Fire Safety Essentials: Crafting Emergency Plans for Warehouses and Industrial Properties | SERVPRO of Hayward
10/15/2024 (Permalink)
Protect your business with a safety plan! Contact SERVPRO® for expert guidance on fire prevention and ensure your employees and property stay safe.
In the bustling environment of Hayward, ensuring fire safety in warehouses and industrial properties is paramount. With large spaces filled with equipment, materials, and personnel, a well-structured fire safety plan is essential to protect lives and assets. Here’s how to develop a comprehensive emergency plan specifically for your industrial facility.
Identifying Fire Hazards and ResourcesThe first step in creating an effective emergency plan is to assess your warehouse or industrial property for potential fire hazards. Conduct a thorough inspection to identify areas with flammable materials, such as chemicals, packing materials, or machinery that generates heat.
Understanding your facility’s layout is crucial; ensure that escape routes are clear of obstructions and that flammable materials are stored safely. Next, evaluate your fire safety resources. Are fire extinguishers readily available and maintained? Are smoke detectors and sprinkler systems functioning properly? Knowing your risks and resources will enable you to tailor your emergency plan to your facility’s specific needs.
Developing Comprehensive Evacuation ProceduresOnce you’ve assessed risks and resources, the next step is to establish clear and effective evacuation procedures. Designate primary and secondary escape routes that are well-marked and easily accessible for all employees. Regularly review these routes and ensure they are free from obstacles that could hinder safe evacuation.
Given the nature of industrial environments, consider the diverse needs of your workforce. Implement a buddy system to assist employees who may require additional help during an evacuation. Conduct regular drills to practice these procedures, helping your team become familiar with the escape routes and boosting confidence in their ability to respond during an emergency.
Prioritizing Training and CommunicationAn essential component of your fire safety plan is ongoing training and open communication. Schedule regular training sessions that focus on fire prevention, the proper use of fire extinguishers, and emergency reporting procedures. A well-informed workforce is your best defense against potential emergencies.
Additionally, establish clear channels for employees to report hazards or safety concerns. Encourage a culture of vigilance where everyone feels empowered to voice their observations. Proactive communication can help identify and mitigate fire risks before they escalate.
Developing a fire safety plan tailored for warehouses and industrial properties is crucial for ensuring the safety of your employees and protecting your business assets. By identifying hazards, establishing comprehensive evacuation procedures, and prioritizing training and communication, you can create a robust culture of safety within your organization.
At SERVPRO of Hayward, we are dedicated to helping businesses prepare for emergencies. If you have questions about fire safety or need assistance in creating your emergency plan, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Preparing Your Commercial Property for Fall: Essential Tips | SERVPRO of Hayward
8/15/2024 (Permalink)
Preparing your commercial property for Fall is easy with these helpful tips and tricks from SERVPRO of Hayward!
With the arrival of fall, it’s time for commercial property owners in Hayward to ensure their buildings are ready for the seasonal shift. As temperatures cool and daylight hours diminish, preparing your property becomes crucial for maintaining safety, functionality, and efficiency throughout the autumn months.
HVAC and Energy EfficiencyYour HVAC system plays a pivotal role as the weather transitions. Begin by scheduling a comprehensive inspection to clean ducts, change filters, and identify any potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. Upgrading to programmable thermostats or adjusting existing settings can optimize heating schedules based on occupancy and outdoor temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency.
Addressing drafts by sealing gaps and adding insulation not only improves energy efficiency but also helps reduce heating costs. Having an emergency plan in place for HVAC issues ensures prompt response and minimal disruption.
Exterior Maintenance and Safety ChecksThe exterior of your commercial property requires attention to maintain safety and curb appeal during fall. Start by inspecting the roof for any damage or loose shingles that could lead to leaks during seasonal rains. Cleaning gutters and downspouts prevents clogging and water buildup, safeguarding against potential water damage.
Trim trees and shrubs away from the building to prevent damage from falling branches in windy weather and clear leaves and debris from walkways to prevent slips and falls. Adequate exterior lighting is essential as daylight hours decrease, promoting safety and security around your property.
Maintaining the parking lot by repairing potholes, repainting lines, and ensuring proper drainage helps prevent slippery conditions and maintains accessibility for employees and visitors alike.
Fire Safety and Emergency PreparednessAs temperatures drop, fire risks increase, making it crucial to prioritize fire safety and emergency preparedness. Regularly testing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, replacing batteries, and scheduling professional maintenance ensures they function optimally.
Review fire escape plans with employees, conduct drills to practice evacuation procedures, and ensure all staff are familiar with emergency exits. If using space heaters or other heating sources, ensure they are in good working condition and positioned away from flammable materials to minimize fire hazards.

