Keeping Your New Orleans Shop Open After Water Damage

Rapid Water Removal & New Orleans Commerce Continues
Plumbing has grown to be an amazing development over the past century, but it has also been known to cause some problems for New Orleans properties and shops. Many buildings throughout the quarter and city-regions have been here for many decades, part of revitalization and refurbishments after unfortunate flooding. However, the plumbing continues to age and does not always do so gracefully.
What about the plumbing in a building you lease to run your small New Orleans shop when water damage happens? You are often responsible for taking care of it yourself. Knowing the right team to call when water damage occurs can ultimately save you time and money and help your shop to either remain open if it is not too severe or reopen quickly after our experienced SERVPRO professionals have finished restoring and repairing the damages
Often aging plumbing can wear in certain points where scaling and mineral deposits within the pipes have worn the metal thin. While this does not always lead to a full separation of the joints, it can allow for a steady leak that can spread quickly throughout the wall cavities. This situation is where advanced equipment can make a difference quickly for your building.
Our team arrives with leak detection gear that can help deduce the precise location of the pipe damage and expose this area for a fast repair. While ultimately, this is an indication that the entire plumbing system is in jeopardy, taking care of the immediate problem can help initially. We can also utilize thermal imagery to determine moisture pocket locations to find the ideal locations to set up drying equipment like our air movers and dehumidifiers to effectively remove moisture quickly.
Protecting your shop and its stock has to be your primary priority when encountering water damage in your building. Give our SERVPRO of The New Orleans Westbank rapid response team a call today at (504) 348-7526.
