Commercial Maintenance Check Up
3/24/2022 (Permalink)
No matter how big or small the damage is, SERVPRO of Victoria is always here to help!
It is very important to keep up with your commercial maintenance needs because this can prevent crucial damages to your property. Taking a look at the hot water heater to see when the last time it was replaced or checking the condensation lines coming from your air conditioning unit is a quick and easy preventative measure. These are just some of the things you can check to prevent damage to your business.
Most water damages come from a preventable source such as the hot water heater, air conditioning condensation line, or sometimes even from a leaking faucet in the break room. With hot water heaters, you should replace them every 8–10 years. A replacement will vary with the severity of your local weather, the design of the unit, the quality of installation, and the maintenance your unit has received. With an air conditioner condensation line we would recommend cleaning it once a year to maintain a blockage free line.
Performing these two quick and easy checks can go a long way in preventing any potential issues. If you have any questions about mold remediation, feel free to contact SERVPRO of Victoria

If your business suffers from fire damage, give our team of experts a call at SERVPRO of Victoria!
No matter how big or small a fire is, a workplace fire could be catastrophic for your business. Fire drills are an important part of working in a commercial building as they can keep people safe in case of an emergency. However, they are often ignored. To prevent any employees from getting injured or fatalities, it’s important to be prepared. Here are a few fire drill tips for the workplace to take seriously and limit confusion in case of a fire emergency.
- Prepare an evacuation plan
It is important to come up with a plan. By creating a plan, it is important to be as detailed as possible to create little to no confusion. Outline exit routes in the building and make a clear outline of actions that employees will need to take to get to the escape destination. Ensure the plan includes the phone number for commercial building restoration services as well.
- Train and communicate with your employees
Once the plan has been created, introduce the fire drill to the staff. Help the team understand the importance of the fire drill and ensure to follow the foolproof plan. Before the first fire drill starts, it is important to communicate with the staff. This will prepare them to act in accordance with the set procedure.
- Practice
By running drills, you can feel prepared in case of an actual fire. During these practices, runs be sure to set some goals. A goal should be set to identify how well the evacuation plan works. After the drill is complete assess the metrics to help improve the performance the next time a fire drill is conducted.
- Follow up
Once a run-through of the drill has taken place, be sure to follow up on any corrections. Revisit the plan and make any adjustments needed.

HVAC Commercial Fire

Safety is important, get your HVAC's checked regularly to avoid any fire damage!
Here at SERVPRO of Victoria, safety is important to us when dealing with a fire emergency. After a fire emergency, our team is dedicated to responding immediately to business after a fire to help prevent any secondary damage. Following a fire, our crew takes close attention to the HVAC system and ductwork. HVAC fire hazards are present at any time of the year. Fortunately, many of these risks are preventable.
The Top HVAC Fire Hazards:
- Old, corroded, or broken parts: This problem often stems from an HVAC unit that is not regularly serviced. Problems with essential parts can lead to decreased efficiency and can potentially lead to potential fire hazards.
- Items are stored too close to the HVAC unit: The HVAC unit itself produces a considerable amount of heat. Storing combustible items such as boxes, paper, motor oil, and chemicals too close to the unit creates a high-risk environment for a fire.
- Problems with connections or gas pressure: Problems with connections in a gas furnace can lead to toxic gas being released into the home, leading to both health and fire hazards.
- Electrical problems: Whether the unit has a loose cord connection, a frayed cord, an old cord that overheats, or another issue, electrical problems with HVAC units can easily spark furnace fires.
- Leaking fuel line: This can be a harder problem to spot since many fuel lines are located inside or behind the unit. Yearly inspections can help catch old, at-risk fuel lines before they start leaking and posing a major fire hazard.
- Improper installation: When an HVAC unit is installed improperly, it can lead to many problems such as reduced airflow and efficiency, and increased costs. Improper installation can also cause serious problems such as carbon monoxide poisoning and fire hazards.
SERVPRO of Victoria is always here to help 24/7. Our team understands the stress and worry that comes with fire or water damage and the disruption it causes your life and home or business.

Small Water Damages Become Nightmare for Business
1/8/2020 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Victoria has the equipment to help dry out the affected areas in your business!
What happens when those small water damages go unnoticed, or moisture soaks into a building’s structural components where it cannot be detected by the naked eye? These incidents may sound relatively harmless, but given time, excess moisture can lead to serious problems.
In as little as 24 to 48 hours, microscopic mold spores, naturally present in all structures, can grow into visible mold. Fueled by the moisture, these fungi feed on a variety of building subcomponents including wood, paint, paper, carpet padding, and contents.
While the debate rages on regarding impact mold have on human health, mold and mildew growth are recognized as major contributors to indoor air quality problems. These nightmares happen every day as a direct result of those small water damages that gradually take their toll on buildings and homes. The recipe for disaster is the combination of excess moisture, a food source for mold found in organic building materials (such as wood, drywall, some types of insulation), and a time delay in removing the moisture.
