Commercial Flood Damage and Mitigation
10/24/2024 (Permalink)
During the wintertime, snowfall and cold temperatures can plague your neighborhood. During severe winter weather, your store could suffer from commercial flood damage due to a variety of causes. For example, a heavy snowstorm can cause deep amounts to build up outside your store's building, and then when it melts, excessive moisture can enter your structure. Cold temperatures can also cause the H2O in your pipes to freeze.
The main problem when mitigating commercial flood damage inside your store is that the different products are made from many different materials. Your store may also have areas that contain porous materials such as carpet and furniture as well as different types of flooring for example, tile or linoleum.
When snow starts to melt, or a pipe freezes and breaks, all of the flooring present inside your store could have been negatively affected. When a professional restoration company, like SERVPRO of North Rensselaer/South Washington Counties, arrive at your business, the inspection process begins. We use different tools to sense moisture travel inside. We also test humidity levels to see if products that didn’t come directly into contact with moisture are at risk.
When It comes to mitigating moisture, our technicians will extract as much water they can while it is still liquid. There are different methods we use to extract the water. If there is more than 2 inches of standing water, we can use a submersible pump to pull all of the moisture into one of your sewage drains. If there is water on top of hard surfaces we can use a mop or squeegee. When it comes to carpets we can also use a heavy duty extractor to vacuum the moisture.
If your business suffers from issues creates after the cold or a winter snowstorm, call us, SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties at 802-375-1500.

Give us a call at 802-375-1500!
Duct cleaning yearly is relatively small investment that could save you money in the long run. Plus, you could get the added benefits like breathing clean air, increase the safety and comfort of your home, and help the environment while boosting your overall peace of mind?
Preventive Maintenance Benefits.
Saving Money
Regular Duct Cleaning maintenance is said to reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%. Just like having a vehicle, if you drive over the recommended miles of an oil change, you could be asking for trouble. That is why the standards are set for regular maintenance of vehicles. Well, the same applies to duct maintenance. Cutting energy bills, extending system life, and adhering to warranty benefits are all benefits of routine duct cleaning.
Air Quality
The EPA reports that level of airborne pollutants in a home may be five times higher than outdoor levels. For anyone that suffers from respiratory issues, you are allowing yourself to be at higher risk if ducts are not cleaned properly. Unfortunately, we all share our homes with various substances that we would rather not breathe. The common indoor allergens include dust, pollen, mold, a cigarette smoke. If any of these allergens are part of daily life, you should really think about getting your duct cleaned. Therefore, preventive maintenance helps ensure that the warm or cold air pumping through your vents is as clean and well-filtered as possible.
Comfort
Typically, we depend on our air systems to keep us comfortable all year round. Hot Air in the winter and Cold in the summer. Therefore, if we think about it, generally our air systems are working every day, all day long, and all year round. Routine maintenance helps your system produce and distribute the air more evenly and steadily.
Safer home environment
We have all heard the awful stories of how someone went away on vacation and returns to a frozen, and damaged house with broken pipes, and water damage everywhere. The cost of this tragedy weighs heavily of an owner. Routine maintenance will help safeguard you against the possibility of carbon monoxide. The most common cause of carbon monoxide leaks is a cracked heat exchanger. Routine Maintenance typically includes a carbon monoxide test.
Peace of Mind
In the end, the benefits of routine duct cleaning give you the comfort of knowing that if something goes wrong, you’ve already taken the preventative measure to make any situation as painless as possible.
If you are an owner that is interested in getting a duct cleaning, Give Us a Call at 802-375-1500 or email us at Office@SERVPRO10299.com and would be happy to help you.

Water damage that isn’t handled quickly can hurt your business and cause possible closing for a period of time. Your business is at its best when fully operational. There are some ways to stay ahead of water damage by identifying some causes that are common, and addressing them before the disaster hits.
- Pipes- Having a broken pipe can lead to serious water damage in any building. Deterioration, freezing temperatures, and pressure changed can all lead to a broken pipe. On top of the water damage that this can cause and water damage untreated creates a possible mold issue.
- Improperly sealed exterior windows, doors, garages etc…- Water can find its way in even in smaller spaces like exterior exits that are not properly sealed. Even the small amounts that can get in, if left unchecked could cause mold growth and damage to wood or drywall.
- HVAC- Having a heating and cooling system is essential for keeping your business running comfortably. Unfortunately, if an HVAC system isn’t properly maintained it can cause clogged ducts or the wearing down of the ducts resulting in leaks and water damage inside of the walls and ceilings.
During the winter months when the temperatures are significantly low, that can accelerate damage to HVAC system, exterior windows, and especially pipes. It is important to routinely check your commercial building to make sure that it hasn’t been affected by ant major damage.

