Commercial
Flood Damage
If you have been affected by flood damage and need the help of a builder, plumber or roofer, we could help. Providing we can instruct and oversee vetted contractors to complete the reinstatement works, there will be no charge to you, the policyholder, for the service provided however, any excess stated within the policy will still apply.
We can even help with your business interruption and loss of earnings claims and help deal with the rehousing of any tenants and loss of rent too!
The facts:
We know that when your business is flooded it can be devastating for you, your family, any tenants and anyone you may employ – the sight of soiled furnishings, stock or your latest list of sales invoices floating can be heart breaking not to mention economically crippling and the mess from sewage and debris unbearable.
We want to help rebuild your property, managing the claims process directly with your insurer and restoring it to its pre-loss condition as swiftly as possible.
What you need to know regarding your Commercial Property Flood Damage claim:
Burst pipes, blocked drains or adverse weather conditions can all be the cause of flooding. To decide whether a policy holder is covered by their insurance policy the first thing the insurance company need to know is what insurable event caused the damage. At your instruction, we can manage this process and can also help you find alternative accommodation for any tenants if necessary.
Flood overflow water is often infected and could infect your business premises with the mould and harmful bacteria.
To avoid lasting property damage and the health side effects of mould, you must dry and wash the affected area as soon as feasibly possible. Our professional, local project manager and vetted contractors specialise in working with flood claims of all types.
One of our first tasks is likely to be to remove any flood water and then dry the property out fully with our industrial dehumidifying and drying equipment. Then a complete anti-fungal purification stage helps to tackle harmful mould and bacteria prior to completing the drying process and beginning any necessary repairs.
You will have many other issues to deal with so, why not instruct us to manage your claim, allowing you time to deal with any other matters.
There are numerous reasons why fires start and one of the first things the insurer needs to know is the cause – this will determine whether the claim is valid. Whilst forensics do their duty you can be left anxious and worried. We could oversee this process, keeping you informed all the way and, if necessary, can even help you find alternative accommodation for any tenants throughout the reinstatement.
