Why Fast Remediation is Necessary for Commercial Water Damage in Durham Retail Stores

Water damage can ruin inventory and interrupt your business. SERVPRO has the experience to provide the least disruption while removing the water.

Why You Need Quick Commercial Water Removal in Your Durham Retail Store

Water can enter your retail store because of a leaky roof. Holes or tears in membranes after something falls on the roof can cause rainwater to enter a commercial building. The edges of the membrane of a roof may also become unsecured and let water into the building.  

When there’s commercial water damage in your Durham retail store, you need to take the necessary steps to lessen the effects of water. You should contact a professional restoration company such as SERVPRO to solve the issue. Our technicians have the training, equipment, and experience required to manage water loss. We respond quickly to reduce the destruction and manage the restoration project effectively.  

Water can ruin the products in stock, and you may have to discard them. It can also lead to the interruption of business operations and financial losses if you do not attend to it immediately. If the incident occurred during your store’s busiest season, then the loss of potential profits would be more significant. During such a crisis, the cash can flow out because of the costs related to repairs and the everyday expenses of your business like loan repayments, and utility bills. If you are forced to shut down your store for several days or weeks, your customers could look for the products they need elsewhere and find a retail store they like better than yours.  

Our SERVPRO technicians can inspect the affected areas and establish priorities, goals, and tasks. If there’s water on the floor, ceiling or walls, we can use equipment like wet/dry vacuums to extract it so that the areas can dry faster. Our services for handling water damage in retail stores also include drying, dehumidification, and odor removal. Our technicians perform building structural dry outs using a combination of high capacity air movers and dehumidifiers. We change the location of air movers during drying so that the surfaces can dry evenly and thoroughly. Our restoration specialists monitor and maintain proper humidity, temperature, and moisture levels during the entire process to ensure quick and complete drying.  

If you have water damage in your business premises, call SERVPRO of North Durham. You can reach us any time of the day or night at (919) 467-0880. We have the expertise to handle a water loss incident of any size.