Tips to Prevent A Sewage Backup
9/9/2021 (Permalink)
A sewage backup is something none of us want to experience! Unfortunately, many of us will face this unexpected disaster. However, we here at SERVPRO are here to help! We have the training and expertise as well as the equipment that is needed to help you in a time like this. Our team deals with sewage backups on a weekly basis and are ready at anytime 24/7 to help you and your family during these tough times. Fortunately, there are some steps that you can take to try and reduce your hances of encountering a sewage problem.
- Do Not Pour Cooking Oil Down Your Drains
Many people think that they can dispose of cooking oil down their toilets or sink drains. However, this is one of the worst things you can do to your drains! Cooking oil hardens in your drains and make it difficult for debris to drain causing clogged pipes which can lead to sewage problems. The best practice is to dispose of cooking oil into a heat resistant container and throwing it in your trash can once it cools off.
- Maintain Your Sewage System
Check your sump pump pit regularly for debris that could be sucked up into the pump causing damage. Ensure that the filter is there in order to prevent debris from getting inside the pump. You should also periodically have a professional sewer cleaning performed to remove debris that can accumulate in your sewer lines.
- Prevent Tree Root Damage
If your sewer lines are older you make want to consider replacing them with new plastic pipes. Plastic pipes are much more resistant to damage from tree roots. If tree root problems persist you may want to periodically trim your roots or remove trees that are too close to the sewer line.
If you experience a sewage backpack in your home please do not hesitate to give us a call at 802-375-1500!

SERVPRO know First Aid Safety in the Work Place

Give us a call if you are in need of the some help. 802-375-1500
There are certain things that all businesses should have prepared, and proper first aid preparation is one of them! We here at SERVPRO of Bennington and Rutland Counties have comprised a list of first aid basics for the workplace that everyone should know/have!
First Aid Kit
A safety kit is something that every business should have. You never know when an emergency is going to happen, so you want to be prepared in case it does. There are several essentials that each emergency kit should contain. First, assorted bandages. If someone gets cut/has a wound bandages prevent dirt and debris from getting into the wound causing an infection that will prevent healing. Sterilization and ointment should also be in your kit to clean wounds/cuts. Protection such as latex gloves and resuscitation masks are important additions to your kits because it does not help the situation if the person performing the first aid gets infected.
Know the Heimlich Maneuver
The Heimlich maneuver is supposed to help someone who is choking in a foreign object. First, ask the victim if they are chocking; in an emergency, the person will usually not be able to talk.
Nosebleeds
Nosebleeds are quite common in both children and adults. You can help someone with a nosebleed by encouraging them to pinch their nostrils closed for several minutes allowing the broken vein in nose to close. Tilting the individuals head back can make the nosebleed worse.
Cardiac Compressions
The American Heart Association is the best resource to learn how to do cardiac compressions. Simply put, the American Heart Association does not mandate everyone learning the rescue breathing aspect of CPR. However, when it comes to compressions all you have to do is put your hands over the victims hear and push to the beat of “Stayin Alive” by the Bee Gees which is roughly 100 compression/min. For proper CPR training have an individual in your office or business become trained in CPR through the American Heart Association! Cardiac compressions are a simple technique that can mean the difference between life and death. Consider these facts from the American Heart Association:
- Bystander CPR can increase the victim’s chance of survival by as much as 300.
- It takes roughly 8-12 minutes for an ambulance to arrive on the scene.
- 88% of all cardiac arrests do not happen in a hospital or healthcare facility and nowhere near healthcare professionals.
Stop Heavy Bleeding
If an individual is heavily bleeding their body in unable to form a clot on its own so they could bleed out. You can stop the bleeding by putting pressure on the wound. Raising the wounded limb over the heart will also help to slow down the bleeding.
If you own a commercial property, you are responsible for what happens there. Make sure you are prepared for an emergency at any time!

April Showers Can Bring Septic System Backups to Bennington, Vermont Homes
4/30/2020 (Permalink)
April showers bring May flowers, however, here in Bennington and Rutland County, Vermont area, heavy rains can be rough on a home's septic system. On days like today, when rain is falling onto already wet ground, septic problems can be common.
When there is great deal of rain, the drain field in your yard can become saturated and stop the water from flowing out of your septic system as designed. Because the water has no exit point, it can eventually make its way back into your home. The waste water can travel back through the pipes and through your drains and toilets, causing an overflow. If you have sewage backup through one of your drains, that is a clear sign that your septic system is malfunctioning.
Other signs of a failing septic tank are:
- A Foul Odor: A clear sign that your septic tank needs inspection is the presence of odors in your house, outside near your septic tank or near the pipe ventilation system. We all know the smell of the methane gas escaping, similar to rotten eggs, so it's not hard to identify!
- Soggy Ground: Saturated areas around your septic tank may also indicate a problem. Excess moisture can be a sign that your tank is full or the drainage pipes are damaged.
- Slow Drainage: If you have a slow draining sink, tub or toilet, it is a warning sign that your septic system is malfunctioning.
- Gurgling Sounds: If you notice that there is a gurgling sound when you flush the toilet, that is a common sign of septic system failure.
- Contaminated Well Water: Well water tests that show results of high levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria are of concern, as they indicate that untreated sewage is seeping into the ground.
If you notice any of these signs in your home, we recommend that you call a septic system repair contractor to inspect your system and identify the cause. It could be a blocked line from tree roots, an improperly installed leach field, a clogged filter or a full septic tank that requires pumping. Having the problem repaired before it causes damage to your home is the goal!
In the event that there is already a backup at your home, call SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties at 802-375-1500.
Sewage floodwaters contain bacteria and pathogens that should be cleaned by restoration professionals. The SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties crew has the training and equipment to clean up and sanitize your home and belongings.
Different Causes of Commercial Water Damage

Work Place Water Damage is Restored by SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties
When business owners visualize water damage, they often picture a massive storm wiping out power lines, flooding offices, and shutting down businesses for days at a time. It is true that commercial water damage is often the result of floods and water that stems from weather events and storms.
However, many business space renters forget that storms and severe weather aren't the only causes of floods and water damage. Here are some of the typical causes of water damage to commercial buildings.
1. Malfunctioning sprinkler systems
Some older office and retail buildings still have outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems. While such sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage if they are faulty or in need of replacement. This could easily damage inventory and business assets.
2. Damaged appliances and equipment
This cause of commercial flood damage is more common in restaurants and catering facilities, as well as any business that has appliances and equipment that make use of water. If the appliance fails and sends water across your building, especially during late hours when no one is around, you may come back to work and face a water emergency.
3. Broken pipes and plumbing
Just like in a residence, if the plumbing system in your workplace fails water damage could be the result.
4. Backed up sewer lines
This is another cause of commercial water damage that often catches business owners by surprise. Should the sewer line to your building back up or become damaged, realize the potential dangers of contaminated Black Water which can cause health effects and ruin products and office furnishings.
If your business has suffered commercial water damage, SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties will get you back up and running again. Call us anytime 24/7 at (802) 375-1500 for fast help.

SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized this property in Manchester, Vermont affected by rodent droppings.
Mice infestation can be a headache for property owners in Bennington & Rutland Counties, Vermont.
With the cooler days of autumn come the chores of raking leaves and cleaning the gutters for the winter. Some wildlife get ready by storing up food for the colder days. Some—mice, for example—will plan for the upcoming winter by finding a cozy place to build their nests. And that often results in a problem for property owners. Tips: What you can do until help arrives.
Because these rodents are without a skeletal system, they can easily maneuver into tiny spaces to gain entrance to a building. Once they are in, they get behind walls, in attics, basements and crawlspaces where fluffy pink insulation provides the ideal spot for nesting. If you think rabbits multiply, mice can double in population just as easily, quickly infesting a building.
Once you begin to see evidence of mice infestation—usually in the form of tiny black feces no bigger than a sesame seed or holes chewed out of food containers in the pantry—you are going to have to address the problem. While getting rid of one or two mice is a one-person job, getting rid of many requires the expertise of a professional. While exterminators can come in and eradicate the property of the mice infestation, that is where their job ends—leaving the property owner with the cleanup. And if there were a significant number of mice inside the structure, the damage and the cleanup are going to be far more than just picking up a few droppings or throwing out food from the pantry.
How To Deter Mice From Entering Your Home

· Do not leave doors open and this includes the bulkhead.
· Keep trash in secure buckets outside & away from the house.
· Dispose of trash on a regular basis.

