One of our local elementary schools had an abundance of water in it during one Long Island's spring storms. School was in session so this was an urgent matter. This needed to be taken care of immediately so the school session would not be disturbed.  SERVPRO® of Babylon/Deer Park was called to solve the problem and have the school back to normal and safe for the students return.

When SERVPRO went in the first thing that we needed to take care of was to clear everything off the floors. Also, get rid of anything that was damaged in the water. After that, all area (floors, walls, etc.) were sanitized and then it was dried properly. It was important to be done quickly and efficiently as to prevent the threat of mold to grow. The situation was taken care of professionally.

What You Don't See Can Hurt You

It is extremely important to have your HVAC system cleaned and maintained yearly. Most people will take out the permanent filters, wash and reinstall them.  Others take out the paper filters, discard and replace and think they are done. Please keep in mind this is not the correct way to fully clean and maintain your system.  Your system should be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. Keep in mind, your forced-air system could be a perfect, out of sight way to spread mold, dust, or other allergens throughout your home. 

At SERVPRO of Babylon/Deer Park we have trained crew members that will clean your entire HVAC system.  From air handler to the full duct system. 

Call us at 631 661-3802 for an estimate. Also, call us for any fire/water damage we are available 24/7. Here to Help®

8 Step Plan for your Business

12/28/2023 (Permalink)

There are unfortunate times some businesses are forced to close due to a disaster or emergency and are not able to reopen. Small businesses are especially vulnerable because they do not usually have the means to continue paying expenses when income is interrupted. By planning ahead your business can greatly reduce the chances of a disaster becoming a death sentence for your business.  Here are a few things that should be in place. 

Step 1.

Identify which natural disasters are most likely to occur in your area. Recognize that some disasters can be very localized like a tornado or brush fire and others can affect a wide area like hurricanes or floods. You will need a plan flexible enough to deal with both situations.

Step 2.

You should review your insurance protection. First, it is best to understand what is covered and what is not covered. For instance, while many business insurance policies cover loss of income that only applies to causes of loss specified in business insurance policies. Flood, earthquake, and acts of terrorism are often excluded as covered causes of loss. More so, when a disaster does not affect you directly, even if the cause of loss is covered, you would not be compensated for lost business income. Scenarios like this include a major supplier suspending operations or a significant part of your customer base being forced to evacuate due to flood or fire.

Once you understand what is covered you need to review the amounts of insurance that you  might need. You should confirm that your insurance protection will be enough to see you through a transition period and get your business up and running again.

Step 3.

Your employees should be assigned key responsibilities and make sure everyone knows who is responsible for what in the event of a disaster. Typical responsibilities include deciding whether to implement the emergency plan, contacting employees, setting up temporary operations, etc.

Step 4.

Make sure all employees have a copy of your emergency contact list which includes names, addresses, cell phone numbers, and email addresses.  Contact list should also include local fire, police, and federal authorities like FEMA and the SBA. You should also compile a list of your largest and most important suppliers and customers.

Step 5.

Back up your latest data of all important records and computer information. Your business will be up and running faster with up to date insurance. Few businesses can run for very long or recover very easily without the information that is the lifeblood of commerce.

Step 6.

Identify alternative business locations for the short and long term. Your business may have the meant to have employees work from their homes if your business location becomes inaccessible. But you may need to make provisions for temporary office space in the event that is not possible. Likewise, you may want to identify a facility where you could set up operations or outsource work during a recovery period. Always have a backup plan.

Step 7.

Have your inventory of business property and equipment including serial numbers.  Include the price, when bought, and vendor or retailer. You will need this information for insurance reimbursement and tax purposes should the business property become damaged or destroyed.

Step 8.

Walkthrough plans. Make sure you have a plan in tact what works! What looks good on paper often breaks down in practice. Consider different scenarios. For instance, if you will rely on cell phones for short-term communication what happens if the cellular network is down or overloaded? How will you let employees know what to do?

Storm Damage to your Home

12/28/2023 (Permalink)

During and after a storm your first priority needs to be the safety of your family.  Once your family is safe, you need to thoroughly document the damage to your property.  With the convenience of of cell phone cameras and other video devices, it is easier than ever to memorialize the damage caused by the storm and to easily provide the same to your insurance carrier. ALWAYS TAKE NOTE OF THE DAMAGES FOR PROOF!!

 Please insure you have pictures and other documentation from before the storm so that you can demonstrate to the insurance company the nature of your property and the condition of the same prior to the damage. Before and After pictures are very important. 

Once you are able to communicate, you should also immediately place your insurance company on notice of your loss.  Many insurance policies are now written to specifically mandate “immediate” notice of a loss, and insurance companies will often spend lots of money defending against the payment of your claim based upon an alleged “late notice” defense.

After notification of your claim, an adjuster from the insurance company will come to your property to inspect the damage.  It is crucially important that you point out any and all damage to your property so that the damage can be documented.

We are always here to help you through storm and flood damages.  Call SERVPRO of Babylon/Deer Park at 631-661-3802.

We are open 24/7 for emergency services.
