Water Damage 101
3/26/2019 (Permalink)
When a business property has to deal with a flooding issue, the financial loss isn't just measured in how much it will cost to remove the water standing in a break room and then the clean-up. Every day that its doors are closed means a loss of income to cover the regular bills as well.
Many businesses today are operating on a shoestring for a budget, and it seems to be getting tighter despite the recovery of the last two years. Any business that has to turn away customers for even just a few days risks not reopening them. Water damage in Scottsdale commercial properties has to be dealt with immediately. SERVPRO has the experience and equipment to help them reopen as soon as possible.
Commercial property flooding usually occurs in an area that isn't noticed immediately. Once it is discovered, most businesses have to close immediately. That's already one day's receipts lost. To stop it, professional removal and remediation services have to be on-site that same day to find the source of the flooding, stop it if necessary and begin the clean-up process.
Arizona state and Scottsdale safety laws require that standing water has to be removed and dried out before employees can return to work. If water isn't removed quickly enough, then there will be concerns over structure damage and possibly even mold damage. If that happens, then a day or two closed can easily turn into a week or longer.
