Effective Approaches During Commercial Water Removal in Phoenix Properties

Water damage at your rental condo is undoubtedly inconvenient. Contact SERVPRO to dry out your property.

SERVPRO Technicians Expertly Tackle Drying Out Your Rental Property After an Event

Large premises usually present unique challenges even when dealing with simple problems. For example, the costs of fixing damages from a burst water pipe in a Phoenix Condo can run up to tens or hundreds of thousands. Unlike in other properties, the leaking water can seep from the upper unit to the ones below it damaging ceilings and walls. Such seepage is what multiplies costs. Besides, some units might be left unoccupied for extended periods, and if the leak originates from such a unit, the water might run longer before anyone notices.
 
The steps taken during commercial water removal in Phoenix affect the success rate and to some extent, the cost involved. Faster removal of water from the property after detecting the source and fixing it is the key to a positive outcome. When you call SERVPRO, our technicians combine different techniques for effective removal. For standing water on the floors, we use portable or truck mounted extractors, but in case it is more than two inches deep, we can use submersible pumps to ensure faster extraction.
 
The removal process can cause some damages if not done correctly. For example, a wet carpet is 50% weaker so our SERVPRO team tries not to be too aggressive when extracting the water because this might delaminate the carpet. For glued down-carpets, we often find an extraction wand more effective while for carpets with a thick pad, we use a heavier tool to complete the removal faster.

Although extraction of water is essential in the earlier stages of the removal process, relying on it alone cannot dry the property thoroughly. Since above average moisture levels can also cause problems, we try to ensure the property is dry to preloss conditions. In this final phase, we use drying tools such as dehumidifiers, air movers and drying mats. The drying mats are particularly useful when working on wooden floors.

By taking the right steps, it is possible to remove water from commercial spaces fast enough to avoid extra problems or costs. You should call SERVPRO of Phoenix at (480) 503-2090. We're Faster to Any Size Disaster so we can restore your property soon enough.