Tackling Repairs for Damaged Hayward Businesses | SERVPRO of Hayward
2/15/2024 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Hayward is here for your business every step of the way, from ERPs to disaster recovery.
Recovering after a disaster situation can be really overwhelming, especially if that disaster happens at your business. It can derail your plans, overwhelm your staff and affect your bottom line.
Fortunately, SERVPRO of Hayward is here to help minimize the disruption by handling your recovery quickly and efficiently.
Preparing For the WorstThe best way to avoid serious damage is to be prepared for multiple scenarios. If your team knows what to do before, during and after a disaster, you can all work together seamlessly to make a full recovery no matter what happened.
One of the first things you should prioritize is communication. Make sure everyone on your team understands who will be in charge of what during a disaster and develop a chain of command so that everyone is informed of the situation as it develops.
Take a tour through your building to ensure everyone knows where important water shut-offs are located, how to safely exit your building and where to find your fire extinguishers. Create assignments amongst your staff for who is in charge of securing your building during a disaster situation.
Another important aspect of disaster preparation is knowing what to do after the disaster occurs. If your team is able to work remotely, make sure they have the tools necessary to transition seamlessly. If you are unable to do that, you should have an alternate location in mind that you can set up shop in while repairs are taking place.
Recovering the Right WayYou can rest assured that a reliable and thorough emergency plan can go a long way toward helping you avoid serious disasters. However, that doesn’t mean your business will escape completely unscathed. Calling your local SERVPRO® team can ensure a quicker recovery no matter what!
Our professional team will get right to work on your recovery so you can focus on informing your customers about the recovery process and when you plan to be back open at full capacity. Keeping your customers informed throughout the process is always better than leaving everyone in the dark.
Depending on the scale of the disaster, you might even be able to operate in your building in an abbreviated capacity! We can work with you to find the right solution and balance between productivity and the needs of a full restoration.
Planning ahead, practicing your emergency response and knowing that SERVPRO of Hayward has your back no matter what can help you overcome a disaster situation at your business quickly and confidently.

The Significance of Having an Emergency Plan | SERVPRO of Hayward
11/17/2023 (Permalink)
Are you prepared for disaster? SERVPRO of Hayward is here for you when disaster strikes!
Natural disasters can be really scary and can happen at a moment’s notice. While we are lucky enough to not experience certain situations like hurricanes or earthquakes in our area, there is always the chance that the unexpected occurs at any time.
In fact, the chance of suffering through a natural disaster has actually increased over the last five years. Natural disasters are happening more frequently and are stronger than ever, leaving behind extensive damage and destruction.
That may seem scary, but statistics aren’t everything! While we may experience a natural disaster at some point, the chance of suffering through a manmade disaster is also a possibility.
By understanding your risk and making a plan for each scenario, you can help mitigate damage and keep your staff safe.
Why Emergency Plans MatterWith the frequency of natural disasters increasing, having a plan in place can protect your staff and even control the extent of your damage. Fires, floods and even severe weather can be catastrophic if you don’t take the time to prepare for each event.
While we know that disaster situations can cause significant property damage, they can also be a strain on your financial situation. Costly damages can affect your revenue, force closures and lead to lost wages for everyone under your employment.
If the damage is significant enough, you may have to close your business for a long period of time to tend to the repairs. That always introduces the possibility of a permanent closure, and we certainly don’t want that to happen to you.
The Creation of Your Emergency Ready PlanSERVPRO® has everything you need when it comes to restoration services, but we can also help you plan for the unexpected! Our Emergency Ready Plan is a comprehensive guide that we can help you create that will assist you during any sort of disaster situation.
This plan outlines what to do before, during and after disasters. To create this guide, we will assess your business and determine the different risks and threats that you may face. For example, small storefronts will have a different risk assessment than a large warehouse that works with heat or dangerous chemicals.
Planning ahead of disasters can help you stay in control. We will outline important things like creating emergency exit routes, storage ideas for important documents and suggesting smart locations to store your fire extinguishers. Having all of these things taken care of before disaster strikes can help your response run much smoother.
Another important aspect of our Emergency Ready plan is communication. Staying connected during and after an emergency is crucial to everyone’s safety, so we take the time to identify a chain of command. Assigning important tasks to different employees can help ensure that everyone reacts appropriately and stays in control of the situation.
What are you waiting for? Planning for disasters now can set you up for a faster recovery and a less impactful situation when they do occur. An Emergency Ready Plan is the key to navigating disasters with confidence and clarity.

