Commercial damage restoration is a service for SERVPRO. We have the manpower and equipment for every size disaster.

Specific tools can provide prompt extraction and efficient drying for Hicksville businesses.

A simple water damage incident can have far-reaching effects on your facility and its employees. All of these scenarios are met with the same urgency, as our SERVPRO team responds fast to disasters of all sizes. Drying is often the most needed, which involves:

• Air movers
• Desiccant dehumidifiers
• Portable heaters
• Positive pressure systems

However, before much of this drying can occur, our SERVPRO team must eliminate surface water threats to materials like carpeted floors. Hicksville retail water-damaged properties benefit from rapid water removal and restoration. Let’s keep the doors open for business.

Carpet Wands on Extraction Units

Deep extraction tools like high-powered carpet wands are highly efficient in removing considerable trapped water from carpeting throughout the office building. Because they attach to portable extractors like wet vacuums, wands can move quickly from one affected space to the next. Once much of the saturation threat has been alleviated, focused drying can begin.

Weighted Extractors

Another one of the common tools used in removing water from carpeted floors in water-damaged buildings is weighted extractors. These units use the mass of operating technicians and their own weight to compress carpeting and additional padding layers against the concrete subflooring material. This motion displaces trapped moisture and forces it to the surface for collection by vacuums.

Floating Glue-Down Carpeting

Another action that our professionals can take with damaged carpeting is to pull up the edges to allow for centrifugal air movers to be placed between the subflooring material and the upper layer of carpeting. Infusing this area with warm air will enable the carpet layer to dry more efficiently and possibly prevent uninstallation and replacement.

Office buildings can be entirely overwhelmed with substantial water disasters, but even smaller loss incidents can have lingering and destructive effects on materials like carpeted floors. Our SERVPRO of Hicksville / Plainview team can help with fast extraction and drying where needed to make it “Like it never even happened.” Give us a call today at (516) 733-1800.
