Did you know that SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is capable of any size HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) cleaning? HVAC cleaning is the process of cleaning the components of an HVAC system to improve its efficiency and indoor air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, debris, and other contaminants can accumulate in your Wilkshire Hills HVAC system, reducing its performance and potentially affecting the health of occupants.

The process of HVAC cleaning typically involves the following steps:

Inspection: A trained professional inspects the HVAC system in your Dundee commercial building to identify any potential problems or areas of concern.

Preparation: The HVAC system is turned off and sealed to prevent dust and debris from spreading throughout your Gilmore commercial building during the cleaning process.

Cleaning: The HVAC system's components, including the air ducts, coils, filters, and other parts, are cleaned using specialized equipment and techniques. This may include brushing, vacuuming, and air pressure cleaning.

Disinfection: After cleaning, the HVAC system is treated with a disinfectant to eliminate any remaining bacteria, mold, or other microorganisms.

Inspection and Testing: The HVAC system is inspected again to ensure that all components are clean and functioning properly. Air quality testing may also be performed to verify that the indoor air quality has improved after cleaning.

Regular HVAC cleaning can improve the efficiency of the system, reduce energy costs, and improve indoor air quality, which can lead to a healthier environment for occupants. It is recommended to have HVAC systems cleaned every 3-5 years or more frequently if there are occupants with respiratory conditions or allergies.

Spring is on its way, and you know what that means, spring cleaning for your Midvale, Malvern, Winfield, and surrounding areas commercial property! Spring cleaning can seem like a real chore, but only when you do not have a plan. It will help you to keep things in order when you know what to clean, when to clean it, and how to clean it. The first step is to take inventory on things that have not been cleaned in a while. It is time to clean the objects you can’t remember the last cleaning!

What and When to Clean 

A thorough cleaning often includes windows, stairwells, high atriums, or other areas not reachable from the floor. Always try to use pole-mounted brushes, squeegees, or other aids to minimize the need to climb. If climbing is necessary, be sure to utilize only step stools with a sturdy hand hold to help maintain balance. Falls from ladders are a leading cause of injury in both the home and workplace, so minimizing all climbing should be a top priority. Make sure you have all the cleaning chemicals you need, don't forget to deep clean floors! Lastly, make a cleaning checklist for the year so you can make sure you keep up with everything.

Good security is what will keep you from burglaries in your Strasburg, Malvern, Pekin, and surrounding areas business. If you do have a burglary, security also helps you find the culprit. Having good security can give you greater peace of mind when you are away from the business.

How to Secure Your Building

?     Properly Secure Doors and Entry Points - High-quality locks are advantageous for businesses because it’s a relatively low-cost security measure. All doors and points of entry should be locked, even during regular business hours, when they’re not being used. Windows are no exception. They should be secured from the inside when the office is closed or when a space is not being used. If it’s possible, have deadbolts installed on all the doors accessing the building. If deadbolt locks are already in place, make sure that they all function normally.

?     Install Security Cameras - Adding security cameras will allow you, as the business owner, to see who is accessing the building.

?      Provide Ample Lighting - Exterior lighting works as an effective crime deterrent. A well-lit property around the building and parking lot also goes a long way in making your employees feel safe during the dark evening hours.

What to Do When a Fire Occurs in Your Malvern Home

2/17/2023 (Permalink)

house on fire Aside from the damage of a fire in your Strasburg, Malvern, Winfield and surrounding areas home, what should you do in the event of a fire?

Fire damage can occur to a structure, vehicle, or other property. The extent of the damage depends on the intensity and duration of the fire, as well as what materials were involved. Common types of fire damage include charring and burning of walls and ceilings, smoke staining, warped wood floors and furniture, broken windows and doors, damaged electrical systems and melted appliances. Fire restoration often involves repairs to structural components such as replacing drywall or roofing material; cleaning smoke residue from surfaces; restoring water-damaged items; repairing electrical wiring; replacing carpets or flooring; repainting rooms; deodorizing affected areas; removing debris from burned items. Aside from the damage of a fire in your Strasburg, Malvern, Winfield and surrounding areas home, what should you do in the event of a fire? Here are some basic safety tips:

  • Evacuate the building immediately and call 911.
  • Close all doors behind you as you leave to help contain the fire.
  • Do not open any closed doors, as this could cause a backdraft of oxygen to fuel the flames further.
  • Stay low to avoid smoke inhalation; crawl if necessary or use a wet cloth over your nose and mouth for protection from smoke particles in the air.
  • Once safely outside, move away from the building at least 100 feet so that emergency personnel have access to it and can begin their work quickly when they arrive on scene.
  • If possible, turn off electricity leading into the structure by flipping circuit breakers.
