Covid 19 Sanitization

1/9/2023 (Permalink)

If one of your employees test positive for covid 19 call SERVPRO of Orangeburg, we will come and sanitize and disinfect your whole facility. 

Upon arrival our crew will come set up the tent barrier to minimize germs coming in and out of the location. Then they all donned their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE.) All of this happens before the sanitation even begins.

Only after everything is set and the PPE is completely on every member of the crew does the actual sanitation begin. This includes using the fogger to spray a fine mist of sanitizer throughout the store, bathrooms and back rooms. 

Then all touch points are wiped with a treated cloth. A touch point is anything that can be touched and includes cooler handles, debit machines, drink machines and anything else that may be touched by multiple parties.

Once completed, the crew then takes off all PPE in the safest manner (also called doffing). Finally the tent is taken down and a certified clean sticker is put in the window to ensure the staff and customers know that all measures have been taken to keep everyone safe.

Contact our office today to set up your pathogen cleaning - (803)536-1285.

• Protect your employees, Design safe evacuation procedures

University Village Water Damage

1/21/2022 (Permalink)

For SERVPRO of Orangeburg, our 2022 started off with a rather large water damage at University Village, SC State University. The cause of loss was a supply line burst that occurred on the top floor. The water migrated down to the below levels affecting three apartments in total.  We began the drying process, placing dehumidifiers as needed.

It was quickly noticed that mold was present in the structure, as well as the slow speed at which the drying was taking place. It was determined demolition was needed to fully dry the structure. We began on the top floor and worked our way down, removing all contaminated drywall, carpet, etc. As we finished our demolition of each level we began the mold remediation and post construction cleanup. 

We are pleased to be the company chosen to help and make it "Like it never even happened."

Sewer Backup

Aftermath of a sewer backup.

A local grocery store was having an issue with their sewer system, as it was backing up. So they contacted SERVPRO of Orangeburg. Upon initial contact with the manager, we realized that we would need to wait on a plumber to fix the problem before we could clean and sanitize the area; in the meantime we were able to extract the contaminated water and set up machines. 

We set up a hydroxyl titan and some air scrubbers to help manage the odor while we were waiting on the plumber to fix the initial problem. Once the backup was handled, we were able to go in and do a deep cleaning on all of the affected areas as well as deodorize them.

The manager and staff were so relieved that we were able to get the mess cleaned and smelling  "Like it never even happened," in such a short time frame.

Contact us today  for all of your commercial cleaning needs. (803)536-1285.

We Can Now Do Asbestos Testing

1/12/2021 (Permalink)

Andrew Proudly Showing His Certification.

Asbestos has been widely used and continues to be used in construction as a strengthening and fire proofing material. It has been used in hundreds of products that are frequently referred to as Asbestos Containing Material or ACM.

Potential health effects from exposure to asbestos include mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, as well as various other types of cancer. Due to these health risks, when a corporate job comes in we are required to test suspicious materials that may contain asbestos.

Previously, we at SERVPRO of Orangeburg, outsourced asbestos testing. In the state of South Carolina asbestos testing has to be done by a licensed building inspector, which due to their availability to get to our job site could prolong the job. However, now that Andrew has taken the required courses and passed the examination, we can take the samples and send them off ourselves. This will help expedite the process and we will receive the results sooner, so the mitigation can begin quicker.
