Commercial Water Removal in Monroe 

With I-20 going right through town, Monroe is an excellent stop for travelers going West, East, or just out exploring our beautiful state and local area. Many like to get off the highway and enjoy a meal, snack, or linger over a cup of coffee for a bit. Small bistros and cafes can do excellent business, as long as their doors remain open. 

When a pipe breaks or a freezer fails in a Monroe business, commercial water removal needs to happen quickly. SERVPRO restoration specialists train on an extensive number of tools and devices to meet the multiple needs of a small business, such as repairing bathrooms, clearing customer areas, and returning kitchens to a safe condition for preparing food once more.

They start with two tasks, stopping the source of the water intrusion and removing standing water. Team members can quickly replace broken pipes, cracked connections, and even replace toilets that leak into the business. If there is a major system failure, the team leader recommends bringing in a licensed plumber. 

As repairs continue, other SERVPRO specialists bring in the devices needed to draw out the water and dry the structure. A large pump can remove most of the water, but they also need smaller extractors to get underneath the prep tables, ovens, and other kitchen equipment. 

The extractors are also needed for drawing water off carpeted areas before the glue holding them in place softens and dissolves after soaking in water for too long. The same devices also draw out water from between wood floorboards to prevent splitting and warping. 

These actions eliminate all of the standing water, but there is still the matter of excess moisture trapped in furniture and underneath equipment. To remove it, specialists install fans throughout the building to increase air circulation and direct the damp, inside air outside. For tight spots where the fans cannot reach, they use air movers to direct warm, dry air across damp surfaces to force the moisture into the air where the fans can remove it. 

At SERVPRO of Monroe / West Monroe, we particularly enjoy supporting local businesses. They are the heart of our community, as well as other towns we service like Bawcomville, Richwood, and Sterling.
