Homeless encampment and illegal drug lab removed in record time.

CAM Property Services recently completed a major emergency cleanup project in Perris, CA. The operation was conducted on behalf of the Riverside County Metropolitan Water District and in coordination with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The effort involved the removal of a large-scale homeless encampment and an illegal drug lab, which posed significant health and safety risks to the surrounding community.

Initiated on December 4th, the cleanup was deemed urgent due to the dangerous conditions at the encampment. The area was not only a site of homelessness but also contained hazardous materials and evidence of illegal activities. CAM’s team of highly trained environmental specialists mobilized swiftly to complete the project within just 72 hours. The cleanup resulted in the removal of 25 individuals, the confiscation of five RVs, and the disposal of more than 60,000 tons of dangerous materials from the site. Additionally, the operation led to 10 arrests, highlighting the severity of the situation.

“We understand the complexity of addressing issues like homelessness and drug addiction in California,” said David A. Herrera, President of CAM Property Services. “These encampments often pose significant dangers to both the individuals living in them and the surrounding community. At CAM, we strive to provide effective solutions that not only prioritize public health and safety but also respect the dignity of individuals experiencing homelessness.”

The completion of this operation reflects CAM’s commitment to responding quickly and effectively to environmental hazards, even in the most challenging circumstances. The company’s expertise in cleanup and remediation is backed by years of experience, and they have become a trusted partner for municipalities, property owners, and organizations facing complex environmental issues.

This cleanup is also aligned with California’s broader efforts to tackle homelessness. In October 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the state’s efforts by awarding $130.7 million to local governments to clear homeless encampments, while also providing shelter, care, and support services. However, the Governor also announced strict accountability measures, requiring that those who receive funding adhere to state housing and homeless laws.

For municipalities, property owners, or organizations seeking assistance with emergency cleanup or property maintenance, CAM Property Services offers a broad range of services. These include junk hauling, janitorial services, pressure washing, landscaping, ADA remediation, and more. Their professional and compassionate approach ensures that communities are kept safe while supporting individuals in need of help.

The construction of linen chutes for commercial use is a modern necessity for an operation such as a senior living facility, hotel, hospitality business, multifamily high-rise, or industrial facility. These convenient conduits can be installed inside internal building shafts or as external structures. While relatively simple in design they feature several elements that require construction expertise.

Placing linen chute access points on upper floors allow for the easy transport of dirty laundry down to a central location, often directly into the laundry facility. Dirty and odorous linen can avoid elevators and other common areas. This also prevents potential injury from moving heavy laundry down long hallways or stairs.

Linen chutes are classified as gravity chutes because they are non-mechanical, relying on basic physics to move the load to a lower floor. The main vertical chute is either round or rectangular, traversing several floors.

Building codes and compliance are the top considerations for new laundry chute construction. Proper installation demands mechanisms are in place for the safety of the building and its occupants.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has strict guidelines about linen chute equipment. The governing codes in NFPA 82 include section 11.2.2, which states “Waste and linen chutes and transport systems including chute intake and discharge doors, shall be inspected and maintained not less than annually in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions.”

Fire suppression devices are important features as fire can travel and spread quickly through open conduits such as chutes. The first safety device is a sliding closure at the bottom level. Normally in the open position, it is held in place by a pin assembly that discharges under high heat. This automatically closes the shaft to prevent air, smoke, and fire from spreading rapidly if the laundry room is the point of origin.

Laundry chutes are accessed at each upper floor through hinged metal doors. These doors are typically fire-rated at 90-120 minutes, depending on local codes. They may have other fire suppression features, such as sprinklers at each floor level.

Chutes also have child-safe latches to prevent accidental opening. Doors are self-closing and openings are commonly limited to 18”. All door heights and hardware must be ADA compliant.

Clearly the maintenance and inspection of linen chute systems are important. If you have maintenance questions, repair needs, or concerns about compliance inspections, a good place to start is your facility services team. They may provide this service or can refer you to a reliable source.

Regular cleaning of linen chutes is also essential to maintain hygiene and a good working condition. Even if your system has an internal self-cleaning function, the exterior doors, hardware, and hopper require supplemental cleaning to stop contamination and prevent corrosion.

Linen chutes may appear similar to ventilation shafts but they are typically made of a thicker gauge sheet metal to withstand the weight of heavy linen, which may also be wet. There are other structural elements to account for the heavy load, such as deceleration tracks, braces, and reinforcement at impact points.

