Fire or water damage at your commercial property is almost always unexpected. These sudden incidents can leave behind serious issues and a major mess. As a business or property owner, you probably have a lot on your plate even on a normal day – adding more problems can be overwhelming. Fortunately, when you have a relationship with a trusted local restoration contractor, you will know who to call when you need help. Here are four specific ways that we can help commercial property owners.
When your St. Paul property has been damaged by an unexpected fire or sudden leak, you may have to close your business or relocate your tenants. These situations can be costly, and getting them resolved as quickly as possible is essential.
When you work with a disaster restoration contractor, you can get a lot of help almost immediately. You can scale up quickly in response to an unexpected event, with a large team on site to rapidly handle the damage. Even if you have your own cleaning and maintenance staff, bringing in expert help will prevent you from having to take your team away from their essential daily duties.
Additionally, fire and water damage restoration professionals have the tools and expertise needed to get the job done faster, and done correctly the first time. After all, the longer your business or rental property can’t function normally, the more your bottom line will be impacted.
A fire and water damage contractor will be able to restore your property quickly and with great results thanks in part to the specialized industry equipment they use. Here are a few of the advanced tools that we often use at Green Clean.
Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers: These specialized dehumidifiers use advanced technology to rapidly dry your water damaged property.
Air Movers: Due to gravity, carpets and flooring are almost always impacted by water damage. Air movers are the best way to dry these surfaces as they concentrate air movement at the ground level and can quickly remove water.
Moisture Meters: What is the source of the water damage at your property? How bad is the damage? Are the dehumidifiers, air movers, and other tools working? Moisture meters help to answer all of these questions, allowing your contractors to be sure the clean-up job is complete.
Air Scrubbers: Untreated water damage can lead to the growth of mold, and fire damage can make many chemicals and particles airborne. These situations can make the air in your Minneapolis property dangerous to breathe. Air scrubbers remove these dangerous elements, making your property safe both during and after the restoration process.
Negative Air Machines: Often used with air scrubbers, these machines trap and remove dirty air from damaged areas. They exhaust clean, filtered air while creating negative air pressure that contains the dirty area. Negative air machines are essential when part of your property is being restored while another part is still occupied.
Deodorizers: Fires can leave behind smelly soot and smoke, and water damage can leave musty odors. Deodorizers remove odors at the molecular level, and chemically treat contaminated surfaces.
Both fire and water damage can leave behind many health risks. Water damaged buildings can contain harmful bacteria, mold and other dangerous microorganisms. Fire and water damage can also create an environment with poor air quality, and can damage the actual structure of your building. Without professional restoration help, all of these issues can put the occupants of your property at risk.
Both fire and water damage can be expensive. Beyond the property clean-up process, you may also have lost inventory and income at your commercial property. As a commercial property or business owner, it’s essential that you have the right commercial fire and water damage insurance coverage to protect yourself against these losses. If you have questions about what your policy will and won’t cover, discuss your concerns with your insurance agent.
If you rent a commercial space for your business, or own a commercial space that you rent out to tenants, things can get even more complex. Make sure you know what you are responsible for, and that you have the right coverage to protect your investment. At Green Clean, we understand the insurance claims process, and can help you successfully navigate through it.
