The First Thing to Do When Your Property is Damaged

11/2/2019 (Permalink)

Each commercial property comes with its own set of variables when restoring damage.

When damage occurs in a commercial property, the capacity for the spread of damage is much higher than in a personal property. From surface area to multiple floors, there’s far more to consider when repairing a commercial property. The quantity of people using bathrooms, sinks, ovens, and other appliances raises the risk factor of accidental damage taking place. When it does occur, it can create a decent mound of stress for any property manager in charge of maintenance and restoration. Make sure to take the first, important steps:

1. Take pictures of everything. You’ll want to remember each part that needs to be fixed and make sure everything is returned to normal.
2. Ensure your restoration professional has the right equipment. In order for any restoration professional to cover a large surface area or multiple floors, depending on the structure of your commercial property, they’re going to need a large quantity of equipment and workforce. Equipment includes: Dehumidifiers (for restoring humidity), air movers (for drying quickly), truck mounted vacuums (for drying surface water), and negative air machines (for trapping contaminated air).
3. Call the right restoration professional. SERVPRO is a large restoration company, with over 1,700 locations nationwide.
