ServiceMaster SRQ can handle water extraction in a building of any size. A few years ago we were called on a Sunday morning by a gentleman that owned a four story medical building in Bradenton. A line going to a sink on the 4th floor had busted and flooded all of the floors below it. Nobody would have known until Monday morning if a landscaper hadn’t seen water dripping down into the parking garage under the building. Needless to say it was a huge mess and would need immediate water extraction and drying to prevent further water damage. Within an hour we had personnel using flood pumpers and truck mounts to suck up what had to be thousands of gallons of water.
In some cases it was raining into the lower floors through the ceilings of the offices. Many of the offices had to be relocated to the side of the building that wasn’t flooded. For an organized place like a doctor’s office this was a logistical nightmare. We helped as best as we could to save patient histories and computers with years of information on them. The sheer size of this disaster would have made anyone with less experience want to evaluate their position.
Luckily ServiceMaster SRQ has been traveling to areas damaged by hurricanes and floods for years. We have serviced 12 major disasters over the years and serviced even the largest of office buildings affected by flooding. This knowledge and experience is very important when dealing with large scale disasters. Missing even the smallest amount of water can cause mold and other contaminants to grow. In a medical facility this is a major issue.
We then set up our drying equipment to start removing the water from the walls. We placed over 100 pieces of equipment including dehumidifiers and blower fans. The people in the building joked that they couldn’t go anywhere without hearing the whirring of equipment for the week it took to dry everything out. When the task of removing the water was finally done the Owner of the Building thanked us whole heartedly. He was very grateful to us for showing up on a Sunday and within an hour of him calling. ServiceMaster SRQ can handle any water extraction and dry out, no matter how large or small. Call us 24 hours a day 941 377-2455.
