After experiencing water damage in your Albany business, you most likely have started to remove as much water as possible and begun the drying out process. After some time, you notice things appear to be drying, however, even though things feel dry, they actually may still be wet, leading to more damage such as: swollen and cracked drywall or furniture, mold & mildew, warped doors and windows and paint blisters.

Whether a water emergency is due to equipment issues, a burst pipe, or weather event, the resulting damage can negatively impact your business in many ways. In addition to the effect that such an event has on your customers, workflow, employees, and inventory, the damage to your commercial building itself can be quite severe.

Water damage is very invasive and can spread quickly into floors, ceilings, walls, etc. Damage can begin in as little as a few minutes, and every minute spent on cleaning and restoring can cost your business lost revenue. Luckily SERVPRO of South Albany County has the training, experience, and equipment to handle large commercial flooding or water damage emergencies. 

A Real Estate firm in a suburb of Albany experienced water damage as a result of a pipe burst.  The entire floor was affected as the carpeting had to be completely removed and the floors had to be bone dry to prevent any subsequent mold growth. SERVPRO was immediately on the scene ready to help!

The sewer main line backed up at this commercial property which affected multiple rooms. 

There are three major types of contaminated water. SERVPRO of South Albany County will inspect that contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your home or business.

Commercial water damage resulted from a sewer backup in this Albany office building. As the photo shows SERVPRO of South Albany County technicians clean every inch when they go to work. They are shown in the protective gear required when dealing with raw sewage.

The sheen on this floor after a SERVPRO night crew worked its magic speaks for itself. Our IICRC industry certified technicians can strip this commercial vinyl floor of built-up wax, dirt, and grime on a scheduled maintenance program or as a one-time request. The baseboards and corners receive special attention, and all the desks and tables are returned to their exact locations. In this case, we cannot say "Like it never even happened." It looks better!

Commercial water damage should always be cleaned up quickly to prevent secondary damages from the water, but when the water leak is directly on an electrical fixture such as a ceiling light the urgency increases.

This mold damage shows how truly extensive a water damage can become when not properly remediated by an accredited company.  SERVPRO of South Albany County has the certifications and expertise to help remediate water and mold damage.
