Severe Spring Storms Threaten Carol Stream Businesses with Flood Damage

Winter moves on just in time for the rumble of thunder as rain sweeps from the western prairie towards Carol Stream. Damage to your commercial building from torrential precipitation resulting in overland flash flooding often occurs without much warning during volatile circumstances as the temperature warms and moisture builds in the air. Although the timing of a flooding loss might be unpredictable, business owners can prepare to minimize the effects on contents, equipment, and operations.

Flooding Can Impact Day to Day Business

When flood damages Carol Stream commercial spaces as owner or manager, you might fear a temporary shutdown is inevitable.

Taking your products or services out of the marketplace even briefly can force your customers to look elsewhere, and they might not return. The fast and efficient flooding mitigation and remediation efforts of our trained and certified crews help eliminate the uncertainty your clientele feels, restoring confidence and solidifying their loyalty to your brand.

Commonsense Adaptations

Long before the skies open with several inches of rain in a short period, SERVPRO recommends you rethink storage and equipment placement choices. Moving critical paperwork offsite and availing yourself of digitization are two strategies. Packing records in waterproof containers and stashing them above the potential flood line is another. Raise equipment and HVAC and other systems several inches above the floor to minimize the effects of flooding 

Expert Help for Water Removal and Drying

Even if you took steps to limit flood damage to contents and equipment, the flood water requires active removal to prevent structural damage. Nearly every type of commercial building material is vulnerable to water damage, and the contaminants in Category 3 flood water demand even water-impervious surfaces receive deep cleaning and disinfection to ensure safety when full business operations resume. SERVPRO offers a scalable response, able to bring in enough equipment and technicians to pump and extract flood water fast, keeping in mind the 24 to 48-hour timeframe when mold damage can begin. EPA-registered cleaners and disinfectants clear the pathogens that otherwise might linger. Then we use research-based drying methods to normalize moisture levels in materials and stabilize humidity appropriate for your operations.
