Water Damage Restoration to Commercial Properties
In the aftermath of flooding, businesses face significant revenue losses due to decreased operations and customer traffic. At Comets Mold testing, we specialize in mitigating these losses through immediate, skilled flood restoration services for a range of commercial properties including healthcare facilities, retail stores, educational institutions, and more. Our skill ensures that no project is beyond our scope for us to handle, and we are committed to restoring both your property and business operations efficiently.
Flood damage is more than just simple water intrusion, covering issues such as mold growth from standing water, residual moisture, and compromised air quality. These conditions can affect employee performance, creating health risks and potentially leading to increased healthcare claims or even lawsuits due to unsafe working environments. Moreover, customers are unlikely to patronize a business with foul odors or health hazards, which could ultimately result in closing the business.
Commercial Water Damage Evaluation Process
Upon arrival at your property, our team uses advanced equipment and techniques, similar to those used in residential services, to identify and remediate water damage. This includes finding moisture, extracting water, enhancing air circulation, drying out spaces, and eliminating odors. We conduct thorough inspections to assess damage and locate the water source, taking necessary steps to halt its flow. Special care is taken to address hazardous water types, such as black water, ensuring the eradication of harmful microbes. Mold assessments and treatments are conducted as needed. Items beyond repair are discarded, and heavy objects are relocated during the cleanup process and returned to their original positions afterward. Our use of deodorizing and anti-microbial agents refreshes the air quality in your building, ensuring a safe, fresh environment for both employees and customers.
At Comets Mold testing, we focus on the rapid restoration of your commercial property to minimize health risks and financial impacts, ensuring your business can resume normal operations as quickly as possible.
