Business Interruption Insurance-Do I Need That
3/1/2022 (Permalink)
A recent survey showed that 40% of small businesses have no insurance, and 75% of businesses are underinsured. Many small/medium businesses do not have insurance to cover expenses caused by a natural disaster or lawsuit. If the unwanted occurs, the restoration time that follows can hurt business owners even more.
Restoration is defined as the length of time or duration needed to repair, rebuild, and replace damaged building properties. Business interruption insurance will help provide your company with compensation to avoid loss of income in the event you experience damage to your building or equipment during a disastrous event. This support can buy your business precious time needed to get back up and running, without having to close your doors forever. It will even pay you profits (or, for nonprofits, net earnings) that you would have earned if there had been no loss.
As a business owner, it is ideal for you to understand the importance of each insurance policy format including the terminologies and practicality of the corresponding norms.
This piece of content provides a snapshot of incidents and insurance claims that business owners across the United States experienced from 2016 to 2019.
Natural disasters
In 2019, natural disasters inflicted losses up to $25.5 billion in the United States. While severe thunderstorms accounted for 80% of these losses, cyclones and winter storms accounted for 8 % of total insured losses.

Commercial Fire

What You Should Do After Your Commercial Fire Alarm System Goes Off
You are sitting at your desk at work, the commercial fire alarm system sounds, of course your first reaction should always be to evacuate to safety. You know what to do everyone has practiced this during fire drills. Here is what you need to know about what you should expect after your commercial fire alarm system goes off.
Your Fire Sprinklers Will Activate
Most of us believe that fire alarm and the fire sprinkler systems work in unison. This is simply not true; most alarm systems are not tied together with the fire sprinkler system. The alarm system is activated one of two ways; either the fire alarm is manually pulled, or smoke gets into the detector and at this point the system sets itself off. With the sprinkler system it is only activated if the heat from the fire reaches the sprinkler head. Then the sprinkler in that specific area will release to extinguish the fire. Smoke sets off the fire alarm system, it takes some time for heat to get to the sprinkler head, to allow people to get out of the building and to safety.
Exit Immediately
Commercial buildings by low should have a clearly posted evacuation plan already in place. The alarm if your first sign there could be trouble in the building. You should calmly start following the buildings evacuation plan. Once the building is emptied and your office makes it to their designated meeting spot. A pre-designated individual, preferably the office manager as they usually know who is in or out that day, should ensure that every last person got out of the building safely. If you are missing anyone, do not re-enter the building. Instead, wait until the first responders have arrived and notify them immediately.
Emergency Services
Some commercial fire alarm systems have incorporated monitoring system that notify first responders that there could be a potential fire. These systems get first responders dispatched immediately which helps with quicker arrival times. We suggest manually calling 911 after everyone is evacuated and safe, just to ensure they are aware of what is going on and are in route.
After the Fire
After the fire has been extinguished and your building has been deemed safe to re-enter by the fire department, have everyone enter and remove any valuables. Unfortunately, many commercial fires leave buildings more susceptible to break-ins, so it is critical to get all valuable items out before leaving. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible. The recovery and rebuilding process is dependent on your insurance policy and the results of the fire investigation (if there is one). An insurance adjuster will travel to your commercial property, survey the damage, and offer their recommendations to the insurance company. Commercial fires can be very frightening for everyone involved but preparing for a fire can mean the difference between a smooth recovery and a scary and damaging event.
Be Prepared
Last, but not least, remember to have your fire alarm system inspected and serviced regularly to ensure it is in proper working order. If you have a fire, it is especially important this system, gets checked, repaired, and serviced accordingly. Nobody wants to imagine another fire striking their property, but it is critical that your alarm system continues to function properly.

Actions to take in the event of sewage backup:
You can try the following few things when there is a sewage backup in your business:
- If you have an automatic system, turn it off and ensure that all drains are clear of standing water.
- Turn off all humidifiers, space heaters, or steam systems whether you are using power or not.
- Make sure to remove the air intake vents from the top of your septic tanks regularly to minimize system spills due to ventilation
- Ensure that the fire doors are closed and locked
- Learn the warning signs of any backups (water pooling, smell in a restaurant or business) to avoid long-term damage
- Seek the assistance of registered tank cleaners to inspect your tank monthly, as these will usually be able to tell if there is something wrong with your current bacteria levels and other concerns that can lead to sewage backup

