How do restorers dry a busy retail store without causing destruction?

The restoration process may create slip, trip, and fall hazards in the affected area. That is because surfaces get slick, and power cords and equipment hose can cause your employees to slip, trip, or fall. We can brief your employees about the hazards and post warning signs.

When drying your wooden floor, we can use a portable electric heater to direct heat on specific areas. To prevent the heat from affecting your products and employees, we can contain the surface using a 6-mil plastic sheeting, tape, and tension poles. The equipment increases the evaporation rate leading to faster drying.

Since water may have seeped behind the drywall that holds your shelves, we can drill small holes to access the moisture. Our SERVPRO restorers can use structural cavity drying equipment attached to an air mover to direct airflow into confined areas without destroying the drywall.

Water seeping into your retail store can damage inventory in the stock room and products in the selling space if restoration is delayed. Contact SERVPRO of Palmdale North at (661) 526-3649 for professional restoration that can make the water loss seem, “Like it never even happened.”
