We restore commercial storm damage in Okaloosa County.

Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley is a trusted leader in commercial storm damage restoration services. Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety to prepare for inclement weather by servicing your generator:

The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes (when professional assistance may be unavailable, power lines are down, and access roads are blocked). Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage. 

Permanent

• Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.  
• Run the unit weekly on its maintenance plan to ensure it is properly functioning in case of an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.  
• Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function properly.  

Portable 

• Store in a dry location
• Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit
