Common Causes of Water Damage in Commercial Building | SERVPRO of Billings

3/5/2024 (Permalink)

Mold Growth on the wall in the corner Experienced water damage in your commercial building? SERVPRO of Billings can help you get dried out quickly.

Water is one of the most common culprits when buildings are damaged, and even something as simple as a leaky toilet can leave behind an incredible amount of destruction.

When you own or operate a commercial building, catching every little drip or plumbing concern can be tricky. That’s why the more you learn about the most common causes of water damage, the more proactive you can be at preventing a total disaster.

3 Common Sources

There is no such thing as a good business interruption. Having to shut your doors because of a water disaster can not only cost you the loss of operating hours, but may also lead to thousands of dollars in needed repairs.

Make a habit of regularly checking these locations or having your maintenance crew do so in order to stop minor issues before they leave behind extensive damages:

  1. The roof. Roof leaks can happen all the sudden after a major storm, or could be the result of a slow leak. This kind of water damage can make its way from the top of your building to the bottom if left unchecked. Keep your gutters cleared and have your roof checked for missing shingles and other damage after every major wind or ice event.
  2. Bathrooms. Toilets and sink pipes can leak from a hole the size of a pinhead and account for nearly 15% of water loss in commercial buildings. If you have a large building, assign multiple staff members the task of checking pipes once a month or more to stop leaks before they become severe.
  3. Water heaters/HVAC/boilers. Any appliance that has a water line has the potential to leak, often as a result of clogged drains or loose pipe connections. Watch for puddles near your heating and cooling units, and keep an eye on your building’s water pressure. These are all indicators of a problem that can be stopped before your building is damaged.

Take Preventive Steps

Aside from a natural disaster that causes floodwaters to rush in, most water damage can be prevented when it is handled quickly. When you take the time to prepare, you can cut your losses dramatically.

Creating a maintenance plan is a great first step in ensuring your building avoids damage from plumbing or other pipes. Working with SERVPRO to create an Emergency Ready Plan for your business can help take the guesswork out of what to do when a water disaster strikes.

From there, you can also take other actions. Check fixtures and seals often, and train several people that access your building on how to shut off water in the event of an emergency.

Timing will always matter when it comes to controlling water damages. Respond to the immediate situation as quickly as possible, and then call us at SERVPRO of Billings. We can take your call day or night and start your restoration project right away so you can keep your business going.

Protect Your Home From Water Damage | SERVPRO® of Billings

rain and water dripping off roof Have water damage in your home? Contact us for fast, professional restoration back to preloss condition.

A new year brings new possibilities, and the opportunity for handling projects that can protect your home from potential damages. This year, make preventing water damage to your house a priority by adding easy steps to your regular routines. When you do, you could save yourself from costly damages later.

Water is one of the most common ways homes are damaged, and a tiny, pin-sized hole can wreak complete havoc. Make this year’s resolution to protect your home with simple changes you can really stick to.

What Causes Water Damage?

In order to prevent damages, you need to understand the most common places water leaks happen. Leaks can begin inside or outside your home.

From the outside, your gutters and landscaping are two common ways water does damage, while on the inside of your home, large appliances and bathroom fixtures are often to blame.

Caulking around windows and doors that has broken down can also lead to moisture issues in the home. If leaks aren’t discovered quickly, you could end up with mold or rotted floors.

When an appliance with a water supply like a refrigerator springs a leak, it could stop working or begin to rust. Catching an issue at its source early means you can mitigate damages and prevent financial losses.

How to Prevent Damage

A little bit of water can do a lot of destruction, but there are several ways you can avoid disasters. Finding leaks or other sources of moisture early is always the best way to prevent a total loss, and when you are active in prevention catching an issue will be simple.

To find water in all the wrong places, make checking bathrooms and kitchen for wet spots or signs of mold a regular part of your weekly routine. The next time rain blows through, run your fingers around windows and doors to check for moisture. Confuse your family by sniffing your house to check for a musty smell.

Take a look at your roof once a month and after major wind events to check for loose or missing shingles. Clean your gutters often to allow water to flow away from your home. This step is particularly crucial before winter storms set in to avoid potential ice dams from forming.

Due to the heavy snowfalls we often experience in the winter months, you should also keep a close eye on your roof and attic to ensure there is no structural damage from the weight load. While most homes in our area have guidelines that must be met, if your home is older, you might consider a roof replacement when the weather warms up.

Check your yard regularly to ensure you have proper grading so that water rolls away from your home. Use soil to increase sloping as needed. Add these easy steps into your routines to save yourself from costly repairs later on, and pat yourself on the back for finally making a resolution you really keep!

SERVPRO Is Ready to Handle Odor Removal | SERVPRO® of Billings

2/6/2024 (Permalink)

a SERVPRO crew setting up machines to clean a kitchen If you experience an odor or any other damage inside your home, call SERVPRO of Billings day or night.

Along with the restoration services that our network of experts all across the nation offers, SERVPRO can also handle professional cleaning needs in homes and businesses that have mold issues or damages from floods, fires or other disasters. While no two recovery processes will be the same, almost all of them will require some kind of odor removal, another thing SERVPRO is well-equipped to deal with.

Disasters are a worst-case scenario for all of us, and the recovery process can be stress-filled and complicated. In the midst of rebuilding your life, having to remove odors might not even make your restoration list.

Any time damage is done from water, a storm, fire or mold, there will be odors left behind that without proper and prompt remediation could linger for years. Even a home that looks very well-cared for could be harboring bad smells in hidden places.

If your nose turns every time you walk in a room and you just don’t know why, we are ready to help.

Odor Removal Techniques

Odors are caused by chemicals, gasses or other tiny particles that float through the air. Once the initial source of the smell is removed, a variety of products and the science of deodorization will be employed to get rid of the odor altogether.

The products used in this process might include:

Masking agents. These are products that are designed to cover the smell for a short amount of time in order to make the environment easier to work in. These don’t remove odors, but they do allow our experts to work through their plan to kick the smell out completely.

Filtration agents. Compounds with absorbing qualities work primarily on soft materials like furniture but sucking the smell out. These agents capture odors in the air and force them through filtration in order to create cleaner particles.

Disinfectants and sanitizers. These substances are used to kill bacteria and fungi growth that are common sources of odors after a disaster.

These are certainly not the only techniques our experts have in their tool belts, but they are common products that are used almost every time odor removal is necessary.

The Signature 4-Step Process

In order to work through the process of removing odors in your home or business, we follow four key steps:

  1. Get rid of the source. Until the source of the odor has been located and removed, the smell will continue to spread. That is why this is always the first step in the process of kicking odors out of your space.
  2. Clean residue. Once the source of the smell has been removed, any surface that was affected needs to be well-cleaned and deodorized in order to get rid of remaining residue. If surfaces are not properly cleaned, odor particles will continue to plague the air.
  3. Recreate the conditions. Certainly this does not mean flooding your space; rather, it means employing deodorizer in the same way the odor was originally caused in order to penetrate all the same surfaces. As an example, odors lingering after smoke damage require “deodorizing smoke” for the best possible outcome.
  4. Seal surfaces. After a major disaster, there may be items in your home that cannot be removed and will instead require sealing. This blocks odor-causing substances inside, keeping them out of the air. This process is used when other methods would be too costly or impractical to use.

As with all other restoration processes, timing matters when it comes to odor removal. If your home experiences a significant emergency, we are available to respond fast and put the process in place to lessen extensive damages. SERVPRO of Billings is located just around the corner, so add us to your contact list today.

If you experience an odor or other damage inside your home or business, call us at any time, 247. We have the training and equipment to quickly get your property back in operation.

Winter Heating Safety | SERVPRO® of Billings

1/23/2024 (Permalink)

space heater plugged in a room and turned on Call SERVPRO of Billings if you experience any smoke, soot or fire damage.

While the official start of the winter season passed by in late December, we have been feeling the chill for some time now. Even with a few warmups in between our snow storms, there is a good chance you have had your heat on since October.

In our cold climate heating systems get a lot of work, but without proper preparations, they could create a fire hazard for your home.

With winter here lasting well into April, you deserve to stay warm and cozy for the long run. Take care of your heating equipment and prevent risks all season long.

Furnace Basics

Most of our homes likely have a furnace and HVAC system that is responsible for heating your space. Furnaces, like all other kinds of systems, require regular maintenance to function their best and last for their full lifespan. Hopefully you have already given your system a solid checkup this year, but if you have not, take a warm day to make sure it is clean and free of dust.

