Water Restoration Technicians Can Help your Business

Flooding can affect commercial buildings as badly as residential properties. As a property manager, it is vital to be proactive when dealing with flooding to help reduce losses. SERVPRO is a twenty-four-hour emergency restoration service for local businesses. 

The costs of flood damage in Durham businesses can spiral out of control without the right restoration company. Our SERVPRO production crew is certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certifications (IICRC). We have extensive training in specific flood-related areas such as applied structural drying (ASD), water restoration (WRT), and general construction (OSHA). Using our expertise, we can help your business recover from:

• Flood damage
• Storm damage
• Ceiling leaks from storms

Large quantities of water can exert significant pressure on the structure of a business. Over time this constant downward pressure can cause ceilings to sag and collapse and warp or bend joists at the base of walls. The removal of standing water is vital to protect your business property. We achieve this by using electric submersible pumps transporting water from the property to a nearby sewer point. Electric pumps can remove hundreds of gallons of water each hour and significantly mitigate potential losses. If floodwaters in the premises contain debris- as is common in flash flooding, for example- we can use pumps capable of passing solid waste. 

• Floods commonly affect cavities behind walls requiring specific drying equipment like inject-dry systems and removing parts of the structure.
• Porous materials in the building assembly can break apart after consistent water exposure and require replacement. 
• SERVPRO technicians can remove and replace damaged structural materials and perform reconstruction on areas of the premises.
