When water damage occurs on your commercial property, the key is quick action to prevent further deterioration. Contact SERVPRO immediately.

SERVPRO Bases Decisions on the Level and Location of Damage Within a Property

Water damage at your workplace can cause significant inconveniences or leave you with massive repair bills. An even bigger headache is not knowing how to plan the response. Failure to provide enough resources or using too many resources can create additional problems that hamper your water damage repair efforts. 

Leaving water damage repair at your Orwigsburg premises to a professional team eliminates most of the uncertainty. Since SERVPRO can evaluate factors including moisture spread patterns and distinguish the implications of materials affected during the incident, it is possible to manage the process for optimal results.

A successful repair process takes:

• Removal of all standing water and drying the wet materials
• Replacements of heavily deteriorated materials
• Addressing any microbial growth processes 

The water removal step plays a crucial role in determining the level of repairs needed in your property. Completing extraction in good time is one way to limit damages since materials keep deteriorating the longer they remain submerged. However, the right approach is still necessary even when trying to expedite water extraction. For instance, if you have carpeted areas such as lobbies or offices, aggressive extraction can delaminate carpets. SERVPRO provides specialized extraction equipment such as weighted water claws or ride-on rovers that squeeze the water out aiding faster, yet safer extraction.

Many structural materials do not survive water exposure because of physical or other changes. For instance, swelling, warping, crumbling, or loss of insulating properties are common outcomes. SERVPRO structural drying IICRC-certified technicians inspect the property to determine what needs replacement. 

Damage from water exposure in structure can manifest as:

• Flaking of painted surfaces
• Matting, rusting, and loss R-value for insulation
• Rusting of metal items

Apart from removing the intrusion water, our SERVPRO technicians help rehabilitate physically damaged areas. When restoring painted surfaces, we scrape the flaking, apply a filler and then sand the area before applying a fresh coat of paint. Other procedures are necessary to address rusting or microbial growth.
