A Letter from the owner of Burlington Plumbing to Business Owners
Dear Friend,
As a commercial plumber who specializes in water damage prevention, water systems control, and emergency services, I want to tell you that – in 99% of the cases we see – the extensive water damage we witness is usually avoidable.
But most business owners, landlords, tenants – and insurance agents – overlook this critical aspect of risk avoidance! In far too many cases, the decision makers had been “considering” a review of their entire water system, but never got around to it.
I urge you to review your system today. (We will conduct a FREE review and make recommendations for you. Call now for an appointment- or to get your questions answered.)
Water damage can wreak havoc in your business. Does your insurance policy protect you? Yes, but only after the damage has been done.
I’m not certified to sell insurance, nor do we want to get into that business. My point is that you can have the best insurance protection against disasters and business interruption – but your insurance agent isn’t going to be there when a pipe bursts to shut off the water main! You need fast action.
Chances are that nobody will be there when the flooding begins, especially if a pipe bursts at night, on the weekend or holiday, right? And, the last thing you want to deal with is… losing business because your office is underwater!
Water-logged computers, dripping wet phone systems, and submerged carpetting really make it hard to be productive.
You can avoid these problems, or minimize your risk, by installing the proper emergency shut-off system… and the cost is reasonable. You may want to call your insurance agent right now to ask whether your policy factors in the emergency shut-off of your water main or fire sprinkler.
Besides, the law (NFP 13) requires an annual inspection of your fire sprinkler system – so why not conduct a comprehensive risk management review ?
Would you rather invest in prevention and limiting your business interruption, or would you prefer to spend it on clean-up and risk lost productivity?
My second reason for writing is I want to tell you how we can help you achieve peace of mind so you minimize your risk of ever having a flooded building.
Offer #1: Save 15% on Automatic Shut-off Valve Installations
Whether you need a panic button for people to easily access, a remote shut-off switch for a valve nobody can reach, or if you need new or additional shut-off valves installed our offer means you can save a bundle of money.
You should have your emergency shut-off valve wired to your alarm system so it can automatically shut down the water when you leave at night and turn itself on when you arrive. This way there are no chances of water damage while you are away.
Offer #2: FREE Backflow Prevention Systems Analysis
We want to earn the opportunity to serve your company, and we’re willing to conduct a thorough analysis and make specific recommendations for your system. The DEP regulations require that you stock on-site repair kits for each backflow preventer valve, and that all valves be repaired within two weeks, if they had failed your town’s testing of that device. We will quote you up-front, flat rate pricing if your device needs repair, and apply a 10% discount on all repair parts and testing.
Offer #3: Save on Fire Sprinkler Testing, Certification, and Upgrades.
For FREE we will conduct a complete and thorough inspection of your fire sprinkler system. We will conduct a system performance test, document the results and file the required paperwork with your fire department (and the building owner). Upon completion, we will quote you on the price to test your system and review any violations or safety issues that arise.
You will save 15% off the price of our regular testing rates through May 1st 2010. Why are we extending these money savings offers to you?
OFFER #4: Save on Water Usage and the spread of germs
Installing sensor type Toto faucets and flush valves helps save water and eliminates the spread of germs. See our newsletter about Going Green in the Commercial archives of our website.
Sincerely,
Joe Brancato
