Giving back to Businesses

12/7/2021 (Permalink)

A business owner is always seeking ways to improve and to protect their investment. When you experience any type of damage to your property it can be exceedingly expensive and the structure being the most susceptible to damage.

There’s never a convenient time for flooding or storm damage to strike your business. Wind damage, heavy rain, and flooding can occur suddenly and cause substantial damage in a matter of minutes. We are here for all of your restoration needs.

As a leader in disaster clean up, restoration and prevention, the professionals at SERVPRO want to help protect your business. One of the ways we can help you do this is through a free Emergency Ready Profile. The creation of an emergency profile allows you to work with a qualified representative to develop a plan of action for when disaster strikes.

What is an ERP?

An Emergency Ready Profile is a file created for your business that contains an emergency plan of action. The floor plan of your business that identifies where the breaker panel(s) are located. Where the water turn-off(s) are located and pictures to help visualize. All your vendors contact information.

The ERP helps provide you with a level of security that many do not have after experiencing a disaster. This profile allows you to minimize any prolonged business interruption by ensuring that SERVPRO is ready and prepared to help with a simple phone call. After assessing your facility, identifying a line of command, and establishing an emergency profile, you will know that when disaster strikes, a qualified professional has your back and knows just what to do and who to contact.

Does It Matter for Your Business?

The research doesn’t lie: After a disaster occurs, many businesses — about 50 percent — have to close down. Having an Emergency Ready Profile in place allows SERVPRO to take action immediately following a disaster. By taking fast action, you can limit business interruption, meaning that you can get back to doing what you do best as quickly as possible. 

How Can You Get Started?

You can get started creating your emergency profile by contacting a representative at SERVPRO of Longview/Kelso or logging onto the ERP app. Once you have initiated contact, a representative will reach out to find out the best time to schedule your facility’s free assessment.

An ERP is an excellent way to protect your business and your interests. You can call a local representative at 360-703-3884 for help in creating your business's Emergency Ready Profile today.
