SERVPRO Extracts Water from Retail Shops Mitigating Damage and Downtime
The historical attractions and vibrant food scene in our Philadelphia area entice over 40 million people to visit each year. Businesses that count on the robust tourist trade cannot afford to close even briefly for water damage restoration. SERVPRO works closely with retailers to devise creative ways to keep the businesses open while we complete recovery from a water disaster.
You truly enjoy meeting people from all over the world as they drop into your shop within The City of Brotherly Love while visiting the many sites important to US history nearby. The aging pipes in your commercial space sprung a leak, causing troublesome water damage in your cozy Philadelphia boutique. The option of closing during restoration work is unappealing as it is the height of the tourist season. We contain the tasks needed to clean up and dry out away from customer areas, so you remain open.
SERVPRO knows that shutting your business down to recover from water damage for even a few days risks never reopening. Statistics suggest that nearly half of firms forced to shutter their brick and mortar sites after a water disaster may never open again. Enterprises that survive a catastrophe have a plan in place for recovery and partner with a restoration company that offers flexibility combined with highly qualified technicians and leading edge equipment.
Make the call to our office and expect a SERVPRO team at your store within hours. Water damage rapidly becomes more devastating and its abatement more complex, so the more immediate our assistance, the better. We assess the situation and start pumps working followed by heavy duty water extractors. Our equipment is truck-mounted allowing us to collect and properly dispose of the bulk of the water outside of your site. After consulting with you or your staff, we then partition off the restoration area and set up air movers and dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture levels of air, structures, and contents. Throughout the restoration process our crew measures and monitors moisture levels, approaching and reaching the drying goals set by our trained technicians for everything saturated by the water.
In an older building, we watch vigilantly for any mold activity and use professional grade antimicrobials to knock out any unwanted infestation. SERVPRO workers also evaluate for any pre-existing water damage signs as the broken pipe may have leaked slowly for some time. We scan for hidden water in cavities or recesses as all the moisture must be accounted for before we remove our drying equipment.
