Flooding Leaves Area Businesses Out of Commission

When commercial flood damage affects your business on the Upper West Side, you'll want to restore things "Like it never even happened."  SERVPRO® knows flooding creates severe hardships for any business. We understand how crucial it is for your business to return to normal operations. Disasters can negatively affect profits, customer relations, and reputation.

Flooding can affect anything inside your Upper West Side business because commercial flood damage includes contaminated water, mold growth, and other menaces. Flooding creates muggy air and intensely offensive odors. Professional flood cleanup services restore your business safely and efficiently. SERVPRO's trained experts arrive with the right tools to safely complete mitigation and restoration tasks.

Here are some effects of flooding that SERVPRO dedicates time toward reclaiming a business from the impact of:

• Elevated humidity, 
• Microbial infestations, and 
• Airborne contaminants.

Our Applied Structural Drying Technician (ASD) assists businesses in drying out their interiors and all of their contents. Reducing the interior humidity level to normal (30 - 50%) is crucial to preventing damp conditions, including those that make the air difficult to breathe and allow microbes to grow unabated.

Microbial populations quickly explode when humidity passes 55%. We decrease the moisture in the air. As often as needed, we apply antimicrobial sprays to surfaces. Another approach toward controlling microbial activity is to replace any materials saturated during the flood. Contaminated water can carry possible sources of food that would not otherwise be available to microbes.

As different substances break down and disintegrate, a natural process, many molecules become small enough to become airborne on normal air currents. Trapping or otherwise encapsulating these smaller fragments controls odors related to flooding. We use air scrubbing machines and hydroxyl generation. Both are safe within damp environments and highly effective.

SERVPRO of Upper West Side is always available to help restore your business and eliminate the effects of commercial flood damage. Call us for fast service, and we're Here to Help® 24/7.
