Types of Commercial Sprinkler Systems

7/28/2022 (Permalink)

Choosing the right sprinkler system for your facility can save thousands of dollars in damage should you sustain a fire loss.

Commercial fire sprinkler systems are designed to expel water until they are shut down manually. Choosing the appropriate system for your property and occupancy can mitigate possible water damage.

Wet Pipe System

Most common

• Pipes are filled with water
• Heat from a fire triggers the system and opens the sprinklers closest to the fire
• Usually, only one or two sprinklers open

Dry Pipe System

For areas with below freezing temperatures

• Pipes are filled with pressurized air or gas used to hold water back in a heated space. 
• Heat from a fire opens the sprinklers closest to the fire 
• Air escapes and the dry pipe valve opens to allow water flow
• Usually, more sprinklers open than with a wet pipe system

Deluge System

For use in hazardous environments prone to fast-spreading fires

• Pipes are not filled with water or gas
• All sprinklers stay open
• A signal from a fire detection device opens the deluge valve
• Water will flow from all sprinklers

Pre-Action System

For areas where concerns or water or fire damage to property are high

• Pipes are filled with pressurized air or gas
• Loss of air or gas pressure summons maintenance
• A signal from a fire detection device opens the pre-action valve, filling the pipes with water
• Because sprinkler heads are closed, heat from a fire opens the sprinklers closest to the fire
• Usually only one or two sprinklers open (similar to the wet pipe system). However, ”double interlock” pre-action systems use more air or gas pressure in the pipes, delaying the water delivery and allowing more sprinklers to open at a time (similar to dry pipe systems)

In the event that your business or building sustains damage from water or fire, SERVPRO of Ozaukee County is Here to Help.  We have the advanced expertise and technology to minimize loss of use in your facility.  Call us for your emergencies 24/7/365 at 262-242-8888.

Fire Safety Tips to Protect Your Ozaukee County Business

7/28/2022 (Permalink)

If you own a business, make sure you take all of the steps necessary to mitigate the risk of and prepare for a fire emergency.

One fire can completely destroy a company’s finances and productivity.  In severe instances, this risk can lead to a closure.  In addition to ensuring you are compliant with all fire safety codes, here are some tips to mitigate the threat fires pose to your business.

HAVE THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT

Make sure you have functioning smoke alarms and extinguishers in the workplace at all times. A fire suppression system is also recommended.

MINIMIZE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN STORAGE

Packaging materials, paper files and batteries, as well as other common office items can be highly flammable.  Minimize the amount of these materials kept in the workplace, and safely store those that are kept.

MANAGE ELECTRONICS SAFELY

When leaving for the day, always turn off everything plugged into an outlet.  Make sure electrical cords are not damaged as broken wires can start fires, and never allow circuits to be overloaded.

REGULARLY CHECK FIRE ALARMS

Conduct monthly checks to ensure that all fire alarms, as well as the systems that monitor the building, are functioning properly.  Alert employees therein to give them ample time to evacuate in the event of a fire.

HAVE A WRITTEN PLAN

Write out a plan that includes evacuation protocols, fire prevention policies, emergency phone numbers, and all other matters pertaining to procedures.  Make sure all employees have access to the plan.  SERVPRO of Ozaukee County can help create an Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) to keep a digitally accessible record of your plan and important information.

In the event your business is affected by fire, smoke, or soot damage, don’t hesitate to call on the professionals at SERVPRO of Ozaukee County.  We are here to help 24/7/365.  We can be reached at 262-242-8888.

Board-Up Services for your Ozaukee County Business

7/28/2022 (Permalink)

Our SERVPRO board up team has helped to keep many businesses safe after some streaks of vandalism in the area.

Whether your windows are broken by a storm, wind, fire, or vandalism, action must be taken quickly to secure your business until replacement doors and windows can be permanently installed.  The board-up professionals at SERVPRO of Ozaukee County are here to help.  We have years of experience securing homes and businesses after damage occurs, and we are available 24/7/365 for this type of emergency.

What is a “board-up”?

Board-up is the process by which we secure windows, doors, and other openings with wooden boards to protect the interior from damage.

Most often, windows and doors are boarded up after severe storms, fire damage, or vandalism that left a building exposed to the elements. Boarding up your business can also protect it from vandalism and theft during the repair process.

Why should broken windows and doors be boarded up?

Some people use sheets of plastic or tarps to seal their building from the elements after damage. In more mild cases, this can be a cost-effective alternative that requires less setup and take down than using wood.  However, a tarp is not sturdy enough to protect your business when the openings are particularly large or the environment is unfriendly. If you’re concerned about theft or further damage to your building, it’s best to use a professional board up service.

How do I board up my own windows?

There are a few steps to boarding up doors and windows after they’ve been damaged.

• First, protect yourself from hazards like broken glass by wearing safety glasses and thick gloves. Long sleeves and pants are also recommended.

• Tape over cracks in windows that haven’t been completely shattered, or remove them entirely. If you leave a crack untreated, it has the potential of getting bigger and causing further harm.

• Measure the window or door frame and cut a board to cover the opening.

• Secure the board to the window or door frame, preferably with a power drill. You can also nail the wood in place, though it will take a little longer.

• If those steps seem complicated (and they sure can be — measuring and cutting for a large do-it-yourself project like this is no easy task) don’t hesitate to reach out for help. 

If your business is damaged by a storm or by vandalism, let us take some of the worry away by keeping the interior of your building safe and secure.  SERVPRO of Ozaukee County has seen countless board-up situations, and we are always available for your call at 262-242-8888.

Sprinkler Systems

2/28/2022 (Permalink)

Even just one sprinkler head will put out an enormous amount of water very quickly...and over a pretty good-sized area.  In a fire, that is exactly what you want.

But sometimes sprinkler systems can go off for other reasons.  When they go off by mistake, they need to be turned off quickly.  Even if the sprinklers are turned off in 15 or 20 minutes, it could be a soaking disaster.

Do you know how to shut off your sprinkler system?

When there is an emergency, it is easy to forget who knows how to shut off the sprinkler system especially if there is turn over in personnel.

Knowing where and how to turn off the water can be a big deal, even in small offices/facilities if things go haywire suddenly.

SERVPRO of Ozaukee County has helped businesses get this type of water damage cleaned up quickly and effectively for quick re-opening. We are available when you need us, call 262-242-8888 anytime- day or night.

Grafton Business Owners Can Count On Us for Cleaning Support

3/26/2021 (Permalink)

Our team is passionate about supporting businesses in Grafton and the surrounding communities. We want to help you succeed because our locally owned business is part of the community, too.

It isn’t easy to build a business. Entrepreneurs work hard to provide services and products to members of our community. In some cases, it takes long days and nights to make things work.

Planning for the future is a big part of owning a business, too.

But even the most thorough five-year plan can’t predict everything. The COVID-19 pandemic is a powerful example of unpredictability. If you own a business, you’ve likely spent a lot of time lately looking for new ways to reach and serve your customers.

Some local business owners have opted to open up restaurants, stores and companies again for in-person services. Others are finding new ways to offer products and services online. There’s help for you regardless of how you’ve decided to move forward.
