My Business is Flooded! What Now?

11/29/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know it is actually more common for your business to flood than it is to burn down? Not sure how comforting this news actually is, given that flooding requires water removal and water remediation, along with the possibility of  mold removal.

Floods are Fearsome

Did you know that just 6 inches of flowing water can knock over an adult? That’s why, even the mere threat of a flood is more than enough reason to safely shut down your business and then follow these steps before reopening:

• Ensure everyone’s safety before reentering the building or beginning to clean up.
• Second, secure the building and utilities
• Third, evaluate the amount of damage and be mindful that the water resulting from the flood could have caused significant structural damage, which can threaten the safety of anyone entering the building. 

That’s why, it’s best to partner with the pros when it comes to safe and successful water removal services. At SERVPRO Danvers / Ipswich, we’ve mitigated the damage caused by floods of all sizes in all sorts of commercial properties.
