What are the Differences Between Mitigation and Restoration?
3/31/2021 (Permalink)
Look for the SERVPRO of Glenview sign on our building on the south side of Willow Road just east of the bridge between Patriot Blvd and Old Willow Rd.
Small business owners have a lot to deal with, but dealing with a disaster in the workplace is the last thing a business owner wants to do. Despite your best efforts and preparation, you cannot prevent all types of incidents from occurring. If a major storm or other water loss causes excessive damage to your building, you will need to rely on a skilled professional flood cleanup company such as SERVPRO of Glenview to help your business get back on its feet. There are two major components of this process: mitigation and restoration.
Advantages of Calling the Pros
For minor damage issues in the workplace, you can probably handle the cleanup yourself. However, you should call a restoration company like SERVPRO when there is standing water or when the damage covers a large area. Professional crews offer the following:
- Experience and expertise cleaning up after storm or other water damage
- The right tools and equipment to clean up and mitigate the damage so restoration to your building can begin
- Timely response and quick results from our professional crew
Understanding Mitigation
Disaster response companies will first inspect the affected area and formulate a plan, to be approved by you before mitigation begins. Depending on the size and scope of the damage in your building, technicians can complete the mitigation process in a matter of hours or it may take several days. Crews will remove all water from the building and also any water-damaged materials (including contents as well as structural material such as drywall, ceilings, or flooring) which cannot be salvaged by the drying process. Then, using high-powered fans and dehumidifiers, team members will totally dry the affected area. After the cleanup and mitigation is complete, SERVPRO will sanitize all surfaces to kill any remaining bacteria and cleanup the mitigated area.
Understanding Restoration
Compared to the mitigation process, the restoration effort typically takes much more time. The restoration is the entire process of restoring your building to its previous pre-disaster condition. Restoration includes rebuilding and replacing that which was removed during mitigation. This can include: rebuilding structural components such as the roof, ceilings, walls, or floors; repairing or replacing drywall that was torn out and finishing it (priming and painting it); replacing flooring or installing new carpet. None of the restoration will begin until crews have completed all aspects of mitigation, including the drying process.
In catastrophic flooding and storm damage, the company may have to rebuild your building from scratch. If you choose the right flood cleanup company in Glenview, you can feel good about returning to your building and getting back to business. The company you choose will help make your workplace safe once more, even after the most severe damage. Trust the experience and expertise of the team at SERVPRO of Glenview to take care of your business because we are Ready For Whatever Happens.

SERVPRO Emergency Ready Plan Mobile App
There are plenty of things small business owners have to worry about when running a business. However, how to handle an emergency should not be one of those concerns. Take a look at SERVPRO's Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) and see how your small business can be better prepared.
What is the SERVPRO ERP?
Disasters. Accidents. Catastrophes. They all happen. Unfortunately, they cannot be prevented, which means it is imperative to have an emergency plan set, just in case an unexpected event occurs. The SERVPRO Emergency Ready Plan application works to prevent an emergency situation from escalating. The app, designed for commercial use, is marketed towards business owners as well as property and risk managers. The SERVPRO ERP works on the premise that the more you know what to do and what to expect in advance of any kind of emergency is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water, storm, and fire damage can affect your business. Our ERP includes the following:
- A no-cost assessment of your facility/property
- A concise Profile Document which contains only the critical information needed in the event of an emergency
- A guide to help you get back into your building following a disaster
- SERVPRO of Glenview is established as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider
- Identification of the line of command for authorizing work to begin
- Facility details provided, such as water shut-off valve locations, priority areas, and priority contact information
Is it necessary for small businesses to have a plan?
As many as 50% of businesses experiencing a disaster close down, according to the latest research. Of the businesses that survive, the overwhelming majority of them had a preparedness plan in place. Pre-planning can serve as an insurance policy aimed at peace of mind. And knowing you are "Ready for whatever happens" speaks trust to your clients and employees, that in the event your business is affected by a disaster, they do not necessarily have to be impacted. If you prepare for the future, you will save early for disaster costs. Utilizing tools to prevent damage, to prevent loss, and to prevent losing your business to a disaster is one of the best ways to ensure the "health" of what you own or manage.
Can SERVPRO help with commercial damage?
SERVPRO of Glenview has a highly trained staff that is able to help with any remediation needs you may have! We offer remediation for water, fire, mold, and storm damage, and more. We can also help with other situations, such as vandalism, crime scene cleanup, COVID cleaning, or other biohazard issues. In addition, we can assist with your everyday commercial cleaning needs.

