Here Are Some Ways That Storms Can Damage Your Business

1/25/2023 (Permalink)

Winter storms are not to be taken lightly. Middle Tennessee is known for its unforgiving rains and occasional hail storms, especially during winter. As a result, we experience relatively frequent flooding, water damage, and storm damage. If not taken care of promptly, mold and mildew can become an issue, and that can cause a strain on your business’s daily operations. As locally owned business owners ourselves, we understand the stress of putting everything on hold to take care of rebuilding your business. That’s why SERVPRO offers highly efficient move-outs, pack-outs, and a temporary warehouse space to prevent further onsite damage. When storm damage takes over your life, we help you take it back!

In What Ways Can Storm Damage Shake Up Your Belle Meade Business? 

• Minutes matter after a storm has flooded your property! Water spreads rapidly, saturating everything in sight. 
• By the first day, you may notice that drywall may begin to swell and crack, and a musty odor starts to make itself known. 
• Within the first week after storm damage, you may notice paint beginning to blister and metal starting to rust and corrode.

What Should You Do While Waiting For The Professionals To Arrive On The Scene? 

• Make sure it is safe to go back inside after a storm hits! Once you’ve determined it is, blot and mop excess water instead of scrubbing. 
• Prop and remove wet upholstery and cushions.
• Be careful when picking up wet materials- they can be heavy!
• Place aluminum foil or wood blocks in between wet carpeting and furniture legs.
