Commercial water damage restoration is a job for SERVPRO. We use the latest technology and equipment for every disaster.

SERVPRO Assesses All Damages in Syracuse Businesses, Providing Proper Restoration

A leaky or burst pipe may cause water to soak into many building materials like the walls and floors of your Syracuse commercial property. The water can spread far from the source of the intrusion and may not even indicate signs of damage for a long period. Therefore, there is a need for specialized tools to accurately determine how far the moisture has spread and rapid response to minimize disruption. This calls for a water damage repair expert.

The work done during water damage repair in Syracuse business properties can be too demanding without specialized training. SERVPRO professionals have the right tools and skills to minimize risks from common hazards in water restoration work, such as weakened floors which may collapse. Also, an expert is more likely to successfully dry out the structure minimizing the overall damage and risk of future problems.

A few specialized tools for the restoration

• Wet/dry vacuums
• Air movers
• Dehumidifiers
• Moisture meters and thermo-hygrometers

Moisture damage removal

Our technicians measure the moisture content on materials where we notice water damage using a moisture meter. We continue to check progressively further from the damage site to establish the severity of the moisture intrusion. The readings help us know if we need to focus on drying the affected materials or replacing them.

Removing standing water is an important step toward repairing a moisture-damaged business premise. If not extracted quickly, excess water may further damage contents leading to costly repairs. Our crew uses wet vacuums, carpet wands, portable pumps, and mops to remove water from the floors.

SERVPRO often uses dehumidifiers and air moves to enhance drying. By setting up the equipment in the affected areas, we can efficiently remove moisture from surfaces and the air.

Ways of making property waterproof

• Installing additional ventilation
• Selecting floors that can withstand moisture
• Using water-resistant drywall materials
