Commercial Water Loss
12/6/2021 (Permalink)
When water damage strikes commercial properties such as hotels, hospitals, schools, churches, medical facilities and more, business owners need to act quickly to prevent more damage and restore their property back to its normal condition. We understand the stress involved when facing emergency situations and the time-sensitive need for assistance can be overwhelming.
Why is immediate water remediation so important? Even small amounts of water left unaddressed can cause your property long term issues, such as mold, unpleasant odor, allergens, and bacteria. We understand how difficult it is to face temporary closure for cleanup and restoration. SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes offers 24-hour emergency services, so we can get to work quickly and get your business up and running.
Drying a large commercial space requires special equipment. We will quickly dry your property using state-of-the-art water removal equipment and advanced drying techniques. Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same.
Water Damage Restoration Process
Step 1 - Emergency Contact
The restoration process begins when you call SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes. We will guide you through the crisis and may ask you several questions to help us better understand the equipment and resources.
Step 2 - Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
We determine the scope of your water damage at this stage. We inspect and test to determine the extent of the damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration.
Step 3 - Water Removal / Water Extraction
The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons from your property, which helps prevent secondary water damage and mold growth.
Step 4 - Drying and Dehumidification
We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water that is harder to access. Our professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.
Step 5 - Cleaning and Sanitizing
We clean all of the restorable items and structures damaged by the water. We are adept at cleaning contents using a number of techniques. Our professionals are trained to provide sanitizing treatments and to remove odors and deodorize your property.
Step 6 - Restoration
Restoration is the process of restoring your home or business to its pre-water damage condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet, or may entail major repairs, such as the reconstruction of various area or rooms in a home or business.
Our number one goal is returning damaged areas and items to preloss condition, doing all we can make it "Like it never even happened." When water damage strikes, we can respond quickly to your water damage emergency.
