Extreme weather like severe storms and rains don't take a rest day, especially during spring! Nashville is known for its heavy rains during this time of year, with May being the wettest month and April coming in at a close second. We understand how devastating it can be to have your West End commercial property submerged due to heavy flooding from a business standpoint. As business owners ourselves, we know how impactful severe storms can be on business operations and productivity. While there's never a convenient time for storm damage to stop by your business, you can rely on the experts to help with the restoration and cleanup process should you need it. 

What Do You Need To Know About Deep Cleaning Your West End Business After A Storm? 

• Make sure you get proper safety gear! This can range from hard hats and goggles and, if you're dealing with sewage, rubber boots and gloves. 
• Don't ignore those downed power lines! This is the most typical hazard after a storm, and you should NEVER try to move these objects, even if they appear dormant. 
• Floodwater can contain harmful bacteria, so tread lightly! It is crucial to know the differences between contaminated water types before moving forward with the restoration and cleanup process. 
• Clearing indoor water safely should be your main priority! Shut off the power right away if it's safe to enter your building. If not, have your company turn off the power from outside. You can then remove excess water by blotting and mopping while you are waiting for our crew. 
• Have all flooded buildings disinfected after water removal. This is where you would need the professionals. With over 50 years of experience in biohazard cleanup using OSHA-approved cleaning solutions, our team of restoration experts at SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville can take on your disaster! 
• You also need to take temporary protective measures for your West End commercial property by placing roof tarps and board-ups to prevent additional damage and secure your building.
