A code or by-law upgrade is an upgrade that is made when your commercial property’s pre-loss condition no longer meets legal building codes. Your insurance company may recognize code upgrades in the estimation process. Any questions regarding code upgrades should be directed to your Insurance Adjuster.
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.
Occupant and worker safety is ServiceMaster Restore’s top priority. During the initial inspection, safety hazards are identified and addressed, including debris removal, air quality, electrical issues, slip and trip hazards, etc. Burnt electrical appliances are separated out for disposal, and questionable electrical appliances are unplugged and tagged for evaluation of safe operation. Electrical power may have to be turned off until evaluation by a licensed electrician is completed.
