Commercial Flood Removal Technicians In Stockton Talk About Problems With Leaking Windows

When the rain comes down hard in Stockton, it is possible that moisture will find its way into your book store's building. If water makes its way into your store, then it is wise to call in a professional commercial flood removal company such as SERVPRO. Excessive moisture inside any building can elevate the relative humidity and cause your products and building materials to get wet. We know that saving the books inside your store is essential to reducing the overall cost of the project. We always conduct commercial flood removal in a way that makes it as cheap as possible for your business and your insurance company.

One way moisture can get inside your book store after a rainstorm is through the windows. If a window breaks during the storm, then commercial flood removal in your Stockton book store will need to be completed. If the rain is excessive, then it is possible that your window seals will leak. If moisture gets in from the window, then it will be forced down your walls and onto the floor by gravity. When this happens your contents, and building materials can get wet from the window down.

Once our SERVPRO technicians extract as much water as possible, we start the structural drying process. To dry out a structure as quickly as possible we set up a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers. If several of your books got wet, we could set up extra dehumidifiers to keep the water vapor in the air from ruining your store's products.

In more severe cases when a large number of your books receive damage, we can dry out the items individually. One process we can use for delicate items like books include lyophilization or freeze drying. When we freeze dry items, water gets removed after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum. This allows the frozen H2O to change directly from solid form to a vapor without ever passing through a liquid phase.
