Business Fire Emergency? Create Your Action Plan

Very few have the ability and the guts to start their own business. Fewer have the resolve to see it through, and even fewer still actually succeed at it. The risks are high and adversity numerous that having a successful business means one has undergone trial by fire, the metaphorical kind. Imagine having it all taken away in the blink of an eye by the literal one.
 
The risk of fires is very real but also very preventable. There are many ways to reduce the likelihood of fires occurring or causing too much damage, not only to your property but also to people. The easiest and by far the cheapest is by creating and enforcing policies in your place of business that ensure that fire-causing objects, such as matchboxes or lighters, are not brought into the workplace. Another way is through segregation. If the fire agent is a part of work, say alcohol is being used as a cleaning agent for a part of some machine, provide flame-proof cabinets or any enclosed storage to ensure that they do not come in contact with a spark and inadvertently cause a fire, and position these cabinets or storage bins in a place with room temperature to avoid spontaneous combustion. You can also provide fire extinguishers in places where the risk of fire is high, such as near heating equipment, and conduct regular fire safety training for the personnel, so they know how to use a fire extinguisher if the need arises. In addition, identify emergency fire exits and escape routes and include these in the regular training so as not to cause stampede and confusion when a fire happens.
 
Comply to fire safety regulations, and you will have gone a long way in ensuring your business is safe from fire damage, statistically speaking, but for very rare cases, despite your best efforts, such an emergency can still happen. The good news is you are hardly powerless against it. The first part of your contingency plan could be to get fire insurance. It may take a sizable chunk of your profits, especially if you are running a small business, but think of it as paying not only for security for your business but for your peace of mind. The second part is to hire professionals if a fire has already damaged your place of business. One such company that specializes in fire damage restoration in Atlanta, Georgia is ServiceMaster by Lovejoy, who has IICRC-certified fire damage restoration technicians in Atlanta. They also do restoration for water damage and mold remediation projects not only for businesses but also for homes, including full house cleaning services from carpets to upholstery.

Protect your Home from Molds


Don’t you know that moisture inside your home are the best place for mold occurrence?

Molds are pervasive, which means it exists anywhere and everywhere. With their huge population, they can be hazardous to our health, which can lead to serious respiratory infections and causing allergic reactions.

The only way to get rid of it is to locate where it mostly grows, so it can go through the process called Mold Remediation.

First is to locate the moisture.
Molds are likely to appear in moist areas such as leaky roofs, indoor plumbing problems, floods, or building-maintenance.

Those common building materials such as drywall, furring strips, plywood, and carpets usually the areas to where molds usually occur.

If you suspect that the heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) system may be contaminated with mold, it is part of an identified moisture problem, for instance, or there is mold near the intake to the system. Do not run the HVAC system if you know or suspect that it is contaminated with mold - it could spread mold throughout the building.

Create a remediation plan
If you hire a Mold Remediation expert after the inspection the team will create a documentary, such as photos or videos for them to create a remediation plan. In this case, the team will know how everything will be done. It also includes the warranty and the liability of the company.

Calculate the extent of the contamination
The team should figure out the extent of the contamination to ensure that all infected areas are thoroughly treated.

There are guidelines that need to be followed. These guidelines are commonly used in the construction industry and recommend six levels of mold remediation based on the square footage of the molds

MOLD Remediation Process – The process always includes the cleanup of the existing molds as well as prevents the new growth without harming the homeowners and the handyman.

The cleanup process is the same for Level 1 and Level 2 mold remediation and comprises these steps:
  • Repair the water problem
  • Isolate the contaminated area.
  • Suppress dust.
  • Remove materials.
  • Place materials in plastic bags.
  • Clean
  • Clean the affected area and egress.
  • Visibility test
  • Dry
  • Replace.

The Final Check Up

This where we need the documentation papers. It will determine if the correct procedure is done. Compare the photo or the video that has been taken before the process has taken place. After the remediation process, an environmental testing company will come (depending on the contractor) or needed to verify that the molds are completely gone and has been prevented.

Mold Remediation process cannot be done by an ordinary handyman, if the area cannot be thoroughly cleaned the mold will keep growing which will compromise your family’s safety.

Having molds in your home not only can look horrid, but it also airs serious health concerns. To effectively remove mold and prevent its return, you need to hire a Mold Remediation Professional.
