Don't Let Negligence Cost You Money

If you are a commercial real estate broker, building supervisor, investor, or landlord, having your office space filled is your bread and butter. So why let it sit empty, costing you money, rather than generating revenue. Don't let negligence and being unprepared for weather events jeopardize your livelihood.
Make sure your buildings are as safe and well maintained as possible. Throughout the year, check windows and doors for cracks, firm seals, and adequate locks. Foundations should be dry, plumbing in bathrooms, kitchen areas, and break rooms in good functioning order, and electrical systems up to code. Performing these checks on a quarterly basis makes it simple to keep up with.
If Mother Nature throws you a curve ball and storm damage does occur, call your local SERVPRO team for assistance. SERVPRO of Fair Oaks-Centreville-Chantilly can be on site quickly to mitigate your storm related issues. Call us day or night on (703) 830-5800.
Work From Home Affected Your Commercial Occupancy Rate?
3/6/2022 (Permalink)
There is no denying that the past two years have taken a toll on just about every person and industry. For most people, the ability to work from home literally saved their income....allowing them to continue to support their families from the dining room table or home office. Now that the world is slowly opening up again, and people are "going back to work", it appears that the trend of working remotely isn't going away. How many workers will continue to work from home? What does this mean for commercial real estate? If corporations are renewing leases, perhaps they only need a fraction of the square footage of years past. So, if you are a commercial real estate owner or property manager, what are you doing to ensure your buildings are as fully leased as possible?
Your ability to influence whether a corporation allows teleworking or not is extremely limited. However, what you can influence is whether your building is choosen for those companies looking to still have a corporate footprint. Is your building clean, safe, and in good condition? Does it weather a storm well, does it smell fresh and clean? If not, why not? Don't loose current or potential tenants because your building leaks when there is a bad storm or smells musty and stale during hot and humid months. Call SERVPRO of Fair Oaks-Centreville-Chantilly on (703) 830-5800 for an assessment today. We can help you get back in shape so that you're in the running for those sought after tenants.
Don't be left with an empty building, call us today for assistance.

Coffee's Ready!

Would you believe me if I told you that sprinkling used coffee grounds around the outside foundation of your commercial office buildings, helped prevent the infestation of mold on the inside? Well, it may help your hydrangeas, but it has no preventative powers against the onset of mold.
Mold thrives in moist, warm, and dark spaces. In underground parking structures, behind walls, underneath sinks, in elevator shafts, to name but a few of the many hiding places for mold. To prevent mold, ensure that your building is well sealed, windows are leak proof, elevator shafts are cleaned, and garages, as well as office spaces, are properly ventilated.
If, however, mold infestation does occur, protect your occupants and your investment, by calling your local mold certified SERVPRO professionals to assess the situation and provide you with a remediation plan. Then sit back and enjoy your cup of coffee.
DOn't be Caught Off Guard, Call SERVPRO Today for Your Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
9/11/2018 (Permalink)
What is an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and why does my business need one? Having an ERP will greatly expedite any remediation work your building(s) will need in times of emergency. Getting to problems quickly and knowing the intricacies of the building will save time and mitigate damage.
An ERP plan provides both the building owner, property manager, and the SERVPRO team with the information each needs to expedite emergency services. With an ERP, your SERVPRO team has a building diagram on file which notes water shut-off valves, electrical panels, access points of entry and exit, locations of kitchen areas, bathrooms, office or apartment floor diagrams, what materials are in the building such as tile, carpet, drywall, acoustical ceiling tiles, etc. This knowledge allows for quick and efficient access and action when responding to emergency situations. Also included in the ERP are names and contact information for both SERVPRO professionals as well as the building managers/owners. All parties are therefore not scrambling to locate the right person or find the correct phone number or email. This information pertaining to key personnel on both sides is provided.
Peace of mind for all involved may be the biggest asset of having an ERP. As an ERP SERVPRO client, you are assured that your SERVPRO team will know who to contact, what to do, and where all the important touch-points are within the buildings.
With storm season here and winter approaching, it's time to contact your local SERVPRO franchise to establish your ERP today. It's free, easy to establish, and worth the peach of mind.
