How Does SERVPRO Handle Commercial Flood Damage in Kingsport Restaurants?
This area of Tennessee experiences extreme weather patterns throughout the year, and commercial flood damage can happen with little warning. Whether the water loss is the result of a tree limb through a window letting rainwater pour in or groundwater from a flash flood, the damage should always have professional mitigation.
When our SERVPRO location cleans up commercial flood damage in Kingsport eateries, we know every hour the business is not open is a loss in revenue and people are out of work. Our goal is to assist property owners in saving the highest number of contents and building materials through our restoration techniques and get them reopened as quickly as possible.
Safety is a significant consideration when cleaning up flood damage. Slip and fall accidents are a real possibility on slick, wet floors, and we ask property owners to stay out of water loss areas until we arrive. If the flooding is from groundwater which is also known as black water, you can expect to see our SERVPRO technicians in protective gear and using disinfectants for any areas they are working in to limit exposure to harmful elements in the water.
Since getting a restaurant reopened and operating, as usual, is our primary goal, we spend extra time doing several passes with our extraction wands — the more water we can remove from surfaces before setting up the air movers and dehumidifiers is vital to faster drying. Special controlled demolition techniques to remove damaged sheetrock may be necessary to allow wall cavities to completely dry.
We strive to cause as little disruption to a business as possible when mitigating damage from flooding. That is why we dry furnishings in place when it is feasible to do so. We place tables and chairs on blocks for drying or move them to another area.
Just because something looks dry, does not mean it is dry. We do not rely on whether or not surfaces appear dry. We take moisture readings before, during, and after drying to ensure the room meets the preset humidity goals. This action negates the formation of mold or foul odors as an aftereffect of water loss.
We know restaurants, in particular, are held to specific standards for cleanliness by the health department. After drying we wipe down all surfaces with our professional, EPA-registered formulas that not only disinfect but are antibacterial and antifungal solutions.
SERVPRO of Kingsport / Bristol is available 24/7 at (423) 245-5552 to remediate commercial flood damage to your business location. We arrive quickly and work to restore as much as possible with our proprietary methods.
