SERVPRO Techs Work Hard for Frederick Business Owners with Water Damage

The days of manual typewriters and filing cabinets are long over for running the day-to-day functions of a business. Many businesses rely on complex data center setups, and water damage in and around these building areas can halt operations.

SERVPRO technicians do an initial inspection on Frederick properties during water mitigation jobs. This scoping performs a two-fold action of determining where the water damage is within the structure and what items require removal due to exposure to elevated moisture. For safety reasons, SERVPRO technicians recommend the following tips regarding electrical equipment potentially affected by water:

• Do not test devices
• SERVPRO can arrange for an inspection by an industry professional
• Technicians can remove equipment to a safe area

Elevated interior humidity levels can damage sensitive servers, data centers, and switches. For many businesses, the network is the hub of their productivity. SERVPRO technicians can remove the equipment to a safe area on-site or off-site to a secure location until the water cleanup tasks get completed.

The drying equipment utilized by SERVPRO during water damage cleanup can rapidly bring down the air moisture levels. This occurs because the techs set up multiple units and more than one industrial dehumidifier as needed to ensure the excess moisture gets captured and ported off-site as rapidly as possible. The outcome is a low interior humidity worksite that is safe for normal day-to-day computer equipment.

SERVPRO technicians practice the highest safety protocols during the water mitigation service. This includes wearing protective clothing and ensuring that there is no danger of shock from electrical devices where there is standing water. When needed, the techs can turn off the main power to the building and use generators to power their water cleanup equipment.
