Chatsworth, CA – WEBWIRE

Depending on the type of damage, age of the property and materials used for construction, they should consider possible exposure risks that could now be in the property or result from cleanup and repair activities.

Each year, billions of dollars are paid to settle insured property damage claims. While most people hope they never have to file a claim for damage to their home or business, statistics show that as recently as 2013, over 4% of insured homes had a claim and there were billions of dollars in commercial property losses. 
 
Some of the most common commercial insurance claims revolve around water damage, fire damage, and wind and storm damage. While damage from any one of these common causes is often quite evident, these events can also create potential indoor environmental concerns that many property owners may not readily recognize.  These could be due to the actual damage or result from cleanup and repair activities.
 
These may include:

  • Leaking Gas Lines
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Smoke and Soot Residues
  • Mold, Bacteria and Viruses
  • Chemical Contaminants
  • Asbestos
  • Lead Dusts


 
“For anyone faced with damage to their commercial property, they should promptly notify their insurance provider and assess the situation for any potential hazards,” said Franco Seif, President of Clark Seif Clark (CSC).  “Depending on the type of damage, age of the property and materials used for construction, they should consider possible exposure risks that could now be in the property or result from cleanup and repair activities.  At CSC, our building science and indoor environmental quality professionals provide comprehensive site investigations to identify possible exposure risks due to everything from mold and bacteria to lead-based paints, PCB contaminated caulks, asbestos and smoke residues.  These services not only help to protect future building occupants, but can also be instrumental for providing a clear scope of damages and repairs that might otherwise be overlooked.”
