Commercial Water Removal Service

When a Nashville business floods, many owners try to remove property or push the water out of their business themselves. Even if there is only enough water to cover the floor, getting rid of it without professional help is not advisable.

Commercial water removal in Nashville needs a trained restoration service. SERVPRO technicians train to the industry standards established by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification). Following these rules is important, especially when the client is a small business like a bakery. Getting the job right can mean the difference between staying open to customers and losing everything.

Since most commercial water damage results from a failed plumbing issue, the first task is to find and stop the leak. Our specialists can repair most minor issues, but if the problem is larger than a failed connection or a split water hose on an industrial dishwasher, the restoration team leader recommends bringing in a licensed plumber.

Now, the heavy lifting begins. The team leader directs bringing in one or more water pumps for any amount high enough to cover the tops of his shoes. Even in a business with a large floor area, our specialists can remove the water in a day or two.

Once completed, specialists switch to water extraction wands. These smaller devices draw water off of concrete and linoleum quickly and are also excellent for drawing water out of carpets in office or customer service areas. The wands SERVPRO uses also contain a heating element, so the handlers can also adjust the temperature to begin drying out these carpets simultaneously, saving time.

In a food service facility, it is also necessary to remove water from the air inside. Lowering the humidity helps to dry out the business and also to reduce the risk of mold spores expanding and growing behind ovens and other equipment or starting to spread behind bathroom walls. Specialists install dehumidifiers to draw out up to 25 gallons from the air every 24 hours. The exact rate depends on how heavy the air is with moisture.

The goal at SERVPRO of Madison / Goodlettsville is to help each business reopen as soon as possible. If you have any water issues at your business and need our removal service, call us at (615) 868-5324 today to get started.
