The risk of having your business closed down by disastrous water damage is usually directly reduced by having a plan of action in place. According to studies, up to 50 percent of businesses that experience such an event do not reopen. Most that do recover had a contingency plan ready to go. Here is how professional restoration services can help.

Keeping Damage to a Minimum

A commercial water mitigation and reconstruction professional should be ready and equipped to take quick action when water damage strikes, any hour of the day. You can reduce risk of major damage and make your own necessary steps easier by having an emergency profile in place. The profile is a collection of the information you need to move swiftly, contacting and informing your damage professional as soon as a situation occurs. The faster his or her response, the greater the likelihood that you can avoid serious damage to your building and equipment.

Planning for Safety and Success

A representative of your Gilberts, IL, franchise can help you collect the information for the emergency profile. This simple step can give you the following security advantages:

• A cost-free professional assessment that analyzes damage contingencies at your location
• A brief profile document that narrows down information to only what is needed in order to handle a water damage disaster
• A local professional who can serve as your water damage mitigation and restoration source
• A chain of command that can authorize repair work quickly, reducing response time to the emergency
• A guide that can help you get back into your building as soon as possible following a disaster
• A reference of such details as priority locations, shut-off valves, and urgent contact information, resulting in minimal time lost in dealing with your emergency

Your emergency profile can result in the least possible loss of time in dealing with your water damage event. For added protection, an ERP app typically allows you to undertake immediate action by phone or other wireless device. A commercial water damage specialist can tell you more.
