Call SERVPRO for any water cleanup your business property may need.

How Can I Be Certain My Shop Is Ready for Customers After My Water Heater Failed? 

Commercial water cleanup in an Arlington bakery requires additional precautions for recreating a healthy, safe environment for food preparation and serving customers. SERVPRO specialists train extensively to dry the structure and make each item inside customer-ready again. 

Where Do Your Specialists Begin? 

If the weather allows, they start by opening all doors and windows, and set-up exhaust fans in key positions. This increased airflow helps to increase natural evaporation and reduce the humidity level by drawing out the damp air inside. Where needed, specialists can install dehumidifiers to quickly draw down the humidity to prevent the formation of rust deposits and mold. 

As the fans go up, other team members use pumps and smaller water extractors to draw standing water off the floors. Depending on the type of equipment present, they may also use long-handled squeegees to push water out from under freezers and ovens. For very tight spaces, specialists direct warm air across the floor using an air mover to dry it completely. 

If there are any commercial carpets present, our specialists use vacuums with adjustable speed and heating options. Team members can dry the carpets without softening the glue and accidentally causing air pockets to form.