Constructed of stainless steel or aluminized steel, long shafts are welded together. The interiors are smooth and fitted to prevent damage to falling linen. Noise dampeners are also employed to reduce banging and ringing sounds. Rooftop exhaust ports are also essential.

While basic in appearance, there are many components that require professional expertise in the construction, custom fabrication, and installation of linen chutes. Incorporating them into existing facilities demands knowledge of commercial construction methods and practices.

Linen chute manufacturers may offer installation but can be unfamiliar with building construction challenges. Chute projects often fall below the minimum threshold required to interest a large construction company. Therefore, the ideal sweet spot for linen chute installation is a small construction company with the industry expertise and flexibility to meet your needs.

A company such as Omnia Pacific Construction is ideally suited to install your linen chute system in California. With decades of experience in the commercial space, they have worked with assisted living facilities, multifamily apartments, hotels, and industrial warehouses to bring convenient and cost-effective upgrades to their facilities. Call 800-974-4515 today to find out what they can do for your property.

Transform your property with CAM’s hauling and junk removal services

In the ever-evolving landscape of property management, maintaining a clean and welcoming environment isn’t an option — it’s a necessity. The presence of graffiti, homeless encampments, dirty dumpster bins, and unsightly trash can tarnish the perception of your property and lead to an array of problems.

Fortunately, this is where CAM’s hauling and junk removal services can help. Our team of skilled Property Pros provide much-needed assistance to building owners and managers throughout Southern California by swiftly, effectively and affordably disposing of any unwanted items and debris.

Conscientious property owners know that taking a proactive approach to addressing these issues is not only essential for aesthetic reasons, but also for the safety and well-being of their tenants, renters and neighbors. Here’s how CAM can help mitigate these challenges:

Regular Maintenance

Preventing issues before they escalate is always the best approach. Regular visits from our Property Pros can help deter common problems such as:

• Trash overflow: Once such areas become a problem, they tend to attract more trash and debris, turning into convenient, unpatrolled dumping grounds.
• Bulk item disposal: The drop-off of costly bulk items like furniture, appliances, and construction debris can be a headache for property managers. CAM can efficiently remove these items, keeping your property looking pristine.
• Waste reallocation: CAM can reallocate trash and large debris to your empty dumpster bins right before a scheduled trash hauler visits your property. This proactive approach can save you from hefty fines and high hauling costs.

Trash Bin and Dumpster Enclosure Maintenance

Maintaining the cleanliness of your trash bins and dumpster enclosures is essential for ensuring a pleasant environment and a positive first impression for your property. CAM offers comprehensive maintenance services, including:

• Bin cleaning: We thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of trash bins, ensuring they remain fresh and odor free.
• Enclosure cleaning: Our Property Pros steam clean to remove grease and grime build-up from dumpster enclosure walls, floors, and doors. This not only improves the aesthetics but also ensures a hygienic environment.
• Lock maintenance: Properly functioning dumpster doors and locks are crucial for security. Regular maintenance checks help prevent homeless individuals from overtaking these spaces.

The issue of homelessness has long been a contentious one in California, with elected officials and property owners facing numerous legal challenges in their efforts to address encampments that pose health and safety risks to both individuals and the community.

The Supreme Court has spoken.

Last month’s Supreme Court ruling in the case of City of Grants Pass v. Johnson has provided much-needed clarity and authority to these stakeholders, enabling them to implement effective solutions.

CAM Property Services is dedicated to delivering solutions that balance the needs of the community with the dignity and well-being of individuals experiencing homelessness. Here’s why CAM is the ideal partner:

1. Expertise and experience: With years of experience in property maintenance, CAM has the Property Pros with the expertise to handle complex situations involving homeless encampments. Our team is trained to navigate the legal and logistical challenges associated with encampment removal.
2. Compassionate approach: CAM understands the sensitive nature of dealing with homeless populations. Their approach prioritizes humane treatment, ensuring that individuals are treated with respect and provided with information on available resources and support services.
3. Comprehensive services: CAM offers a full range of services, from Junk Hauling and Pressure Washing to Parking Lot Sweeping and Drone Inspections. Our “one call does it all” philosophy means that clients can rely on us for all aspects of the process.
4. Safety and compliance: CAM is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance. We work closely with local authorities to ensure that all actions are in line with legal requirements and best practices.

For those seeking a reliable partner in this endeavor, CAM Property Services offers the expertise, compassion, and comprehensive service needed to make a positive impact.

