Day in the Life of a Marketing Rep

4/7/2021 (Permalink)

Here is a day in the life of a Marketing Representative here at SERVPRO! I arrive at the office to begin my workday at 8 AM. I begin with logging into our work center and checking out whatever new jobs have come in overnight. Once I filter through those jobs, we begin our Work In Progress meeting and go over all the details of each of the clients losses. We discuss the damage, our plan, and how we can best serve each customer with their unique situation. Next, we discuss employee schedules for the day. I use this information for my schedule so I can meet other staff members to introduce myself to each customer. If I am not going out to see clients, I spend my time promoting our company to potential commercial clients. By creating a route for myself, I can visit multiple customers and potential clients in a day. I grab some marketing materials, sometimes some donuts for some of the commercial jobs that I know are closing that week as a “thank you”, and I am on my way. I spread awareness of SERVPRO, and I get the word out in the community that SERVPRO is a great company to choose when you are looking for cleanup or restoration needs. I love the company that I work for and I want every customer to love them as much as I do!

A Blog From Our Water Damage Queen

COMRADERY IS NOT GONE!

The definition of Comradery is - a spirit of friendly good-fellowship.  I have had the opportunity to work with several other SERVPROs where comradery has been deeply expressed and appreciated on both sides.  From SERVPRO corporate to the local county and states, the assistance and overall advice has been enlightening.  As we all know, the world of emergency services can be stressful.  However, when you can call another SERVPRO and hear a friendly voice, that is when you know how far-reaching the SERVPRO “family” really is.  For individuals that have never had the opportunity to speak with a comrade at another SERVPRO, I highly suggest you reach out for a quick introduction.  It’s not scary at all!  I still get excited when travelling back home to Maryland when I see a SERVPRO vehicle.  I find myself prideful in the fact that I belong to an organization that gives a helping hand to each other. 

Stop The Growth!

3/9/2021 (Permalink)

Stop the growth, “mold” Turkey!!

Want to know how to avoid mold growth and stop it cold turkey? Here are some helpful hints:

Mold growth can happen anywhere in your home or business. Most of the time it is due to high humidity and condensation build up over time. In Florida it is more common than people think and has become a well known issue in the state. The condensation that forms when a house is colder than the outside air is the perfect environment for mold to grow.

Here are some ways to prevent mold growth in your home:

First is to keep an eye on the humidity levels in your home. Make sure that they are no more than around 50% as the day goes on. If levels reach above 50% that could cause growth to happen.

Also, make sure that the air in your home flows freely and there are no restrictions on air flow.

Any leaks that may be present, no matter how small, should be addressed immediately. Always dry up wet items quickly and fully. If you are unsure if a wall or affected item is completely dry, allow SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel to come out and check for you! 

Protect Yourself and Your Home or Business

Protect Yourself and Your Home

Water damages happen all the time. In fact, about 40% of all homeowners have experienced a water damage of some sort.

On the other hand, about 93% of all water damages could have been prevented if the homeowner were educated on the steps you can take to prevent any damage from happening.

Here are some things that homeowners can do to prevent water damages in their home:

Always inspect your home for leaks, that included the roof and pipes that constantly have running water running through them.

It is always smart to know where the main water shut off value is. It could save homeowners a lot of money and reduce panic.

If you are planning on going away for a long trip, turn your water off to save your home from any incidentals.

Clean your gutters regularly. Gutters should be cleaned monthly to unsure that there is no debris blocking the flow of water.

As always, if you end up suffering from damage in your home, give SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel a call at 727-847-3000! We'd be happy to assist.

Oh No! You Have Mold!

3/4/2021 (Permalink)

Mold found in this Wesley Chapel business after wallpaper removal.

Do’s and Don’ts of Mold

Discovering Mold in your home or business can be intimidating. Luckily SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel technicians are trained and certified to help. Microbial growth can be tricky. What most people don’t realize is that it IS a living, breathing organism. This means that not only can it grow and expand throughout the entire property, it also has defense mechanisms to protect it. Below we will go over some Do’s and Don’ts when you find growth in your home or business.

