When it comes to managing disasters and restoring commercial properties, you may find several options available to you. However, many provide only primary reconstruction and mitigation, which may need to be improved following a disaster. At ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM), we offer a complete and comprehensive solution to all your recovery needs, making us your full-service partner in a fast, safe, and effective recovery.
Opening the windows in your home to assist the drying process is not always recommended. Outside weather conditions may vary. Your ServiceMaster Restore technician will determine when and if opening windows to let in outside air is advisable.
Depending on the extent of the fire or smoke damage, this is ultimately your decision. Your insurance company may provide some guidance on this matter. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
