Saving Your Business Downtime After a Flood

5/21/2020 (Permalink)

There are several reasons for flooding in your Conway warehouse. Storm surges, torrential rains, flash floods, or overflowing rivers can create an issue for your business.

Commercial flood damage can disrupt your daily operations, leaving you with downtime you cannot afford. Your business always relies on being able to run smoothly, so you should get in touch with us at SERVPRO of Conway & Faulkner Counties and we will waste no time in helping you remove the flood waters and drying out your building.

When we first arrive for the initial inspection, we will determine the scope of the damage and how we need to proceed. We will also make sure there are no safety hazards. We then can begin water extraction with industrial, truck-mounted pumps. Removing the bulk of the water can help with avoiding additional damage like mold growth.

Once the water is extracted, our team members will remove any wet materials that cannot be dried. Sometimes, baseboards drywall, insulation or flooring that is not salvageable is removed. Any cabinet drawers and doors are opened, and toe kicks are taken off as well. Each wet surface must be treated.

This is when we can begin the drying process. We use commercial grade equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air movers, to increase the circulation of air and evaporation. Our team members will monitor the environment daily to ensure that the process goes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Once the materials have met their drying goals than the drying equipment is removed, and structural reconstruction can take place.

SERVPRO of Conway & Faulkner Counties understands that a flood situation can halt the operations of your business in Central Arkansas. We know that this means you will have a loss of income; we do not waste time getting to your business and drying it out. Give us a call at 501-328-3301.
