Commercial Duct Work Cleaning

4/29/2022 (Permalink)

Is my duct work dirty? Should I have it checked?

The ventilation system within your commercial space is key to your air quality.

Estimates made by the World Health Organization say that poor indoor air quality cost $60 Billion in employee sick leave and lost production.

Poor air quality can spread illness, cause respiratory irritation, and cause employees to feel drowsy or apathetic. In some cases, it can spread illness and cause employees to become sick frequently.

You don’t want to keep the air in your commercial space too dry nor too humid. Both ends of the humidity spectrum cause health issues and can make your staff uncomfortable. Instead, try to keep the humidity level in your building between 40 and 50 percent.

The ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality. Inspecting the ductwork must be a high priority.

In most cases, the HVAC system has been operating for some time without much attention. Dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold and irritating dust throughout your office building.

Another problem that affects ductwork in commercial businesses is when input and output vents become blocked by boxes, equipment, furniture or dust. This reduces the free flow of air through ducting systems and, by association, reduces air circulation throughout the entire commercial building.

Part of your responsibility to the tenants, workers, and/or students who work and play in your buildings includes proper maintenance and prompt response to any situation that could cause illness or health concerns.

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton can help:

  • Remediate bacteria, fungi and mold
  • Reduce potential for mold growth
  • Restore peak energy efficiency
  • Eliminate offensive odors

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton will inspect your HVAC system and ductwork. This inspection can save you money and provide peace of mind on the health of your HVAC system and ductwork.

Commercial flooding

image of man wiping up excess water in commercial space local businesses suffer from flooding

2022 has been a wet one.

Between the rain and snow storms, now the snow melting; we have been inundated with water losses.

Spring has sprung and local businesses have been dealing with one water loss after another.

What are some of the things that SERVPRO can do when my business suffers storm damage?

Flooded business dry Out:

  • Pump Deep Water
  • Carpet Water removal
  • Moisture Test walls
  • Set up Drying Equipment
  • Apply Antimicrobials
  • Test Drying Complete

Acting quickly is key!

Leaving water or moisture can cause damage to the rest of the structure as well as where the damage occurred. Imagine the condensation that could happen when it's 90* outside.

The concrete or cement blocks used to construct basements and buildings are susceptible to mold growth as well as odor.

Imagine all of the exposed framing. Framing lumber does and will absorb moisture and thus, grow mold. The metal framing ties may not be porous enough for mold growth; but they will corrode.

How about the plumbing and wiring?

Again, any metal parts can and most likely will corrode with excess moisture in the air.

The insulation! Perfect for mold growth!

SERVPRO of Lebanon / Hanover / Littleton has the training, experience, and equipment to handle large commercial flooding or water damage emergencies.

Whether your water emergency occurs in a small office building or big box store, we will respond quickly to mitigate the damage and manage the restoration project through to its completion.

If you have a flooding situation, SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton are prepared and ready! Call 603-298-6942 24hours a day, 365 days a year!

Chemical Spill and Biohazard Cleanup..What's it all about?

10/25/2021 (Permalink)

Many companies and even homes have potentially dangerous chemicals in them, Do you know what to do if exposed to them?

Exposure to biological and chemical contaminants can pose serious health effects.

A failure to properly remove such substances can contribute to unhealthy and dangerous environments.

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton have professionals trained to safely clean and remove bio hazardous substances and dispose of them in accordance with OSHA and all health regulations.

Preparedness is essential. 

Familiarize yourself and your employees with these simple steps in the case of a spill:

  • Make sure everyone is alerted to the spill
  • Determine the chemical nature of the spill and check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Remember that sometimes determining whether or not a waste is a “hazardous waste” is difficult, and that the best policy is to assume all chemicals should be handled as hazardous waste.
  • Make sure any electrical and spark producing equipment is turned off.
  • If there’s fire, use the proper fire extinguisher right away.
  • If appropriate, outfit yourself and employees in protective equipment or hazmat gear, including respirator, safety goggles and gloves.
  • If needed, evacuate yourself and your employees. If the chemical spilled is toxic, volatile, or flammable, evacuation should be carried out immediately.
  • If the chemical spilled is hazardous or highly toxic, alert all appropriate authorities and call 911
  • In the case of a small spill, create a barrier around the spill with absorbent materials such as paper towels, vermiculite, or sand.
  • Put up signs to prevent access to the contaminated area and warn of danger.