April Showers Can Bring Septic System Backups to Rutland, Vermont Homes
4/30/2019 (Permalink)
April showers bring May flowers, however, here in Bennington and Rutland County, Vermont area, heavy rains can be rough on a home's septic system. On days like today, when rain is falling onto already wet ground, septic problems can be common.
When there is great deal of rain, the drain field in your yard can become saturated and stop the water from flowing out of your septic system as designed. Because the water has no exit point, it can eventually make its way back into your home. The waste water can travel back through the pipes and through your drains and toilets, causing an overflow. If you have sewage backup through one of your drains, that is a clear sign that your septic system is malfunctioning.
Other signs of a failing septic tank are:
- A Foul Odor: A clear sign that your septic tank needs inspection is the presence of odors in your house, outside near your septic tank or near the pipe ventilation system. We all know the smell of the methane gas escaping, similar to rotten eggs, so it's not hard to identify!
- Soggy Ground: Saturated areas around your septic tank may also indicate a problem. Excess moisture can be a sign that your tank is full or the drainage pipes are damaged.
- Slow Drainage: If you have a slow draining sink, tub or toilet, it is a warning sign that your septic system is malfunctioning.
- Gurgling Sounds: If you notice that there is a gurgling sound when you flush the toilet, that is a common sign of septic system failure.
- Contaminated Well Water: Well water tests that show results of high levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria are of concern, as they indicate that untreated sewage is seeping into the ground.
If you notice any of these signs in your home, we recommend that you call a septic system repair contractor to inspect your system and identify the cause. It could be a blocked line from tree roots, an improperly installed leach field, a clogged filter or a full septic tank that requires pumping. Having the problem repaired before it causes damage to your home is the goal!
In the event that there is already a backup at your home, call SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties at 802-375-1500.
Sewage floodwaters contain bacteria and pathogens that should be cleaned by restoration professionals. The SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties crew has the training and equipment to clean up and sanitize your home and belongings.
Different Causes of Commercial Water Damage

Work Place Water Damage is Restored by SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties
When business owners visualize water damage, they often picture a massive storm wiping out power lines, flooding offices, and shutting down businesses for days at a time. It is true that commercial water damage is often the result of floods and water that stems from weather events and storms.
However, many business space renters forget that storms and severe weather aren't the only causes of floods and water damage. Here are some of the typical causes of water damage to commercial buildings.
1. Malfunctioning sprinkler systems
Some older office and retail buildings still have outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems. While such sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage if they are faulty or in need of replacement. This could easily damage inventory and business assets.
2. Damaged appliances and equipment
This cause of commercial flood damage is more common in restaurants and catering facilities, as well as any business that has appliances and equipment that make use of water. If the appliance fails and sends water across your building, especially during late hours when no one is around, you may come back to work and face a water emergency.
3. Broken pipes and plumbing
Just like in a residence, if the plumbing system in your workplace fails water damage could be the result.
4. Backed up sewer lines
This is another cause of commercial water damage that often catches business owners by surprise. Should the sewer line to your building back up or become damaged, realize the potential dangers of contaminated Black Water which can cause health effects and ruin products and office furnishings.
If your business has suffered commercial water damage, SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties will get you back up and running again. Call us anytime 24/7 at (802) 375-1500 for fast help.

HVAC Air Duct Cleaning servicing Stratton, Vermont
2/8/2017 (Permalink)
SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties cleaning air ducts in Stratton, Vermont.
SERVPRO of Bennington & Rutland Counties offers HVAC air duct cleaning using negative pressure to the Stratton, Vermont mountain area.
Cleaning Under Negative Pressure
As cleaning agitation proceeds inside the ductwork, dislodged particulates are sucked out of the duct and into the vacuum receptacle. Working under negative pressure prevents contamination of household air during the cleaning process as well as later, when loosened contaminants left in the ducts might infiltrate living spaces after the system is restarted. The vacuum force itself also enhances the cleaning action of the tools.
The benefits of servicing your HVAC unit include:
- Helps to restore peak energy efficiency.
- May help to eliminate offensive odors.
- Helps reduce the potential for mold growth.
For more information on HVAC and air duct cleaning, call us today, (802) 375-1500.