DON’T

• Spray anything directly on the growth

Like we discussed, mold is living and it will attack. When a solution is sprayed onto any growth, it immediately shoots its spores out in defense. This is something you obviously can’t see with your naked eye but if it is sending spores in other directions and you’re only focused on cleaning what you visually see, it will begin to grow in the new areas.

DO

• Use a solution and clean rag or sponge

If you would like to attempt to clean up a small amount of visual growth before you give us a call, we can offer some advice. Hot water and dawn dish soap or bleach can work wonders, but the way you use it is what is most important. Soak and rag or sponge in the hot water solution and simply wipe the mold away. This catches growth off guard and allows you to safely remediate the issue.

DON’T

• Disturb anything you see

If you happen to discover what looks like possible mold, it's important that you do not disturb it. This goes with our last tip that we discussed. The second that mold is disturbed, it starts to spread at a higher rate of speed. If  you’re in the middle of a remodel, or maybe you have a second home you’ve returned to and discovered possible mold growth it’s extremely important that you do not touch it. Obviously a small amount of mold in the shower is normal, but anything over 10 sq feet needs a licensed Hygienist to write a proper protocol on the steps that need to be taken to remediate it properly.

DO

• Cover it up!

Obviously, we suggest you call us here at SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel immediately if growth is discovered in your home or business but in the mean time covering the affected area is the safest thing to do. If it's in a small room, we suggest closing any air vents and shutting that room off to the rest of the building. If it's in a small area of a larger room, taping it off with plastic sheeting can do the trick! This will help contain -the area until remediation can begin!

-Of course, we always recommend you give us a call at 727-847-3000 for any remediation project or with questions! We are happy to help make it “Like it never even happened.”

Mold Prevention in Wesley Chapel

7/21/2020 (Permalink)

Mold Prevention

Mold: It’s a sight no business owner wants to see. The discovery of mold in your Wesley Chapel office can cause alarm with everyone. Not only this, but mold growth can result in heavy costs on your part. Luckily, there are things you can do to help prevent microbial growth.

Pay Attention to Humidity

Mold thrives in humid environments, so be aware of areas at work where the humidity levels may be on the high side. If you spot concerns, get a dehumidifier. Basements, attics and the areas under sinks are common culprits.

Watch for Flooding

Water damage is perhaps the most common source for mold trouble. After a heavy storm or pipe break, hire a competent water cleanup team to thoroughly dry the building and sanitize the area.

Repair Leaks Promptly

Inspect your kitchens, break rooms and restrooms regularly. As soon as you spot trouble with pipes and faucets, especially persistent dripping and leaks, get the right people on the job to fix the issues.

Ventilation Is Critical

Mold prevention will be successful if your building has effective ventilation throughout all areas. This is especially important in kitchens or laundry areas. If you have these rooms in your building, ensure that you have functioning fans in them.

Like any disaster or unforeseen incident, preventing mold may not be 100 percent possible, but you can significantly increase the likelihood that this unwanted invader will stay away from the premises. Don’t wait for water damage or other issues to spring you into action. Pay attention to all of these factors so you can keep mold away.

Mold vs Mildew

6/30/2020 (Permalink)

The thought of finding mold in your home or business can be scary, especially when you’re unsure how to remediate it. Mildew and molds are fungi - simple microscopic organisms that thrive anywhere there is a moist environment. That makes it difficult to get rid of on your own.

Molds are a necessary part of the environment; without them, leaves would not decay and aspects of soil enrichment could not take place. It is their ability to destroy organic materials, however, that makes mold a problem for people - in our homes and in our bodies.

 Mildew (mold in early stage) and molds grow on wood products, ceiling tiles, cardboard, wallpaper, carpets, drywall, fabric, plants, foods, insulation, decaying leaves and other organic materials. Mold growths, or colonies, can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours. They reproduce by spores - tiny, lightweight “seeds”- that travel through the air.

 Molds digest organic material, eventually destroying the material they grow on, and then spread to destroy adjacent organic material. In addition to the damage molds can cause in your home, they can also cause mild to severe health problems if left untreated. If you or someone you know has discovered growth in their home or business, give us a call at 727-847-3000 and let SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel help make your home “Like it never even happened.”

