Our SERVPRO of South Pasadena team is proud to offer our restoration and cleaning services to the businesses and commercial properties in our community. 

24/7 Restoration Assistance

Whether you discover a flooded basement at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning or your back kitchen catches on fire during the dinner rush, our team understands that every disaster situation is time-sensitive when it comes to businesses. Even just a few days of closure while the repairs are taking place can be really costly for everyone involved. 

We have a large-loss recovery team ready to jump into action for you day and night. We will arrive quickly as soon as you call us, and we can get to work on drying out, cleaning and repairing any damage done to your building or property. We have worked with hotels, restaurants, office spaces, gyms and other facilities, and we can work with your building, too. 

Our Top-Notch Cleaning Services

We are also able to help keep your business clean! We know that cleaning duties are a less glamorous part of running a business, which is why we will happily take them off your hands for you. We can come out for general cleanings every so often, or we can offer our specialized services based on your needs. 

Our crew can deep-clean your carpets, remove dust and debris from your air ducts, tackle stubborn smoke or mildew odors and even clean your upholstery or drapes. We can do it all, and we will with smiles on our faces!

Hazards and Reconstruction

Sometimes the unexpected can happen on your property, which can be really frustrating and even sometimes traumatic to deal with. Our crew understands the sensitive nature of biohazard substances, and we will work quickly and carefully to help you overcome situations like bloodborne pathogens, vandalism, crime scene residue and sewage leaks.

Our expertise doesn’t stop there! We are also considered a full-service construction company, so if you are ready to finally tackle that new addition on your building or your showroom is finally getting the makeover you always wanted, we can handle your entire construction process from pulling the permits to every nail hammered and every wall constructed.

Tips for Uncovering a Sewage Leak | SERVPRO of South Pasadena

11/21/2023 (Permalink)

When a sewage issue arises in your home, SERVPRO of South Pasadena is here to take it down. Contact us now!

Picture this: You are going about your day getting everyone up and out the door of your home and things seem to be going smoothly until you arrive at work. When you unlock the doors, you are hit with an overwhelming smell of what seems to be sewage.

Upon investigation, you discover that a sewage line in the back of your warehouse busted overnight and now there is a huge mess and disaster situation to deal with. Now what? That’s where we come in! 

SERVPROof South Pasadena has a highly trained sewage cleanup crew that can come out to your property right away to contain and clean up the area.

Different Kinds of Water

Water leaks can happen all over your property, but that doesn’t automatically make them toxic situations. 

White water is the type of water that is flowing out of your sinks and faucets and is meant to be consumed. Gray water is the wastewater used after doing things like brushing your teeth, running a load of laundry or washing your hands. It can still be handled, but must be done so safely to avoid ingesting it. 

Black water is where it gets to be really dangerous. Black water is the category of water where toxic substances have been introduced to the water. Bloodborne pathogens, sewage and chemical runoff can make this water dangerous to consume or handle.

Discovering the Leak 

It may be your first instinct to jump right into the situation and try to locate the leak and tackle the cleanup yourself, but we really don’t recommend that you do that. Sewage water can be dangerous or even deadly to handle. You could be creating a worse problem for yourself and your staff if you try to deal with it alone. 

The first thing you should do is locate any water valves that could be pumping more water into the area and shut them off. This can at least stop the problem from getting worse at the moment. 

Then you should section off the area and inform your staff of the situation so that they can help make sure other team members and potential customers avoid the area completely. Now it’s time to get us on the phone!

Where We Can Help

Our crew will come out right away to evaluate the situation and make some quick decisions. We will focus on keeping everyone safe while working hard to discover the source of the leak or the problem that caused the sewage to pour onto your floor. 

Once the repairs are identified, we can get to work cleaning, sanitizing and restoring the entire area. We will remove the sewage, clean the entire area and employ deodorizers to tackle any lingering unpleasant smells. 

Let us handle the mess! We have the necessary tools and protective equipment to stay safe while we work, so leave the sewage to us so you can focus on keeping everyone else safe around you. 

Sewage leaks can be dangerous to clean up on your own. Call SERVPRO Of South Pasadena so we can handle it for you

Be Aware of Your Backyard Fire Hazards | SERVPRO® of South Pasadena

5/19/2023 (Permalink)

If a backyard barbecue turns into a backyard disaster, call SERVPRO of South Pasadena to help get you back to the great outdoors.

The summer season will be here soon, and we are already looking forward to it! We love the South Pasadena community no matter what season it is, but summer around town is pretty special.

