Commercial Flood Damage Restoration In Fort Walton Beach Can Involve Contaminated Water
During this time of the year, the Fort Walton Beach area can get hit by storms that bring high-speed winds and extreme rains. When the rain pours in large amounts over a short amount of time, your office could become the victim of excessive commercial flood damage. Any time moisture enters your office building from the outdoors; there is always a chance it could be contaminated.
When working on your commercial flood damage project in Fort Walton Beach, our SERVPRO technicians take extra measures to ensure safety for the occupants of your office and our workers. If rainwater leaks into your office complex from the roof, there is a chance that it could be contaminated, so it is considered a category two situation. However, if muddy moisture comes in from the ground when the rain got deep outside, it can be classified as a category three problem because the dirt in the ground most likely contains harmful microorganisms.
When working with category two or three flood damage scenarios, our SERVPRO team takes extra caution to sanitize any affected areas inside your office and prevent any spread of the contamination. When working in your office, we know that different rooms can contain various flooring materials. Some of your offices could have carpet whereas areas like your bathrooms and perhaps your break room could be coated with linoleum or tile. Porous materials like your carpets must get removed when affected by contaminated H2O, but we can often save other types of flooring with extraction and drying procedures.
If we do need to remove your carpets, we can establish engineering controls before any demolition work begins. Since we know that contaminants can spread by things such as foot traffic, air movement, debris removal, or equipment movements, we control the affected area so that harmful particles cannot spread to previously unaffected regions of your office building. We can prevent the spread of many of the harmful microorganisms present by establishing a containment chamber within the affected regions of your office. We can then set up an air scrubber to create negative air pressure within the chamber so that the airborne particles get trapped in the scrubber's HEPA filter.
If you ever need help at your company's office after a vicious rainstorm strikes your neighborhood, call SERVPRO of Fort Walton Beach at (850) 863-2552 24/7.
