SERVPRO is Here to Help Saugus Business with Commercial Water Damage Issues

Generally, water intrusion events cause the most harm to the floor of a building. Moisture moves in response to gravity, and large amounts of it can quickly soak through carpets or floorboards and damage the subfloor. A business must maintain a clean and safe environment for its employees at all times. For this reason, many premises managers opt for professionally trained and accredited restoration technicians when faced with a water intrusion issue. SERVPRO is a locally owned and operated service that has extensive experience dealing with commercial water issues such as:

• Sub floor water damage
• Cavity drying procedure
• Commercial water remediation

Tackling commercial water damage in Saugus often requires a team of technicians and multiple pieces of equipment. A subfloor is a part of your business's floor assembly. It is a cavity between the foundations, or ceiling if above ground level, that supports the upper layers such as floorboards or plyboards. These areas are at high risk and can suffer greatly from exposure to moisture. Floorboards can cup or buckle, while plyboard can warp and, in some cases, become structurally unsound. Our technicians can disassemble the construction layers that make up a floor. From here, we can accurately assess the extent of harm caused by moisture and make an informed decision about whether flooring material can be restored or may need to be replaced.

• Penetrating moisture meters are often used on plyboard or carpets to determine the exact moisture content, with an average balance being around 12%.
• We do not always need to remove flooring. Sometimes air movers, fitted with flex-hose, can circulate warm air through cavities and dry the subfloor.
• If flooring requires replacement, our team can professionally install new flooring at your business.
