Office water damage can happen very fast and will certainly prevent work. Call SERVPRO 24/7 to assess the damage and formulate a remediation plan.

Twice the Commercial Water Damage in Carol Stream Office

When commercial water damage strikes, it is vital that the extraction and drying process begins as fast as possible to limit loss to the structure and contents. However, sometimes unexpected things happen.

After a pipe burst in a ceiling resulting in commercial water damage in a Carol Stream office building, there were copious amounts of water on the floor. After extraction of the water in the affected areas, intense storms rolled through the area, and a previously damaged portion of the roof resulted in more water entering the property through the drop ceiling.

Actions to Halt Further Loss

SERVPRO technicians tarp over damaged roof areas, so no further water enters the property while restoration services are ongoing. They use portable pumps to pull the moisture out of the carpeting and remove the baseboards so they can extract the water before it wicks into the sheetrock.

Drying Configurations

Part of each SERVPRO technician's extensive training includes devising the best method to dry each property they work on. Glue-down carpet tends to delaminate when exposed to moisture for too long. The techs work quickly to extract as much water as possible with their equipment so they can move on to the drying phase of restoration. They carefully set up air movers to deliver the maximum amount of airflow to the structure and strategically place the dehumidification equipment to ensure the moisture gets ported away as the loss area dries.

Wet Contents and Limiting Disruption

The techs try to create as little disturbance as possible when they perform their water damage restoration services. Any contents moved to another area for cleaning gets documented, photographed, and included in a detailed report. They have specialized equipment for drying essential documents vital to the business. In the case of electronics compromised by water, the techs can bring in a certified expert to determine if the devices are safe for reuse or need repairs.
