SERVPRO Can Provide Commercial Water Removal Services in Fort Pierce North
Most restaurants have several sinks for cleanliness and food preparation; thus, water supply lines run to them. The more pipes running through a building, the higher the risk of a pipe bursting. Pipes can break in several different ways, which can cause moisture to flood your structure. Or appliances can malfunction, or drains can back up and cause standing water to build up on your restaurant's floors.
Whenever our SERVPRO technicians work on commercial water removal projects in Fort Pierce North, we thoroughly inspect before work begins to determine what equipment we need. For example, if there are more than a couple of inches of standing H2O on your floors, we can use a submersible pump. The pump sits in the water and pumps it into one of your sewage drains.
If your carpets get wet, we can sometimes save them through extraction and drying procedures. We can use a handheld wand to remove moisture for thin, glue-down carpets. For thick carpets, we can use a weighted extraction tool that uses the operator's weight to compress the fibers and allow more moisture to get extracted. If your restaurant's hard floors, like tile or linoleum, get wet, we can use a mop and squeegee to remove the liquid H2O.
Once the liquid water gets removed, we can start the applied structural drying (ASD) process. Depending on the extent of the damage, we can calculate the correct amount of air movers and dehumidifiers. The air movers push air around counterclockwise to help speed up the natural evaporation process and remove moisture soaked into your building materials. The dehumidifiers then pull water out of the air the keep the relative humidity numbers low.
Other ways we can help your business after a water leak:
- Content pack-ins and pack-outs
- Set up desiccant dehumidifiers to dry out the concrete
- Disinfect possibly contaminated materials
- Restorative carpet cleaning
- Deep final cleaning
