What Supporting Local Means to Us at Toledo East

7/31/2022 (Permalink)

Recently, there has been a large emphasis on the necessity of supporting local businesses. Local businesses help to make a community unique and rich with its own culture. That’s why SERVPRO of Toledo East is proud to be locally owned and operated. When you support SERVPRO of Toledo East, you’re supporting local businesses near you. Here are three big reasons why is serving local businesses is so important!

  1. Boosting the Local Economy 

Kind of a no brainer here, don’t you think? By supporting a local business, you allow that business to grow. When the business grows, they need to hire more employees to support that growth. It’s very likely they’ll hire people that live nearby, which keeps the money within the community.  

  1. Building Community Connections

This goes hand-in-hand with boosting the local economy. Local businesses that garner consistent support become staples within the community. Those businesses become  places where people can meet up, make new friends, or reunite with old ones. The connections and culture of the community are formed in these places.  

  1. Environmental Preservation

You probably know preserving the environment is important, but did you know supporting local businesses does just that? Local businesses tend to also buy from local merchants, instead of from huge corporations elsewhere, and this decreases carbon emissions.  

So, when you have any kind of water damage, fire damage, flooding, or need clean up, you can support your community by choosing SERVPRO of Toledo East!

Why is Professional Commercial Restoration Cleaning So Important?

Professional commercial restoration cleaning is among the most vital services available to owners of commercial property. Most commercial properties get a lot of wear and tear over the years, especially multifamily housing units and office complexes. Why is professional commercial restoration cleaning so important? You’re about to find out!

Why You will Need a Professional Commercial Restoration Cleaning Service

There’s a lot that can go wrong with a commercial structure, especially if it’s an older one. Commercial buildings can be damaged by mold, water, fire, or a sewage backup. You hear about that kind of stuff happening all the time, but most people never think that it could actually happen to their own properties. Unfortunately, it can, and as time goes on, the chances of experiencing at least one of the preceding types of damage rises steeply.

Fire is spontaneous, you never know when one may happen, especially since it might not even start in your building at all. An example, you do everything right, you bought and installed smoke detectors, check them regularly, and replace the batteries. What happens if the owner of the building next to you didn’t do any of that stuff? Then they have an electrical fire. The building will burn, and it’ll probably set your building on fire too because they’re so close together.

Now consider this, after hiring a professional plumber to inspect and maintain the pipes in your building for several years, there’s a flood. After a flood, providing that your structure is still standing, there will be a substantial amount of water damage, and that damage will have to be fixed by a professional commercial restoration service like SERVPRO of Toledo East. When you have damage from mold, fire, or water, that damage must be repaired professionally, there’s just no other substitute.

The Best Way to Reduce Business Interruption Following a Disaster in Toledo is to Plan For it NOW.

As many as 50% of businesses may never recover following a disaster, according to the latest industry research. Of the businesses that survive, the overwhelming majority of them had a preparedness plan in place. Pre-planning can serve as an insurance policy aimed at peace of mind.

By developing a SERVPRO Emergency Ready Profile, ERP, for your business, you minimize business interruption by having an immediate plan of action. Knowing what to do and what to expect in advance is the key to timely mitigation and can help minimize how water and fire damage can affect your business.

Preparation is a key component for making it through any size disaster, whether it’s a small water leak, a large fire, or an area flood. The best time for planning for such events is not when the event happens, but well before it happens. No one ever plans on a disaster, but you can plan for it.
