Commercial Water Cleanup And Restoration For Telluride Businesses

Restoring Telluride businesses after a water intrusion can be a simple water removal from a customer service area to a massive cleaning and drying operation in a stockroom or basement storage area. Despite some of the severe storms that can strike our state, most flood problems in a commercial facility result from a faulty sprinkler system or a rusted-out pipe.

Regarding Telluride commercial water cleanup, SERVPRO response teams understand that the structure needs immediate water removal and drying. Every technician and specialist trains extensively to return every business to an operable, dry state to serve customers and ensure employees get paid. That is especially important for a small business like a hair salon.

Unless the owner runs the business as a franchise operation, she does not have the benefit of access to a major company’s network for disaster benefits and insurance. Because of that, she may still be able to pay the rent but not pay her employees while our restoration team dries out her facility and restores the structure and property to a usable condition, safe for customers.

Before arriving at her salon, the SERVPRO team leader provides the owner with a shortlist of items. This To-Do list assists with initial efforts and keeps the owner involved in the process. Efforts include:

• Turning off the water
• Limiting access to the structure
• Have the insurance policy and contact information ready

These simple steps perform some key actions. They eliminate additional water from entering the hair salon, which keeps the level down and reduces the amount of damage to walls and property. Reduced access stops splashing around, which further reduces property damage Finally, every insurance company has a thorough list of what items they pay to replace or restore. Immediately getting this information allows team members to dispose of all property not considered restorable, so cleaning and repair efforts can begin as quickly as possible.
