Seal Beach Office Elements That Need Water Damage Restoration

Full-Service Water Damage Restoration for Offices
From broken sprinkler heads to a leak in the plumbing above the main office floor, water damage can affect a commercial structure rapidly. The spread of flowing water impacts several structural elements of the property and the contents. Responding SERVPRO technicians must focus on specific objectives to efficiently restore an office after water damages.
The Damage Wall Systems
Wall systems can often take the biggest hit before water damage restoration in Seal Beach offices begins. Even with the metal track framing that does not rust or absorb moisture trapped in wall cavities, surface elements like drywall can get ruined. There are many reasons that we can remove wet drywall, including:
- Dry the structural cavity
- Reach damaged plumbing
- Prevent mold growth
- Eliminate ruined building materials
Sagging or Ruined Ceilings
The plumbing network is typically contained in wall cavities like the space between the ceiling and the next floor above. High porosity building materials like ceiling tiles become heavily burdened from absorption with leaks. Many of these tiles will collapse from the thin framing structure under the weight. We must clean up these materials and remove any other damaged tiles.
Saturated Carpets
Short pile carpeting is common in office buildings. Without the padding, the fibrous surface material fully absorbs water to its capacities. Extraction removes surface water, and tools like our carpet wands can help pull out the trapped moisture in the carpet.
Water-Damaged Contents
Whether it is the electronics, desks, or personal touches to office space, water can be destructive to individual areas of the structure. We evaluate all impacted items for their need for surface cleaning, mold prevention, and drying.
Water emergencies can damage several areas and items within an office building. Our SERVPRO of Seal Beach / Los Alamitos / Cypress team can help with our rapid response when you call (562) 431-9400.