What To Look For In A Commercial Remediation Company
2/11/2022 (Permalink)
Today, businesses face strict environmental regulations from a complex web of federal, state and local government bodies. As such, you must ensure that you are optimally supported by your environmental remediation services provider. Having the right provider is critical to quickly and cost-efficiently completing your developmental projects and maximizing revenue and profit margins. Here are a few reasons you should hire SERVPRO for all your cleaning and restoration needs:
- Geographic Reach and Location
While this may seem a fairly obvious criterion, it’s importance cannot be overstated. Having a service provider local to your site means that you will receive expedited services when you need them. Moreover, in-person meetings are critical throughout projects, as they bring out nuanced details and help to develop site-specific details that can be the difference between success and failure. With SERVPRO you have over 1,700 locations across the United States and Canada.
- Experience, Education and Licensure
Staff experience and education greatly impact all phases of an environmental remediation project. You should look for a firm that is not only IICRC Firm Certified, but has there technicians IICRC certified too. Additionally, a few years’ experience is not sufficient. The learning curve is long in environmental remediation. Consider some of the basic licensing requirements :
- At least eight years of full-time professional experience in the field of site remediation, of which at least five years shall have occurred in the state work is being performed in. .
- A minimum of 5,000 hours of relevant professional experience within the state is being performed in. Over the five years immediately prior to submission of the application that is of a professional grade and character that indicates the applicant is competent.
- Has completed a Board-approved course on the State’s rules and regulations concerning the technical requirements for site remediation no more than three years prior to submission of the application;
- Produced, or participated in producing, workplans and/or reports for each phase of the site remediation process; and
- Knowledge of and experience with meeting the Department’s administrative requirements including, but not limited to, requirements pertaining to submittal of forms, regulatory and mandatory timeframes, applicable fees, presumptive remedies, remedial action permits, and public notification.
When it comes to licensing, make sure the environmental remediation services firm is certified in the specific services you currently need and may need in the future. Towns and municipalities require you to provide vendor proof of licensure in order to grant you a permit for project work, and they will not grant permits without the proper certifications.
- Quality and Responsiveness
Quality environmental remediation can mean the difference between your next project’s success and utter failure. This is why you should perform due diligence regarding the reference clients a potential provider offers you. Go beyond the reference clients and investigate their failed project information on your own, avoiding the temptation to contact just those references most pleased with a firm’s work.
A firm’s level of responsiveness will become evident as you explore their posturing toward you and the service timing guarantees they offer. Do they provide you with a dedicated account person who is knowledgeable and quick to return your communications? Do they promote emergency services? Do they have the right relationships with institutions to gain the full support you need to react fast to unforeseen situations?
The answers to these questions, and evidence of how they answered the call for previous clients, should help you determine their response capabilities.
- Breadth of Services
Consider the four phases of the site remediation process: preliminary assessment, site investigation, remedial investigation, and remedial action. Your service firm should have deep experience implementing the regulatory, scientific and technical portions of each phase. Ask yourself if they can investigate, design and implement well enough to succeed.
The following services should be standard offers with any environmental remediation services firm:
- 7x24x365 emergency response
- Industrial cleaning
- Water remediation
- Fire remediation
- Mold remediation
- Crime Scene/Bio-Hazard Remediation
- Insurance
Environmental remediation projects tend to last longer and cost more than organizations plan them to. Depending on pre-project assurances by your organization and the level of injury and damages caused by the environmental damage, you run the risk of losing millions of dollars of unanticipated liability. Therefore, you will want to be certain that your service provider has more than just the bare minimum of insurance coverage and actually has enough insurance to protect your investment. That means having millions of dollars of coverage in the following coverage areas:
- General liability
- Automobile liability
- Workers compensation
- Contractors pollution
- Errors and omissions
- Umbrella/excess liability (the largest of all)
- Financial Stability
You want to know that your call will be answered and that the appropriate high-quality services will be there when you need them. You also must finish what you start when it comes to environmental cleanup. These are the two greatest reasons for ensuring that your services firm is financially stable.
- Longevity
Start-up companies and fly-by-night business models are great in the mobile app and gaming markets, but they are not acceptable in the environmental services market. This is the time you want to play it safe and only consider service companies with long, well-established track records of success. Anything less than 15 years of proven success with hundreds of clients is simply not worth the risk to your business.

Protecting Your Business
2/10/2022 (Permalink)
Business interruption risk refers to the monetary loss a company suffers when its operations are disrupted. This loss includes both observable components, such as reduced sales and increased cost of working, and hidden components, such as loss of future revenue streams due to potential reputational damage.
Business interruption insurance is insurance coverage that is available to help replace a business’ income lost after a disaster strikes. The event could be, for example, a fire or a natural disaster. Business interruption insurance is not sold as a separate policy but is either added to a property/casualty policy or included in a comprehensive package policy as an add-on or rider.
It is impossible to plan for the unforeseen. But business interruption insurance is one sure fire way to protect yourself. Also referred to as “business income” coverage, it is the best way to keep your business moving forward. If you are a business whose location is vital to being profitable, you need this coverage. If a catastrophic loss causes your business to close temporarily, most business will not survive without this type of coverage.
Protect yourself and your business. Call your agent today and ask about Business Interruption insurance. Remember SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County is always here to help when disaster strikes. Call us 24/7 at 850-939-4700.

