When you work for yourself, you realize rather quickly that many things can affect your business. From clients and customers to employees, and then the day-to-day functioning of your business, you can find yourself with little time for emergencies and accidents. However, they often happen when there is absolutely no time for them. This is why we are available 24/7 to assist with your commercial water damage clean up and restoration needs.

SERVPRO technicians and professionals are trained in the latest techniques, and with the latest equipment, to pump out the excess water that is damaging your place of business. After our pumps have drained the excess water, we can begin drying your office or factory. Complete drying is needed so that damage assessments will be accurate. These must be completed prior to any restorative work beginning. In Minden, commercial water damage can halt business, and cause financial woes to both you and your employees.

Secondary Damages to Commercial Water Damage

In addition to the threat of mold developing, the are other secondary damages that increase in risk in the presence of commercial water damage.  These are electronics and their internal components becoming corroded, metal structures becoming rusty or corroded, and weakened by this damage (posing additional risks to employees and clients), weakened floors, and bacterial contamination. These risks are not as high when the water is from an internal source, nor are they as extensive in many situations but the secondary damage may still result if water is left standing for too long a period of time. Slower deterioration of building materials can also take place over time, as well. This can lead to an infestation of silverfish and termites if not repaired promptly.
