SERVPRO Assists Local Wilmington Business Properties With All Sizes of Water Damage Remediation

Many types of water damage in a Wilmington business, such as a pipe break, floodwater, or a sewage backup, can result in the temporary closure of the business until the cleanup and sanitization of the property tasks are complete. Handing off the job to a professional restoration services company increases the likelihood of the best outcome possible. Waiting to begin the removal can lead to problems such as: 

• Ceiling collapse from water weight 
• The need for mold remediation 
• Delays in reopening due to the need for extensive repairs

It is more likely than not that a Wilmington property will need commercial water extraction at some point. SERVPRO focuses on getting the water removed quickly, and the structure and contents are paramount for getting daily operations back to normal. The leading equipment used is different types of pumping equipment. The technicians have multiple kinds of equipment depending on the specific needs of the structure.

Typically, the leading equipment that SERVPRO uses for commercial water removal is pumping equipment, extraction devices as well as dehumidification. Each type of equipment needs to adapt to the specific needs of the structure. This is particularly applicable when the techs handle floodwater or sewage-tainted water containing debris and solid waste. The self self-priming trash pumps allow solids up to 5/8" to pass through. SERVPRO technicians also have access to submersible units that work in standing water greater than two inches in depth.

There are also weighted, and light extraction equipment brought on-site. The heavier extractor heads are beneficial in businesses that have wet carpets. The heavy heads push down and force water held by the fibers up and out. The lighter heads are generally for removal on tile and slab substrates.
