Professional Water Mitigation for Frederick Shops

Immediate Water Cleanup Action Reopens Shops Faster
A water disaster can close up your doors and make it difficult for production to return to normal. Unfortunately, many businesses that close due to damage never reopen, and as leading restoration specialists, SERVPRO is here to help ensure that’s not your shop with effective remediation.
Debris Cleanup and Removal
To start water mitigation for Frederick shops and stores, we must first identify the severity of the situation with an inspection. Then, to thoroughly conduct the assessment necessary, professionals must remove bulk materials and debris created by the loss event. Finally, vacuums, hand tools, and personnel work together to eliminate the buildup that slows mitigation.
Addressing the Surface Water
The earliest water removal objectives target surface pooling throughout your shop. Standing water can overwhelm your inventory and continually damage exposed building materials, making extraction a vital component in returning your business to its original condition. A combination of wet vacuums and submersible pumps has the most significant impact on water removal needs.
Removing water entirely goes beyond the standing water concerns into what materials have become wet by this moisture presence. We use air movers and dehumidifiers together to regulate evaporative drying and humidity. In addition, our team continually monitors using sensors and thermal imagery to remove all water threats successfully.
Are All Materials Salvageable?
It is important to note that our professionals can only salvage some water-damaged materials in some scenarios. Sometimes moisture exposure is too lengthy, deteriorating the impacted elements and requiring controlled demolition, discarding, and later reconstruction. Some of the common materials that become irreparably damaged include:
- Drywall
- Carpeting
- Trim
- Furniture
When shops and storefronts are damaged by water, the mitigation stage will ultimately significantly impact when doors can reopen to your customers. Our fast-responding SERVPRO of Frederick County professionals are available 24/7 to help at (301) 662-1747.