Day 14: The Day I Considered Corona's Impact on N-95 Couture

4/21/2020 (Permalink)

In the restoration and remediation industry, we have been wearing N-95 particulate respirators for years and systematically include them in our regular supplies. The masks have always been slightly uncomfortable, hot and not flattering. Over the years, I have seen people wear them upside down, with one strap around their head instead of two, and on their forehead because it was too hot and what’s a few mold spores going do to me anyway. Hard to argue with that logic, I mean how much harm could a few microscopic particulates do to a person. This is where I insert the hand hitting the forehead emoji. I see people in their cars with windows rolled up, air conditioning cranking, radio jamming and a mask around their face. I wonder if they know something I don’t. I am excited though, maybe COVID-19 will do to the respirator industry what Uber did to the taxi-cab industry. The bland hospital white look that screams, ‘there must something wrong with that guy,’ could be replaced with something much cooler. I am not creative enough to know what that is, but I know the bar is so low it would be hard to be disappointed with any attempt. Get Nike or Yeti or someone like that involved and we have a chance for something better, I think. Anyway, in the meantime, I will keep doing my part and wearing my N-95 in public like it is Halloween. In case you see me driving around with it on, roll down the window and wave. Just know that I want to talk to you, it is not personal but it hurts my jaw too much with it on. I wonder if they make children’s sizes for the house.

Day 7: The Day No One Else Was Around

4/8/2020 (Permalink)

Day 7, 5:59 p.m Struggled a little bit today… I like people. I like being around people, I like talking to people and I like interacting with people. I consider myself a people person. I know a lot of different kinds of people and not all of them are ‘people people.’ The longer this drags on, I am starting to understand their thought process more. People I have found, in general, can have a lot of needs. One of my favorite George Carlin rants is when he talks about people’s needs in a way only he could: “We hear this all the time now, ‘My needs aren’t being met.’ You know what I tell them? Drop some of your needs.” If only it were that simple. For now though, the roads are empty, the office is empty, the phone calls are slower than normal and I am wondering when do I get to see all the people again? In the short term, I will handle the silence but look forward to people’s needs, interactions and laughter. I am not sure when this over but until the national TP shortage has ended, the office will remain empty because that is one need that cannot be dropped.

Tampa Commercial Water Loss

3/16/2020 (Permalink)

Commercial water damage is not always a sudden burst pipe gushing water into your business, sometimes its as simple as an unseen slow leak for an extended period of time. The good news is, there are signs that appear with that type of loss as well. If you see the following signs affecting your New Tampa business, try to investigate a little and see if there is an issue that requires immediate assistance. If so give SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel call 24/7 to help mitigate!

Musty odor

Do you have a musty odor throughout your building that you can’t quite locate? That could be a sign of water damage. Musty odors begin forming when there is standing water present. This could be in an attic, crawl space or other area unseen.

Signs of mold

It only takes 24-hours for airborne mold spores to set up their home in your building if conditions are right. Where excessive moisture exists, often so do mold colonies. Professional remediation is a must to eliminate the conditions conducive to growth as well as stop the potential for cross-contamination to different areas of your business.

Water stains

Water stains are the most obvious sign of water damage in your commercial business. If you’re noticing discoloration on the ceiling or wall, chances are you have a leak. SERVPRO technicians have moisture detection equipment that allows them to “see” behind walls and under flooring to determine where the most extensive moisture is found.

If you are noticing any of these signs in your Trinity commercial property, call SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel and let us come out and check it for you!

COVID-19

3/13/2020 (Permalink)

As we face the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, now a pandemic, SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel is receiving calls from clients in Tampa asking how to address this from a cleaning perspective.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responding to an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and has spread to more than 132 countries. The virus, abbreviated COVID-19, is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person or through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

From a cleaning perspective, the CDC encourages the cleaning of high-touch surfaces. This can include counters, tabletops, doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and tables at a minimum. This applies to commercial spaces as well.

SERVPRO is able to provide support by offering proactive cleaning services including removal of biohazard contaminants with an EPA-registered disinfectant and specialized cleaning methodology. We can help minimize the spread of germs with proactive cleaning! At SERVPRO, we’re trained to adhere to the highest cleaning and sanitation standards, making us the #1 choice for cleanup and restoration. Call SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel to see how we can help clean your Tampa home or business.

