Don’t let a Harriman water damage inconvenience your employees day.

Let SERVPRO get your Harriman commercial water damage fixed quickly.

Severe water damage in an office setting might not seem that likely to happen. However, a problem in the restroom or leaks in hidden pipes running along the ceiling or interior walls can lead to severe damage in your Harriman office. Since such incidents happen when least expected, knowing what to do to reverse the adverse effects and restore your premises to its preloss state is what matters. Working with a professional commercial water damage restorer is likely to simplify the process. 

The most noticeable effect of commercial water damage in any Harriman office is disruption of normal operations. Clients and the members of staff expecting you to serve them cannot interact in a wet environment. Operating wet electronics is also risky because it can lead to short-circuits that damage them or hurt those using the equipment. A few steps, such as moving wet items and isolating wet sections can help restore some degree of normalcy. Our SERVPRO teams help move items from wet sections. We also provide plastic sheets to cover items or isolate affected areas. 

After extracting the water, it is necessary to dry moisture from contents and building materials. If there is a wall-to-wall carpet in the office, the drying process is more complicated. Removing the carpet for quicker drying increases the chance of ruining it while in place drying can leave water traces. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate the situation considering factors such as the carpet type and level of saturation to determine the best approach. We also have a wide range of drying equipment to tackle different aspects of the problems. They include: 

LGR Dehumidifiers 

Desiccant Dehumidifiers 

Air Movers 

Injecti-dry systems 

Although the main problems caused by water loss incidents are instant, others might take some time to manifest. Excess moisture in the office or light spills on electronics and documents might not have immediate effects. However, over time, smudges and mold can develop on documents while electronics can fail because of rust. Our SERVPRO technicians check humidity levels inside and outside the office using thermo-hygrometers. We then take corrective measures such as dehumidification.