Is Your Staff Ready to Weather the Storm? | SERVPRO of Hayward
9/19/2023 (Permalink)
If your home or business was damaged in a storm, call SERVPRO of Hayward to get you back in action.
Owning a business is rewarding in many ways, but it is a huge responsibility. You are responsible for your daily operations, your long-term goals and an entire team of people!
In order to keep everyone safe, accounted for and on task, it is important to train them for any sort of situation that could occur at your building, including severe weather emergencies.
Don’t let your crew rush around chaotically during a severe storm! Use our tips below to help ensure your team is ready for anything that comes your way.
Preparing for the Different RisksWe are lucky enough to experience all four seasons here in northern Wisconsin, but that also means we experience severe weather during every part of the year! Strong tornadoes and high winds can cause damage in the summer and heavy snowstorms can plague the area in the winter. This past year was incredibly snowy and caused problems all over the state.
Recognizing your specific flood risk is also important for your business’ safety. Check to see if your building is located in a flood zone, and take action now so that you can react quickly if a flood warning is issued.
Your Communication StrategyIf you don’t already have your team’s contact information saved on your phone or computer, now is the time to do so. Staying connected during an emergency can help spread information quickly and efficiently.
If severe weather approaches unexpectedly, a quick text or email can alert your staff to the emergency exits, your safe shelter location or your emergency kit. You can also use it to designate certain jobs to trusted staff members to help ensure a transition from a normal work day to an emergency situation.
Whether to Stay Put or Get OutDifferent weather situations require different reactions. Sometimes an evacuation is necessary to get your staff out quickly. Walk your team through your building and discuss emergency exit routes, and ensure all exits are labeled properly.
In other situations, staying put may be necessary to keep everyone safe. Ensure that your safe shelter location is ready to use at any moment! Have food, water and your emergency kit set out and ready.
Whether you are ushering your team out or keeping them comfortable inside during a storm, keep them calm. A smooth and proper reaction to an emergency can help keep everyone safe while you wait out the storm together.
Don’t let extreme weather take control! If storms strike your business, SERVPRO® can help you restore your losses.

