Water damage in a hi-rise Harrisonburg commercial building needs SERVPRO' rapid response, We're Faster To Any Size Disaster

Water damage is fast-moving and destructive within Harrisonburg commercial properties

Water damage can slow or stop the production of your office building until restoration and recovery get underway. Because we have experienced professionals capable of helping with mitigation 24/7, we can get a team mobilized after the first notice of loss to protect the structure from irreparable harm from many damaging effects.

Spreading Surface Water

Among the first ways that water damage and Harrisonburg offices can be destructive is through the fast motion of standing water in the building. Without containment, water continues to spread along flooring and surface materials. We utilize wet vacuums and pumps to extract pooling water from low-pile carpets and wood floors.

Absorption into Sensitive Materials

Carpets, drywall, and other porous materials can quickly absorb moisture. The longer this exposure lasts without drying, the more likely these surfaces experience irreparable damage. We use hygrometers, thermal imagery, and other sensitive water tracking instruments to identify damp pockets that require resolution.

Impact on Contents and Wares

Contents like the office furniture, desks, electronics, and file cabinets are all positioned to be directly impacted by water, water vapor (excess humidity) and subsequent mold damage. Protecting these contents starts with immediate actions like relocation to safer places in the building.
