It’s 2:00 o’clock in the morning when you are awoken from your peaceful slumber by a panicky unit owner. A pipe burst in the upstairs unit and now water is gushing into her condo down below. What do you do? Who do you call in that hour of the morning?
Disasters cannot always be prevented, and they most certainly are not planned, but you can put safety measures in place beforehand.
If you are insured through H&K Insurance, we partner with fantastic restoration companies that will visit your complex, assess the damages, and work with the carrier to pay out what is needed to restore your building – providing it’s a covered loss. Most restoration companies offer 24/7 disaster services, which means you’ll have a team to help you should you receive that 2:00 AM phone call!
We recommend that property managers keep a binder with 24-hour emergency contacts on hand. Also, be sure to share your disaster planning contacts with your condominium owners, particularly board members, so they know who to contact in the event of an emergency. When time is of the essence, it’s important everyone knows what to do before disaster strikes!
