Restoring Your Business After a Flood
After the building has been declared safe for entry, follow these steps to start your business facility's recovery.
Contact your insurance company
- Begin the claims process as soon as possible, as insurance claims can often be daunting, long and frustrating.
- You can always provide more details later on, but the sooner you call your agent, the better.
Wear proper protective equipment
- As mentioned, floodwaters can bring dangerous items such as broken glass, metal fragments and other contaminants. To lessen the possibility of injuries, wear safety gear including gloves, closed toe shoes and waders if possible.
- To prevent cuts and infections, cover any exposed skin.
- It's alright to feel overwhelmed when you survey the damages a recent storm or flooding event has caused your business.
- As you perform damage assessment, do not forget to document them by taking photos or videos for your insurance claim and company records later on.
Clean and save what you can
- Search the rubble for unharmed or repairable items and keep them in a safe place until the restoration project is over.
- If the debris is safe to handle, clean the rubble to begin minor repairs. Ask the help of a professional storm damage restoration company to take care of major damages.