Parking lots have become a focal point for businesses and customers like never before – from order pickup to drive-thru services to outdoor dining. As health concerns increase, people are taking more notice of unclean and unsanitary environments. Parking lots are often the first and last impressions for visitors. It is critical to present the cleanest property possible. Thorough parking lot sweeping is important to keep customers returning.

Janitorial dustpan and broom sweeping may work for small areas and tight spaces, but industrial sweeper trucks are necessary for the effective cleaning of parking lots. These vehicles use side brushes with rotating bristles to scrape hard surfaces, loosen debris, and sweep the lots clean. Some vehicles use water and liquid solvents for additional cleaning power and to reduce dust. There are also vacuum truck sweepers for lighter duty.

On concrete surfaces, if a parking lot is particularly blemished with oil, tar, and other grime, it may be necessary to engage in high-temperature power washing or steam cleaning. These methods are effective for breaking down difficult automotive fluids that have accumulated over time. Aged gum or tar appearing as black spots are another common, yet stubborn parking lot blemish removed through power washing.

Some property managers rely on hand-held blowers for cleaning their parking lots. This is effective in the right cases and ideal for frequent in-between cleanings.

Another reason for using commercial parking lot sweepers is to extend the longevity of pavement, asphalt, slurry coating, and striping. Leaked automotive fluids are corrosive, while sand and dirt are abrasive materials that can shorten the life of pavement and line striping.

There are other benefits to cleaning and maintaining parking lots. Parking lot sweeping is effective at removing stormwater pollutants that can enter or hinder the municipal water sewer system. Fines and lawsuits can be avoided from non-compliance with ADA regulations with proper parking lot striping, painting, and handicap signage.

It is an ideal time to improve parking lot maintenance standards for a wide variety of reasons. Most importantly it will facilitate the return of customers in an era when cleanliness is being scrutinized at previously unseen levels.

One more thing to consider is: What areas are included with parking lot sweeping? A company that provides great service and value will include sidewalks, dumpster enclosures, pad areas, and even storefronts with their parking lot cleaning. Be sure you know the boundaries when comparing services.

Other services can also dramatically improve the appearance of parking lots. Water pooling and poor runoff flow from landscape irrigation or stormwater accelerates the deterioration of parking lots. Improvements in these areas will help extend the life of the affected surfaces.

Crack repair, pothole filling, slurry seal, restriping, and landscaping can quickly renew the appearance of a worn-out parking lot. Widespread crackling – known as crocodile cracking, alligatored asphalt, or crocodiling – should also be repaired as it leads to further damage and poses a safety hazard. Improve security and traffic flow with bollard or barrier installations.

One company that provides all these services is CAM Property Services, trusted by top California retailers and companies for their parking lot sweeping and maintenance. With branch offices throughout Southern California and the Central Valley, they are equipped to handle property requests of any size. To learn more call 800-576-3050 now.

Although they are commercial properties, multifamily facilities fall into a unique category with regard to upkeep. Unlike most commercial properties for business use, these properties are occupied continuously. Multifamily maintenance requires a wider range of skills and resident diplomacy, whether a high-rise apartment building, sprawling garden style community, condominiums, or townhouse community.

Multifamily properties typically have more paying tenants to keep satisfied. The demands on common areas and amenities also tend to be higher. The lifestyles of the occupants tend to follow less rigid patterns of behavior, whereas business tenants more closely follow a uniform code of behavior.

Working with a property services company that has a cooperative team across multiple disciplines will save busy property managers time, money, and frustration. Imagine the convenience of contacting just one point-person for nearly all property needs such as landscaping, janitorial, power washing, garbage area cleanup, trash chute repair, virus disinfecting, ADA compliance, and parking garage sweeping.

General maintenance is the first concern for servicing multifamily properties. As property occupants are staying home more and paying attention to sanitizing and cleaning procedures these days, a more professional standard of cleaning is demanded. Janitorial services are less behind-the-scenes than they may have been in the past.

Pristine common areas are the first key to making tenants happy. Indoor cleaning may require extra attention on frequent touch point and high traffic areas. Community rooms and fitness centers require additional sanitization. Expert carpet cleaning and floor care can extend the life of your asset. Day porter services also provide a higher level of concierge service.

Common areas are the most visible and important to keep clean. Lobbies, entryways, elevators, stairwells, parking garages, and walkways that are not maintained can become eyesores and liability hazards. A company that properly repairs and maintains trash chutes and garbage collection areas can reduce odors, disease, and safety hazards from properties.

Professional landscaping provides a great first impression for prospective residents and visitors and can add value. Exterior maintenance also covers a lot of ground and includes services such as hard surface steam cleaning, parking lot sweeping, and underground parking maintenance, to name a few. Although these areas may be lower profile, they are equally important to maintain.

