Commercial Flood Damage New Orleans – Fast Cleanup and Drying Avoids Mold Infestation

There is not much that can be accomplished to stop flood damage from tornadoes, hurricanes, and flash flooding once groundwater enters your business. With adequate warning, a well-established emergency plan implemented in time can protect some valuables, employees, and customers.

SERVPRO has operated in the New Orleans area providing commercial flood damage services, mitigation, and restoration to both business and residential customers for the past fifteen years. Our experience has shown that professional cleaning and restoration can return your business to full operation much more quickly and at lower overall cost than attempting to self clean your business after a flood.

Fast Cleanup and Drying

SERVPRO deploys the right equipment and the correct techniques to reduce the damage from floodwaters. We use submersible pumps, weighted extractors, or hand-operated wands to remove moisture from difficult to access areas. Contaminated carpeting may need to be removed, and perhaps flood cuts in walls are made to remove wet drywall as well as expose potential cavities filled with water.

Avoid Mold Infestations

Mold is everywhere, and with the right conditions, an infestation can set in and grow. Moisture and warmth in closed areas are excellent breeding grounds for mold colonies to become established. Many clients run into trouble utilizing a self-clean up approach. Moisture inside walls and under carpets or other crevices are missed on the initial cleanup. Once a colony of mold is established, clients notice a musty smelling odor. The source may be difficult to find and eliminate. You may need to close your business a second time to deal with the mold.

Trained SERVPRO mold mitigation experts can assist in removing any chance for mold to grow and avoid business shutdowns multiple times. (From the initial flood and later to remove mold colonies). We use infrared cameras, penetrating, and non-penetrating moisture meters, thermos-hydrometers, manometers when negative air pressure solutions are used. Also, inspection cameras and borescopes are used to reach difficult areas. Luminometers are used to test for organic material.

Our objective is to return your commercial space to you, "Like it never even happened."
