Tennessee is no stranger to natural disasters. From tornadoes to flooding, the state has seen its share of damage. And while schools are typically the first to close during an emergency, they’re often the last to reopen.
That’s why it’s important for Tennessee’s educational institutions to have a plan in place for disaster cleanup services.
There are a number of companies that specialize in disaster cleanup, and they can be a valuable resource for schools. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a disaster cleanup company:
1. Make sure the company is licensed and insured.
2. Ask for references from other schools or businesses.
3. Get an estimate in writing before work begins.
4. Ask about the company’s experience with schools.
5. Make sure the company uses safe cleaning products.
6. Ask about the company’s disposal methods.
7. Get a timeline for the work.
8. Ask about the company’s payment terms.
9. Make sure the company is familiar with the applicable laws and regulations.
10. Get everything in writing.
Disaster cleanup is a big job, but it’s one that Tennessee’s educational institutions can’t afford to ignore. By being prepared and working with a reputable company, schools can minimize the disruption and get back to business as usual as quickly as possible.
