Excess moisture caused by leaks or flooding in your commercial property — especially in typically damp environments like the kitchen and bathrooms — creates the perfect breeding ground for mould or mildew. To control and reduce the risk for mould growth in these areas, you must properly maintain your plumbing system and monitor any appliances in your facility that use large quantities of water, such as dish washers. Small amounts of indoor mould are unavoidable and usually harmless. In damp environments, however, mould spores can more easily reproduce and cause more serious and difficult to remove mould problems.
Disinfection services should be considered for your business or commercial property whenever there is a potential risk of contamination from pathogens or other harmful substances. This could include situations such as an outbreak of an infectious disease, rodent feces and other pathogens. Our highly trained technicians are equipped to properly remove and dispose of contaminants, reducing the risk of spreading them to other areas and ensuring the safety of your employees, customers and visitors. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting your business and the health of those in it. Prevention is key when it comes to potential hazards.
As the commercial property owner, you are responsible for payment and will need to sign a form authorizing payment for the restoration services. If this is an insurance claim, ServiceMaster Restore generally collects only the deductible (co-payment) amount from you and bills the balance to your insurance provider as a service to you. If you have a large loss, your mortgage company may be included as a payee on the payment from your insurance company, and you may need to obtain a signature from them as well. If your claim is not covered by insurance or you decide not to file a claim, you will be expected to pay in full. A payment schedule may be agreed upon prior to the start of any non-insured work.
