Water damage is a stressful event that can significantly affect your home or business. A leaking water heater, condensation from air conditioners, and severe weather conditions can often result in water damage that can plague your commercial property. Water mitigation is necessary to restore the property to its pre-loss condition.

While you can take steps to prevent water damage, sometimes an event may arise that you cannot control. In an emergency, PuroClean of Aventura- Davie- Downtown Miami is here to help you. We provide restoration services for water mitigation, fire and smoke damage, mold removal, and reconstruction.

Behind the Scenes of a Water Mitigation

Recently, our team received a call for our services at a mental health facility in Boca Raton, FL.

Initially, the broken sprinkler had flooded two facility floors. Upon further inspection, our technicians found eight resident rooms, the dining room, multiple hallways, and other common areas were also affected.

The water damage affected multiple rooms in the facility.

After the inspection, our technicians went to work to complete the restoration.

The most crucial step throughout water mitigation is water extraction. We used our state-of-the-art dehumidifiers and air movers to hasten the drying process in all affected rooms.

Our team used certified PuroClean equipment during the water mitigation.

Then, our experienced team installed scrubbers due to the chemical-contaminated water from the sprinkler system. Scrubbers are air pollution devices used to remove particulates from contaminated water systems.

Typically, scrubbers are not involved in the water mitigation process. However, in the case of a commercial property, they are necessary to ensure the facility’s air supply is clean and due to the category of water, they are necessary to ensure a clean environment.

Unanticipated Roadblocks

There were multiple time constraints because of the sensitive nature of our work and the facility’s need to access various rooms. Additionally, the amount of equipment installed sometimes caused a disturbance due to the loud noise it created for personnel and patients who needed to use the affected spaces.

Ultimately, we were able to complete the majority of the project within a week. We thank our skilled technicians who worked on the mitigation while accommodating patients!
