Having issues on reopening your business after water damaged closed you down. Call SERVPRO of Raleigh to mitigate your problems.

Water that has sewage in it creates a hazardous environment for your customers and employees, SERVPRO can restore and sanitize your Raleigh commercial property

A water loss in your Raleigh business carries dangers such as slip and fall accidents, which have the potential to injure both customers and employees. That is why it is a good idea to section off a loss area or, in some cases, close operations for a limited time during cleanup. That is never more important than when sewage is part of the issue. This type of water requires handling as a biohazard and can be dangerous to aspirate or come into contact with, that is why it is essential to outsource the restoration job to a professional mitigation company.

What are Common Losses Found During Commercial Water Cleanup?

When a Raleigh business requires commercial water cleanup, SERVPRO techs keep three things in the highest priority:  

• Safety for all
• Minimizing loss for the property owner (content and structure)
• Prepping the business for reopening as rapidly as possible

The techs move stock and items such as furnishings or stock that have the potential to get affected by elevated humidity levels or sewage-tainted water to another area of the property or a secure place until the premises gets cleaned and sanitized. Any structural materials that absorb water tend to be a loss and get removed, such as:

• Sheetrock that wicked contaminated water
• Seepage under tile flooring or glue-down carpet causing it to lose adhesion
• Cardboard boxes and files on the floor in the loss area

How Does the Cleanup Process Work?

Once SERVPRO techs arrive on-site, SERVPRO techs get to work immediately, extracting the water and defining the loss area that requires cleaning. Because handing water with sewage can be hazardous, the techs wear protective clothing for safety. After drying, the premises get cleaned using professional cleaning agents to neutralize any remaining bacteria or pathogenic elements as needed, leaving the property ready for servicing customers again.
