Pensacola's Commercial Water Damage Team Discusses Different Drying Methods

If a toilet backs up or a pipe breaks inside your Pensacola charter school, the damage that results could be catastrophic. If the leak happens overnight when nobody is at the school, extensive commercial water damage could take place. Pipes that break can pump hundreds of gallons of water into your facility in a matter of hours. The longer building materials and your contents stay wet, the more likely things inside your Pensacola private academy will get ruined.

As soon as you notice an indoor flood at your school, it is important to call in a professional restoration company such as SERVPRO. Our team is experienced in dealing with commercial water damage in the Pensacola area. We know that large organizations like schools have a chain of command that must be followed before any work can commence. Whether it is a contracted maintenance company or it is handled in-house, we will work directly with whoever is in charge.

We also take measures to make sure that the affected area we are working in is safe. If there are any hazards, present we either immediately mitigate the issue or block off the region. Our SERVPRO team knows that safety is the number one priority when working around your teachers and children.

After we deem the area safe to work in, we begin the extraction phase. Once we are confident that we have pulled up as much moisture as possible, we begin the rapid structural drying process. When attempting to dry out your contents and building materials quickly, we test moisture levels to determine the best method.

In some cases, we use large box fans and create air circulation with air from the outside. However, in most scenarios, we utilize a closed drying system so we can better regulate the environment. In these cases, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to create an environment that helps Mother Nature speed up her natural evaporation process.

In other situations, we utilize specialized equipment like injection driers or drying mats. Injection systems get used to pump air into wall cavities, whereas drying mats help with wet hardwood floors. If you ever go to your school in the morning and notice that a disaster occurred overnight, call SERVPRO of West Pensacola at (850) 469-1160 right after you notice a problem.
