SERVPRO Provides Help with Commercial Water Restorations in Helena

One day you could walk into your clothing store and find puddles of water from a broken pipe. Once moisture enters your store from a leak, your building materials can start to soak up water, and your relative humidity can rise. Since mold can start to grow in 48 hours if organic materials stay wet, it is essential to remove all moisture in the air and water that has saturated your contents and building materials.

When working on repairing commercial water damage in Helena, our SERVPRO technicians start by figuring out where the water went and what items in your store got wet. We can use moisture sensors to see what sections of your carpet got wet. We can utilize penetrating and non-penetrating moisture meters to test moisture levels of building materials like your drywall, cabinets, and wall studs. We can also use a hygrometer to test the relative humidity to determine how much moisture we need to remove from the air.

We can perform the following services to remove moisture from your structure:

• Water Damage Debris Removal
• Water Extraction Services
• Sewage Cleanup
• Restorative Carpet Cleaning
• Applied Structural Drying (ASD)

After the inspection process, we can then start to take steps to remove moisture from your wet contents and building materials. For example, if your drywall got wet from water from the floor soaking into it, it could have to be replaced. If only part of your drywall got ruined, we could make a "flood cut."  We do this by cutting and removing the drywall a foot or two up from the ground to allow for airflow inside your wall cavities.

If you ever work at your clothing store one day and step in a puddle, call SERVPRO of Helena & Great Falls at (406) 458-6008.
