Looking for a restoration company? Look no further, SERVPRO is just a call away.

SERVPRO Begins Water Mitigation Right Away

The term mitigation describes a wealth of activities and actions our SERVPRO professionals take when we first arrive at a water-damaged office building. Because many of these disasters are threatening enough to close your business' doors for an extended period, getting mitigation started immediately can help reduce this destruction. These efforts could include:

• Extraction
• Content Relocation
• Surface Cleaning
• Repairs
• Structure Drying

The Threat of Pooling Water

Water mitigation for Malden offices starts with evaluating the property's condition, like the presence of pooling water. Standing water can be hazardous for sensitive building materials. Once moisture gets absorbed, these flooring and wall systems can deteriorate. Extraction devices can help to manage any surface water concerns to prevent permanent damage or the need for tear-out.

Water Absorbing into Building Materials

Flooring is not the only material likely to be damaged by standing water or migrating moisture. Even those constructed with more water-resistant metal tract framing wall systems can be significantly impacted by absorbed water. SERVPRO can drill weep holes to encourage air circulation in these structural cavities and even drying.  

The Destruction of Contents

Documents, furniture, and other loose contents can be ruined by water exposure. The urgency of content management cannot be overstated, and these actions must occur as soon as our professionals arrive. The earliest action possible is relocating at-risk items to safer areas of the building.
