Water Restoration

Commercial water damage can be catastrophic for businesses, affecting their profitability and operational stability.

A quick response is crucial to minimize the impact, whether a natural disaster or a plumbing malfunction causes it.

Professional restoration companies recognize the urgency of the situation and are ready to respond immediately, ensuring businesses get back on their feet as quickly as possible. They understand that minutes matter.

Commercial Water Damage on Aisle 4

We recently responded to an urgent request from a well-known Latin-American supermarket chain in Houston. Just before a bustling Saturday morning, a burst pipe in their basement unleashed a torrent of water, inundating the area and causing extensive damage to the store’s floors, rooms, and offices. Upon our arrival at the scene, the magnitude of the situation became strikingly apparent.

Up to three inches of water flooded many areas of the supermarket. Using our advanced infrared cameras and moisture meters, we marked out the spread of the water damage across countless rooms and floors. Recognizing the urgent need to reopen the store, we swiftly mobilized our team of 45 IICRC-certified technicians, embarking on one of our most extensive water restoration jobs to date.

The commercial water damage had spread across the supermarket, flooding numerous areas.

Our Team Responds

Our first step was manipulating contents such as shelves and pallets out of the way so we could begin the water extraction process. Fortunately, the committed supermarket staff lent a hand, moving the store’s contents out of the way with record speed.

With the floors cleared, we deployed industrial-grade water extraction machinery throughout the supermarket, diligently removing water from every accessible area. Additionally, our technicians identified irreparably damaged baseboards in certain sections and removed them as necessary. Following extensive water extraction efforts spanning several hours, we strategically positioned dehumidifiers and air movers across the store to begin the drying process.

When the drying phase concluded, our crew applied an antimicrobial solution to exposed and previously saturated structural surfaces. This proactive measure inhibits future mold growth.

The water extraction and drying process wouldn’t have been possible without the use of our state-of-the-art equipment.

Our skilled technicians labored, ensuring the business could reopen on the same day. We began our work at 11 in the morning with indefatigable efficiency to finish by four in the afternoon. Our team’s fantastic work showcased the PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston difference in spades! It’s a truly astounding achievement that fills us with pride.
