Commercial Water Cleanup Actions For Sanford Businesses

In a small, unincorporated area like Sanford, every business is vital to the community. Here, the General Store is a community hub for residents just like they were for hundreds of small towns across the county only a few decades ago. If the owner has to close the doors due to water from a failing freezer case or a broken inlet pipe, everyone can suffer.

At SERVPRO, we know that rapid water cleanup is vital to the Sanford area. Our cleanup and restoration teams can move in quickly to remove the water, dry the facility, and take care of other issues created by the flooding.

To start the process, team members turn off water to the source of the problem and bring in commercial grade pumps to remove the standing water from inside the structure. Depending on the amount of the water on the floor, personnel can draw off this majority of the water in only a day or day. To complete removal, team members use extraction wands to draw off the remaining amount and then use long-handled squeegees to push the last traces of it out the nearest exit.

If the water source is the result of a minor issue, SERVPRO technicians can fix it. That includes split water hoses, some pipes, and replacing a broken toilet. If there is a major problem, our team leader always recommends bringing in a licensed contractor to perform the repairs.

With a variety of display racks, freezer units, and other equipment to dry, additional team members begin the cleaning and drying process as others remove water. Most of these items are metal, so there is no concern about paint or finishes leeching onto the floor, staining it. Specialists can wipe down these surfaces with dry sponges and perhaps only a mild detergent or another cleaning agent.

If the flooding caused equipment to fail, then there is an issue with melted and spoiled food. Cleanup is fairly easy, but then team members need to clean the floor and inside of affected cases with a strong cleaning agent to eliminate any health threat.

Our goal at SERVPRO of Lee & South Chatham Counties is to help every business in our area reopen to customers with a clean, healthy environment.