Is Your Business Prepared, Should a Disaster Occur?
11/2/2020 (Permalink)
Reduce the impact of disaster on your business with a personalized Emergency READY Profile from SERVPRO.
There is no question that 2020 has been a rough year for small businesses. Each month, the COVID pandemic has impacted businesses, from the number of people staying home and not frequenting places of business, to imposed restrictions on how and when your place of business could be open, the financial reports for businesses certainly look much different this year.
Pandemic-related concerns aside though, as a small business owner, have you given any thought to how your business would survive if a disaster should occur?
It is estimated that up to 50% of businesses never repoen after they have been closed due to a disaster such as a fire or flood. Disaster can strike in the blink of an eye and when it does, those who are prepared for it can bounce back much quicker than those who have no plan in place.
SERVPRO of Glenview can help you business get back on track after a disaster by providing the necessary cleanup and restoration following water, storm, or fire damage. The mitigation and remediation efforts to restore your business to pre-disaster condition are a vital service we provide.
However, a key component for making it through any size disaster is preparation. Whether your commercial property experiences a small water leak, a large fire, or an area-wide flood, the best time to plan for such events is well before they even happen!
This is where SERVPRO of Glenview comes in! We can help your business be prepared by developing your personalized Emergency READY Profile (ERP), a quick reference of important building and contact information that serves as an ideal supplement to your existing contingency program.
Because every hour lost cleaning and restoring your property after a disaster is an hour of lost revenue, we can help minimize the damage a disaster may cause by helping you be best prepared to face a disaster.
Call SERVPRO of Glenview at 847-832-9300 to schedule our no-cost visit to assess your business or commercial property, where we can help develop your personalized Emergency READY Profile. Benefit from SERVPRO's 50+ years of experience in reducing the impact of any natural or man-made disasters on your business.

How Do You Choose the Right Company to Restore you Commercial Property?

You can be confident that SERVPRO will get you back up and running!
You can depend on SERVPRO to be there when you need us!
When it comes to small pipe leaks, or drywall repair, most business owners think that they can probably handle that themselves. When it comes to your entire building flooding or experiencing a fire, you would have to call a professional restoration company. But who do you choose? With the amount of restoration companies popping up daily, it’s hard to choose who would be the best to hire. When hiring a restoration company, keep certain things in mind.
Go to their website
This may sound a little scary, given the amount of scams and false information on the internet, but you will know immediately if their website is legit. Some things to think about would be links to their services. Look to see if they have links that talk about fire or water damage, and the process that is performed in these services. If it is a professional website, it will be clear, concise, and informative.
Give them a call and quiz them
Once you have reviewed the websites, come up with a few questions you may have for the company. If they are professionals, they should be able to answer the questions without asking the manager, or putting you on hold. They should be able to give you clear examples of how they have worked with these issues in the past. If they become annoyed, or frustrated, then you know they are not the ones for you! Professionals need to be compassionate towards their customers, because they are already dealing with a mess.
Read the Testimonials
Yelp, Google, and Facebook are great ways to read the testimonials of the restoration company you are potentially going to be hiring. Companies can never delete these reviews, they can only receive good reviews to counteract the bad ones, which makes it a very accurate depiction of what kind of company you may be dealing with. Look at the good and bad reviews and make a educated assessment on the type of company they may be.
