Restoring Your Commercial Property After Storm Damage

8/22/2018 (Permalink)

Storms can really do a number on roofs and rain can cause water damage inside. SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/ Brea can help!

My long-time client and friend, Roger, sat in the rain-drenched interior (yes, I said interior) of his law office with a dazed look in his eyes.  The last storm had done a real number on his roof, and through the gaping hole in his roof, hundreds of gallons had poured through a steady rain and hail storm.  “This is going to cost me…”, he said.

All I could think was that this same story was playing itself out in thousands of homes and businesses across the world lately.  Although the geniuses in Washington say it’s ‘not a thing’, the annual cost of climate change is now in excess of $40 trillion annually.   Roger is a friend and a good client, though.  And to us, he's more than just part of a terrible statistic.  This office and his practice are his bread and butter.  And it’s important to us that Roger get’s back on his feet as quickly as possible.

That’s how we see things at SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/ Brea.

As the weather continues to get more and more crazy, storms wreak havoc on buildings. They break into the protective surface of the roof.  When this happens, the wood swells and later disintegrates.  When the wood starts to rot, mold moves in.  Inside the building, ceilings start to sag.  Mold sets in.  

We feel good about the work we do.  We know we're helping guys like Roger.  Here’s what SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/ Brea does to help:

1. Thorough examination of the inside and outside of your commercial structure.  Doing this helps us identify the type of damage you’ve already experienced. 
2. Competitive estimate.  The nature and extent of the damage will establish the processes we need to follow including the type of equipment used, the size of the crew we’ll send out, the types of materials we’ll use, and the number of hours required to complete the project.  We work with nearly all major insurance carriers.
3. Get a jump start.  One very important step that property owners can take to reduce the overall cost of restoration is to attack the situation immediately.  Don’t wait.  Waiting to start the drying process can actually lead to more structural weakening and mold growth.  Mold will take hold in less than 72 hours.  All it needs is moisture and a food source (cellulose, such as wet wooden wall studs for instance).
4. Restoring Your Structure.  Assuming that the damage began with a leaky roof, we are going to start there by sealing and renovating it.  Next, we’ll address the ceiling and restore it to its former condition.
