Why Emergency Ready Profiles are Helpful

In this photo, the water has been shut off and a garbage can has been placed to collect water that remains in the pipes as it drains out.

In our last blog post we talked about Emergency Ready Profiles.  The attached photo demonstrates a situation where an Emergency Ready Profile is useful. 

Yesterday we were called to a water loss at a Senior Living Community.  A water main burst at both ends of a long hallway spraying water all over the place.

In a situation like that, it's important to know exactly where the water shut off valves are and get them shut off as quickly as possible.  Once the water is off, the next step is to call the appropriate emergency contacts to get the pipe fixed and dry your structure.    

An Emergency Ready Profile gives you all of these things in a convenient app on your phone, so that no matter where you are, or what time of the day it is, you are ready to respond. 

In this situation, SERVPRO of Appleton was on the job quickly to begin drying the structure.  It was a big task with 55 rooms being effected including tenant units, a community room, offices and more.
