Commercial After Hours Water Loss

10/9/2023 (Permalink)

Water damage is not a pleasant event for any commercial or residential property owner in
Sacramento. When a water supply line breaks in a commercial space, it can cause significant flood damage. If the loss occurs after hours, the quantity of water flowing into a facility can be significant and incredibly destructive. As soon as the staff first notices the flooding, the best thing to do in this situation is to take fast action from water removal professionals. It is crucial to limit the damage done as soon as possible.

 Recently, in the early morning, a commercial buildings; fire sprinkler supply line burst. Staff members arrived for work and called SERVPRO of North Sacramento. Expert at managing large flood water removal scenarios, SERVPRO crews arrive in vehicles stocked with pumps and truck-mounted high-efficiency extractors. If electricity at the site is temporarily unavailable, SERVPRO vehicles have onboard generators to power the pumps and extractors. As soon as a preliminary assessment is completed and the water is shut off, SERVPRO crews jump on the tasks at hand confident in our ability to begin and complete needed water evacuation. After the standing water is removed, SERVPRO crew members use information from a range of devices to detect and measure moisture levels to structure drying goals and configurations.
SERVPRO crews use infrared scanners to help detect water trapped in recesses and cavities behind walls, under floors and ceilings, and any other place moisture collects in a commercial physical plant. The risk of mold growth spirals if all water is not extracted or otherwise released. The SERVPRO team uses a host of strategies to rid spaces of all liquid water including flood cuts, drilled holes, and top-down wad extraction. Afterwards, SERVPRO crew members employ air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture content of porous building materials by turning water into a vapor to be captured and removed via condensation or absorption. Any water that remains unabated for 24 to 48 hours will dramatically increase chances that mold spores generate into colonies and multiply. During the initial water flooding, sewage backup or overland flooding may also occur creating a window of opportunity for other microorganisms to grow and spread. Therefore, to inhibit microbial infestation, SERVPRO concludes flood damage remediation with a thorough cleaning and treatment with EPA registered disinfectants. SERVPRO of North Sacramento works fast and hard to remediate commercial water damage in the communities we serve. Contact SERVPRO 24/7 at (916) 587-3438 to schedule an evaluation.
