SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County is Here to Help with disaster strikes your business!
Smoke billowing out of windows, flames shooting into the air, firetrucks surrounding the building and pumping numerous gallons of water in….
These are things that no business owner or manager ever wants to experience. Property fire can not only be extremely dangerous, but is often very costly, both in terms of damage sustained and the following loss of business incurred. While, unfortunately, no way of completed eliminating the risk of fire has been invented, there are steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk and safeguard your business from extreme disaster when fire damage does strike.
- THINK SAFETY FIRST! Having an evacuation plan in place for building occupants is extremely important to keeping everyone safe and healthy. This plan should be posted throughout the building, notating the location of emergency exits, and periodic “fire drills” should be conducted to make sure everyone understands the plan. Have a designated meeting space outside of the building so that all occupants can be accounted for.
- Install, use, and test fire alarm systems. Depending on the size of the property, fire alarms may range from single mounted units in each room, to full building alarm systems equipped with flashing lights and sirens. Make sure batteries are replaced at least twice a year in smoke detectors and have a licensed professional service any commercial grade fire alarm equipment to ensure proper working order.
- Install, use, and test fire suppression equipment. Once again, depending on building size and purpose, fire suppression equipment may range from individual fire extinguishers to riser fed sprinklers, or chemical extinguisher systems. Make sure fire extinguishers are in date and inspected by a licensed professional. Sprinkler and chemical suppression equipment should be serviced regularly as well. Make sure building occupants know the location of fire extinguishers in case of emergency.
- In case fire damage does occur, have a plan in place for AFTERWARD. This may include selection of a preferred restoration vendor, such as SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County, and a defined set of protocol to follow, which can be documented and accessible though the SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile (ERP). The overwhelming majority of businesses who continue to stay in business after property disaster strikes had a “what if” plan in place.

Preventative Maintenance for Pensacola’s Commercial Properties
4/8/2022 (Permalink)
Keep your business well maintained to reduce the risk of property damage!
What is one of the best things that can be done by business owners and leaders to the reduce the risk of commercial property damage? PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE! Planning for the possibility of an issue, as well as catching small issues before they become much larger disasters, can save time, stress, and expenses for business leaders throughout the community. Some preventative maintenance steps that can be taken, specifically as they relate to reducing the risk of fire, water, and mold issues include:
- Maintain Property Landscaping. A buildup of debris can reduce the ability for rainwater to drain off effectively, which could lead to water intrusion into the building.
- Periodic Plumbing Checks. Following a regular schedule to check the plumbing of the building can allow small leaks to be found and fixed before they become a larger issue. Especially in buildings with plumbing constructed of older materials, it may be necessary to bring in a licensed plumber to replace outdated equipment.
- Inspect Your Appliances. Supply lines from water fed equipment account for a large amount of water damages. Periodically check to make sure lines are securely connected. Check for and replace any lines that show signs of corrosion, cracking, or breakage.
- Maintain Your Fire Extinguishers and/or Fire Suppression Systems. Having working, in date fire extinguishers, and properly maintained fire suppression systems can dramatically reduce the possibility of a small fire becoming a dangerous, large, extremely damaging fire. Utilize professional technicians and vendors to service these devices is imperative to making sure they are in proper working order when the need arises.
- Store Hazardous Chemicals Safely. Do not allow flammable or combustible chemicals to be stored in an area accessible by the public, or near any type of heat/flame source. Follow all label instructions when using hazardous chemicals.
- Control Humidity Levels Inside the Building. High humidity, combined with porous materials, can create the perfect environment for microbial growth. Reduce this possibility by controlling humidity levels using HVAC systems and dehumidifier units.
- Keep Duct Work & HVAC Units Clean. Soiled ductwork can allow contaminants, including mold spores, to be circulated throughout a building. Hire a professional to perform duct cleaning services as needed, and make sure to change HVAC filters regularly.
Even with the best preventative maintenance plan, property damage disasters do happen. If your business suffers a water, fire, mold, or storm damage loss, trust the locally owned and operated team at SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County to help. We offer 24/7/365 emergency response and take great pride in providing the highest possible level of customer service.

