How First Onsite Is Uniquely Equipped to Handle Large, Complex Commercial Losses

Not every disaster is the same. The process of restoring a property after the unthinkable occurs can look very different depending on the scale of the loss.

Par exemple, un incendie dans une cuisine commerciale nécessitera un processus de restauration totalement différent de celui d'un refoulement d'égout dans une maison privée. La restauration d'un complexe d'appartements présentant un problème de moisissures n'est pas la même chose que la sécurisation d'un entrepôt commercial après un tremblement de terre.

First Onsite is an industry leader in responding to large, complex commercial losses. We are here to be your ally and your support system in the stressful aftermath of a complex loss. But how are we able to support business owners and commercial property managers like you in such a stressful time?

We know the ins and outs of large and complex commercial loss.

Even though every disaster can feel like a huge burden to overcome, only some fit into the category of “large and complex.”

These terms are specific to the insurance industry. A large loss claim is typically understood to be any insurance claim that is complicated in nature and reflective of a significant loss in value, usually at minimum of $50,000.

These events often require multiple professional consultants to provide assessments of the damage and estimates of the work that needs to be done. Engineers, electricians, plumbers, and building inspectors are just some of the people who get involved with large, complex losses, as well as claims management professionals from the insurance company.

Bringing in these consultants can be a complex process of its own, so it’s important to find a restoration partner with the right contacts. First Onsite finds these professionals for you. When we don’t have someone on staff who can quickly assess a problem, we know exactly who to call so that you are not left searching for the right person.

Another defining characteristic of complex losses is that the damage from the initial incident impacts your profitability in other ways. For example, a flood in your warehouse may mean that you have to restore the building itself and destroy or restore damaged inventory. But what about the losses you will see in cancelled orders, shipping delays, and more? These are the complex losses that some business owners will inevitably face after a disaster.

We respond quickly to limit your losses.

A fast response is one of the most important things that needs to happen when disaster strikes. Mitigating the damage quickly means that you won’t continue to hemorrhage money by letting things get worse and worse.

How can waiting make things worse?

Malheureusement, les possibilités sont quasiment infinies. Lorsque les pompiers éteignent un incendie, l'eau qu'ils utilisent peut provoquer des dégâts d'eau si elle n'est pas traitée rapidement. Si un bâtiment est laissé non sécurisé après un dommage structurel, il peut devenir une cible de vandalisme et de vol. Les stocks et les équipements qui ont été laissés dans un environnement humide, au lieu d'être rapidement enlevés, peuvent moisir et s'abîmer davantage.

Clearly, time is of the essence. Our goal is to respond as fast as possible when you call us. That’s why we invite area businesses to connect with us now, before a disaster even occurs.
