Tips For Minimizing Commercial Damage And Loss

If you are suffering from devastating damage to your commercial building in Yonkers, NY, it is critical to act quickly. Finding a restoration service that has professionals standing by all hours of the day and night is crucial to reduce damage and loss. A quick response to the problem is important when you submit an insurance claim as well.

Reduce Claim Costs with SERVPRO

Restoring property is always preferable to replacing it because it keeps expenses down. SERVPRO understands this process. Each professional is trained to follow certain steps aimed at reducing the costs associated with your claim.

Pretesting - An expert will examine the property to determine what can be restored and what must be replaced.

Claims Inventory - The inventory list itemizes the materials, furniture and equipment that you have lost, along with pictures of the more important items that can’t be saved.

Electronic Claims Files - Insurance claim information is stored in a database to help your adjuster determine an accurate accounting of the costs in restoring the property.

Assure That Professionals Are Properly Trained

SERVPRO professionals go through a rigorous, self-paced training program to properly restore your property. There are a number of certification programs available to employees, including modules in fire and water restoration, carpet and upholstery cleaning and crew training.

SERVPRO franchises are individually owned and operated, but each one also has access to corporate training and materials. Approved as a training facility for the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, corporate classes are offered all year in water restoration, fire restoration, applied structural drying and carpet cleaning.
Training at the corporate facility is also available to new franchises in mold mitigation and fire and water restoration.

These training programs and cost reduction techniques are among the many reasons your insurance agent is likely to prefer you to work with a SERVPRO franchise.

Before you file that insurance claim, make sure you are working with a professional.
