If your business ever experiences water damage, there are a few techniques professionals such as SERVPRO uses to mitigate the problem with minimal interference to the business. Learn more about how SERVPRO offers water remediation services to keep your business open should you experience a water disaster.

How SERVPRO addresses water damage in commercial buildings

When your business experiences water damage from flooding caused by pipe bursts, monsoons, or other water source, the first and most important step is to secure the area, and then address the source of the water to stop further damage. The next step is to extract all the water from the structure as quickly as possible. SERVPRO's commercial water removal technicians then use equipment to dry the materials and contents inside the building. The final stage of the drying process is the cleaning and deodorization. After the structure gets secured and the source of the problem gets fixed, we begin the extraction process. We vacuum up as much water inside the building as possible while keeping your business open. If needed, we can extract water in small sections at a time so that we do not impede the business.

Our water removal equipment gets the job done
 

Depending on the water damage situation, various types of water removal equipment can be used to implement water remediation. In most cases, a truck-mounted extractor gets used, but in other situations, a portable one may be more efficient or less invasive during business hours if the business is still open and functioning. Depending on the surfaces affected, we use either lightweight extraction wands or heavy-duty extraction tools. If there are more than two inches of standing water present, a submersible pump gets used for pulling up the water. Upon final water removal, we then dry out the remainder of the moisture. We complete the drying process by creating the best environment to speed up the evaporation method.

What happens after water is removed
 

When technicians dry out a structure, different types of equipment are used depending on the situation. In most cases, air movers and dehumidifiers are implemented, using dry air from the dehumidifiers to circulate hot, dry air around the affected room. The drying process also sometimes gets completed a small section at a time so that only a portion of your business is blocked off or otherwise impacted. After moisture levels are reduced, the cleaning and deodorization stage takes place. We make sure that your business remains lean and odor-free, and moisture is at a level so that no mold grows as a result of the water damage.
