We can get you back to work the right way!

Fire loss incidents can happen without warning to any Pensacola business, but when it happens to one in the food and beverage industry like your restaurant, much more than the building is at stake. While your customers depend on you for quality dishes and a positive experience, an unspoken and primarily more important aspect also exists – these same customers depend on you to keep them safe inside your establishment. Even with ignitions that can get quickly contained, specific lingering effects pose threats to customers remaining on the premises. 

Despite all that you would think you know about overcoming disasters and cleaning up a Pensacola restaurant after fire damage, no two situations are ever the same. Our SERVPRO professionals helping to restore commercial properties throughout our region have determined that while all fire losses can share specific consequences, the spread and severity of these symptoms varies for each property. There are some initial steps you can take to help your business in this trying time as you wait for professional assistance to arrive: 

• Contact professional restoration services like our SERVPRO team right after you reach out to your insurance provider. Our team can compile the necessary documentation for a smoother and more easily obtained damage claim. 
• Air quality concerns can become severe threats to your staff and your customers. If effects have spread to the dining and communal areas, you might consider temporarily closing your doors. 
• While you can work to address messes that exist because of the recent fire, damages like soot or smoke residue can stain and smear without the precise approach needed by someone with experience and education in fire loss recovery. 

Many fire loss situations require property owners to seek out the experience and the advanced equipment available to restoration specialists like our SERVPRO of West Pensacola team. While there are multiple conditions to address at each of these emergencies, we can make these disasters “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call anytime that you need us at (850) 469-1160.
