Items to Consider Before Reopening Your Business

If your business has been closed or had reduced entry from employees or patrons during the COVID-19 pandemic, these are some items to consider before reopening your business.

Hidden Moisture or Mold

Unoccupied portions of your building may have experienced leaks or water entry, which can lead to microbial growth over time if it goes unnoticed. Summit can help find the source through moisture mapping and conduct a microbial growth inspection.

Indoor Air Quality

Closed windows and lack of consistent air circulation can affect indoor air quality. Dust, germs, and chemical compounds can build up over time in the air and on surfaces.

Cleaning & Disinfecting

Potential contamination of commonly touched surfaces may require cleaning and disinfection procedures before reopening. Summit applies EPA-registered disinfectant to high-touch point surfaces via commercial sprayers and ultra-low-volume fogging.

Summit also has a full spectrum Facility Services Department that can remove dirt, dust, allergens, or pathogens from carpet, tile, and upholstery.

We are here for you during this difficult time and the health and safety of you, your staff, and your patrons is our number one priority.
