How Do I Restore My Commercial Kitchen After Fire Damage?

8/28/2023 (Permalink)

A commercial kitchen fire can cause a lot of damage to your business. Fire can break out unexpectedly in any kitchen setting, especially in a commercial kitchen. The National Fire Prevention Association reports fire departments will respond to nearly 3,500 commercial fires annually, according to a national study.

If you experience a fire in your Nashville commercial kitchen, you can count on the restoration professionals at SERVPRO to help you return to normal as quickly as possible!

What Steps Should I Take To Begin Fire Damage Restoration At My Commercial Location?

When beginning fire damage restoration, there are some essential factors to consider and some “must-dos,” too.

• The safety of your staff and clientele is your priority if your Nashville commercial kitchen experiences a fire. After calling the fire department, ensure that everyone is present, accounted for, and out of the building before you do anything else.
• Call your insurance company immediately post-disaster to report the incident and start your claim process.
• If you are leasing the space, let the owner or property manager know the severity of the damage and possible repair costs. 
• Wait for the fire department to give you the all-clear to enter the building before assessing the damage and removing necessary items.
• Call fire damage restoration professionals like SERVPRO of North Nashville to come and begin assessing the damage and planning your recovery process. 
• Document everything by taking photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.
