Water damage can crumble your hospitality business if not restored on time.

Hotel Owners Can Trust SERVPRO to Perform Commercial Water Damage Restoration in their Stockton Hotel

When water seeps on various surfaces of your Stockton hotel, it can lead to mold issues and odors. Also, it can cause other problems like biohazards or fire when it seeps into electrical sources. Contacting SERVPRO technicians is the best decision to minimize the cost of repairing the damage and get your hotel back to its pre-damaged state.

When should hotel owners call the restorers?
Contact our certified technicians immediately you notice water intrusion in your hotel. Our response team is ready to offer commercial water damage restoration in affected Stockton hotels around the clock. We respond fast since we are aware of the damage that water leaves behind in a short period. When we get to your hotel, our team can assess the damage and meet with appropriate hotel officers. We can discuss the restoration plan with you and agree on what we need to do first.

If the water intrusion incident is extensive, we can send a larger crew with adequate specialized equipment. Our team understands the urgency of dealing with water damage before it causes a significant business interruption. Our team can restore the damaged areas in a way that does not affect your hotel's daily operations.

What are some of the critical water damage safety tips?
    •    Water can contain contaminants. If your employees have to contact the water, ensure they have the right protective equipment.
    •    Move or protect all valuable contents like artwork, documents, files, furniture, clothing, and electronic equipment from the affected areas to prevent additional damage.
    •    Isolate or contain the affected areas to protect staff. You can create a plastic barrier around the contaminated area's perimeter and use caution tape to cord it off.

Does the drying process take long?
SERVPRO technicians have advanced drying equipment that hastens the drying process. We can use light wands to extract excess water from the glue-down carpet. We often use the equipment to remove residual water on the carpet's surface after our technicians use a stationary tool. Since the moisture left behind can still pose damage, we can use different equipment to dry it. It includes:

    •    Centrifugal air movers
    •    Desiccant dehumidifiers
    •    Structural cavity drying equipment

Our crew can also use an indirect fired furnace, which uses a heat exchanger to heat the area. It takes dry outdoor air, heats it, and introduces it into the affected area. The heated air in the structure takes the evaporated water from wet materials raising the humidity ratio.