If your business has a policy or plan in place for these kinds of events, make sure you know it well!

If you do not have a plan of action in place or need a more comprehensive and detailed plan to go along with what you already have; contact SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton and we will provide you with an Emergency Readiness Profile at no cost to your business.


Biohazard emergencies don't always occur during the day or during your regular hours of business!

That's why, SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and can be reached at 603-298-6942

Ice Dams are on their way!

10/30/2020 (Permalink)

picture of a lot of icicles hanging off of house Ice Dams are on their way!

Winter sure is closing in here in the northeast! We've had our first snow in October!

This is the time to be extra vigilant when it comes to ice dams at your business.

Ice dams occur after a heavy snowfall when warm air in the attic causes the roof to warm and the snow to melt. Water running down the roof refreezes when it reaches the colder roof edge, forming a mound of ice. The ice traps meltwater, which can seep back up under shingles and drip through the roof into your house, causing wet and stained ceilings and walls, and peeling paint and rot.


The easiest way to prevent ice dams is by keeping your roof cold.

This means never letting your roof temperature exceed 32 degrees. At 32 degrees,snow starts melting.

Most businesses heat loss is through the roof and air leaks caused by unblocked walls, gaps in drywall, and cracks around light fixtures, plumbing pipes, chimneys or heating vents.

Leaks can be very difficult to take care of because that requires that you roll back or rake your insulation back to find and block leaks.Typically using a foam or another method of caulking.


Proper insulation is imperative.

You will want to start by making sure to measure your insulation. Building codes require about 12 to 14 in. of fiberglass or cellulose.

Add more if you have less than 8 in. and have had ice dam problems in the past.

Blown-in cellulose and fiberglass are usually better than hand-placed batts, because they fill more tightly around rafters, joists and other obstructions, leaving fewer gaps.


Ventilation is important for keeping your roof cold.

Keep the roof cold to minimize ice dams. Upgrade attic insulation to about R-40, plug up air leaks to the attic and improve attic ventilation.

A cold roof isn’t always a perfect solution. During winters with heavy snowfall, you may get ice dams anyway. Or ice dams may consistently form at the foot of roof valleys (the junction where two roofs meet at a right angle), because they fill with windblown snow. And some sections of the roof may be impossible to keep cold. That’s when you have to call on secondary strategies to prevent ice dam damage.


Make sure the snow is removed from your roof after a heavy snowfall.


Flash around chimney
A lot of local small businesses in our area are older renovated homes, where chimneys are prevalent.

Bridge the gap between chimney and house framing with L-shaped steel flashing held in place with unbroken beads of a fire-stop sealant.


Using canned spray foam or insulation isn't fire safe.

Sometimes despite all of your efforts, ice dams occur and with them water damage to your business.

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton has experienced technicians ready to help if you suffer water damage to your business. No disaster is too big or small!

Tips for preventing water leaks at your business, What to look for!

2/17/2020 (Permalink)

Suffering a water loss at your place of business can be devastating!

Water remediation takes time and you may find yourself having to send your employees home for the clean up and very often the business has to shut down for the duration of the drying process.

This can be very costly to business owners, not to mention the likely damage to important records, files and equipment.

There are some things that you can do to give yourself the upper hand in preventing a leak:

Firstly, knowing where potential leaks could occur in your business is very helpful in developing a checklist of areas to be regularly checked.

Roofing is an important place to start.

Check for missing or damaged roof materials often.

During the Winter months be sure to check for ice dams as they will allow water to leak into your roof and attic space. Having adequate insulation will help extend the life of the roof and help prevent ice dams.

Exposure to the winds and rains of Summer storms and the wind and snow of Winter storms means that your roof is ALWAYS under attack by the elements.

Appliances are another place where water often leaks.

Appliances such as air conditioning units, water heaters, refrigerators, dish and clothes washers. Any appliance that has water hooked up to it.

Appliances should be kept up to date, over time appliances become less effective and where there is water, rust will occur. This will cause a breakdown of the appliance, leading to leaks.

Checking pipes and drains on a regular basis is critical.

Pipes should be wrapped if they are on outside walls that are exposed to the cold. A pipe that has burst can leak hundreds of gallons of water in no time!

Know where the main shut off valve is for the water!

Drains should be regularly checked as they can clog easily leading to overflow and leaks. Make sure to check all hose connections.

Having a regular maintenance schedule will help keep you on top of these things and help prevent a disaster!

Having an Emergency Ready Profile is a great tool to have in your arsenal!

If you would like some help setting up an "Emergency Ready Profile" for your business, call us today at 603-298-6942.

Commercial Smoke and Soot Cleanup

10/21/2019 (Permalink)

three bright green servpro work vehicles in front of business SERVPRO is here!

If a business sustains a fire, it is important that you get the proper clean up so the soot, ash and water do not wreak havoc on what is left.

It is bad enough there was a fire, but the water and chemicals used to put the fire out can cause secondary damage.

Smoke and soot is very invasive and can penetrate various cavities within your business, causing hidden damage and odor. Smoke and soot leave their own set of problems in their wake. Let's learn about them!

Some facts about Smoke and Soot!

Hot smoke migrates to cooler areas and rises.

Smoke flows around plumbing systems, seeping through the holes used by pipes to go from floor to floor.

Different Types of Smoke

There are two different types of smoke; wet and dry smoke. Which means, there are different types of soot residue after a fire. 

Wet Smoke 

  • Plastic and Rubber
  • Low heat, smoldering, strong odor and sticky. Smoke webs are more difficult to clean.

Dry Smoke

  • Paper and Wood
  • Fast burning, high temperatures, heat rises therefore smoke rises.

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton will test the soot to determine which type of smoke damage has occurred before determining which cleaning procedures will be used.

man kneeling on floor pouring cleaning solution into bucket Does your ductwork need help?

Fall is here and that means Winter is right around the corner!

When Vandalism Strikes!

Graffiti!

Graffiti is a form of visual communication, usually illegal, involving the unauthorized marking of public space by an individual or group. Although the common image of graffiti is a stylistic symbol or phrase spray-painted on a wall by a member of
a street gang, some graffiti is not gang-related. Graffiti can be understood as antisocial behaviour performed in order to gain attention or as a form of thrill seeking, but it also can be understood as an expressive art form.

Graffiti can also be an eyesore on your business and can keep people from entering or using your business!

Does your business or home need some TLC on the outside?

Did you know that SERVPRO will come out and clean up any graffiti or vandalism on your business or home? In addition to removing spray-painted graffiti from exterior walls, we can also
clean driveways, walkways, asphalt, metals, wood, glass, plastic, and masonry.

Call 1-603-298-6942 today if your business or home need a freshening up for the New Year!

Is Dirty Ductwork the Culprit?

10/17/2018 (Permalink)

Estimates made by the World Health Organization say that poor indoor air
quality cost $60 Billion in employee sick leave and lost production.

The ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air
quality, inspecting the ductwork must be a high priority.

In most cases, the HVAC system has been operating for some time without much
attention. Dirty ducts can circulate odors, contaminants such as mold and
irritating dust throughout your office building.

Another problem that affects ductwork in commercial businesses is when input
and output vents become blocked by boxes, equipment, furniture or dust. This
reduces the free flow of air through ducting systems and, by association,
reduces air circulation throughout the entire commercial building.

Part of your responsibility to the tenants, workers, and/or students who work
and play in your buildings includes proper maintenance and prompt response to
any situation that could cause illness or health concerns.

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton can help:

  • Remediate bacteria, fungi and mold
  • Reduce potential for mold growth
  • Restore peak energy efficiency
  • Eliminate offensive odors

SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton will inspect your HVAC system and
ductwork. This inspection can save you money and provide peace of mind on the
health of your HVAC system and ductwork.
