Commercial Building Basement Water Damage

The basement is a known hot spot for water damage to occur. Basements can flood day or night, on weekends and even holidays, and that’s why SERVPRO® of Annapolis/ Severna Park offers 24 hour emergency service, 365 days a year. You can expect an immediate response time, day or night. Immediate action is crucial when dealing with flooded basements. As water damage specialists, we have the advanced training that enables them to get your basement dried properly and any affected belongings cleaned and dried. 

Recently, SERVPRO® of Annapolis/Severna Park was called to a commercial property in Annapolis with water in the basement. The first thing our team does is ask the property owner where they think the water came from. Then the team will identify the source to make sure it is stopped before any restoration or drying of the building. Next, we will continue with our inspection and use of equipment to make sure the area is completely dry. Specialized air movers/fans and dehumidifiers were used to draw the remaining moisture out of the basement. The faster the water is removed, the less chance of serious damage to your facility.

After any water damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first:

• Is it safe to stay in the building?
• Electrical and “slip and fall” hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns.
• Wet materials can be very heavy. Be careful.

The sooner we arrive, the better the chance we can reduce damage and save money.
