SERVPRO's Dehumidifiers Stand Ready to Treat a Water Loss in Calhoun

Water Loss Is Mitigated with Swift SERVPRO Service in Calhoun Retail Centers

If pipes break inside your Calhoun retail building complex, you might start your day with calls from tenants saying their business locations are flooding. Water pouring into a structure overnight can create excessive damage. We at SERVPRO know that keeping your tenants happy helps your company stay operating. We work closely with you and all of the occupants of your complex and formulate a work plan that impedes business at your tenants' stores as little as possible.

As soon as we arrive at your shopping center, we begin by making sure everything at the affected site is safe for our workers, your tenants, and their employees. The next step to mitigating your Calhoun rental property's commercial water damage is to extract water from any wet materials including carpet and upholstery. During the extraction phase, our SERVPRO technicians use specialized extractors that have a stronger pull than your typical vacuum. We block off one small section at a time and try our best not to block foot traffic inside your shopping complex.
 
After any excessive moisture present in carpet or upholstered furniture gets sucked up, we begin the rapid structural drying stage. When drying out structural components, time is critical, and moisture levels should be dropped as quick as humanly possible. To speed up nature's natural evaporation process within a 48 hour period so that mold cannot form, we use industrially advanced equipment and techniques. Our SERVPRO experts utilize scientific principles to create an environment that allows for speedy moisture removal.
 
Drying time is reduced by using dehumidification and air moving systems. When positioning air movers, we place them so that they create airflow across all wet surfaces. We then balance the number of air movers with dehumidifiers to keep humidity low and conditions ideal for accelerated drying.
 
If there are too few air movers compared to dehumidifiers, then the drying process will not go as quickly as it could. If there are too many air movers in relation to dehumidifiers, then secondary problems can occur when the fans push the wet air to unaffected areas in the building. If you ever hear about a pipe break inside your retail complex, call SERVPRO of Monroe / West Monroe at (318) 345-5121 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
