Chattanooga Commercial Water Removal - SERVPRO

Standing water can shut down a business in just a few hours. Regardless if it's the result of a storm or damaged plumbing, it has to be removed quickly in order to prevent damage, get the doors opened, and start serving customers again.

SERVPRO knows how important commercial water removal is for Chattanooga businesses. This can be a difficult process, but our people will explain every step and to work as rapidly as possible.

To ensure rapid action, SERVPRO maintains 24-hour response and restoration teams. Once a team arrives, the inspector will determine the extent of the flooding, its source and then put their equipment and personnel to work. We maintain an extensive inventory of commercial pumps to remove water. If the power is out or if the building's electrical system is compromised, we also maintain generators and generator trucks to ensure uninterrupted service.
Once we have the water pumped out, our technicians employ air movers and dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture.

While the paper is quickly damaged and cloth (furniture, curtains, etc.) can be compromised in a matter of hours, floors, and carpeting can still be recovered. Specially designed heaters and water extractors can prevent wooden floors from warping and concrete slabs from forming cracks.

If done quickly enough, they can also prevent water from leaching floor varnish and carpet color.
Moisture also has to be removed in order to prevent mold growth. Drywall is an exceptionally vulnerable building material; it disintegrates quickly and becomes a food source for a growing mold colony. When moisture is brought down to normal levels, growth quickly stops and affected panels can be safely removed.
