More FAQs- What causes mould?
- How do you ensure that all affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected?
- Do I need to move my business out of my commercial property during the fire restoration process?
Excess moisture caused by leaks or flooding in your commercial property — especially in typically damp environments like the kitchen and bathrooms — creates the perfect breeding ground for mould or mildew. To control and reduce the risk for mould growth in these areas, you must properly maintain your plumbing system and monitor any appliances in your facility that use large quantities of water, such as dish washers. Small amounts of indoor mould are unavoidable and usually harmless. In damp environments, however, mould spores can more easily reproduce and cause more serious and difficult to remove mould problems.
At ServiceMaster Restore, we understand the importance of proper cleanup and disinfection when it comes to biohazardous materials and pathogens. That is why our highly trained technicians use industry expertise, specialized products and equipment to properly remove biological waste. We take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of infectious contamination, including isolating the affected area, removing unsalvageable items, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting every surface. Our team follows strict protocols and uses Health Canada approved disinfectants to ensure that all affected areas are completely sanitized. You can trust us to leave your commercial business safe and free from any potential health hazards.
Depending on the extent of damage from the fire, this is ultimately your decision. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption to your business as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process. If vacating your premises during the process, consider informing all customers and associates; forwarding your mail to your temporary location; stopping or redirecting pickups and deliveries; and notifying all utility companies, of the temporary suspension of services to your usual business location during the restoration process.
