Manage Commercial Water Damage in Your Chicago Office Quickly to Prevent Serious Losses

Your office is one of the first places you interact with your existing and potential clients. The way people perceive your office can influence their decision on whether to work with your company or not. An unfortunate incident like water intrusion can ruin the professional environment of your office, turning away clients in the process.

The inconvenience of commercial water damage in your Chicago office is not merely the destruction it poses to the building and its contents; it is the aftermath that demands an immediate water removal plan. People base some of their decisions on how they feel. If you make them feel confident about your services and your business premises are well maintained, your potential clients can readily build a working relationship with your company. However, if they notice haphazard attempts to fix broken pipes, disorganized or damaged equipment, and a damp, musty odor, they may perceive that you do not take pride in your office.

Water damage can bring normal office operations to a standstill. Remediating the issue is crucial so that you can continue with your daily operational duties that keep things moving forward, such as tracking orders, maintaining employee records. A water intrusion problem in your office can damage computers and networks, copiers, and faxes, among other essential equipment. If you have stored hard copies on-site, water can ruin vital records like order histories, employee information, and other documents.

If the water damage is severe, you may need to shut down the office for several days, which could affect your revenue. Your employees may also be out of work, and this can ruin their finances too. Such an incident can have a ripple effect that impacts many people. Our SERVPRO technicians can help you bring things in your office back to normal. We can remove the water and dry the affected areas within the shortest time possible.

Moisture in your office can contribute to mold development. Mold often grows in dark areas, areas with poor ventilation or behind surfaces like carpeting, subflooring, and drywall. Mold can cause health effects to the people working in the office. Our technicians can use penetrating moisture meters to test for moisture underneath wood flooring or inside walls. To check for moisture in challenging areas, we can use infrared cameras.

We can use axial air movers to increase the evaporation of moisture from affected surfaces. These air movers can move larger volumes of air and are therefore ideal for restoring commercial buildings. Our SERVPRO team can remove water vapor from the air using desiccant dehumidifiers. We offer quick and comprehensive restoration services at affordable costs.

If your office in Ford City, Marquette Park, or Gage Park has sustained water damage, SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City can clean up and restore it to its pre-incident state. Call us today at (773) 337-3993 to avoid ruining your reputation.
