Are high street stores at risk of flooding?

A high street retailer located in the center of a Largo, where there may be more congested drainage systems, may fare worse than malls and retail parks in the face of flooding. Unfortunately, business flooding can affect retail stores and give them little opportunity to re-open their doors in the immediate future. This can be incredibly tough for independent retailers as local economies are squeezed, and temporary closure affects monthly trade revenues. SERVPRO is a qualified commercial flood recovery service that can enter the property, remove water, and restore any damages to a preloss condition.

When is it safe to re-open a business after flooding?

• Once the property is dry and free from contamination
• The property has had a full safety inspection
• Sometimes, a visit from an industrial hygienist may be necessary before re-opening

Is my business safe after flooding?

Part of the job of commercial flood damage technicians is to protect your Largo business. Most retailers have large window displays. These can often be broken by flash flooding, high winds, or flying debris. SERVPRO technicians can install full boards over windows to secure a structure during the period of closure. These board-ups can be essential to preventing looting or unlawful entry while restoration services are underway.

Our IICRC-certified technicians may also be able to recommend temporary security services to protect the premises and include fees within our overall service to ensure you only deal with one point of contact.

How does flooding hurt a business?

• Stock damages as well as building damage that can be expensive to repair
• A loss of revenues during a temporary closure or restoration
• Higher chances of looting, trespass, or other forms of illegal activity
