Commercial Flood Damage Experts

Any time a severe thunderstorm makes its way to Norristown, flooding can occur. Thunderstorms bring about high-speed winds and excessive rains in short amounts of time. When water builds up outside, it can easily make its way into your office building, ruining items inside the structure. Tree branches and rocks can get taken by the fast winds and thrown into windows or exterior walls creating holes for rainwater to enter. When things get broken inside your place of business, it can make your workplace dangerous for you and your employees. When structural components get saturated, they often lose their structural integrity which can create safety hazards.

Any time a disaster strikes your office complex, various types of safety issues need to be addressed for all of the occupants to be 100% safe. As soon as we arrive at the scene of commercial flood damage in Norristown, we take measures to identify any potential safety hazards. We know that keeping your business functioning during the restoration process is vital. However, for your company to remain operating our SERVPRO experts must first make sure the building is safe for our workers and yours.

Several hazards could exist when a property is damaged by water. Personal hazards involve confined spaces, chemical safety, slip, trip and fall issues. Environmental hazards include hazardous materials, structural hazards, and electrical hazards. Biohazards on a job site can include infectious wastes and mold.

As soon as our SERVPRO restoration crew arrives at your office, we begin assessing the safety of the building. We ask you or an experienced employee about any known safety issues. We then begin a safety evaluation that is unique to each situation. We know that every structure is built differently and that every storm can cause various types of damage to structural components.

Before beginning any work, our SERVPRO technicians complete a safety evaluation. The evaluation consists of a safety checklist that includes a long list of potential hazards to investigate. The next time a storm floods out your office complex, call SERVPRO of Norristown at (610) 272-8520 24/7.
