IMMEDIATE RESPONSE AND THE SERVPRO EMERGENCY READY PROFILE

9/27/2018 (Permalink)

Flooding and water emergencies don’t wait for regular business hours and neither do we. SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill provides emergency cleaning and restoration services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to our local communities. You can expect an immediate response time, day or night, if you experience an emergency in the greater Long Beach area.

In many cleaning and restoration situations, immediate action is needed. Fortunately, SERVPRO is strategically positioned to be faster to any size emergency. If you find yourself outside of our serviceable area, you may contact over 1,700 U.S. and Canadian franchise locations. Our immediate response helps to minimize the damage, cleaning, and restoration costs.

Many emergencies that we encounter include some type of water damage. Water is particularly invasive, quickly spreading throughout your property and permeating floors, walls, and furniture. SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill arrives quickly and starts the water extraction process almost immediately.

Within minutes, water quickly spreads throughout your property. It saturates everything in its path, absorbing into walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings. Between 1 and 24 hours, drywall begins to swell and break down, metal surfaces begin to tarnish, and furniture begins to crack. Within 48 hours to a week, mold and mildew may grow and spread, and doors, windows, and studs start to warp. Metal begins to rust and corrode, and furniture distorts, showing signs of mold. After a week, restoration time and cost increase dramatically; replacing contaminated materials and structural rebuilding may be extensive.

Even though disaster strikes unexpectedly, you can always plan ahead of time. By utilizing the SERVPRO Emergency READY Program for your business, you can create an Emergency READY Profile for your establishment, at no charge. You can work with SERVPRO to gather and document information that will become critical if a disaster strikes. Once the profile is created, you will have access to your information 24/7 online and by using SERVPRO’s free smartphone app.

With proper planning, you can land back on your feet faster than ever. Don’t incur more damage and expense by waiting to contact a professional. SERVPRO of Downtown Long Beach / Signal Hill is ready to respond any time or day of the year.