How the Unexpected Water Damage Could Occur

7/30/2019 (Permalink)

Our local community knows that SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel has handled numerous residential water damage projects. However, what you might not be as familiar with is our ability to provide water damage cleanup and restoration services for commercial properties. While our company’s job is to clean and restore your home or business after a disaster, we also enjoy providing helpful information for our community. Listed below are some of the most common causes of a water damage done to your commercial facility.

• Weather

Storm season around here in our neck of the woods is simply common knowledge to most all residents. Whether it be a large rains storm or a full-on hurricane, water damage is rather common as an aftermath from a storm. It can be anything from flooding in multiple rooms of your property, a broken window that just opened allowing water to enter your building, or a fallen tree that harmed your exterior.

• Plumbing mishaps or Backup

 Pipes being clogged or backed up from a variety of things- food, grease, paper, plastic items, etc.- can create pressure that causes an overflowing appliance. Whether it be the toilet in your bathroom or the sink in your new breakroom, all can be affected by a pipe backup and one major way your business or commercial property can have water damage.

• Foundation Cracks

Your commercial facility can fall in a world of damage simply because of a crack in your foundation. It can be a small crack that goes unnoticed, or a major weak spot. When your foundation cracks it allows water to creep in and begin doing damage. Not only could it cause you water damage but if materials absorb that water it can lead to mold growth.

• Pipe Bursts

A pipe burst is one of the most common water damages causes we have seen here at SERVPRO. Pipe bursts are sometimes an inevitable disaster however having regular maintenance done to your plumbing can help alleviate the potential pipe burst in your facility. In addition, taking the proper measure to make sure your plumbing does not get clogged by inappropriate items can help you prevent a pipe burst disaster on your property.

When the unexpected happens, give us a call. We can make your commercial disaster “Like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO Convention 2018

7/12/2018 (Permalink)

If you happened to visit Mouseland last month, you may have seen a sea of green and orange, in addition to the usual ubiquitous mouse ear hats.  This year SERVPRO owners and team members from around the country gathered in Orlando for the annual franchise convention. It’s the “go to” event of the year and for the first time I was able to attend.

As SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel's Social Media Specialist, my goal is to represent our brand to the best of my ability and having the opportunity to meet with other franchise teams was a learning experience I’ll never forget. Although we operate as a franchise system and each service center is independently owned and operated, we all work as a family supporting our green and orange brothers and sisters, bouncing ideas off each other, what works and what doesn’t.

What made my experience even better was getting to make the two-hour drive from our New Port Richey office to Orlando with one of the best project coordinators known to man, Shanna. In speaking with her about her time at the convention, she was thrilled to learn about upcoming changes to our systems that will make day to day operations run more efficiently. Shanna added in that the presenters themselves were enthusiastic, making the “learning” experience more than just that, it was fun!

Now that the 2018 SERVPRO convention has ended and we’ve brought back the rich information and ideas to our local office, we’d like to thank the corporate team from Gallatin, Tennessee, for their hard work and dedication for continued growth of the green and orange brand.

Prepare Your Commercial Building

5/23/2018 (Permalink)

A plethora of air movers are placed in a Pasco County medical facility after flooding occurred throughout the entire facility.

As hurricane season quickly approaches, preparing your commercial building is key factor to preventing flood damages that could be quite costly.  

There are two phases to building preparation:  

• Preventative 

• Pre- Storm 

The Preventative Phase can be taken at any time throughout the year and should include having your building inspected and retrofitted for common risks, including flood water and heavy winds. You should also make data backup a part of your everyday routine and implement an alternate means of communication for when lines go down.  
 
The Pre-Storm phase should include closing all your storm windows, covering equipment and moving it to a secured area, disconnecting electrical equipment and turning off gas and electricity.  
 
Stay Safe 
 
When a flood warning is issued, get to higher ground as soon as possible. If flooding is already underway, stay put until authorities say that it is OK for everyone to go home. Heed all evacuation warnings, and don’t wait to act until flood water has already entered your building.  
 
A flooded building is dangerous to both your assets and your personnel. Keep everyone safe and protect your assets from water damage by implementing the tips above and contacting SERVPRO of Wesley Chapel at (813)929-9898 for all your restoration needs.
