Fully Understanding Water Damage Concerns

Shops and boutiques are part of the ever-expanding retail opportunities in the Monroe area, so when threats from water derail your availability, it can hurt your presence with customers. SERVPRO professionals understand the urgency of managing loss conditions in these structures. They have effective means of controlling water threats on several fronts to get you back in business with as little impact on your boutique as possible.

The Pooling of Water

The first concern with water damage in Monroe shops is water pooling on surfaces. Burst pipes or leaks can begin to allow water to pool, especially on shallow carpeting without padding underneath, a standard installation in commercial complexes. We start by quickly addressing these particular concerns with a handful of powerful extractors in our inventory, including submersibles, wet vacuums, and carpet wands.

The Impact on Building Materials

Building materials and how the spreading water impacts them can also be important for restoring your business. Often the walls of commercial structures are thin and consist of little more than a steel framework, the utilities hidden in the wall system, and the outer drywall layer. Ceiling assemblies are even less complex. It is then easy to assess the impact of water and determine where the action is required, such as controlled demolition.

The Damage to Your Inventory

With shop cleanup and recovery, one of the most glaring needs is protecting the wares and inventory of the structure. There are situations where relocation elsewhere in the building is possible if the cleanup zone is relatively manageable and smaller. Still, pack-out is also possible to have more peace of mind and safely store these contents at our SERVPRO warehouse until restoration completes.
