A flooded building can be devastating. Water seeps into carpets, flooring, walls and furniture. And this can cause mold, rotting or other damage that may go undetected until it’s too late.

Getting the job done quickly

The emergency phase is not the time to be moving slow. Insurance companies are more likely to pay if the job is done by-the-numbers in a timely manner. If you check your policy you will see that it is the responsibility of the property owner to take action when there is an emergency.

Fast response is the key to minimizing the loss in water damage jobs. Water starts to evaporate on its own if the cleanup process doesn’t start immediately. The air absorbs the evaporated water and redistributes the moisture to other items like ceiling tiles and drywall. The result is secondary damage that can dramatically increase the claims cost. Some examples of secondary damage include:

• Mold spores start to colonize

• Hardwood floors start to buckle

• Plaster and sheetrock sag and crack

• Vinyl loosens from the floor

How Commercial Water Damage Restoration works

The first thing our IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification)-trained technicians will do is use special equipment to find out just how severe your water damage problem actually is. Once they’ve evaluated the damage, they’ll get rid of the standing water. The process differs depending upon whether the water is under the property or inside the property.

Under Property: We vacuum up water using an ‘extractor’ so that everything is no longer soaking wet. If the cause was a broken pipe, we make that pipe plumber accessible. Once the pipe is fixed we get rid of contaminated soil, spray anti-microbial and then replace the bad soil with new, fresh soil.

Inside Property: We try to get there within an hour when the water damage is inside your business. We vacuum up water using an ‘extractor’. We’ll remove furniture from the affected area or put furniture on blocks. If the water is dirty we throw carpeting and padding away. If the water is clean, we dry the carpet if we can. Carpet pads are thrown away because it is cheaper to replace than dry them. If water damage is at a wall we will make small holes in the wall where the (removed) base board was. This will allow air movement to dry the wall.

Our experienced technicians have used our state-of-the-art equipment and procedures to restore hundreds of water damaged commercial buildings in Northern California since 1997.
