Removing And Cleaning Commercial Water Damage In Orlando

With Orlando being halfway up the state and as far inland as possible, the damage from water incidents comes as often from plumbing failures as it does from the weather. Depending on the type of business affected, priorities can include removal, drying the facility, and reducing humidity.

When commercial water damage happens to an Orlando pre-school, the manager’s main concern is the health of her young students. For SERVPRO, that means our restoration team has to ensure the facility is not just dry, but completely cleaned and physically safe before reopening its doors.

Usually, a plumbing failure results in ‘clean’ water from the inlet pipe spilling out through a split line or a faulty overhead sprinkler. Even with this clean water, it quickly covers everything and can cause mold spores to expand and grow, looking for a food source like drywall.

SERVPRO team members begin by turning off the water above the source of the leak or shutting off the water completely if necessary. Our specialists can make many minor repairs, but if there is a major plumbing issue, the team leader recommends the owner bring in a licensed plumber.

Next, they remove any standing water using pumps and extractions devices to clear out the facility. Before the damp surfaces begin to dry, specialists spray each one with an anti-fungal agent to halt any mold growth and prevent other spores from expanding.

If the water in the pre-school came from a backed up toilet, this is considered ‘gray’ or ‘black’ water, depending if there is human waste present. If there is, specialists begin by spraying an anti-bacterial agent over the water surface and on any item that might have been touched by the contaminated water. When removing this type of water, specialists pump it directly into the nearest sewer entrance, if available, or a tank truck for disposal at a water treatment plant.

Once our team members clean the affected surfaces, they use air movers, fans, and dehumidifiers to return the pre-school to a dry, safe condition. Specialists would use the same equipment, regardless if the water were clean or contaminated.
