Do You Know Who To Call When Water Damage Strikes Your Pensacola Hotel?

Pensacola hotels are much like any other tourism-based business, and you just cannot significantly profit if you are not fully functional through the entirety of the peak season. The necessity for full occupancy means that whenever you have a water emergency in one of your hotel rooms, you do not have any time to lose in getting it repaired.

There are substantial concerns whenever there is a significant water incident in any Pensacola hotel room, primarily if it occurs on an upper floor of the structure. Not only is this one room now unable to be used, but it also puts any adjacent rentable rooms in jeopardy as well. Flooding indoors in an upper-level hotel room can spread quickly, and water removal efforts for your Pensacola hotel must get started immediately to mitigate loss.

The first thing that SERVPRO is going to do when they get to your hotel is to set up to start removing water. Considering that this needs to be a controlled event to prevent disturbance to other paying guests, smaller portable pumps and wet-vacs used instead of truck mounted pumps. The faster that the water can be pulled off the floor and rerouted through wastewater pipes or into a pumper truck for removal, the better. With rooms sharing common walls, it does not take much time for standing water to work its way through drywall and insulation to reach neighboring areas to the damaged zone.

Once the large volumes of water have been cleared off of the floor, and the source of this water has temporarily stopped, restoration efforts can officially begin. The process involves both thoroughly drying the damage using spot specific heating fans and repairing the damage to the plumbing. Given the extent of structural damage, SERVPRO might work in conjunction with a hired contractor to prepare the area for new drywall and other building materials so that the construction work can quickly follow the completion of the water damage restoration effort.
