Businesses make up the backbone of our country, our town and our livelihood. Whether you work for one, own one or have a favorite Gillette, Sheridan business, their existence is important to our daily lives.

 If you are a business owner, you know that operating the day-to-day and solving problems comes with the territory of being your own boss. However, that also means you have to be the one that handles things when disaster strikes from either water or storm damage.

 When talking about the sheer cost of damages, it has become much more expensive to recover from damages over the last five years. On average in that time period, disasters cost the United States $158 billion annually, which is a significant increase in cost compared to previous years.

 In Gillette, Sheridan, we witness severe storms, tornadoes and floods on a regular basis. This past fall, we suffered through a large storm system that brought hail damage to a local campground. While the recovery process happened eventually for them, it was still taxing on their business.

 The most likely cause of damages for commercial properties include water damage and storm damage. The better prepared you are for these possibilities, the better equipped you will be to handle them.

 Water Damage

Unwanted water and moisture is a major problem for businesses across the United States. These problems come from excessive rains and even simple internal issues like a plumbing leak. While these problems range in intensity, both types can wreak havoc on your property.

 Flooding that comes from an outside source can often seep down through doors and into the ground where it can degrade the foundation of your facility. Landscape your property to route water away from your facility and keep it dry.

 Water damage can also be a slow, silent problem, stemming from a slow plumbing leak or an appliance failure. Take care to check your pipes on a regular basis to catch any unnoticed problems.

 Storm Damage

Commercial destruction from storms is also a common issue and can be detrimental to your entire building and business. Even something simple like a minor power outage can cause massive problems for you if you rely on power or refrigeration for your product.

 Powerful storms are also capable of taking off roofing and siding, breaking windows and doing irreversible damage to your building.

 Most storms have minimal wind speeds between 10 and 45 mph, but a strong wind over 100 mph can tear through walls, throw debris into windows and sling trees into your business.

 If you are able to invest, install storm-protective window coverings or reinforce your roof to help prevent extensive damage. Thankfully, utilizing even some basic preventive measures can help you avoid costly repairs and potential business closures.

 Call Us at SERVPRO of Gillette, Sheridan Commercial damage comes in many forms, but water and storm damage can be the most extensive and costly. If your business is forced to close while you deal with the damages, it can disrupt your livelihood.

 Thankfully, we maintain 24⁄7 availability and are proud to answer your call for help, day or night. We jump into action to make sure your business is back to operational as soon as possible.

 If you have experienced damage to your business or want to learn more about our commercial damage restoration services, contact us today. We’re here to act fast, 24⁄7.

Property owners: how to avoid a lot of issues that cost a lot of money

BEING A PROPERTY OWNER COMES WITH HUGE RESPONSIBILITIES AND MANY OF THEM INVOLVE MONEY.

Yes, being a property owner can be expensive, especially if you are spending your money is costly repairs instead of investing it in maintaining your property. While you may be wondering, what is the difference: spending money in repairs vs. maintenance? Ultimately, the difference is the amount of money you will spend and the surprises you will encountered. While not all issues can be avoided, following the tips below will help prevent damages and save you a lot of money in the long-run.

A Few Examples to Prevent a Fire

Regularly clean out the lint trap in your dryer

Keep a fire extinguisher (Class K: Cooking Oils) in kitchen

Clean the air ducts of your dryer, annually

Inspect the oil in your furnace, annually

A Few Examples to Prevent Mold

Check your plumbing regularly to detect early signs of leaks

Regularly clean your roof gutters

Inspect your roof to ensure water has not seeped

Regularly clean or replace your HVAC filters

OVERALL, REGULARLY CHECKING UP ON THINGS IS KEY.

It can lower the chances of exposing your property to dangers such as, leaks, mold, and or fire. While investing in the maintenance of your property may cost you a few hundred dollars a year (or less if done by you), neglecting your property altogether will cost you thousands of dollars, headaches, and unexpected ongoing expenses. Therefore, become familiar with the “Hidden Dangers in Your House” and consider following these tips. In the end, you may save money and your property altogether.

When you own and operate a business, you have so many things on your to-do list. But even as you take care of day-to-day responsibilities, don’t forget about emergency preparations.

As scary as it may sound, there are many times it only takes one disruption to take a business down for good! In fact, according to FEMA, 40% of small businesses don’t reopen after a natural disaster, and sadly, a quarter of those that do reopen are forced to close their doors with a year.

While business owners have to concern themselves with weather events or emergencies, they now also have to consider pandemic shutdowns. Because of these things, it’s important to have a plan in place, so that if something were to strike your business, you would know where to go from there. Three-quarters of all small businesses don’t have a plan in place, and it’s time that we make a change!

SERVPRO is proud to help our local communities like, Gillette, Sheridan along with so many others, prepare an Emergency Ready Plan. SERVPRO believes in loving and helping your neighbors, and that’s what will do!

SERVPRO can handle any job!

