SERVPRO of Brown County Offers Emergency Board Up and Tarp Services for Your Commercial Properties

2/19/2020 (Permalink)

As a business owner, you are aware of the various circumstances that could unexpectedly affect how your company goes about doing its day-to-day routine. In the winter months, two potential hazard factors could arise in the place of work: fires and storm damage.

A common workplace fire threat is the frequent use of space heaters being utilized by employees as the temperatures drop outdoors. Chances are those portable heated sources sit near a highly flammable item or, worse, accidentally left on after hours. 

The other threat to your work environment would be weather-related. Mother nature unleashing her fury with damaging winds or substantial amounts of snowfall could leave your commercial property with extensive damages to its buildings' structure and vulnerable to the outdoor elements.

If either of these unfortunate incidents was to occur, you want your commercial property to have someone that is both prompt and knowledgeable in emergency board up and tarping practices.

Our team at SERVPRO of Brown County is ready to step in to assist your business by offering our services. In most instances, within an hour of being contacted, we will be out to the area where the destruction struck your building. 

Why is it important to board up or tarp your business after a disaster?

• Protection from the Elements - During a human-made or natural disaster, your business can take quite a beating from high winds, torrential rain, and debris. Broken windows, damaged roofs, and walls can let in rain, snow, and wind to cause more damage to your interior and its contents. Water buildup, especially as the snow melts, could ruin flooring and carpet as well as destroy electronics. Mold starts growing within just a few days, creating even more damage.
• Protection from Wildlife - All it takes is a small broken window for unwanted guests to enter into your premises. Dogs, raccoons, rats, and other pests can wreak havoc inside a building. Not only will they track dirt everywhere, but they'll tear up furnishings, urinate and defecate all over the place.
• Protection from Vandals – As if you didn't need any more issues as a business owner, the fact of the matter is people will find the most suitable time to take advantage of your current situation. Someone could easily vandalize your establishment or to go as far as to steal whatever they can lay their hands on from electronics, money, and other essential items of great value. 

If you find yourself in need of emergency board-up services in the Green Bay or surrounding areas, our highly trained professionals at SERVPRO of Brown County will arrive quickly with all the necessary equipment to stabilize and protect your business structure. We also have experience with handling damages on larger scales of commercial properties.
