Pre-Loss Disaster Recovery Plan

Like it or not, floods, fires, sewage breaks and other disasters happen - usually when we least expect it. That's why every business should have a comprehensive, wide-ranging, Pre-Loss Disaster Recovery Plan.

The main goal of a Pre-Loss Plan is to minimize the impact the disaster has on your business. In order to achieve this goal, your local restoration company will meet with you to discuss critical areas of concern and devise a plan that focuses on the following objectives:

• Minimize the financial loss sustained as a result of the disaster
• Reduce the duration of downtime and get your business up and running at 100% functionality
• Expedite the restoration process by selecting service providers in advance
• Train staff on disaster procedures, duties and roles
• Assign a disaster "point person" to work directly with the restoration provider throughout the recovery process

Be selective when choosing a restoration provider; for true peace of mind, you'll need a company whose experts are trained, certified and experienced in Disaster Recovery Restoration Services. Any reputable restoration firm knows that Pre-Loss Plans are not one-size-fits-all. Rather, they should be tailor-made to meet the specific demands of your company, ensuring that your business is protected and attended to in case of disaster.

Concerned About Mold In Your Home?

Do your closets, basement or attic smell musty? Do you see black spots on the ceiling above your shower or behind your clothes dryer? If so, you have a mold problem.

Molds are microscopic organisms that exist everywhere, indoors and out. Mold becomes a problem when it finds damp spots to latch onto. If the moisture level in your home is not controlled, the humidity created by the damp areas will create an ideal place for mold to grow.

It's common knowledge that mold can affect your health. Mold spores are small enough to be breathed in, so any place with high mold levels is unsafe for you and your family. And while mold can be potentially lethal to those more susceptible (babies, the elderly, and those with asthma, allergies, immune suppressions or lung diseases) everyone should minimize their exposure to mold for their own safety. In fact, continued exposure to mold can cause you to develop an allergy to mold!

The effects of mold exposure are innumerable: congestion, cough, watery eyes, runny nose, skin irritations, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, sore throat, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, nose bleeds, respiratory scarring, liver damage, and even memory loss. While some of these symptoms will cease once you stop the exposure, some are irreversible.

So, what can you do to protect your family from the harmful effects of mold exposure?

First, don't be fooled: many DIY mold removal methods are ineffective and a waste of time. Air cleaners, for example, won't help. While they may be able to remove some mold spores from the air, they'll do nothing to get rid of the spores that have already landed. Another common misconception is that you can just paint or caulk over mold to cover it up. Not only is this not true, but it will also cause your paint to peel right off the wall.

If your home gets flooded, you have no more than one day to get everything completely dried before mold begins to grow. Once mold has had the time it needs to grow on floors, walls, and ceilings, it will be too late to simply "clean it off." You will be facing total replacement of everything from wallpaper to drywall, carpet padding to stud beams.

When it comes to mold, unless it is contained to a very small area, it is generally best not to try to tackle it yourself.

If you suspect you have a mold problem in your home, call Renewit. Our team of experts will:
* Remove physical mold
* Clean or dispose of any contaminated materials
* Vacuum and air filter airborne spores

Don't replace it... Renewit!

Flood Tips

The most important element of flood restoration is time. The longer water stays in your home, the more damage it causes. Attending to the problem early will prevent mold and mildew from spreading into your property and will save you big money in remediation and replacement fees down the line. So contact your insurance company immediately! They will send a loss adjuster to your property and decide what repairs and replacements are necessary and covered by your plan.

The following are a general list of dos and don'ts in case of a flood. Following these guidelines will make the restoration process faster, safer, and more effficient.

Do...

• Take pictures immediately! This will help the insurance company evaluate the extent of the water damage.
• Move photos and other keepsakes to a safe, dry location
• Remove any items that contain dye from your wet carpet or floor (including magazines, newspapers, and some clothing)
• Remove wet rugs, cushions and upholstery.
• Pick up loose items off the floor.

Don't...

• Vacuum anything wet
• Enter a room where the ceiling is sagging
• Enter a room with standing water
• Walk on wet surfaces
• Start cleaning before contacting your insurance company and taking pictures of the damage

Keep in mind, restoration is cheaper and timlier than replacement. So don't replace it... Renewit!
