Virginia Beach commercial buildings

SERVPRO of Virginia Beach specializes in both residential and commercial losses. Similar to residential losses, commercial losses have a three-tier damage level that we access.

Level 1 is a small commercial loss involving 15,000 square feet or less of affected floor space. Examples of a small commercial loss may include a stand-alone store front, a small church, or a daycare facility.   A Level 1 loss can also be a small portion of a much larger structure.

Level 2 is a mediumcommercial loss involving 15,000 to 60,000 square feet of affected floor space. They are typically multi-level or greatly divided spaces.  Examples of a level 2 loss may include a small multi-family property, a midsize church, or a school. A Level 2 loss can also be just a portion of a much larger structure 

Level 3 is a largecommercial loss typically involving more than 60,000 square feet of affected floor space. The building or buildings involved will likely be large multi-level structures. Examples of a level 3 loss can include a large church, hospital, school, or university; a large multi-family property; or a large strip-style shopping center or shopping mall. This is the level at which it would be appropriate to refer to the project as a “large loss.”
