About Commercial A.C. Units.

9/28/2022 (Permalink)

It’s important to for business owners to think about the comfort of their customers. An air conditioning (A.C.) system is a key element in creating a comfortable environment for employees plus customers.  As a business owner, it is important to maintain your A.C. unit to prevent damages to your business. Over time, A.C. systems can degrade potentially causing water damage to a ceiling or surrounding areas.  To prevent this from happening use these tips:

• Condensation drain lines are a common area for water leaks on an ac unit.  Ensure lines are properly insulated and that no excess water is leaking due to condensation.  Call a professional if you notice excess water in the area around your condenser pipe.   
• Damage or rusted drain pan is a common issue with older air conditioning units.   Inspect your drain pan for any signs of corrosion or rust.
• Air filters.  Clogged air filters block the airflow to the evaporator coil which then gets too cold.  As the A.C. is not being used, the coil begins to defrost which can cause excessive water to be deposited in the drain pan which can potentially cause drain pan overflow.  In this case, filters should be replaced immediately.

If your business or commercial building has water damage from the air conditioning system, give the professionals at SERVPRO of Sugar Land a call today!  Our highly trained franchise professionals to make it look “Like it never even happened.”

Commercial Maintenance Check Up

1/4/2021 (Permalink)

No matter how big or small the damage is, SERVPRO of Sugar Land is always here to help!

It is very important to keep up with your commercial maintenance needs because this can prevent crucial damages to your property. Taking a look at the hot water heater to see when the last time it was replaced or checking the condensation lines coming from your air conditioning unit is a quick and easy preventative measure. These are just some of the things you can check to prevent damages to your business.

Most water damages come from a preventable source such as the hot water heater, air conditioning condensation line, or sometimes even from a leaking faucet in the break room. With hot water heaters, you should replace them every 8–10 years. A replacement will vary with the severity of your local weather, the design of the unit, the quality of installation, and the maintenance your unit has received. With an air conditioner condensation line we would recommend cleaning it once a year to maintain a blockage free line.

Performing these two quick and easy checks can go a long way in preventing any potential issues.   If you have any questions about mold remediation, feel free to contact SERVPRO of Sugar Land at (281) 313-1338.

11/2/2020 (Permalink)

Whenever disaster strikes, SERVPRO of Sugar Land is here to help!

No matter how big or small a fire is, a workplace fire could be catastrophic for your business. Fire drills are an important part of working in a commercial building as they can keep people safe in case of an emergency.  However, they are often ignored.  To prevent any employees from getting injured or fatalities, it’s important to be prepared.  Here are a few fire drill tips for the workplace to take seriously and limit confusion in case of a fire emergency.

1. Prepare an evacuation plan

It is important to come up with a plan.  By creating a plan, it is important to be as detailed as possible to create little to no confusion.  Outline exit routes in the building and make a clear outline of actions that employees will need to take to get to the escape destination.  Ensure the plan includes the phone number for commercial building restoration services as well.

2. Train and communicate with your employees

Once the plan has been created, introduce the fire drill to the staff.  Help the team understand the importance of the fire drill and ensure to follow the foolproof plan.   Before the first fire drill communicate with the staff in advance.  This will prepare them to act in accordance with the set procedure. 

3. Practice

By running drills, you can feel prepared in case of an actual fire.  During these practices, runs be sure to set some goals.  A goal should be set to identify how well the evacuation plan works.  After the drill in complete assess the metrics to help improve the performance the next time a fire drill is conducted. 

4. Follow up

Once a run-through of the drill has taken place, be sure to follow up on any corrections.  Revisit the plan and make any adjustments needed. 

Remember, fire drills are here to help ensure everyone's safety in case of a fire emergency.  By conducting the process regularly, you can improve your response to a catastrophic situation.  SERVPRO of Sugar Land is dedicated to helping our community, we are always here to help!

HVAC Commercial Fire

3/5/2019 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO of Sugar Land, safety is important to us when dealing with a fire emergency.  After a fire emergency, our team is dedicated to responding immediately to business after a fire to help prevent any secondary damage.  Following a fire, our crew takes close attention to the HVAC system and ductwork.     HVAC fire hazards are present at any time of the year. Fortunately, many of these risks are preventable.

The Top HVAC Fire Hazards:

• Old, corroded, or broken parts: This problem often stems from an HVAC unit that is not regularly serviced. Problems with essential parts can lead to decreased efficiency and can potentially lead to potential fire hazards.
• Items are stored too close to the HVAC unit: The HVAC unit itself produces a considerable amount of heat. Storing combustible items such as boxes, paper, motor oil, and chemicals too close to the unit creates a high-risk environment for a fire.
• Problems with connections or gas pressure: Problems with connections in a gas furnace can lead to toxic gas being released into the home, leading to both health and fire hazards.
• Electrical problems: Whether the unit has a loose cord connection, a frayed cord, an old cord that overheats, or another issue, electrical problems with HVAC units can easily spark furnace fires.
• Leaking fuel line: This can be a harder problem to spot since many fuel lines are located inside or behind the unit. Yearly inspections can help catch old, at-risk fuel lines before they start leaking and posing a major fire hazard.
• Improper installation: When an HVAC unit is installed improperly, it can lead to many problems such as reduced air flow and efficiently, and increased costs. Improper installation can also cause serious problems such as carbon monoxide poisoning and fire hazards.

SERVPRO of Sugar Land is always here to help 24/7.  Our team understands the stress and worry that comes with a fire or water damage and the disruption it causes your life and home or business.

Small Water Damages Become Nightmare for Business

3/26/2018 (Permalink)

What happens when those small water damages go unnoticed, or moisture soaks into a building’s structural components where it cannot be detected by the naked eye?  These incidents may sound relatively harmless, but given time, excess moisture can lead to serious problems. 

In as little as 24 to 48 hours, microscopic mold spores, naturally present in all structures, can grow into visible mold.  Fueled by the moisture, these fungi feed on a variety of building subcomponents including wood, point, paper, carpet padding and contents. 

While the debate rages on regarding impact mold has on human health, mold and mildew growth are recognized as major contributors to indoor air quality problems.  These nightmares happen every day as a direct result of those small water damages that gradually take their toll on buildings and homes.  The recipe for disaster is the combination of excess moisture, a food source for mold found in organic building materials (such as wood, drywall, some types of insulation), and a time delay in removing the moisture.

The winter months may call for some businesses to take some standard precautionary measures to help protect their company.  These measures include basic maintenance checks and preparation to help ensure your business and employees remain safe.  A few tips include:

• Check your business property for down tree limbs and branches.  Weather, such as wind, heavy rain, ice and snow can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries
• Ensure gutters are clean and secure.  Leaves or debris accumulates causing a damming effect on gutters, which could lead to roof problems and water damage 
• Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential
• Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potential slippery or hazardous areas.  Install mats on non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water could be present
