Metairie, United States - March 30, 2023 / SERVPRO of Metairie /

When it comes to water removal, commercial buildings present a unique set of challenges that are not typically encountered in residential homes. At SERVPRO® of Metairie, serving Harahan, the team specializes in both residential and commercial water removal and restoration. Here are some key differences between water removal in commercial buildings and homes.

1. Size and complexity

Commercial buildings are generally much larger and more complex than residential homes. They often have multiple floors, large open spaces, and complex plumbing and electrical systems. This complexity makes water removal a more challenging and time-consuming process.

In commercial buildings, there may be multiple sources of water damage, including burst pipes, roof leaks, and storm flooding. It can be difficult to locate the source of the water damage and determine the extent of the damage. Therefore, it is important to work with a professional restoration company like SERVPRO of Metairie that has experience in commercial water damage restoration.

2. Safety concerns

Safety is a major concern in commercial buildings during the water removal process. Hazardous materials, such as chemicals, asbestos, or mold, may be present. In addition, electrical or structural hazards may need to be addressed before water removal can begin.

Commercial buildings may also have different safety requirements and regulations that must be followed. For example, if the building is a healthcare facility or laboratory, specific protocols may need to be followed to prevent the spread of disease or contamination.

3. Business interruption

When water damage occurs in a commercial building, it can result in significant business interruption. Depending on the extent of the damage, the building may need to be closed for repairs, which can cause a loss of revenue and productivity.

In addition, there may be legal and financial implications to consider. If the water damage is caused by negligence or failure to maintain the building, the owner may be liable for damages. Working with a restoration company that can quickly and efficiently restore the building is important to minimize business interruption.

4. Equipment and technology

Water removal in commercial buildings requires specialized equipment and technology. This includes large water extraction machines, industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers, and infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture. At SERVPRO of Metairie, the experts have the equipment and expertise to do the job correctly.

In addition, commercial buildings may have specialized equipment or machinery that must be protected during restoration. SERVPRO of Metairie is trained to handle specific equipment in commercial buildings and takes measures to protect it from further damage.
