The Role of Demolition in Water Damage Repair 

After disasters, you might be overwhelmed with the appearance and condition of your office building. In some situations, like burst pipes, it is inevitable for controlled demolition and repairs to be entirely avoided. With the experience of our restoration professionals, we can provide comprehensive solutions to emergencies.

A controlled Demolition is a Helpful Tool. 

There are multiple steps and stages to water damage repair for Smithtown offices, though the most important of these preliminary actions include controlled demolition. Some common areas of focus include:

• Carpeted Flooring - short pile carpeting is common in office buildings, and mold and mildew can develop after prolonged moisture exposure. Early signs of mold development could encourage the removal of this flooring.

• Drywall – drywall is highly porous and can absorb moisture and water quickly. It does not take long after this exposure for these materials to swell and degrade. Often, panels will require removal after a limited contact time.

• Metal Framing – it is rare that metal framing will need to be removed, as these are typically nonporous installations. The metal framework can be a stable foundation for rebuilding.

How Do You Know the Rest is Dry?

It is important to ensure the property's dryness before build-back services begin. Our restoration professionals have multiple moisture sensors and sophisticated equipment to track damp pockets through the property and structural cavities. When moisture gets found that could lead to secondary effects like mold growth, we focus drying attention on these areas to expedite recovery to reach needed repairs.

Licensed Contractors for Build-Back

Because we are accredited with a general contractor license (# 51995-H), we can complete the wealth of build-back services that will be necessary with the controlled demolition taking place. Our thorough restoration processes leave several areas where repairs and reconstruction might be required, so having this license ensures that you are getting the best possible service for the time and money you invest for the result.

Water damage repair in commercial settings should get left to experienced restoration contractors like our SERVPRO of Greater Smithtown team. Call us at (631) 265-9200.