2/16/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Gillette, Sheridan is trained and equipped to respond to any type of biohazard situation. We can clean up crime scenes, hoarding, animal and human waste, and unattended death. This is not the most pleasant part of our job, but it is critical that it is handled properly. Here are a few types of biohazards, with an explanation of what they entail.

Unintended Death:

When a loved one passes away, and discovered after the fact, some cleanup is often necessary. We are aware that this situation can be very stressful for friends and family of the deceased.  The technicians at SERVPRO of Rapid City respond to these jobs with compassion and perform the necessary services quickly and safely. It is our goal to provide our cleanup services in a caring manner, and to try to alleviate some of the stress, allowing you and your family to move forward.

Hoarding:

Hoarding can often develop into a biohazard situation. Excessive household garbage and spoiled food are common in a hoarder house. This can attract insects and rodents, and dangerous bacteria can be present throughout the home.

Other Types of Biohazards:

Sewage backups, certain medical emergencies, and crime scenes are examples of other biohazards that require special attention. Bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens may be present. Special cleanup procedures and products are critical to ensure safety. 

If you have a biohazard problem that requires immediate attention, call SERVPRO of  Gillette, Sheridan anytime. We can respond rapidly, while handling the situation with dignity and respect.

The Home Restoration Service You Choose Matters

4/20/2021 (Permalink)

insurance document, pen and blue book sitting on black tabletop Contact SERVPRO of Rapid City today. We work with you and your insurance company to get things back to normal quickly.

Let’s be honest. No homeowners like to think about needing the type of services we provide. But when they do, it’s because fire, flooding or accidents have severely damaged their homes.

The type of help homeowners need from us is called home restoration. And its goal is to get the home back to its original state. While sometimes a mop, bucket and elbow grease are enough, you need a team of experts to restore your home in other circumstances.

When that happens, it’s essential to understand the home restoration process—and why choosing the right team can be vital to you being happy with your results.

Damage Happens More Often Than You Think

According to the Insurance Information Institute, about one in 20 homeowners will need to file a home damage insurance claim every year. So that means if you have 40 friends and acquaintances, two of them will likely deal with home damage this year.

We also have some statistics about individual types of disasters and issues.

For example, about one out of every 350 American homeowners will deal with a fire damage claim each year, from causes ranging from storm and lightning damage to furnace fires.

When you think about the entire population of the United States, that statistic translates to millions of families. Some of these people will need to get help from a professional team. That’s when choosing a quality restoration company will make all the difference for you.

Training Makes a Difference

Our team members pride themselves on offering an excellent level of restoration services. It matters on several levels, including response time, availability and training. We take special pride in the level of training our technicians to receive.

Beyond the training offered by SERVPRO at a national level, our technicians earn valuable certifications through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification. This non-profit group provides various certifications to ensure restoration and cleaning technicians can use the latest proven techniques when restoring your home.

That means you can rest assured you’re in good hands.

If your home is damaged due to a fire or any other cause, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have teams who are available 247 in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help your family.

Broken Pipe, Water Damage Getting Spinkler Syslems Winterized can Cause Pressure Breaks.

SERVPRO received a call for a commercial water loss for a hotel in keystone their pipes had broken! Once SERVPRO was dispatched to the site they began to extract the water. After the water was removed the team then set out our drying equipment. As it was getting closer to drying out fully we noticed a residue left on the walls and ceiling. Using our SERVPRO methods we were able to get rid of the residue. This job took a total  of five larger air movers, four team members, and a few days to get the job all done.

Planning for an emergency in your business

1/13/2021 (Permalink)

Business owners are no stranger to the importance of planning ahead, but many of them do not prioritize disaster planning for their business.

Unprepared businesses that are hit by a disaster are frequently devastated, even being rendered unable to reopen. By evaluating your current preparedness levels and determining where you can improve, you can ensure this does not happen to you.

Understanding the three main categories of disaster preparedness is much simpler than planning for each scenario, allowing you to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses and make changes accordingly. Here are the top three categories for disaster preparedness:

Your Commercial Insurance Coverage

While it is logical to assume that a commercial business policy will cover any damages sustained from a natural disaster, many business owners are dismayed to find that is far from the case. Most commercial insurance policies exclude common specifics such as flood damage, and do not provide coverage for the loss of revenue that business owners sustain. Talk to your insurance agent to determine exactly what is and is not in your policy in advance.

Your Emergency Plan and Supply Kit

When the alert is sent out about a natural disaster, or if an emergency like a fire occurs, there will often only be minutes to react. Having an evacuation plan is vital to keep both you and your employees safe in this scenario. It is also wise to plan for a situation in which you will have to await help and stay on-site during an emergency such as a power outage. Stock an office emergency supply bag with enough food, water and medical supplies to cover anyone who may be present.

Your Plan for Restoration and Recovery

Reopening as quickly as possible following a disaster is the top way to minimize the impact that the damages have on the future of your business. By researching and deciding on a restoration company in advance of the disaster, you can make the call as soon as your business is safe to reenter in order to have restoration started right away. In the aftermath, the Small Business Administration offers disaster loans to assist business owners at a lowered interest rate, as well.

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