Tips for Flood Recovery in Your Watertown Hotel

Guests look to your quaint Watertown hotel as a welcomed respite from the road, or a place to stay throughout a prolonged look into all the area has to offer. As a business owner, you have likely already experienced the detrimental effects of flooding in the area over the past several years, and it continues to be a threat to your facility and guests that have already arrived. While you have an experienced custodial staff and maintenance department, flood recovery might best get left to qualified professionals that can arrive quickly to reduce your losses.

As it should, the safety and wellbeing of your guests take a priority when addressing flood damage in your Watertown hotel. With this in mind, there are specific steps that you can take until our SERVPRO professionals arrive to reduce the loss that your business could sustain and to help your guests stay safe and comfortable despite the challenges of partial flooding in other areas of your property. Here are some things to consider:

 -      You should relocate guests to a safe area of your hotel, and if done quickly enough, might allow them to be entirely unaffected by the spreading flood damage.

-      If possible, you can seal over breaches in the exterior of your hotel damaged in a storm. These can often be a source for flooding, and covering them with tarps or plywood can reduce or eliminate further water penetration.

-      While our SERVPRO team has a very accomplished and well-trained contents department, you can help reduce loss by moving at-risk items and furniture to higher elevations and areas you do not expect to suffer flooding.

-      You can utilize specific extraction tools like wet-vacs if you have them in your facility to help slow the spread of floodwater throughout the building while our professionals are in route.

Protecting your guests and your facility are top priorities when faced with flooding. Give our SERVPRO of Jefferson County team a call anytime at (315) 777-8377 to make these loss incidents “Like it never even happened.”
