Water Damage at Commercial Building in Shelter Island, NY

If your business has water damage, SERVPRO of The North Fork have all the equipment and services to handle even the more difficult task. We understand unexpected circumstances and issues can arise, such as standing water or the presence of mold is problematic and would require special attention to be cleaned as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the property.

In the case shown in the photo above, we have an example of a facility which had a water leak from a pipe burst, the water inside expands getting close to freezing, and this causes an increase in pressure inside the pipe. When the pressure gets too high for the pipe to contain it, it ruptures and you will have flooding. 

Pipe burst generate a lot of standing water in existing rooms.  We extract the water, remove some walls that are saturated, clean areas, sanitize and proceed to set up necessary drying equipment to make sure all affected materials were dry at the time of job completion.
