How to Handle Storm Damage at your Retail Business in Green Hills

10/5/2022 (Permalink)

If you’ve lived in Middle Tennessee for a while now, you may be familiar with stormy seasons and their impact on the southeast, especially if you manage a retail business. While inclement weather is most common in the south during springtime, fall storms are not to be taken lightly! Flooding, droughts, lightning, and wind damage resulting from fall storm damage are commonplace. Mold as a result of too much moisture is also not uncommon. If your retailer is experiencing the above effects of storm damage, there is no one better to call than SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville! We are storm damage specialists serving cities in all of Nashville’s surrounding neighborhoods with over 50 years of experience. 

What Does The Storm Damage Restoration Process Look Like In Green Hills?

• The first step starts with calling us! Our rep will ask a series of pointed questions to help us better understand your storm damage scenario so we can bring the appropriate resources to the scene. 
• Once we arrive, we will conduct a water damage assessment which follows the initial inspection. This lets us know the scope of your water damage incident and how far the moisture has traveled. 
• In the third step, the bulk of the water removal process, we’ll extract hundreds of gallons of water using our industry-grade vacuum units. This helps prevent further damage and stop mold growth at the source. 
• Once we remove water, we begin drying using our powerful air movers and dehumidifiers. Before the equipment is brought out, our technicians will assess relative humidity, room measurements, and temperature to determine how much equipment is needed. 
• Our process doesn’t stop after water extraction and drying- we will deep clean your Green Hills retailer using several techniques, including dry cleaning and immersion cleaning. 
• Once all five steps are complete, we can move forward with restoration, including minor repairs like installing new carpeting and replacing drywall, or major repairs such as full reconstruction of your retailer. 

What Is Our Contents Claim Inventory Service, And How Can It Help Your Retail Business? 

Our Contents Claim Inventory Service, or CCIS, is our database that provides thorough documentation of all your belongings. This repository takes stock of your contents room by room with digital photos and, in some cases, barcoding. Some benefits of our CCIS for your Green Hills retailer include:

• Value of contents preloss
• Assisting you with a burden of proof to settle claims quickly
• Streamlined process outlining a list of contents for a more effective claims process
• Peace of mind during a stressful time

We hope you gained some insights on our storm damage restoration process and how our CCIS relates to getting your retailer back on track.
