The Commercial Water Damage Restoration Process in Richmond
Commercial Ceiling Water Damage
Wet drop ceiling tiles are removed, the space above is dried and leaks from roofs, sprinklers or rooftop units are traced.
Commercial Carpet Drying Services
Carpet in lobbies, offices and hallways is dried in place where the water was clean and extraction was fast.
Restaurant Flood Cleanup
Walk-in coolers, floor drains and dish areas are common leak points. Water around them is extracted and the walls behind are dried.
Warehouse Water Extraction
Pallets, racking and stock sitting in water are moved or raised first, so extraction can reach the slab underneath.
Commercial Mold Prevention
Drying a commercial building quickly is the main way to limit microbial growth. Framing and surfaces that stayed wet can be treated once dry.
