Mitigating Storm Impact on Your Office with SERVPRO

12/21/2023 (Permalink)

Sometimes, no matter how much you prepare, storm damage can severely impact your office building. Our team at SERVPRO of Belle Meade/West Nashville has witnessed the damage of severe winter storms, so we know exactly where to start when it comes to picking up the pieces. Here are some tips on what to do to make the impact of a winter storm less severe–starting with calling SERVPRO, of course! 

What To Do In Case of Storm Damage

• Once you have confirmed that everyone in the office is safe, your top priority is to call SERVPRO. We are disaster restoration experts that can handle problems that are surface level and structural. Our team will be on the move, ready to help as soon as we get your call.
• Do not try to pick up wet belongings or furniture. Objects are much heavier when they are wet, and you may hurt yourself! Slip and fall hazards are also one of the top forms of injury during flooding, so it is best to move with caution throughout your building.
• If you work in an office and experience flooding or storm damage, one of your main concerns is likely preserving documents or computers and other electronic devices. Do not attempt to turn on or operate any electrical device that you suspect has been damaged by water–you could be electrocuted! 

How SERVPRO Restores Essential Office Items 

• When your valuable documents are damaged by water, SERVPRO technicians will use extreme caution to help ensure the water damage does not destroy the document. Although some documents may not be restored to pre-water damage condition, SERVPRO of Belle Meade/West Nashville can save a great deal and help minimize additional damage. Depending on the type of documents and the level of water damage, we have five options for the restoration of documents:
• Air Drying
• Dehumidification
• Freezer Drying
• Vacuum Freeze Drying

• The key to restoring electronics is taking prompt action to prevent further damage. We start by cleaning the exterior of electronic devices to help stop further corrosion and damage. Electronics will be cleaned and inspected by a qualified electronics technician. Types of electronics we can restore include:
