Your Local SERVPRO Commits to Prompt and Professional Water Loss Restoration for Our Stockton Businesses

No matter how water invaded your commercial property in Stockton, you have a very tight timeframe within which to respond. Failure to do so exposes not only your building but also your business to the risk of permanent destruction. The harm to your physical property can be mitigated and remediated, perhaps at a more considerable expense, after a delay. An overarching concern is that your company and brand can disappear if the recovery time is prolonged or postponed regardless of the hard work and capital you invested in building your business.

What Are Examples of Secondary Damage When Restoration Is Absent or Slowed?

If Stockton businesses suffering commercial water damage wait to seek assistance after a water emergency, a wide range of complications can begin to take hold. Even in circumstances where the water entering the building from the event is clean and designated as  Category 1, the potential for contamination of the fluids is significant as the minutes, hours, and days pass. For example, if a supply line breaks and floods your warehouse with treated, potable water, within a short period, the dust, dirt, organisms, and contents now soaked or submerged mix in and leach into and begin to transform the fluids to Category 2 or 3. Secondary damage includes:

• The disintegration of structural components such as drywall, ceiling tiles, laminate flooring
• The weakening of supportive structural elements such as wood framing, struts, subfloors, metal fasteners, and more
• Acceleration of mold and mildew growth and resultant erosion of organic surfaces the fungal infestations both live on and consume
• The proliferation of other pathogens, particularly if the water fills trash or sharps containers in bathrooms, or if the flooding impairs the drainage of sewage or other waste

How Do You Select a Water Damage Restoration Firm that Can Handle a Significant Commercial Scenario?

SERVPRO stands out as a large water loss recovery industry leader in our region. Our managers and technicians responded when areas far from our community needed skilled and well-equipped crews because of storms and other natural disasters. We bring this ability to scale up our response to the vital and valued businesses in our neighborhoods, commerce centers, and industrial parks.

What Do You Look for in a Commercial Water Damage Restoration Company?

Is There a Dedicated Emergency Response Division?

A water emergency does not respect traditional business hours, bursting into a full-fledged catastrophe morning, noon, night, or the wee hours. Our team responds 24/7 and is well-qualified to commence emergency security and safety tasks and speedy water mitigation and remediation, rolling appropriate equipment off our fully-stocked service vehicles.

What Kind of Training Should I Expect the Workers to Have?

It is essential that the company you hire is licensed, insured, and certified to provide the water damage restoration services needed. Our employees complete rigorous coursework and follow up with periodic refreshers and advanced training from the

Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), an international standard’s development organization.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Local Company?

A crucial part of any viable business plan is developing mindful collaborative partnerships with stable restoration service providers in the same community. A proven track record and genuine understanding of the challenges businesses face in an area earns our team the confidence of the region’s business leaders. Unlike itinerant contractors who are here today and disappear tomorrow, SERVPRO has a long history and involvement with commercial endeavors in the northern San Joaquin Valley. We are ready to help with current water damage issues and pledge to be a resource in the future.

What Are the Advantages of the Emergency READY Profile Plan (ERP)?

Work with our experienced project managers to develop an individualized Emergency READY Profile Plan (ERP) long before any water or other damage occurs. The ERP involves an in-depth assessment of the risks in your commercial building, resulting in a well-reasoned proactive protocol our crews follow if water damage strikes. We make recommendations that minimize exposure of your property to devastating damage when an emergency presents. You can use our mobile app to add details that help us understand your operations. You can designate our company as your chosen restoration firm, and appoint individuals to act on your behalf if you cannot be on-site when a crisis happens. 

Premier commercial water damage restoration is a priority of SERVPRO of Stockton. Our community does better when businesses operate robustly and recover from adversity quickly. Call (209) 477-3090 for a prompt assessment and design of a practical plan.
