SERVPRO Performs Commercial Water Cleanup for Marlborough Businesses 24/7

Ceiling water damage in retail spaces can be tricky to clean. Whether the leak is from a damaged pipe or faulty sprinkler system, the stains and potential odors caused by this damage can be unsightly and require rapid mitigation to prevent the onset of contaminants like mold. 

If your business needs commercial water cleanup in Marlborough, SERVPRO techs are always available to remove the damage and keep your business safe and clean for customers and employees alike. SERVPRO employs high-tech measurement tools and cleanup modalities to ensure precise mitigation while keeping costs for business owners low. 

What Can I Do To Mitigate Damage Until Technicians Arrive?

• Collect leaks in a bucket or tray. Even if you use a water-resistant ceramic tile or polished concrete in your storefront, extended exposure to water can eventually seep into grout or flooring under vapor barriers. 
• Remove affected ceiling tiles. Water-damaged tiles can eventually warp and crumble from exposure to water.
• Protect the floor. Ceiling leaks can spread over time, so take care to protect your flooring with rubber mats, tarps, or other floor coverings, even if there is a vapor barrier finish on the flooring. Water can seep into cracks and damage flooring or subfloors over time.
• Take care of inventory. Move inventory near the leak to a clean, dry location to prevent water damage to your salable goods. 

How Can SERVPRO Restoration Techs Dry My Storefront?

After extracting water with portable extractors, SERVPRO can deploy high-powered centrifugal air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to dry your business. Techs can remove damaged ceiling tiles to keep your business safe and encourage ventilation in the affected area. If the insulation in your ceiling is also compromised, technicians can vacuum it up, clean and dry fiberglass or rock wool insulation, and reimplement it in your structure.

SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord preserves businesses with cleanup that is Faster to Any Size Disaster. Call (978) 486-9868 to begin mitigation within hours of your initial contact.
