Vandalism That Turns Into Fire Damage

9/21/2021 (Permalink)

As a commercial property owner you probably do everything you can to keep a fire from happening, but unfortunately things happen that are out of the hands of property owners, like vandalism. That is why you should purchase fire insurance for the premises and make sure that your policy covers vandalism. 

Our office receives several calls a year from property owners who have fire damage from someone breaking in and vandalizing their property. We recently provided services for a church where someone broke in and started a fire in the pastors office. This caused severe damage to the area the fire started and smoke damage through out the church. The water and foams that were used to suppress this fire caused damage to the building as well.

Having insurance on your commercial building can help pay for the cost of repairs caused by the fire and the fire suppression materials. Without proper insurance coverage, you might have to pay for the cost of the damage on your own. This could be devastating to your business. 

It is relatively easy to get insurance on your commercial property. Most insurance agents can offer commercial property policies and your local agent will be able to help you get the best policy for your commercial property. Keep in mind, that there are typically different policies to choose from, it is always a good idea to speak to someone you trust who can help you make the right decision for you and your property.  

If your commercial property has unfortunately been affected from fire damage we can provide a free inspection and help get your commercial property up and running for business. Give us a call at 501-328-3301 and we can help you through the process.