The air filter in your system is an important part of ensuring things are running correctly and keeping the air in your home cleaner, so change it regularly. A good standard is every 90 days, but if you have pets, you may want to change it more often. The start of a new season is a great reminder to perform this part of maintaining your system.

Fireplace Safety

Fireplaces can set the mood of a whole room and are often a focal point in homes. Wood, gas and electric fireplaces are all allowed in our area, with electric fireplaces becoming increasingly more popular. Some homes in our area may also have a wood-burning stove, as these were popular ways to add additional heat to spaces during our long winters.

No matter what kind of fireplace you have in your home, maintaining it is crucial to avoid fires. Most homes with a chimney should be inspected and cleaned every season.

If you have a wood-burning fireplace or stove, the chimney or pipes will need to be cleared of blockages and have soot and smoke stains removed. Fireplaces that have been converted to gas or electric should still be inspected to ensure there is nothing in the chimney that could spark a fire. Whatever you use to close off the front of your fireplace should be cleaned and dusted often, as should any removable logs.

Portable Heaters

Since we often deal with frigid temperatures, it is pretty common to add a few space heaters to our heating arsenal. These electric heaters are a great way to warm up a room quickly; however, they are also one of the leading causes of home fires when used improperly.

Run your space heater in an open space away from any materials. Turn it off at bedtime or any time you leave the house. Always plug space heaters directly into wall sockets that are designed to carry their electrical load and skip extension cords.

Put your space heater on a flat, solid surface where it isn’t likely to be knocked over. Modern space heaters have an automatic shut-off feature that kicks in when they are moved, so if yours does not, consider upgrading to a new one.

Make sure young ones in your home understand how to stay safe around all of your heating equipment, and install proper childproofing. A single accident is all it takes to create complete chaos in your home. Stay safe and pile on the blankets knowing your home is fire-ready.

If you experience fire damage this season, give us a call at SERVPRO of Billings for immediate assistance. We’re here 247 when you need us!

How Water Can Seep Inside | SERVPRO® of Billings

1/9/2024 (Permalink)

ceiling water leak water damage If you experience any water damage inside your home or business, reach out to SERVPRO of Billings.

You may not notice it, but there could be water seeping into your home. If you have noticed a musty smell, stains on your wall or warped spots in the walls, you could have a leak that when left unattended could cause damage to your home’s foundation.

Extra moisture could also lead to rusty appliances. There are many different things that could indicate a moisture issue in your home, but the most obvious sign will be a puddle of water in the floor.

Any water intrusion can lead to extensive damages. Know what to look for and how to stop it in order to best protect your home.

Water Fixture Leaks

Sinks are a common source of water leaks. A hole or line of deteriorated caulk can lead to seepage and water spots near showers, toilets and bathtubs as well.

Make it a point to check around these areas during regular cleaning, and stop small leaks quickly before they can cause extreme damages. It only takes a tiny leak to waste thousands of gallons of water each year.

Water From Appliances

Large appliances are often sources of unknown leaks. A refrigerator that has a water line or an ice maker and a dishwasher are both at high risk for leaks that can cause serious damage to your floors and lead to a costly and extensive repair.

In order to check for leaks, unplug the appliance and move it away from the wall. Look for standing water and mold spots. If there is any sign of moisture, call us right away to correct the issue quickly and completely.

External Sources

Not all water damage will start inside the home. Weather related leaks can either cause slow moisture buildup or a flood that happens all at once.

Heavy rain and the Yellowstone River create a consistent threat for us throughout the year for flooding.

In the winter, we also contend with heavy snowfall and ice dams that create flooding when it melts. Wildfires that leave natural resources scorched create another hazard when the ground is unable to handle a drenching rain.

You can manage these outside water sources in order to protect your home. Prepare before a flood happens, and maintain those preparations year-round and you can rest assured your property will be safe.

The first step in preparing your home is taking care of your gutter, downspouts and roof. Overfilled gutters can lead to water spillage that may run through your ceilings, walls and into the foundation. Clear out leaves and debris regularly to keep water flowing exactly where it should be.

Check the seals around windows, doors and any other entry points as well. A loose or decayed seal allows water and moisture indoors that could lead to mold growth and damages.

The landscaping in your yard plays a big role in protecting your home as well. Create slopes away from your property to keep water flowing downhill and out of your basement. When you are prepared, you can rest easy knowing you are safe.

If you experience water damage inside your home or business, call us, 247. We have the experience and equipment to get your property back in working order fast.

Christmas Tree, Fire Place Have smoke or fire damage in your house? Contact us today to get cleaned up fast.

A chill in the air, the soft glow of lights, sweet smells of yummy favorites—what a beautiful picture! This time of year in Billings brings concerts, family nights and festivals

The holiday season is certainly a magical one, but it also brings an increased risk of home fires with it.

This season, you can decorate carefully to protect your home and your loved ones. When your home is safe, you can relax and enjoy the magic of the season without the worry of a disaster.

Top Seasonal Hazards

Fire departments respond to an average of 790 fires that start in a structure due to some kind of decorations.

Often to blame are decorations that are placed too close to a heating source like a space heater or fireplace. Candles and Christmas trees, both real and fake, are also common causes of house fires that can leave your home in complete disarray.

If you decorate with a live tree, be sure to water it often and to clean up loose needles. If an artificial tree is your preference, ensure you own or buy one with a fire-resistant tag. Limit the amount of items you are plugging into your outlets, and turn your decorations off at night and when you leave the house.

Take Preventive Measures

We all know that line from the holiday classic, “The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.” This should be your motto when you decorate: Take care to avoid creating a fire hazard by never placing any decorations near an open flame.

On an average day, candles are responsible for 20 house fires, so enjoy those warm winter scents a reasonable distance away from all other materials. If your home has a fireplace, have it inspected once a year and swept of buildup.

Anything placed outdoors should have the proper rating to handle the weather. Lights outdoors should be hung securely to avoid brush fires using outdoor nails. If your neighborhood has guidelines for outdoor decorations, be sure to keep those in mind while you get festive.

Take the time to check your smoke detectors and ensure there are working ones on each level of your home and near every sleeping space. Practice your fire emergency plan with your family, and add SERVPRO to your phone contact list so you can start restoration right away if your home is damaged during a fire.

Water Damage Can Hold Your Business Back | SERVPRO®

Floor Corner Water Damage SERVPRO of Billings is your local commercial restoration company. We will always be here to help clean up and get you back in business.

A water intrusion in your commercial building can be devastating for business.

Flooding can start inside due to a plumbing issue or a leaky roof that results in lost inventory, closed-off floors or even the need to shut down for a while.

Natural causes of flooding are also a huge area of concern, too. Yellowstone River is a consistent source of flooding, just as the rainy season and snowmelt season are.

With so many risk factors for our area, it is essential to know what to do before flooding happens so that you can prevent and protect your business as much as possible. The more you are able to do before a disaster, the faster and safer you will bounce back afterwards.

<h2your-building-s-layout">Know Your Building’s Layout

One of the first steps you should take to prevent extensive damages to your property is learning the layout of your building. Find the shutoffs for the sprinkler system and the main water line so that you can turn water off quickly in the event of a failure or a leak.

Educate your staff or the businesses that rent your space with this information and make sure there are designated people in your emergency plan to handle shutting water off as needed.

<h2the-types-of-water-involved">Know the Types of Water Involved

If you do experience a flood or leak, understanding the kind of water you are dealing with is crucial in keeping everyone in your building safe.

White water. This is a common kind of water intrusion and typically originates from plumbing. This water is not considered contaminated and can be handled on your own when it is in small amounts.

Gray water. Gray water comes from sinks or toilets when they overflow. While this water is considered contaminated, it is not dangerous.

Black water. Flooding from storms or a sewage backup are considered black water, a form of flooding that is toxic and requires a professional cleanup response.

<h2action-quickly">Take Action Quickly

Timing will always matter when it comes to water damage, so the sooner you can locate the source of water and shut it down, the better.

Once you have the initial water flow stopped, open windows and doors to get as much air flowing as possible. Let everyone in the building know to avoid the area.

Take pictures and note damaged areas as much as you are able to ease your insurance claim process. This documentation can also serve as indicators for where your building may need to be shored up during the restoration process.

<h2to-be-patient">Remember to Be Patient

Water damage is harder to see than you may think. Once the initial area is dry, there may be hidden damages such as wet wall studs, moldy framing and buckled floors. Keep an eye out for these signs of deep damages so you can address any issues quickly.

