. This power plant was under construction and created its own challenges, we were told we must work alongside of the other construction crew and make sure their work does not get interrupted. Our crew chief had meetings with different department and came out with a game plan to ensure all work was done on a timely manner. Mold remediation took about 7 days we finished the job 24 hours ahead of the schedule. After clearance test result plant supervisor inspected our job and assigned another power plant nearby with similar problem to our company.

We have received a phone call from Powerplant in Long Beach California regarding mold concern in one of the new constructed Building. Our field inspector at SERVPRO of Northwest Long Beach did visual inspection, we recommended for mold test to be performed and how to proceed with appropriate protocols. The test result came back positive. After having a meeting with project manager and hearing their concerns and their safety protocols the scheduling process started.

One of the challenges we faced our crew had to work along side of the powerplant crew and to make sure their job did not get interrupted. Also, during our mold remediation fire department must come and check all the pipes that they were in the negative air chambers to make sure they are all in working condition. Our mold remediation took 7 days and got signed off by safety inspector of the powerplant. A letter of recommendation was given to the powerplant supervisor regarding our performance and as result we got two more contracts.

After having a meeting with the plant manger and hearing their concerns regarding their safety protocols and to make sure we do not interrupt their work we provided our estimate and stared our mold remediation soon after.

After talking to project manager and their safety department we started the project. We had to build 7 air chambers and to make sure that there would be no work interruption while our crew was working in the facility. Very first day our crew had to go through some safety training.

 This project was challenging due to some pipes and equipment were on our way to build our chambers, plus fire department has to come and check on some of the equipment’s. Coordination with other departments was important to make sure the job gets done on a timely manner without interruption. Our crew managed to finish the first phase in 3 days so the fire department can run their test by the due date. The second phase started as soon as we got the mold clearance test form phase one.
