Businesses Rely on SERVPRO for Water Remediation

Water damage to your diner is a nightmare. SERVPRO understands how stressful it is. All it takes is a leaking appliance or a damaged pipe for water to get in and cause problems in your diner. You might have to close up while you fix the problem. However, who has time for that? You need your eatery reopened as soon as possible so you can get customers back in the door and keep taking money at the cash registers. 

SERVPRO is on hand to help with water damage to your Durham diner. We have experience dealing with water damages of all sizes, which means we have the skill and equipment necessary to get your establishment back up and running in no time. “Like it never even happened.” We train all our technicians to Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards and our teams know the exact steps to take in any water damage situation. 

Water Removal

The first thing is to remove water from your diner. We have free-standing, submersible, and truck-mounted pumps on hand, and we use them in conjunction with extraction tools and wands to pump the water out of your premises. 

Equipment for Water Damage Restoration

Next, we assess the situation. We use a combination of moisture meters, penetrating moisture probes, and thermal hygrometers to measure humidity and search for hidden damp patches, such as under the carpet or behind a kitchen cabinet. SERVPRO knows that a visual assessment is never enough, which is why we use a range of testing equipment. 

Drying Water Damage

Once we know what we are dealing with, we set to work drying out your business. The drying process might include using extraction wands to remove water from carpets or upholstered furniture or covering zippers on your favorite booth cushions with wax paper to prevent rust bleeding across the fabric. We spot-treat stubborn water stains on upholstery and carefully remove baseboards if necessary to dry out cabinets. 

We use a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out every corner of your diner, including the pantry, kitchen, between shelves, around furniture, and anywhere else that moisture lingers. We realize that preserving inventory in a food business is just as important as saving the structure and fixtures.

We aim to get you back in business as soon as possible. Call SERVPRO of North Durham at (919) 467-0880 for help dealing with water on your premises in Durham and surrounding areas.
