Commercial Flood Damage Contaminates Food Preparation Facilities in Wilmington

SERVPRO will get your Wilmington business through the water damage.

Don’t let a Wilmington flood damage your food preparation.

Food production facilities in Wilmington undergo inspections frequently. Cleanliness is essential to providing the public with healthy food items. Dust, soiled towels, and other sources of contamination can shut down a plant until after cleaning and disinfecting of affected production lines.

When a food packing plant in Wilmington sustains commercial flood damage, the contamination is spread throughout the entire facility. Production comes to a stop, many employees lose hours, and consumers become upset about the unexpected inability to purchase their desired items. Flooding can affect your customer base far from your geographic location this way. SERVPRO is always ready to help you recover in a fast and efficient manner that restores safe conditions for both food production and your employees to work. 

We can handle any sized job and any degree of complexity. To eliminate the damage caused by flooding, we carry out many different tasks, such as removing standing water deeper than two inches with submersible pumps and smaller units for shallower puddles of water, washing down machines' components and then applying protective food-grade lubricants on moving parts, spraying disinfectants on flat surfaces and using other methods wherever necessary to ensure complete coverage, and removing debris that covers floors, equipment, and stairways.

• After we finish these parts of the job, we concentrate on drying the interior and the deodorization process. Some food production facilities already implement hydroxyl generators to eliminate noxious odors because of its safety and effectiveness, and we often choose this option for the same reasons. 

Restoring safe conditions for both your workers and your product takes time, but we work as efficiently as possible through teamwork. Our employees can also team up with yours to pack undamaged raw materials, making it possible to securely place it in a more protected, safe location. We work with you so you understand the options available that can help speed up your recovery time as much as possible.
