A Severe Thunderstorm Can Flood Your Shop

Flood damage is a substantial possibility during a severe storm that brings hundreds of gallons of rushing water to your business in just moments. Floodwaters can find their way into your shop even if all the windows and doors are locked. For example, water and wind can both carry window-breaking debris inside of your shop. Once an entry is forced, your previously secure shop suddenly is vulnerable to the water. By the time you arrive at your store in the morning, there is stagnant water up to your knees inside.

The flood damage inside of your Lilburn pawn shop is a danger to the valuables inside, also the structure of your building. The whole purpose of a pawn shop is to buy things of value and then resell them. If the floodwaters manage to inflict damage onto your valuables, they can decrease the worth of them. For this reason, as well as the physical well-being of your store, it is vital to call for professional damage remediation services. The faster that a team can arrive, the more likely it is that your goods can be recovered and repaired.

When you call SERVPRO, our first goal is to get to you as quickly as possible. We understand how valuable your time as a business owner is. The less time your store has to remain closed, the less income can be lost for your establishment.

SERVPRO uses top-of-the-line technology while on the job. To remove the standing water from your shop, our technicians can employ the use of truck-mounted wet/dry vacuums, submersible pumps, and extractors. Our tools are designed to remove the water as fast as possible, minimizing the potential threat of further complications, such as water and mold damage.

When it comes to your inventory, our IICRC-certified techs can take stock while attempting remediations. Because some valuables, such as paintings, can be very hard to save from floodwaters, we can make a list of any goods lost. Our professionals strive to make all aspects of the damage easier for you, including any potential insurance claims.

When it comes to the physical building your shop is inside, our technicians can make sure it is at an acceptable level of dryness using a moisture meter. Should your store be below the level, SERVPRO can set up ventilation fans and air movers to help remove the excess moisture.

Should your establishment suffer flood damage during a severe storm, never hesitate. Dial SERVPRO of North Lilburn by the number (770) 709-3266. Our experts are available night and day, seven days a week.
