Commercial Flood Damage Technicians In Bristol Describe The Restoration Process

Severe weather can happen quite frequently in Bristol in the summertime. If the neighborhood your gift shop is located in gets hit by a severe thunderstorm, it could cause you to have to deal with excessive commercial flood damage. A couple of months ago, a tornado hit the ground in Tennessee and brought with it 85 miles per hour winds. Wind during a storm can also be quite a destructive force. 

When mitigating commercial flood damage in Bristol, our SERVPRO team follows strict procedures and guidelines. We know that storm-related issues can be costly to you and your insurance company and possibly cause your business a loss of revenue. Our procedures and techniques we use are approved by industry standards and are designed to return your gift shop to the way it was "Like it never even happened." 

When restoring problems with your property after a thunderstorm or tornado, our SERVPRO technicians know that the number one goal is to remove moisture as quickly as possible and reduce your company's loss of revenue the best we can. Restoration procedures require us to conduct four main steps. 

1. Initial Inspection and Hazard Mitigation 

When we first arrive at your place of business, we start by inspecting your building to figure out the extent of the issues. During this first inspection, we look for any potential safety hazards and eliminate them before any work begins. 

2. Extraction of Liquid Water 

Any time water makes its way into your structure; it is easier to remove it while it is still liquid before it evaporates into the air and soaks into your contents and building materials. We accomplish extraction by utilizing heavy-duty extractors and specialized extraction tools and extensions. 

3. Structural Drying 

Once all of the liquid H2O is removed from your gift shop's building materials and contents, we then take steps to speed up the natural evaporation and drying process. We do this by setting up air movers to circulate the air and dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the atmosphere. 

4. Final Cleaning 

During the last cleaning stage, we make sure your gift shop looks as good as it did before the storm struck. Final cleaning can also include cleaning all of the carpets and upholstered items in your store.
