Commercial Water Damage

Cherry Hill Business Sustains Water Damages After Hours, but thanks to SERVPRO Beverly/ Cape Ann Rapid Response, A Catastrophic loss was averted, and business operations can resume.

Just as most of us were recently going about our pre-Christmas routines of decorating the tree, baking cookies with the family, and finishing up some last minute shopping, SERVPRO’s emergency notification system rang out informing all first responders that a local business was taking on water from a failed hot water heater on the second floor and that they were in desperate need of help. Were it not for the quick repurposing of several trash cans for makeshift water collection by the weekend janitorial staff, followed by a wise call to the local Beverly SERVPRO Franchise, hundreds of employees might have found themselves out of a job when they returned to work on Monday morning. Making this past holiday season less than joyous for many north shore families. When it comes to a water loss, few factors are as critical to limiting property damages and business interruption as response time. It can often mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and brief loss of productivity or worst-case scenario, complete work stoppage and business closure. According to an earlier FEMA study, “nearly 40% of all businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster”. Don’t let this happen to your business. Get to know your local SERVPRO provider and schedule a time to have them visit your property to conduct an ERP (Emergency Ready Program). It can help to guarantee the safety of your employees, patrons and ensure the longevity of your business and property.
