How will I protect my facility from theft after a fire?	
In the event of damaged doors and windows that leave your building vulnerable to thieves or vandalism, ATI will board up your doors and windows to prevent intruders from ransacking your building or causing further damage to it. We can also provide perimeter security and fencing to keep your building safe.
Will ICRA barriers damage my building?	
Many ICRA barriers are installed as a temporary solution and are designed to prevent any damage to your building. When implementing an ICRA barrier solution, ATI installers are certified to perform that scope of work.
Will ICRA barriers block the line-of-sight in my building?	
Even temporary ICRA barriers have various solutions that allow a clear line of sight where required. Many barriers are clear and easy to see through.
Will the construction of barriers disrupt my business?	
No. ICRA barrier solutions are created to minimize business disruption at installation.

Is disinfecting effective against coronavirus (COVID-19)?	
Yes. In fact, ATI’s commercial disinfection services are used across the country to prevent the spread of disease in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, residential complexes, restaurants, etc.
What is the process for commercial disinfection services?	
Our disinfection professionals inspect your facilities and identify the most pathogen-prone areas. They address typical building traffic and services provided within the building, then create a plan to target your building’s potential contaminated areas.
Our plan of action includes:
Establishing a controlled access work area
Build Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) barrier (if needed)
Ensuring that all workers entering the work area are aware of hazards, are properly trained, utilize proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and follow proper Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines
Conducting an initial cleaning
Performing a deep cleaning of high-touch surfaces
Applying decontamination technology
Performing final clean up
Cleaning removes dirt, dust, crumbs, and germs from surfaces or objects – this may not necessarily kill mold, mold spores, bacteria, and viruses. Disinfecting uses chemicals (disinfectants) to kill these pathogens.
What are commercial disinfection services?	
Professional disinfection services go further than general janitorial services to deep clean and disinfect any areas vulnerable to pathogens. Where typical cleaning services can overlook multiple locations and lack the ability to fully decontaminate, disinfection services utilize specialized equipment to eradicate contaminants.
Does ATI provide reconstruction services as well as cleanup after a fire?	
Call your insurance company first but we recommend calling a restoration professional quickly. If unattended, mold & mold-forming bacteria can spread to other areas of the property quickly causing additional damage.
