Mitigation Team SERVPRO of Central Honolulu are your local commercial restoration experts. Contact us today should you experience any damage.

When it comes to keeping a company running, every bit of assistance counts. As an owner or property manager, you are well aware that keeping things functioning requires every available hand. Significant interruptions or losses could be catastrophic for your business.

However, your retail space, manufacturing facility or rental property already has a built-in business partner to assist with cleaning and recovery, and it’s right here in Honolulu’s backyard. SERVPRO can handle a wide variety of company demands—it’s as if you have an invested ally taking care of a whole component of your organization’s success strategy.

Large loss recovery. Fires, storms and floods are among the most common causes of financial loss for businesses in the United States, and they may result in catastrophic amounts of damage if action is not taken fast. When you contact SERVPRO, you can be certain that you are contacting a highly experienced crew that is available 24 hours a day to deliver proven emergency services and minimize your downtime and recovery time.

Emergency Ready Plan. Recovery begins prior to the onset of the disaster—that is, if you’re prepared. We can assist you in developing an Emergency Ready Plan to implement precisely when you need it. During a crisis, you may need an emergency chain of command, alternative meeting or work locations, and temporary suppliers. We’ll have you set up for a simple button press that initiates all of this.

All-purpose cleaning. We have cleaning solutions for any scenario, from specialized demands like trauma site cleanup and safe biohazard removal to common needs like carpet cleaning and upholstery restoration in high-traffic areas. We’ve been doing this for a long time and have seen and cleaned it all.

Restoration services. Storms cause flash floods, the interns could set fire to something in the kitchen or a pipe could burst in the winter. All of these events need repair and cleaning, which SERVPRO of Central Honolulu excels at. From water removal through restoration, you can rely on us to restore your business’ luster after an unfortunate event.

Industry specialization. We can assist businesses of all types, and we’ve spent decades knowing the ins and outs of each. Whatever your business’ specialized or unique cleaning or restoration requirements are, we can assist you. In many circumstances, we may even enclose the work area to avoid interfering with other routine activities of other parts of your business.

Whatever your recovery need may be, and whatever your commercial property may require, trust SERVPRO to get the job done. Contact us today to get started on an Emergency Ready Plan or find out how we can serve your business.

Stay safe this holiday season

holidays for happy memories not for scary memories - image of burnt kitchen Kitchen fires can destroy a home, play it safe this holiday keep a close eye on all your holiday cooking

The holiday season is upon us and our ovens and stoves are going to be used more often than any other time of the year. Our gatherings may be different this year than previous years but they still can bring joyous lasting memories. We here at SERVPRO want to encourage safety and habits to help the memories be the happy holiday kind.  This holiday season please remember to practice safety while cooking. In a study between 2013-2017, 27% of reported fires occurred in homes. Most home fires and fire casualties result from five causes: cooking, heating, electrical distribution and lighting equipment, intentional fire setting, and smoking materials. Sadly, 79% of fire related deaths and 73% of all fire-related injuries occurred from home fires. Remarkably, US fire departments responded to an estimated average of 354,400 home structure fires per year, which resulted in an annual average of 2,620 civilian deaths, 11,220 civilian fire injures, and $6.9 billion in direct property damage. Over the five-year period of 2013-2017, cooking was the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Be sure to follow fire safety tips such as installing smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas. Test these smoke alarms every month. Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year. If a fire occurs in your home, get out, stay out, and call for help.

Rescue is on its way

Help is on the way The rescue team headed to Kona to get a client back in operations after a confirmed COVID case

SERVPRO of Central Honolulu is standing by ready to help! We received a call from a trusting client on a neighboring island. The call was for an emergency COVID-19 clean-up in a large warehouse. The client operated out of a Kona located Facility.  This particular phone call came on Thursday at 3 pm. The customer needed his 45,000 square foot warehouse cleaned by 6 am the next morning. 

Our rescue team organized by David Wu our general manager began to mobilized our team.  Our rescue team left for Kona within hours after received the desperate call for help. After working a full day here on Oahu our rescue team arrived in Kona and cleaned overnight and into the morning to meet the needs of our client. The photo you see here is a picture of our rescue team being shuttled back to the airport to catch their early morning flight back to Oahu after the very long night.

Were recognize the importance of immediate response when it comes to preventing business interruptions. The loss of one day of business to some of our clients can equal the loss of tens of thousands of dollars in sales. These types of emergencies are never planned for, but when they happen we are ready and able to help. Our products used for COVID-19 cleaning are EPA approved and our team IICRC certified, thus giving our clients the confidence needed to safely reopen for business.

With COVID-19 cases still on the rise, it's always nice to know who to call when you need the job done by a professional team.

Pack-Out

Pack Out We take all precaution necessary to protect your belongings

Part of the restoration process can involve the complete reconstruction of a home or a section of a home. This can require added measures over and above just remediation. Space is not always an option here in Oahu, so the professionals here at SERVPRO offer pack-out services. What this entails is careful packing and inventorying of personal contents, that will then be stored off-site in a climate-controlled storage unit until reconstruction is completed.  This type of service could be used when flooring needs to be removed and replaced, when asbestos abatement needs to be performed and the contents need to be relocated to avoid cross-contamination, or when a large demolition needs to be performed such as a ceiling removal. The professionals at SERVPRO will carefully pack items to be stored short-term or long-term depending on the situation.  Call today to see if SERVPRO can help speed up your reconstruction process.
