Grovetown Business Owners Need Professional Restoration from SERVPRO

What Are the Initial Actions Needed to Clear Out a Commercial Operation?

On arrival to any Grovetown business, SERVPRO begins with the following steps:

• Shut down the water if not yet accomplished.
• Quickly inspect the building to determine the most impacted areas.
• Remove standing water with large pumps and commercial-grade extraction wands.
• Open all windows and doors possible to increase natural air circulation and evaporation (weather permitting), then augment both using a series of air movers throughout the structure and dehumidifiers in areas with the high humidity levels.

How Quickly Can Restoration Teams Remove the Water?

The speed of commercial water removal in Grovetown businesses depends primarily on the size of the facility and how much water is trapped inside. For example, a light industry facility may have less than an inch over the floor, but the large size of the building requires additional time to make certain every square foot is taken care of professionally.

The extra steps needed for residential carpets, however, are not needed for most business operations. Even in office settings, commercial carpeting does not have a pad underneath that quickly absorbs water. That allows our restoration specialists to avoid spending the time needed for lifting the carpet, removing the pad, and then drying both the carpet and the floor underneath.

What If Some of the Water Came Out of a Backed-up Sewer Line?

If this happens, restoration specialists spray a powerful anti-bacterial cleaner over any standing water, pools, and affected surfaces. After removing the water, they spray the now exposed surfaces again before removing the non-salvageable contaminated carpeting.
