Commercial Large Loss

9/1/2023 (Permalink)

In the Fire and Water Restoration Industry, there are relatively small jobs that can occur in a home or business that may be easy and quick to remedy.  However, there is a common term for jobs that are much bigger, these jobs are called “Large Loss” projects.  The word loss refers back to an insurance term for property-loss or claim.

Some SERVPRO Franchises have certifications to provide emergency services specifically for restoring Large Lose projects.  These Franchises are called Large Loss Response Teams (LLRT).  For any LLRT Franchise in a metropolitan area, being prepared for a natural or man-made disaster is a continuous process.

SERVPRO of Glendora/San Dimas is a Certified Large Loss Response Team Franchise and is located on the Eastern perimeter of the Los Angeles Basin where approximately 10 Million residence live and work.  The number of commercial “large loss” events in a city this large occurs on a daily basis.    Also, the technical complexity of a large loss event can be extreme as the downtown districts of many communities within the LA Basin have high rise structures, reaching dozens or more floors above ground and frequently multiple stories below ground level.   The required technical capability can frequently be a critical resource and one method that SERVPRO has to quickly adapt to extraordinary cases is to have a diverse staff of subject matter experts available at any time, day or night, who can be on their way to a disaster site within hours.

Also, as a Large Loss Response Team Member, SERVPRO of Glendora/San Dimas is ready to address potentially millions of square feet of commercial and residential properties in a disaster situation.     The very high density of property in Los Angeles creates the need to have a large inventory of reserve equipment and people to handle losses on a massive scale.  The method to handle the equipment and skilled labor requirements at this scale is to draw on stores of equipment located in strategic locations around the metropolitan area and to partner with other SERVPRO Franchises to deploy the right level of skilled Technicians and Management support.  This is our way of assuring consistent high quality service, expertise, and processes are available when major disasters strike.

SERVPRO of Glendora/San Dimas (LLRT) is a restoration partner you can depend on when a commercial loss occurs to a single property or on a city wide scale.
