Call SERVPRO of Prattville today to discuss how we can assist your company in preparing for any unexpected event, not just fire damage!

Just this week, we received a notification from our local fire department alerting us that a nearby commercial building had caught fire. Our team immediately jumped into action! SERVPRO crews loaded their vans with equipment, and our teams dispatched. Even the owners arrived onsite to assist the team. Our emergency response team was ready and en route within seconds of notification. 

It is called unexpected for a reason- no one can predict when emergencies will occur. Therefore, it is best to stay prepared. For this reason, the number one goal for SERVPRO is to be ready?“When Disaster Strikes”.?When the commercial building caught fire, everyone responded quickly to prevent further damage and ensure everyone's safety. The employees in the building knew and executed their emergency plan, first responders communicated swiftly to assess what was needed, and SERVPRO employees rushed to the scene to assist. All parties must be ready to act with a split-second notice for emergency events to run smoothly.? 

Luckily this building only suffered external fire damage. Rolling fire doors prevented the fire from spreading. There was, however, water damage to the inside of the building. Of course, the fire department used water to extinguish the fire and, some of it did seep into the structure. Our teams worked overnight and into the early morning to remove all standing water. We used air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the floors and walls. We then disinfected anything the water touched to prevent microbial growth. We performed each step meticulously to ensure the building was restored to its original condition. Training is what sets SERVPRO apart from other companies. It is part of how we make it "Like it never even happened."
