Working In Rented Commercial Structures

5/9/2022 (Permalink)

Commercial losses affect both owner and tenant.

SERVPRO works in many commercial structures throughout the country. One of the things we frequently encounter is working within a commercial building that has active tenants or businesses renting the spaces within them. We have worked for many property managers to help return their spaces to preloss condition, and help resolve any concerns that the tenant has about the loss.

Many tenants or businesses that are leasing their commercial space instead of buying, have concerns with business interruption, inconvenience to their clients and customers, noise from the SERVPRO machines may present an inconvenience to any persons that are within the affected area.

Obviously some losses cannot allow the businesses or renters to remain in the area while SERVPRO performs the disaster clean-up. In cases such as this, we understand that the top priority of the commercial building owner or property manager will be getting the businesses or tenants back into the area so they can return to paying the lease for that rented space.

Many times commercial insurance may cover costs of loss of use of space, but many times it is not cost affective to file a claim if it is a smaller loss. Many water losses are small in nature, but it takes time and machines to dry the materials correctly and efficiently.

Fire damage often can affect an entire unit after only a few minutes of smoke. Fire losses may also have water damage due to sprinklers being triggered during the loss.

Any kind of Biohazard loss includes the evacuation of people from the affected area. Biohazard includes everything from sewage to blood borne pathogens. These losses must always be handled with attention to detail and the diligent work of our SERVPRO technicians to remove any contaminants in the affected space.

SERVPRO takes our job very seriously when called out to a commercial building that has occupants or tenants. You can feel confident calling SERVPRO to handle all of your commercial clean-up and restoration needs.