Perimeter inspections, aerial drone video inspections, hauling large illegally dumped items, graffiti removal, alleyway cleanup, and handyman services should also be offered by a full-service company.

Hiring a good team that recognizes preventative maintenance issues is also valuable. The more skills a facility services team brings, the more qualified they are to identify and report potential problems. They can prevent small abnormalities from escalating into large, full-blown problems that create headaches and unwanted expenses.

This is the type of depth you should look for when hiring a company for multifamily maintenance. A strong team can save property managers considerable time and expense in the long run. Your property will provide an enhanced living experience and tenants will be routinely happier.

If you are an owner or manager of multifamily real estate in California, you should call upon CAM Property Services. From now on all your multifamily property needs could be handled with a phone call to just one company. They are a premier provider, trusted by many of the top residential property companies in the state since 1987.

Have you ever thought about what happens when the doors of a trash chute are opened?  It’s definitely something you should be thinking about and be aware of. Recent studies have discovered the inner surface of a chute can carry more than 30 different biological and bacterial growths. If a trash chute doesn’t receive proper and timely cleaning care, all of these germs and bacteria become airborne every time the chute doors are opened. These bacteria carry all kinds of illnesses and infections throughout the building, potentially affecting occupants.

Harmful Pathogens

Trash chutes are breeding grounds for some harmful fungal pathogens; for example: E. Coli, Salmonella, Legionella, Stahylococci Aureus and Pseudomonas. According to Environmental Research & Restoration, the lack of trash chute cleaning is potentially responsible for the increase in frequency of doctor’s office visits. Many pathogenic molds have the ability to inhabit the respiratory tract and become life-threatening. Items found in trash chutes contain organic waste ingredients, a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and disease-causing organisms to thrive and spread throughout the building.

Fire Hazards

Property owners and managers face building violations, odor, and fire hazard risks on a daily basis. The potential possibility for fire risks is the most dangerous. Dirty or substandard trash chutes can cause all of these conditions, although they are entirely avoidable and affordable within a community’s budget. Grease, sludge, and grime build-up, faulty trash chute doors, and clogged air vents are all genuine threats.  When gooey residue builds up, it prevents the chute doors from closing and can even ignite. If, during a fire, the trash chute doors do not close properly, a wind tunnel effect is created, funneling the fire up and down the building. The risk of fire is reduced when a chute is functioning properly and the chute doors are safety-approved. Your building is in violation of fire and safety codes if your chute doors don’t close or latch automatically. In order to keep a chute functioning properly, grease and sludge and grime build-up must be removed on a regular basis; otherwise you risk damaging the components of the chute which occur from build-up, therefore preventing the doors from closing. Furthermore, the collection of goo on the inside of the chute has been proven to be flammable even at temperatures as low as 180 degrees. It’s very important to eliminate risks of a flash explosion by keeping the chute clean and properly maintained. Chute doors that don’t close automatically can create a wind tunnel and increase the severity of a fire.

Cleaning Schedule

Trash chutes should be cleaned a minimum of twice a year, preferably in the summer and winter.  It is also recommended that you clean your trash chutes before and after major holidays; tenants welcome a cleaning in anticipation of holiday entertaining and an increase of visitors. A top notch cleaning process should also include maintenance and repair services.

A properly cleaned trash chute should include the following steps listed below:

Cleaning Process

■ Pre-treat interior chute walls and doors with biodegradable enzyme solution to de-grease, disinfect and deodorize

■ Pressure wash interior chute walls and doors at up to 3,000 psi to strip away grime

■ Steam clean trash room floor and walls

■ Service options: Trash room odor control blocks and water reclamation (important for water conservation during this severe drought or when you have a lack of drainage)

A properly cleaned trash chute leads to more than just a safe and cleaner living environment, it also eliminates breeding a breeding ground for vermin, neutralizes odors, and reduces the possibility of resident complaints.

Listed below are several basic maintenance and repair services associated with a properly maintained trash chute.

Maintenance and Repair Services Offered by CAM Services

■ Inspection of intake and discharge door each cleaning visit

■ Repair and replacement of worn hardware performed by trained technicians

■ Refurbish your existing trash chutes and doors to bring them up to code

The seemingly small task of cleaning and maintain a trash chute is more important than some would think and can be good for your business.  Putting forth the effort to keep your tenants healthy and happy increases the likelihood that they will stay in your building longer and reduces your liability.
