This blog post delves into why SERVPRO is the go-to choice for managing substantial property losses, highlighting the company's strengths in handling situations where expertise, speed, and precision are paramount.

What is considered a large loss in insurance?

In insurance terms, large loss typically involves significant property damage, often resulting from natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, earthquakes), fires, major structural failures, or extensive water damage. Such events can severely impact the structural integrity and value of the property, necessitating specialized restoration services. Understanding the magnitude of these losses is crucial for both property owners and insurance companies to ensure appropriate measures are taken for recovery and compensation.

How does SERVPRO respond to a large loss?

SERVPRO's large loss response is characterized by immediacy, comprehensive planning, and execution. Upon notification, a specialized team is dispatched to the site for a thorough assessment. Utilizing advanced tools like infrared cameras and moisture detection devices, the team quickly gauges the extent of damage. 

This initial assessment forms the basis of a strategic recovery plan, which includes damage mitigation, water extraction, dehumidification, and restoration. SERVPRO professionals communicate closely with insurance representatives to ensure a seamless and transparent claims process.

Case study: Rapid response in Athens, Georgia

When a severe storm hit a commercial property in Athens, Georgia, causing extensive damage, the SERVPRO team was on-site within the hour. The team's first step was securing the building against further damage, using tarps and boarding broken windows. Next, we systematically removed water, addressed mold concerns, and began the restoration work. Advanced drying techniques and air purifying equipment were employed to ensure a thorough recovery. This proactive approach by SERVPRO minimized the damage and expedited the reopening of the business.

Tips to prevent a large loss
