Restoring Commercial Water Damage in Pleasant Hill

Broken Water Heaters and Leaky Plumbing Can Close Pleasant Hill Businesses

Experience and Skill from SERVPRO Help Mitigate Water Cleanup and Reopens the Doors Faster

Although Pleasant Hill avoided the recent storm, for the most part, that does not stop disasters which can close a business for a few days or longer. In most cases, these come from conventional sources like a malfunctioning microwave or a pipe failing in an older plumbing system.
 
Pleasant Hill commercial water damage also affects more than just a single business and its owner. Every day it is shut down, the owner of a clothing store cannot generate the income needed for payroll and to cover the bills, while expenses such as rent still add up. SERVPRO knows that every disaster has to be dealt with quickly so owners and employees can return to their pre-disaster lives.
 
We start by stopping the source of the damage and removing standing water. It is usually just a matter of minutes to determine the location of a leak and then turn off the water line leading into the structure. The response team divides into two groups at this point. One or two members replace the broken valve, pipe, or split hose while the others start to draw out water off floors and carpets using pumps and water extraction wands.
 
As each group completes its work, the emphasis moves to drying out the structure. To do this, SERVPRO technicians set-up dehumidifiers to draw water from the air, clothing inventory, and even the walls themselves. To increase the effectiveness, they also use exhaust fans to force damp air outside the building using warm, dry air generated by air movers.
 
If the cause is an activated or faulty sprinkler system, we bring in additional racks to hang inventory around the business and set-up additional fans and air movers to dry the property. If the items are not damaged using a dryer, we can bring one to the site if space allows, or take the items to our offices and dry them there.
 
Getting your doors open soon after a disaster is necessary to keep them open long term. With decades of experience, SERVPRO of North Lilburn does it quickly while also providing a dry, safe environment for everyone.
