Emergency Services for Municipalities in Need of Durham Commercial Water Removal

Commercial Water Removal
Large community structures like schools, churches, and municipal buildings in Durham can be subject to emergency property damages the same as any private residences. Municipal buildings can be at a higher risk, given that the plumbing systems are typically more complicated, have higher usage, and may go more than 48 hours without use over weekends. Usually, water incidents go beyond the depth (no pun intended) of in-house janitorial teams and often need emergency intervention to limit the potential costs of replacement or restoration.

We operate a special commercial water removal team for Durham municipal buildings. At SERVPRO, our focus is on communication. We are getting as much information as possible from the first point of contact to passing on details to the building manager at the end of service. Our water restoration crew chief and a project manager, if needed, can keep you informed of possible outcomes and work done every step of the way. We can send a team of technicians to your site within one hour of notification of loss.

There is a substantial amount of work to do at a large loss site. SERVPRO technicians can conduct pre-testing of structure and contents to put together a game plan for restoration. However, our first concern is performing emergency services that could help to save the building. Emergency services may include things like bringing in generators or restoring electricity to the job site as well as removing large quantities of water from the structure.

There are two main pieces of water removal equipment. The first is sturdy, truck-mounted extraction units that can get rid of over 100 gallons of water before emptying. The other equipment is for standing water using gas pumps to remove it as quickly as possible from the structure and into an open sewer point. Many municipal buildings use acoustical ceilings and thin carpets. SERVPRO special services can help to restore these items without causing further damage or requiring extensive replacement.

When water incidents go beyond the scope of your janitorial team, Contact SERVPRO of North Durham at (919) 467-0880.
