5 Steps to Take After Storm Damage
5 Steps to Take After Storm Damage
Step 1: Make Sure Everyone Is Safe
The primary concern after a storm is to ensure the safety of everyone on the property. Look for any broken power lines or downed trees, and be sure to use caution when inspecting the storm damage. If you suspect a gas leak, don’t enter the area until the proper authorities have been contacted.
Step 2: Assess the Storm Damage
Once it’s safe to enter the area, carefully assess the storm damage done to your commercial building. Take photos of the storm damage, and make a list of any items that may have been damaged or destroyed. Look for any signs of water damage, as well as any structural damage to the property.
Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible and provide them with the details of the storm damage to your commercial building. Don’t make any repairs or throw away any damaged items until you’ve consulted your insurance provider.
Step 4: Secure Your Property
After assessing the damage and contacting your insurance company, the next step is to secure your property. This can include boarding up windows, patching holes in the roof, and making any other necessary repairs to ensure that your commercial property is safe from further damage.
Step 5: Make Necessary Repairs
Once you’ve contacted your insurance company, you can start making the necessary repairs. If you have any significant damage, it’s best to hire a professional contractor, such as Triton Renovation, to make the repairs.
