Are you prepared if your commercial property experiences a flood?

As a business owner, you must protect your property. You likely have insurance that will cover you in case of theft, fire, or other serious property damage, but not all policies cover flood damage.

Even if you don't live in an area prone to flooding, one burst pipe is all it takes to create a big problem.

Have digital backups of all paper files.

No matter how well you prepare, your paper files are at risk if storm damage is a possibility. If you don’t already have digital copies of your important paperwork, now is the time to create these backups. Doing so can save you days' worth of headaches during the restoration process.

-Property deeds

-Insurance policies

-Inventory lists

-Employee information

-Company handbooks and policies

-Client or customer information

While you aren't likely to get away from flooding with no damage at all, following these steps will help you protect much of your property. Less time spent cleaning up means more time getting back into the swing of doing business. If you have water damage and need help call SERVPRO of Gainesville, GA at 770-536-1010.
