Being prepared to handle water-related damages in your business is very important to avoid the direct and indirect effects such damages have. Most businesses never consider the necessary mitigation steps until their premises are inches under water. People operating hotels or other hospitality businesses in Pinehurst should be more cautious because such incidences can create a bad reputation that the business might never shake off.

Preparing for commercial cleanup in Pinehurst is more effective when you understand the different ways business is affected by water loss. Since no known measure can prevent such an event from ever happening, the next best thing is to ensure that the place can be cleaned up within the shortest period after the loss. Having the contacts of a professional cleanup service like SERVPRO helps because when you detect a problem, you can call us to start the remediation process immediately. Fast recovery helps create a positive image for your business.

Extended exposure to water, even if clean, damages stock. Food items are the worst hit because even if there is no actual damage, packaging or labels might be ruined making it impossible to serve them to customers. If the items are moved immediately the loss is detected, it is possible to prevent some of these damages. Our SERVPRO team that handles cleaning is also able to move items off-site or to another section of the property. Any stock that you save helps reduce the overall cost of cleanup.

Cleanup in a business affected by water takes more than just extracting the standing water. Depending on what the water mixes with, other steps might be necessary to get rid of dirt and odors. Your staff members might be unwilling or unable to handle these additional steps. The property must also be adequately dried to prevent mold, rot and other problems caused by moisture. Our SERVPRO team has the necessary tools for cleaning and drying, eliminating the effects from the loss “Like it never even happened.”
