You might be thinking, how would a single team be able to manage a commercial water damage loss that looks as though it would require an army to restore? Well, with our highly developed network of expert contractors and restoration providers, we are confident in handling any size loss.

With that being said, we contacted our partners, involved our SERVPRO Large Loss Team, and managed to complete the loss in less time than was quoted by any other provider.
Our Large Loss division has assisted with mitigation work in:

A giant stairwell in a highrise building. A great example of a well-executed emergency exit!
Disaster can happen at any time, and commercial buildings need to be prepared to face these kinds of situations. They need to have evacuation systems that will lead everyone to the nearest exit. And to do that, backup generators and emergency lights are necessary.
Whenever a disaster happens, especially during natural disasters, the power could go off, leaving everyone in the dark. That’s when back up generators come in and offer a solution.
Meanwhile, emergency lights run on batteries that can last up to 2 hours and are great to light up the path towards the emergency escape routes, backup generators are needed to power up fire alarms, more lights and other life safety equipment.
That’s why it is so important for commercial buildings to have both backup generators and emergency lights installed, and why it’s vital to check them regularly and make sure they’re working just fine. Don't know where to start? Call SERVPRO of Park la Brea to get started!
