When Can I Reopen After Commercial Flood Damage In Matteson

This question is often one of the first questions many commercial owners ask themselves after a flood. The owners know that every day the business is closed, it means lost revenue and potentially lost customers. Floods can cause a lot of damage, but delays in cleanup and repairs can be equally costly.

SERVPRO understands this dilemma faced by owners who experience commercial flood damage in Matteson. We strive to clean and decontaminate everything as fast as possible. It is also imperative to complete drying and ensure humidity has returned to normal levels to avoid future problems with mold and mildew.

Decontamination and Cleanup
Floods pick up many contaminants that can be harmful to your employees and customers. These contaminants can include chemicals as well as biological microbes that can cause health effects to anyone coming in contact. SERVPRO evaluates the situation and implements safety controls for the collection and disposal of all contaminated materials in your commercial building. We can clean and disinfect your building to make it safe to finalize repairs and return your commercial space to full operation.

Moisture Removal Avoids Future Issues
There is usually a high humidity level inside buildings after a flood event. Moisture migrates to anything dry and gradually increases the humidity level of wood and other porous materials. SERVPRO uses moisture meters to check the moisture content. We continue applying drying processes until all materials have been returned to standard moisture content levels.

Mold and mildew can infest a commercial building if humidity levels do not return to normal levels. Not only can mold destroy structure elements, creating an unsightly mess, it can also cause health effects for many people. Your employees and customers could be affected.

SERVPRO can evaluate the flood damage to your commercial building, explain all of the steps required to return your structure to pre-flood conditions, and provide an estimate of how much time may be needed before you can resume operations.
