Preparedness

Safeguard occupants and buildings against hazards

Contact Us

When a new building becomes operational, continuous preventive and predictive maintenance and emergency preparedness commence to safeguard the occupants, building, and site against various hazards. This includes preparedness for the Technological Hazard of "Internal Flood." Treating new and older buildings alike regarding potential severity and probability is vital.

Facilities that remain idle during off-business hours and weekends should consider installing leak and temperature sensors in critical areas to facilitate a prompt response. This proactive measure can significantly prevent extensive water damage.

Preparedness Steps

  • Initial Assessment

    Review your facility to identify water damage risks and develop a proactive mitigation plan.

  • Building Envelope Assessment

    Includes the physical separator between a building's conditioned and unconditioned environment.

  • Focus on Critical Equipment Areas

    More than ever, we need to be aware of our exposure to natural hazards and take action to mitigate the risks.

  • Annual Preventive Maintenance for Internal Piping and Valves

    Regular check-ups and maintenance of fire protection systems and other mechanical, plumbing, and process piping networks.​

  • Water and Liquid Spill Response Cart

    Includes the tools and materials to handle minor spill incidents.​

  • Staff & Contractor Training

    Training staff and contractors to respond to water damage can significantly reduce response times and potential damage.

  • Water Mitigation Vendor Contracts

    Ensures swift professional help during a major water leak, reducing recovery and restoration time.
