What Problems Develop During Commercial Water Cleanup in Riverhead?

Professional Restorers Like SERVPRO Help Address Unexpected Issues that Crop Up

Water intrusions in your grocery store, such as when pipes burst, interfere with regular operations. Apart from extracting the water, there is a need to clean up the shop to remove soil and damaged materials from the shop. Ideally, it should be a straightforward process that starts with stopping the water source where necessary, extraction of standing water, and drying excess moisture, among other simple steps. However, other issues can develop, leading to problems.

What Unexpected Issues Can Develop During Cleanup?

Commercial water cleanup exercises in Riverhead can accomplish different goals, including minimizing the downtime caused by the incident, preventing secondary damages, and removing wastes or hazardous materials, among others. The stated goal influences the actions taken during cleaning, which can lead to overlooking or missing some issues. Many unexpected issues develop because of oversight, including:

• High relative humidity levels
• Unaddressed moisture pockets
• Compromised structural materials
• Odor

How Does SERVPRO Achieve Cleaning Goals While Addressing All Hidden Problems?

The water damage at your store may be unique in many ways but still have some characteristics common in other loss sites. Therefore, our SERVPRO technicians create response plans that address issues likely to cause problems later. Simple steps such as setting up dehumidifiers immediately after arriving at the loss site help keep relative humidity levels standard, thus protecting items that can be damaged by high humidity levels. 

We also check areas such as the floor to establish whether the floor material is likely to lead to moisture concealment. Even with hard floor materials such as tiles, water can intrude through joints to reach the subfloor causing severe problems such as warping and odor later.

The use of advanced equipment helps expedite the process. We bring a wide variety of equipment to every loss site, including:

• Portable and truck-mounted water extractors
• LGR or Desiccant dehumidifiers
• Pressure washers and rotating brushes
