Protect your business from water damage during rain storms.
As a property owner, it is extremely vital to your business’s productivity that all prevention and safeguards be done to thwart water damage from taking place during our busy monsoon season. Since the official start of monsoon season, which was June 15th, the Phoenix area has already seen a number of storms passing through the Valley. Yesterday, a dust storm warning was issued in which blowing dust was seen entering the Valley from the south. Dust storms typically bring high winds, blowing dust, low visibility, and in some cases, rainstorms.
Having a plan in place for your business can help prevent more severe damage from taking place and halting your business’s daily operations. We recommend having your property’s roof inspected for any damage that could potentially lead to rain leaking into the building. The building’s drainage system also needs to be inspected and cleared of any blockages that could prevent the water from properly draining out of your gutters.
SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix typically sees roof damage being a common cause for water damage occurring during monsoons. If you find your business in this situation, give us a call. We are available 24/7 for water damage emergencies.

SERVPRO Is Here To Help With Your Water Loss
12/31/2021 (Permalink)
We are faster to any size disaster!
In our previous blog entry on SERVPRO of Scottsdale, we identified the three categories of water which are: Clean, Gray, and Black. When a water loss occurs, it may start out as clean water, especially if it’s from a broken pipe or an overflowing faucet. But this can turn into a serious situation that can evolve to a higher water category.
The longer that water sits, the more it can change and cause more damage, especially if the water loss occurs on the second floor. This can cause water to leak through the insulation and damaging not only the insulation, but drywall and other materials.
Don't Delay, Call SERVPRO Today!
Anytime a water loss occurs in your home, give SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix a call right away.

Prevent Commercial Fire Damage to a Phoenix Business By Being Prepared
9/24/2015 (Permalink)
Keep Your Fire Extinguishers Fully Charged
SERVPRO Will Restore Your Commercial Building in Phoenix After Fire Damage
A commercial property owner in Phoenix should be aware of how to inspect properly fire protection equipment. Doing so may help prevent fires and limit the adverse impact that fire damage has on the commercial property. Learn more about how to handle various pieces of equipment by reviewing the short outline provided below:
Fire Extinguishers
Each commercial building must be equipped with fire extinguishers. The number of fire extinguishers required will be determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Fire extinguishers should be placed so that individuals do not have to cover more than 75 feet to reach them. Additionally, the extinguishers should be placed close to exits, so employees are not forced to move deeper into the building to grab one. Quickly subduing flames will limit fire damage. It's a good idea to discuss the necessary maintenance procedures with the responsible entity that periodically inspects and replaces these valuable fire-fighting tools.
??Emergency Lights/Exit Signs
Almost every commercial building has emergency lighting and exit signs. A commercial inspector is not required to determine whether the business owner has a need for them. However, when exit signs and emergency lights are present on the property, commercial inspectors should inspect them to ensure that they are functioning properly. Both pieces of equipment have test buttons that the inspector can press. Exit lights should remain illuminated constantly. When the test button actuated, it causes a power outage. In turn, this will cause a secondary source of power to light up the sign. Thus, the exit sign should be fully illuminated prior to the button being pressed. Once the button is pressed, a quick flash of light will indicate that the equipment has switched to its second source of power.
Fire Sprinkler/Standpipe Systems
Fire sprinkler systems will sometimes require testing by state-licensed personnel. The inspector will analyze the sprinkler system's components and educate the client about the equipment. Some of the maintenance requirements for this fire suppresant system include:
• Monthly verification that each of the control valves is opened
• Quarterly Main Drain Test conducted by in-house maintenance personnel
• Annual inspection of the system by a professional fire sprinkler contractor
Every commercial business owner in Phoenix wants to keep his property safe from fire and its resulting fire damage. By having the local fire marshall inspect on a fixed schedule, it can limit the likelihood of a fire. Remember, that SERVPRO, a premier fire damage restoration company is never more than one hour away from getting your business back up and running. Our professionals are effective in providing commercial business owners with the high-quality inspections and assessments needed to start the process from water extraction to final restoration.

Plan Ahead to Prevent Water Damage in a Southwest Phoenix Commercial Building
7/25/2015 (Permalink)
If you are a business owner, then knowing how to prevent structural damage from leaking water pipes and overflowing toilets is vital.
Plan Ahead to Prevent Water Damage in a Commercial Building
How to Prevent Commercial Water Damage
If you are a business owner, then knowing how to prevent structural damage from leaking water pipes and overflowing toilets is vital to avoid suffering from the financial losses of property and goods. Statistics reveal that each day over 7,000 individuals report a storm, water or fire damage to their insurance agents while hiring professional remediation companies. Sometimes the damage from incidences such as a flood or leaking roof is minor, requiring only a small repair to a specific area of a building. However, extensive Southwest Phoenix commercial water damage from a flood or rainstorm can lead to big problems that require fast remediation to prevent additional moisture problems after a roof is destroyed on a retail establishment or office building.
Use this Monthly Checklist to Prevent Commercial Damage
One: Examine Rooftops
Use a sturdy ladder to perform these inspections on a commercial building:
• Check for water spots on exterior and interior surfaces
• Examine flashings and seals near heating and cooling vents
• Check rooftop drainage devices for blockages caused by debris
Two: Window Inspections
• Inspect all windowsills, joints and flashings for small leaks
• Examine locks and cranks for defects that do not seal out moisture
• Repair or Replace loose or broken windowpanes
Three: Examine Interior Walls
• Verify that holes near electrical wiring and plumbing fixtures are sealed
• Check door and window frames for defects that do not seal out moisture
• Make sure siding is not cracked or splitting
Fast Remediation is Necessary after Water Damage Occurs
Despite careful inspections and maintenance, Southwest Phoenix commercial water damage can still occur that requires a rapid response from business managers. Prepare by having a written emergency plan that covers all types of situations, including damage from fire hoses and sprinklers or bursting water pipes. Several employees should have access to the information needed for commercial water damage emergencies, including the telephone number of the local SERVPRO.
What to Include in an Emergency Response Plan
Take the time to consider the different types of Southwest Phoenix commercial water damage that can occur, including wet carpeting from a broken pipe or a flooded basement from an overflowing sewer line. Some of the things to include in a plan are:
• Location of main water valve to turn it off
• How to turn off electricity and gas safely
• Diagram of building that shows access to fixtures and wires
• Contact details for emergency personnel and SERVPRO experts
