Can I Keep My Business Open During Restoration?

For any good business, one of the most significant concerns after suffering water damage is how long they need to close. Can they remain open while the office is being restored? Every business wants to keep its doors open as much as possible to avoid losing customers and revenue.

SERVPRO's objective is to complete your business's restoration after a water damage event in Newington as quickly as possible. We may be able to keep your business open during cleaning and drying activities. We can review the amount of water damage, whether it impacts the entire commercial space, and safety issues to help make this decision. Safety is the overriding concern for your employees and customers. We may be able to complete the job faster if access by customers and employees is limited; however, ultimately, this is a business decision for the commercial owner.

Can I Turn Off the Equipment During Business Hours?

There is a trade-off between running noisy equipment during business hours and trying to conduct normal business operations. The cost to run the equipment is less than $5.00 per day, depending on the loss's size. Allowing moisture to remain inside your commercial building increases the risk of mold growth and generating additional damage. Various structural components and business materials exposed to humidity increase the risk of permanent damage over an extended period.

SERVPRO strongly recommends that the equipment not be turned off at any time until moisture levels have returned to normal and your commercial space is thoroughly dried. Alternative arrangements may need to be considered, such as temporary office space, business continuity insurance to cover expenses and work from home possibilities. Our team is very much aware of these issues. We can work with your employees to mitigate the impact as much as possible.
