Is Your Small Business Fire Safe?

No one ever wants to imagine the real possibility of a fire in their home or small business. Sadly these fires happen every day all over the country. The best anyone can do is to practice prevention and preparedness for when a fire occurs. As a company that offers restoration services in central, our team at SERVPRO Of Bloomington/Pontiac has seen the tragic results of fires for decades.

Are Your Smoke Alarms Working? Test Regularly

The U.S. Fire Administration suggests having smoke alarms in bedrooms, outside sleeping areas, near any source of heat, and on every floor of your home or business. Test your alarms at least once a month, change batteries once a year, and keep up to date on local regulations. Contacting your local fire department will help keep up to date as well.

Is Your Electrical System Code Compliant?

Even if you don’t know much about the electrical codes in your area, you can probably recognize if something is wrong with the wiring in your home or business. When in doubt, call an electrician to inspect any problem areas. Insurance companies may require inspections of businesses on electrical systems depending on the type of business as well. As well, keep up with local regulations in order to avoid future problems. 

Is Your Homeowner’s Insurance, Renter’s Insurance, or Small Business Insurance Up to Date?

The repair and restoration process after a fire is much more straightforward if you have insurance and are familiar with your policy. SERVPRO Of Bloomington/Pontiac works directly with your insurance company to get your property repaired and back to pre-disaster order. Know your policy prior to anything occurring and that will help the process go a lot quicker.

If you have experienced a significant fire in your home or business, you will have to repair the fire damage and most likely smoke and water damage. SERVPRO of Bloomington/Pontiac has years of experience repairing homes. Our team of experts can handle smoke damage restoration  and storm damage restoration in Central Illinois.
