When storm water and flooding damages your property there is a high probability of contaminants in the water, causing the flood damage. When considering a solution to your commercial or residential property water damage, our SERVPRO technicians will access what type of water caused the damage. This assessment will help our crew make the most effective plan for cleaning and removing the water, drying and mitigating the damage and repairing and restoring your property and contents correctly.
When your property suffers a water damage there are 3 types of water that could have caused your property damage, including clean, grey and black water. Understanding what type of water is affecting your property is critical to ensuring proper cleanup and restoration services.

Rapid water extraction and mitigation is key to avoiding secondary damage concerns and excessive humidity in your property. High humidity and other secondary damage occur when the moisture on and in the wet materials begins to evaporate, saturating the surrounding air. Previously unaffected materials now take on moisture. Early signs of high humidity damage include condensation forming on walls, ceiling tiles sagging from high moisture content and paper stock taking on moisture to the point it cannot be used for copying.

This damage is mitigated by controlling the relative humidity inside the building with the use of high-capacity dehumidifiers. Quick action at this stage will keep the moisture content of the building material and contents below the threshold at which they will support microbial growth.

Flood damage from storm tides affected the lower floor in this Manhattan apartment building. The rising water caused extensive water damage and the apartments needed some demolition before the restoration and replacement could be completed. Our SERVPRO of Central Manhattan crew tossed the flooring materials and gutted the non-salvageable drywall. This effort allowed for proper drying and the owner and tenants eventually felt "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO of Central Manhattan arrived at this commercial property when it had an inch or so of standing water.  We extracted the water and got to work removing the water damaged materials. Once all the wet materials were removed we set up the drying equipment. Our SERVPRO teams are trained and IICRC certified in property water damage restoration and mitigation; we always take the proper care while working quickly and efficiently to guarantee minimum down time and loss of property following a water loss.

Storm Damage at this Manhattan commercial building was created by high winds from a powerful storm. A section of the building's roof was ripped off, and rainwater made its way into the interior of the building damaging insulation, ceiling tiles, and the walls and flooring.
