Team SERVPRO Assesses the Damage in Order to Use the Most Efficient Equipment for the Job

Goulding businesses are as vulnerable to water intrusion as private homes. For medium and large businesses, they are more vulnerable, due to the increased amount of pipe that can crack, split, or otherwise fail. Usually at the worst possible moment.
 
To quickly stop Goulding commercial water damage, SERVPRO restoration teams begin by removing any water covering carpets and floors. Our technicians perform this task primarily with two devices: Pumps and Extractors.
 
Our office maintains a variety of pumps, so our team leaders can match the equipment to the amount of water they need to remove. With deep water, like in a sub-floor storage area, they use a submersible pump with a high level of lift capability and volume capacity. These terms mean that the pump can remove much water very quickly. For more shallow water, technicians use smaller pumps with lower lift and volume levels they move across the surface. The larger pumps in our inventory can be truck mounted and driven to any task.
 
Whenever possible, technicians pump the water directly into a treated sewer, usually a toilet inside the building. If a septic tank services the facility, this is not possible, so our teams recommend contacting their septic service to bring in a tank or tank truck for us to pump the water into immediately.
 
For smaller amounts still or water trapped in carpets and between floorboards, SERVPRO teams switch to extractors. These devices, in the hands of our trained personnel, are excellent for drawing water out of upholstery as well. Each extractor has three primary components: a heater, pump, and vacuum.
 
Our technicians are trained to adjust the temperature and vacuum rate to ensure they do not accidentally cause further damage to the surfaces of the structural or office property. For larger amounts that can cover an entire warehouse floor, they may need to bring in extractors large enough that we mount them on a truck like some types of pumps.
 
Removing water from your business is not a quick or easy process, but it can be accomplished efficiently with the right equipment and training. If you need our services, contact SERVPRO of West Pensacola at (850) 469-1160 today to schedule a visit. We are here to help.
