Businesses

The right insurance: Most policies exclude flood damage. If you aren’t sure what your policy covers, speak to your agent and clarify what is and is not covered. Consider supplemental flood insurance to protect you and your business.

Documents and critical information: All critical business documents should be backed up and kept in other secured locations. Flood waters can wipe out computers causing data and documents to be lost forever.   

Restoration Company: After a catastrophic event, in order to minimize damage the recovery process should begin as soon as possible. Contaminated waters can grow bacteria and mold not to mention the damage the water can do to a building’s structure. Establishing a partnership with SERVPRO of The Andovers and having an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) completed on your business can help minimize interruption.