1/27/2022 (Permalink)
How quickly your business can be up and running again after a tornado, fire or flood can heavily depend on the emergency planning done today. Review the following questions to determine whether or not your business is prepared.
Do you know what kind of emergencies could affect your company and what you would do in each emergency situation?
Do know which staff, procedures and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep your business operating? Do you have backup plans for those operations? What if your building isn’t accessible or if suppliers or utilities are impacted by a disaster?
Do you have an evacuation plan and shelter in place?
These questions are just the basics when it comes to being prepared for a disaster at your business. If you would like to get your business prepared, contact SERVPRO of Hayward at 715-634-0699. We can help you design an Emergency Readiness Plan (ERP) that will help get your business up and running quickly after a disaster.
Document Drying
1/27/2022 (Permalink)
If your business experiences a water damage or flood, what will happen to all of your documents? Many businesses are required to save document for a certain amount of time and these documents tend to be stored in boxes. They are often store in the basement. What happens if these documents end up underwater or at the very least, wet?
Call SERVPRO of Hayward. We have the solution for your document problem! SERVPRO has some very efficient document drying processes that will save your documents no matter how they’re affected. These processes include sublimation (freeze drying), cleaning, digitization, deodorization and sterilization if mold has occurred.
Sublimation is the process in which a substance is converted directly from a solid to a gas or from a gas to a solid without an intermediate liquid phase. Think of dry ice here. When it is exposed to normal conditions, it will begin to sublimate. It goes directly from a solid form to gaseous form, but is never a liquid.
SERVPRO of Hayward starts the document handling process by carefully packing your documents and then freezing them. This stabilizes the document and prevents further damage. Once they are frozen, they will be shipped to the SERVPRO headquarters for the professionals there to run them through the Vacuum Freeze Drying Chamber. This is the only method approved by the National Archives and Records Administration and the General Services Administration.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to SERVPRO of Hayward if you have any questions about document drying or have a water damage and need documents dried! 715-634-0699

Do you know what you are breathing in every time you inhale? Do you know what is coming out of your air ducts every time your heat or air conditioning turns on?

WELL let me tell you about another one of our services we have to offer you here at SERVPRO of Hayward. OUR DUCT CLEANING!!!!!
This process begins by using patented equipment including a roto scrapper, which automatically fits you duct shape while traveling through the duct removing all dust and debris before we begin the vacuuming process. Next a powerful push-pull air delivery and collection system transfers the debris to a 16-gallon collection container. Air is filtered through a HEPA filtration system, removing 99.97% of the particles in the air stream. HEPA filters capture debris and keep the inside air clean
An optional process is a sealant or coating product may be sprayed to address odor or microbial concerns. The filters will either be cleaned or replaced to remove dirt or odor.

Prevention tips for your business in Polk County: Water Pipe Bursts
12/11/2019 (Permalink)
It goes without saying that any business owner would want to prevent the stressful (and often expensive) experience of having a burst pipe flood your business. So, how can you prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting in the future?
The most effective prevention tips include:
- Adding insulation to unheated areas with pipes, an unfinished basement or the attic or storage areas.
- Insulating pipes themselves, using foam tubing.
- Keeping a consistent temperature set on your thermostat, and never letting your business temperature dip lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Letting cold water drip from your faucets when temperatures are below freezing.
If you suspect a frozen pipe, try thawing it using a hairdryer or space heater before the pipe bursts.
If the pipe burst because it froze, take steps to insulate water supply pipes and outside walls that have pipes inside them. If the pipe simply failed and did not freeze, ask the plumber why he thinks it happened and get his advice for avoiding future problems. Depending on the age of your building, your water supply pipes could be made of cast iron, lead, copper, PVC, or PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing. Each material has its strengths and weaknesses, and an experienced plumber can provide good advice and guidance for avoiding future failures.

Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches. Weather, such as wind, heavy rain, ice and snow, can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries.
Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.

Document Drying
11/6/2018 (Permalink)
If your commercial property or place of business is in the midst of a disaster, who is taking care of your documents?
A lot of times at businesses we are required to save documents for a length of time, and where do those documents tend to get stored? In a basement or box? What if those documents are under water or a fire has occurred, are you just going to through them away?
At SERVPRO of Hayward, we are able to take care of that problem for you. We are able to send these documents off to do what we call document drying. There are many forms of this depending on how your documents are affected. We are able to do freeze drying, cleaning, digitization, deodorization, and sterilize these documents if mold has occurred. With the understanding that not every document will never look the same or new again, we are able to save them so you don’t have to throw them away. Mind you the faster we get to these items the faster we can get them to the proper method to save them and get them stabilized.
So what is your plan for your business, schools, banks, government buildings, and hospitals? Give us a call at 715-634-0699 to see what we can do for you. No worries our corporate SERVPRO where these documents get sent off to are also HIPAA certified, so if you are a hospital or care facility they are safe with us.