There’s nothing better than making memories with your family during a backyard BBQ or enjoying a bonfire in the driveway using your portable fire pit. However, many of the summer activities we all enjoy carry their own fire risk, so it is important that you are being responsible around any flame or fire hazard this summer.

We explain some preventive steps to take below, so read on to stay informed and fire-safe.

The Fun That Uses Fire

Open flame always carries a risk of getting out of control. This is especially true when it comes to grills and bonfires of any type.

Did you know that grills are responsible for nearly 9,000 home fires every year? Before you light up your grill or open your gas lines, be sure to check for leaks or dents in your tanks.

If you like to enjoy a bonfire every so often, choose a smart location for your fire pit. Stay far away from your home or garage, and only use matches or lighters to start your fire.

Any sort of chemical accelerant can create a dangerous situation very fast. If you have one of those driveway pits, place it on a level spot on your driveway, and never on a wooden deck or underneath your garage’s overhang.

Fire Risk Around the House

If you have gas cans in your shed or garage, be sure they are being stored correctly and are not leaking. You should also only ever store gas in approved containers. Storing it in a container of your own choosing creates unsafe conditions and can become fuel for a fire quickly.

While it is possible to burn yard waste in the state of Texas, it needs to happen safely and responsibly in order to keep your fire under control. The burn pile needs to be far away from your home or outbuildings and all rules and regulations need to be followed.

Staying Safe Around Flame

Before you light a fire of any kind, be sure that you are understanding the current weather conditions and be aware of any type of burning ban or restriction. If the conditions are unsafe or questionable, save the flame for another day.

If you do experience fire damage to your house or property, SERVPRO of South Pasadena is here to help with your recovery. We will walk you through every step of the process, from cleaning and sanitizing to repairing wall or floor damage.

Don’t let fire damage keep you down! If you need assistance with fire damage restoration, call SERVPRO of South Pasadena.

We Clean Medical Facilities

1/16/2023 (Permalink)

If you're looking for a locally owned and operated experienced commercial cleaning company for your medical office, call us at (713) 472-4162.

During the winter months, doctors' offices, urgent care facilities and hospitals are busy with adults and children with colds and flu. It is important that these facilities are cleaned nightly to spread any of the viruses that walk through the door. Did you know that on average, adults get two to three colds per year and children might come down with as many as six to 10, according to the CDC, prompting millions of visits to healthcare providers annually.

Not only is important for the facilities to be clean for the sick patients, but for the doctors, nurses and administrative staff to stay healthy. The staff members likely do a routing cleaning before and after patients are in the procedure rooms a commercial cleaner can sanitize to reduce germs and disinfect to kill germs.

A nightly routine done by commercial cleaning is vital for facilities that need sanitizing and disinfecting to protect patients and staff from contagions that can linger on surfaces such as door handles, counter-tops, toilets, sink handles and other high-contact areas. Areas that require extra cleaning in medical facilities:

• Lobby and Waiting Areas
• Examination Rooms
• Procedure Rooms
• Corridors
• Bathrooms
• Administration Areas
• Check in Area

Beyond fighting germs, medical facilities must present a pristine appearance to gain the trust of patients and families. Commercial cleaners can properly and routinely maintain other areas in medical facilities as well. Keeping your medical facility clean and healthy is a top priority for SERVPRO. Your patients are counting on you to protect them. If you're looking for a locally owned and operated experienced commercial cleaning company for your medical office, call us at (713) 472-4162 to receive your free estimate.

Tips to Prevent Pipes Bursting

12/21/2022 (Permalink)

Prevent frozen pipes.

We don’t want you to have to use SERVPRO’s services and fight another battle besides the cold temperatures. SERVPRO recommends the easiest thing to do is to simply increase the temperature inside your home a few degrees. Yes, you are going to pay more on your utility bill, but it is certainly cheaper than a large disaster response on your home. Opening cabinets to allow heat to reach the pipes and leaving a faucet on a small drip, unless you are in a mobile home, can help prevent pipes from bursting and causing water damage.If a home is vacant, it’s also important to make sure the heat isn’t completely off. You should maintain at least a minimum temperature at 55 degrees in a vacant property to prevent any problems. If you ignore these helpful tips or just need SERVPRO’s services, check out our website.https://www.SERVPROsouthpasadena.com/?utm_medium=yext... Call Kimberly at (281) 520-8197Office (713) 472-4162
