Riverside Businesses Benefit from Using the SERVPRO ERP Plan

Use SERVPRO's ERP Plan to Help Prevent and Mitigate Losses

Water has the potential to damage any business. A broken pipe or leaking faucet in your Riverside business could lead to temporary closure or water damage to equipment or furnishings such as your carpet or drapes. Any closure or destruction is bad news for your business because not only do you lose money when you are closed, but you also have to pay to replace any damaged items. That is why SERVPRO recommends salons have a water removal plan in place to guide you should the worst happen.
 
Your Riverside business might need water removal at any time. You cannot always prevent leaks or spills from occurring, but you can draw up an emergency plan so that you and your staff know what to do and whom to call in the case of an emergency. We recommend including these key points.
 
Who to call in an emergency: Make sure everyone knows whom to call when something happens. Include managers, emergency services if necessary, and of course, do not forget to add SERVPRO. Our IICRC-certified technicians have free standing and truck mounted pumps and a range of extraction tools on hand to deal with any water removal needs.
 
The chain of command: Your staff needs to know whom to call and who is responsible for each aspect of the cleanup and water removal operation.
 
Insurance details: Ensure everyone knows how to contact your insurers and has all the insurance details to hand. Not all business insurance covers water removal so make sure you have the right coverage in place before anything happens.
 
Action steps: Set out a list of action steps to take, for example moving items to a higher position, or stopping the flow of water until the emergency services arrive, if possible.
 
Plan for reopening: The idea is to get your business up and running again as fast as possible. Have a plan in place to make the process smoother and easier.
 
The SERVPRO Ready Profile Plan has an easy to use app that makes it easy for business owners to plan for water removal and other incidents. You get the guidance you need to assess your premises and draw up an emergency plan, and also receive downloadable forms and plans you can use in an emergency.