Commercial Mold in Cantonment?
8/6/2021 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County has the equipment, training, and qualifications to handle mold losses of all sizes!
One of the last issues that a property manager or business owner wants to contend with during their busy workday is mold. Although mold occurs naturally and is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors, and the concept of “mold removal” is a fallacy, there are steps that can be taken to restrict mold growth within your business, creating a safer environment for employees and clients, as well as reducing the risk of a situation which will require professional remediation.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides the following information about mold in general, mold prevention, and mold cleanup:
- The primary way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Issues such as a damaged roof, leaking pipe in the wall, or improperly dried flood water create the perfect environment for mold to grow and thrive.
- Reducing indoor humidity to between 30%-60% can help decrease mold growth. This can be done by venting bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture generating sources to the outside, using air conditioners and dehumidifiers within the building, and using exhaust fans while cooking or cleaning.
- If excessive water intrusion or flooding occurs, clean and dry any wet building materials within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. Porous materials, such as wood or drywall, if not properly dried, can hold in moisture and accelerate mold generation.
- In areas where there is a perpetual moisture problem, do not install carpeting (such as by drinking fountains, on concrete floors with frequent condensation, or near building exit doors).
- If you suspect mold contamination within your building, do not run the HVAC system. This could circulate the mold spores throughout the structure.
- Do not paint or caulk moldy surfaces without first cleaning, sanitizing, and drying. Paint applied over moldy surfaces is likely to peel.
When it comes to mold issues, especially on a larger scale, employing a professional mold remediation specialist may often be your best bet. With certifications from the IICRC and Licensed as a Mold Remediator in the State of Florida, SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County has the training, equipment, and qualifications to help make your damage “Like it never even happened.” For more information on mold remediation please visit us at https://www.SERVPROnorthwestescambiacounty.com/mold-remediation, visit the EPA website at https://www.epa.gov/mold, or call our team at 850-466-3089.

Level 1 Loss – a level one commercial loss typically involves 15,000 or less affected square feet. This can be the entirety of a small commercial structure, such as a small office building or daycare center, or only a portion of a much larger structure that has sustained damages. A level one loss generally requires less labor and resources to address than level two and three losses.
Level 2 Loss – a level two commercial loss typically involves between 15,000 to 60,000 affected square feet. This can encompass the entirety of a medium sized structure, such as a small shopping center, or once again, be only a portion of a much larger structure that has sustained damages. Depending on the type of loss, and severity of damages, level two losses can vary greatly in the amount of labor and resources necessary to mitigate the structure.
Level 3 Loss – a level three commercial loss typically involves over 60,000 affected square feet. Large churches, schools, hospitals, and multi-unit office buildings are just a few examples of properties that, depending on how much of the building is affected, could possibly fit into the level three loss category. These “large losses” generally require the highest amount of resources and labor and are often managed by a SERVPRO Large Loss Team.

Preventing Mold Growth in Your Business
4/29/2020 (Permalink)
Is your Pensacola, Cantonment, or Century business in need of mold remediation? Give SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County a call at 850-466-3089!
Mold, in general, is a very common occurrence in Florida. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that some mold, over time, may cause structural damage to wood along with damage to furnishings and finishes. Commercial mold growth could also take a toll on your staff's health if not taken care of properly.
Use the following tips to help prevent mold growth in your business:
#1: Keep the Kitchen Clean
Refrigerators are a prime breeding ground for mold due to the high humidity. When left sitting for long periods of time, containers of leftover food inside the refrigerator may sprout mold which can them spread to shelving, seals, and even outside of the refrigerator. Kitchen trash cans also offer a prime location for mold growth to begin, as food particulates and liquids often seep through the liner into the container. Institute a kitchen cleaning schedule to help combat mold generation.
#2: Watch for Leaks
Leaks from plumbing, windows, and roofs can lead to significant water damage in your business as well as an increased risk of mold growth. If you aren’t regularly inspecting your property, it’s easy for these leaks to go unnoticed until they create a larger, more costly problem. Common signs of leaks to watch for include decreased water pressure, discoloration or staining of ceilings and walls, and unexplained puddling of water on the floor.
#3: Run a Dehumidifier
High humidity levels can lead to moisture retention and mold growth. Humidity is an extremely common cause of mold for businesses in Florida. To combat this issue, run a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity in the building. Dehumidifiers work much like air conditioners—warm, moist air is drawn into the dehumidifier by a fan. The moist air then crosses over the dehumidifier's refrigerant cooled coils, causing the moisture in the air to condense on the coils within the machine.
#5: Take Care of Your HVAC System
Your HVAC system can quickly distribute mold spores throughout your building if there is a problem. Make sure your HVAC system receives regular inspections. Sometimes moisture can condense inside HVAC ducts which can lead to mold growth inside the ducts. Make sure to keep the HVAC drip pans clean and unobstructed. And, don’t forget to replace your filters as needed.
If you suspect mold has infiltrated your property, call SERVPRO of Northwest Escambia County at 850-466-3089, We’re Here to Help.