What to do after Water Damage Effects Your Business
2/10/2022 (Permalink)
What to do after you discover water in your commercial facility?
- Safety First
The first step is to make sure the building is safe. Safety hazards from falling ceilings to electrical hazards may be present. If it looks like a ceiling or wall might fall do not enter the room. Place a warning sign and lock the door if possible. Be careful of water that has come through electrical panels or outlets. Old or damaged breakers may not trip, and the area may have live electricity running through it. If necessary and safe to do so, it may be best to shut the electricity off. If in doubt stay away from the area until a professional can inspect the damages.
- Stop the Source of Water
If you know where the water is coming from and can turn it off at its source, do it. Larger commercial buildings should have separate valves for each area. This way you are not shutting down the entire building. If you do not know these locations, contact the building engineer or facility manager. If the roof has failed find a company to tarp or construct a temporary roof. Most commercial restoration companies should have a solution for you if needed.
- Documentation
It may be a day or even a few weeks before the adjuster arrives. Pictures of standing water will help your adjuster justify the claim. If demolition is necessary, then those pictures may be the only proof that the facility was wet. Videos are even better and can cover more area in a short period of time.
- Get the Water Out
It is easiest to remove water in its liquid form. Using mops, squeegees, wet vacs, or even towels will help start the process. A restoration company or even a carpet cleaning company will have powerful extraction tools to remove standing water fast. As the water begins to saturate building materials it will have to be removed through evaporation and dehumidification, which will take more time and energy.
- Start Dehumidification Before Evaporation
Removing moisture from the air is a key component of drying a commercial facility. While many people’s first instinct is to put fans on wet areas, this may cause more harm than good. Too much evaporation may lead to the dew point, or 100% relative humidity. Cranking the HVAC down to fast may also lead to the same situation. As condensation begins, building material will begin to sweat. Unaffected areas begin to absorb moisture and secondary damages occur. If the condition persists, mold growth may begin to form. Before forcing evaporation, it is important to know the temperature, humidity, and dew point.
- Damage Inspection
The damage inspection should include an initial moisture map. Specialized tools help determine the extent of and severity of the water damage. Thermo-hygrometers will show things such as dewpoint and humidity. Thermal cameras will show temperature differentials and can help pinpoint hidden moisture. As a word of caution, be wary of those who rely on thermal cameras alone. The camera will only show temperature differentials, not actual moisture content. Moisture meters verify what is wet and give quantitative readings.
- Set a Structural Drying Strategy and Mitigation Plan
After the inspection, there should be enough information to create a plan or strategy. The plan should include at least the following:
- Quantity of air movers or fans
- Amount and type of dehumidification
- What areas or building materials are wet, and the current % of moisture in those materials
- The drying goal, or point at which those materials are dry
- What materials will need demolition and when they will be removed
- The estimated time frame of the project
- The estimated cost of the project or at least the initial phases of the project
Several other items such as chain of communication and billing are important, but it is paramount that the customer understands and agrees with the mitigation plan. There should be consensus before signing a contract. This will help keep the project on track and avoid future discrepancies.

Discovering Mold In A Commercial Building
2/10/2022 (Permalink)
Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health effects.
Mold spores can be found anywhere; they can grow on any organic substance if moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth can often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors.
Molds reproduce by making spores that usually cannot be seen without magnification. Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive. Molds gradually destroy the things they grow on.
Many types of molds exist. All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Others are known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants. Potential health concerns are an important reason to prevent mold growth and to remediate/clean up any existing indoor mold growth.

WHY THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY OF DIALYSIS CENTERS AND HOSPITALS CAN'T BE NEGLECTED
2/6/2020 (Permalink)
Indoor air quality is a major concern for dialysis centers and hospitals around the country. Dialysis and medical centers are especially vulnerable to mold, which compromises the integrity of air quality. But what makes dialysis centers and hospitals so prone to mold growth, and what does that mean for indoor air quality? SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County can help with your mold analysis.
If you help operate a dialysis center or a hospital, you can’t afford to overlook the threat that mold poses for your air quality. Here are some of the reasons why your center is vulnerable to mold and why it matters:
Vulnerability: There are quite a few reasons why dialysis centers and hospitals are prone to mold infestations…
- Dialysis centers: They can harbor multiple mold infestations if they are not properly maintained. Since dialysis centers use reverse osmosis water therapy, moisture is an integral part of the daily practice of dialysis centers. Improperly maintained dialysis centers can be breeding grounds for mold.
- Hospitals and medical centers: There is plenty of moisture to go around in hospitals and medical centers. Combine the prevalence of moisture with the combination of all sorts of bacteria and chemicals, and you have a recipe for mold infestation and, as a result, poor indoor air quality.
- Health: Poor indoor air quality can be detrimental to health, especially for those going through the volatile process of recovery. Airborne mold can cause allergic reactions, such as sneezing, coughing, and bodily irritation. When people are trying to overcome an illness or recover from surgery, the air must be as clean as possible.
- More mold: Indoor air quality problems can lead to serious mold infestations. If the air quality is not properly regulated, then mold can infest countless surfaces in the building.
What You Can Do About Your Indoor Air Quality
There are plenty of actions that you can take to make sure that your center meets the highest indoor air quality standards. We at SERVPRO of Santa Rosa County will be glad to have a mold analysis done and have your results in 24-48 hours.
