Thomson Commercial Water Damage has Silver Lining

Commercial water damage from a leak that went to a gush overnight can dump a large amount of water in a Thomson area office in a short time. The danger of slip and fall accidents, shock, and other elements means the business should not reopen until cleanup and restoration services are complete.

When a local Thomson temporary staffing office had commercial water damage, a decision the office manager made to switch from document storage for clients and workers in cardboard bank boxes to plastic containers made the cleanup go even faster.

Scoping to Determine Loss Area

Water has the potential to migrate rapidly and seep into the subfloor and behind baseboards in short order. The techs use their advanced detection equipment to locate the exact span of the water loss within the office, so when the extraction phase starts, nothing gets left behind.

Water Extraction and Prepping for Drying

The removal of the water from the floors assists in lessening the drying time, that is why SERVPRO techs often spend extra effort on this step. The techs took the industrial carpets with rubber backing to another area for cleaning and drying along with the documents stored in the containers. The desks and chairs got placed on blocks to dry in place, so after drying, there would be no delay in reopening due to moving furniture back in.

Advanced Drying Equipment Makes the Difference

Because of the time spent moving as much embedded moisture as possible, the drying and final wipedown go rapidly. SERVPRO techs utilize centrifugal air movers in tandem with dehumidifiers to completely dry the loss area and monitor the progress carefully to ensure drying goals get attained within the timeline scheduled.

Everything In Its Place

The organized move out process that the techs perform assists in setting up the office exactly how it was before the water loss event. This service element eliminates the potential for confusion and inability to find items when the office reopens for business as usual.

SERVPRO of Augusta South / Burke & Wilkes Counties at (706) 843-1990 restores properties with commercial water damage to their preloss condition rapidly with their experience and state-of-the-art equipment to make it "Like it never even happened."
