Why Your Commercial Business Needs a Restoration Contractor on Speed Dial

Business interruptions by unanticipated events can destroy everything that you’ve worked so hard to build. This could be external events like major storms, wildfires, or floods. Or it could be internal events like burst pipes, industrial accidents, or building fires.

Whatever the cause, time is of the essence for getting your business back in operation. As long as your business isn’t operating, you are losing revenue, and you may still have significant expenses. You may have contractual obligations you are unable to fulfill, which could lead to expensive penalties. Meanwhile, your competitors are taking advantage of your absence from the market, and the longer it takes, the more likely it is that you will lose even loyal customers.

Making arrangements with a commercial restoration contractor before disaster strikes can help your business be ready for anything so you can remain competitive even in the worst of circumstances. Here’s why it’s a good idea for your business to get a restoration contractor on speed dial.

Your Business’ Needs Are Unique

Your business thrives because it brings something special to the market. If you want to restore the unique edge you had before the disaster, you need something more than generic commercial restoration services.

However, after a disaster, there may not be time or flexibility to customize restoration plans. Working with a commercial restoration company beforehand will let you get plans in place so your business will get the restoration treatment it deserves.

Some Situations Don’t Need to Be a Disaster

Many disastrous situations unfold rapidly and are outside of anyone’s control. Others, however, may occur over time, and with prompt attention, their impact can be limited. If you can get commercial restoration services on-site quickly enough, they may be able to contain the damage to reduce the overall cost.

For example, if there’s a burst pipe at your business, rapid intervention can stop the water, pump it out, and start drying operations quickly enough to avoid damage like saturated drywall.

Having Better Information Leads to Better Decisions

When you experience a business disruption, one of the first questions everyone will ask is: how long will you be down? Having a clear answer to that question will make it easier for you to deal with your employees, your customers, and other stakeholders.

When you establish a relationship with a commercial restoration contractor, you can ensure that you will get updated and complete information about the status of your business’ restoration process.

Businesses without a Disaster Plan Don’t Survive

It’s important for your business to set up a disaster plan now if you want it to survive the next disaster. According to FEMA data, 75% of businesses without a continuity plan will fail within three years of a natural disaster. You need to plan for disasters if you want to be among the businesses that survive the next one.
