Cousino Restoration in Perrysburg has been dealing with emergency damage situations for decades. Co-owner Michael Cousino said water damage is a problem many homeowners face every year.

“Every 100 homes, there’s going to be about two of them homes per 100 that are going to flood a year,” he said.

Cousino said the two main problems people face is a failing sump pump or a clogged drain.

A sump pump is a common way to remove water from your home and Cousino said investing in a good one is some of the best insurance you can have in addition to home owners insurance coverage. He said people should check on them ahead of heavy rain events.

Slow the Spread of Flu

12/17/2019

  1. Know the difference between cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing
    Cleaning removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.

    Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.

    Sanitizing lowers the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements. This process works by either cleaning or disinfecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection.

  2. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that are touched often
    Follow your school’s standard procedures for routine cleaning and disinfecting. Typically, this means daily sanitizing surfaces and objects that are touched often, such as desks, countertops, doorknobs, computer keyboards, hands-on learning items, faucet handles, phones, and toys. Some schools may also require daily disinfecting these items. Standard procedures often call for disinfecting specific areas of the school, like bathrooms.

    Immediately clean surfaces and objects that are visibly soiled. If surfaces or objects are soiled with body fluids or blood, use gloves and other standard precautions to avoid coming into contact with the fluid. Remove the spill, and then clean and disinfect the surface.
    ​
  3. Simply do routine cleaning and disinfecting
    It is important to match your cleaning and disinfecting activities to the types of germs you want to remove or kill. Most studies have shown that the flu virus can live and potentially infect a person for up to 48 hours after being deposited on a surface. However, it is not necessary to close schools to clean or disinfect every surface in the building to slow the spread of flu. Also, if students and staff are dismissed because the school cannot function normally (e.g., high absenteeism during a flu outbreak), it is not necessary to do extra cleaning and disinfecting.

    Flu viruses are relatively fragile, so standard cleaning and disinfecting practices are sufficient to remove or kill them. Special cleaning and disinfecting processes, including wiping down walls and ceilings, frequently using room air deodorizers, and fumigating, are not necessary or recommended. These processes can irritate eyes, noses, throats, and skin; aggravate asthma; and cause other serious side effects.

Test Fire Protection Equipment

Test Fire Protection Equipment

It's important for your team to do what they can to prevent building fires, but don't forget about your responsibilities too. One of the most important precautions for property and facility managers and owners is testing the fire protection equipment. You might have the proper fire sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, smoke, and carbon monoxide detectors installed, but that doesn't mean they will work in the event of an emergency. These fire systems must be regularly tested and inspected. 

Fire Sprinkler Systems
​In the winter, it's especially important to check in on the fire sprinkler system because the pipes are at risk of freezing. This could cost you thousands in damage, and even worse, your system might not work if there is a fire.

Fire Extinguishers
Make sure you're checking fire extinguishers every 30 days to ensure that the gauge is pointing to the green area. 

Smoke Detectors
In a fire, every second counts. Smoke alarms should be installed in every room, hallway, and on every level of the building. Proper testing of fire alarm systems can save dollars and lives. 

These simple tips can help keep your buildings and properties safe. But disasters will happen, so be prepared and call Cousino Medical Services!

Winterize Your Facility

Before the harshness of winter hits, here are a few tips to prepare for the worst. A little preparation can help you get through winter with as little damage or wear and tear as possible.

Heating System
You will want to maintain your indoor temperatures in order for your equipment and employees to function optimally. If you do your own maintenance, now is the time to look for worn or damaged parts and clean out accumulated dust or dirt. If you use a service, schedule a cleaning. If you have generators, make sure they’re operational and ready to take over if needed.

A Proactive Approach To Infection Control

11/13/2019

Comments

 
According to the Center For Disease Control:
  • HAI’s are the 4th leading cause of death in the United States and cost the U.S. healthcare system over $40 billion a year.
  • HAI fatalities in the U.S. alone equates to over 271 deaths per day. This is more than all the deaths from breast cancer, AIDS and automotive accidents combined.
  • 10% of inpatients in the U.S. contract infections from the hospital (healthcare environment).
  • More than 2 million people suffer from HAI’s a year in the U.S. and over 103,000 of them die.     
  • MRSA can survive 9 months outside of the human body.
Isn’t it time for a more proactive approach?

Disinfecting Educational Facilities - Case Study

9/17/2019

Comments

 
SteraMist

Project Summary

At a local educational facility, two rooms were tested positive for spore counts that were well above 7000 of numerous contaminates. An acceptable spore count in a facility similar to this is would be around 1000 or below. Cousino Medical was called out to see if our team could eliminate the contaminates and bring Spore Counts down to acceptable levels.

Project Results

After one application treatment of SteraMist, without taking anything apart, our team was able to bring the spore count down to boarderline acceptable levels. Even though this was determined acceptable, our team continued to inspect and find hidden areas where contaminates could hide. Based on our findings it was determined that the uni-vents would be the only place hiding additional contaminates that needed eliminated. CMS along with a certified technician disassembled, cleaned, and disinfected coils and interior of the uni-vent along with proper filter change allowed us to bring clearance testing down well below acceptable levels. Final testing showed one spore count in one room and zero spore counts in the other. This successful treatment shows the effectiveness of Steramist and proven CMS cleaning protocols, which provides a near perfect elimination of contaminants.