After water does intrude, call SERVPRO of Billings as quickly as possible. We will create a plan and walk with you through the entire process of drying out and restoring your business.

Sanitation and drying can take up to a week or more depending on the severity of the flooding, so stay patient throughout the process.

Our team has the experience, training and equipment to get your business up and running as fast as possible. We will have you back to normal before you could even imagine.

When disaster strikes your commercial property, we’ll be there to help clean up and get you back in business quickly. Reach out 247 to get started!

Types of Storm Damage | SERVPRO® of Billings

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

lightning night storm When you suffer storm-related damage to your home or business, make SERVPRO of Billings your first call.

When you own a home, you likely always feel a twinge of fear when severe weather is rolling through. While homes are typically built to withstand a good deal, when a crazy storm hits, any property could suffer damages.

Strong winds that can carry debris across entire communities, winter storms, freezing rains and even just a mild thunderstorm are all a threat to your property throughout the year. These events can sometimes be so strong the very structure of your home is affected.

Each weather system presents a different level of risk to your home, but there are other factors to consider as well. The geographic location of your property, your landscaping and the strength of the building materials are all indicators of how much damage you may or may not receive. Even with every consideration, sometimes weather has a mind of its own and how you fare in a storm simply comes down to luck.

While we have just about every variety of weather here in Billings, we commonly see thunderstorms that can drop large hail in the summer and intense snowstorms in the winter. This past July, several counties endured a storm that came with baseball-sized hail and left a wake of damages. Preparing our homes and our lives for these weather extremes is incredibly important.

If your home is damaged in a storm, make sure you seek a professional opinion when you decide to stay or go. While most storm damage is pretty obvious, sometimes the structure of your home could be unstable with little outward evidence.

Preparing for the most common kinds of storm damage will always be the best way to mitigate your risks and ensure your safety. “The more you know,” right?

Wind

Wind damage can happen quickly, particularly when violent sustained winds batter an object at a high velocity. Tornadoes and hurricanes will always come with extreme winds, but even a mild thunderstorm can produce gusts of up to 100 mph and induce damage.

Winds at this strength can fling debris into your home or vehicles and topple trees. If you are sheltering in place during a storm, make sure you are in an interior room away from exterior walls and windows. When limbs and rocks are picked up, they can pierce walls and break glass, so stay inside and stay safe.

You can take preventive action and avoid some damages caused by strong winds. Pick up and dispose of loose limbs on a regular basis, and make sure large rocks are far away from your home.

If you have furniture outside, find some way to secure it so that it can’t go flying. Trim trees and remove any that are dying before they can fall over. The less loose items a storm can pick up, the less damage you will receive.

Water

Water is one of the most common forms of damage that occurs across the United States. Even in an area that is not flood-prone, a heavy rain can cause accumulating puddles or flash floods that can enter through doors and windows.

If an extreme amount of water gathers, it can actually seep through your foundation, which over time will lead to structural damage. As our weather warms up late in spring, snowmelt can lead to ice dams and overflowing bodies of water that pose a risk to the properties in our area.

Fortunately, the area outside of your home can play a key role in protecting your property. Be strategic with your landscaping to ensure there is a slope away from your house so water flows where you want it.

You can also consider installing a rain garden that not only will add curb appeal to your home, but is also very effective in absorbing moisture before it has a chance to intrude into your property.

Keeping your gutters cleaned is another way to ensure that water flows away from your home without pooling up. When water is unable to flow cleanly, your gutter system can quickly become overwhelmed, which can lead to water entering your home through your roof. This can mean damage to every level of your home.

Impact

When a tree falls onto your home or other property or a piece of debris flies into something, it is considered “impact damage.” This kind of damage can bring down entire buildings and can be completely catastrophic.

The best way to prevent impact damage is trimming and removing trees that are no longer healthy or that have grown too close to your home. While this can be costly and time-consuming, it can also be life-saving.

In 2021 alone, weather caused nearly $145 billion in damages across the nation. The more you prepare yourself and your property, the more you can lower your overall risk and rest easy knowing your home is a safe environment no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.

If your home is damaged in a storm, call SERVPRO of Billings as soon as possible. Our professionals are available 24⁄7 and come with years of experience and top-of-the-line equipment. It is our primary goal to get your home back to exactly as it should be as fast as possible.
