No one wants to think about the possibility of a fire damaging their business but unfortunately, disasters such as fires do happen to businesses all the time. From faulty wires to lightning strikes to discarded cigarette butts, flames can erupt in any business. Business owners have options when it comes to facing fire damage. They can wait until something actually happens, and then deal with it, hoping for the best, or they can take the opportunity to work with SERVPRO of East Phoenix to design a plan to anticipate issues and put in place a plan of practical solutions ahead any disasters.

When fire damage occurs in your business

Operating a business is tough if commercial fire damage occurs. Regardless of what kind of brick-and-mortar business you have, your responsibility is to keep the doors open and provide the services or products your customers expect. Unfortunately, if a fire sends flames surging through your business, you’ll face possibly closing down until the experts arrive to get the situation handled. Without a plan, that can waste precious time and money. The best plan of action is to work on a proactive emergency plan to streamline efforts to get you back in business fast.

What does an emergency response plan entail?

SERVPRO creates a comprehensive disaster response action strategy for fire damage or other disasters with significant input from you. Our Emergency Ready Plan and Profile (ERP) is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We take the time to visit your company and to talk with you to assess your needs and understand how you deliver your goods or services. The assessment is free of charge but allows us to make a variety of suggestions to limit your risk if your commercial space does experience a fire. Our experienced project manager walks through your business and sketches out your layout, including vital information like utility shutoff locations, points of contact, and much more. We gather information, take pictures, and determine how we will best meet your needs if your site is fire damaged.

How SERVPRO’s ERP works

On the app, indicate that SERVPRO of East Phoenix is your preferred provider. List any vendors and contractors who have essential information about your equipment and systems. Designate employees or others whom you allow to act on your behalf if you are unavailable during the crisis.
