“What’s different about commercial buildings?”
Identifying a good commercial restoration company like SERVPRO of North Shasta, Trinity & Greater Tehama Counties is vital to the continued operation of a business or facility.
The primary purpose of a residential home is to accommodate personal living space. Commercial structures such as: warehouses, churches, hotels, retail stores, military bases, libraries, government facilities, manufacturing plants, hospitals, clinics, convention centers, apartment complexes, theatres, restaurants, distribution centers, schools / universities, office spaces, airports, and sports complexes offer a multitude of additional functions.
Because SERVPRO is a national restoration provider specializing in commercial large-loss projects we have at our disposal the ability to immediately scale and call to action a massive array of personnel, equipment and resources to meet the need of any commercial structure.
Commercial facilities, if they are greatly impacted by damage, require more time for scoping, planning, and estimating including additional management, labor, equipment and supplies. Commercial restoration typically requires more layers of planning than typical home property damage restoration projects. Multiple decision-making individuals are involved such as property owner, tenant, property manager, insurance carrier or building consultant. Businesses need to get back in business fast. Many have “business continuation” or “business interruption insurance” and the insurance carrier, of course, is motivated to get the job done quickly to keep the payout of BI coverage as low as possible.
Depending on the level of damage public access will be limited and the role of security increases to protect the commercial structure, clean-up, inventory, property and equipment. Also, many facilities have leased or rented equipment requiring authorization before moving or servicing. Additionally, damage to the property presents safety hazards. These could be opened hazmat or biohazard containers, chemicals, and exposed electrical and gas connections. Restoration work could require equipment not usually associated with residential repair such as forklifts and scaffolding and multi-story lift machinery. Commercial buildings are usually outfitted with industrial HVAC units, high voltage electrical components and including computer networks, ethernet cable, lithium battery back up units and server racks.
