Can Demolition Be Avoided After Water Losses in My Westerly Shop?

5/20/2020 (Permalink)

Not only can SERVPRO mitigate your water damaged business in Westerly, but it also can do the controlled demolition and restoration.

Controlled demolition depends on the severity of the loss effects in your business, and our SERVPRO team can work quickly to minimize this step. 

While terms like demolition might seem alarming in your Westerly shop, this mitigation step is often one of the pinnacle actions that ultimately save time and money on restoration. This decision is not one that gets made lightly, however. 

It is always the objective of our SERVPRO team to restore before replacement when it is cost-efficient, which can mean alternative water cleanup for Westerly businesses when possible. Controlled demolition is done meticulously, however, only removing the portions of materials too severely impacted to restore. 

What Materials Are Most Sensitive to Water Exposure? 

While much of your stock and inventory can be damaged by standing or spreading water, many of your shop's structural elements can also remain threatened by saturation. Some of the most sensitive materials in the boutique include: 

• Drywall
• Wood Flooring
• Shelving
• Clothing
• Ceiling Tiles 
• Carpets

No matter how threatening that water losses might be to your shop, or when controlled demolition might be necessary, our SERVPRO of Washington County team can help. We have a full-service approach from restoration to reconstruction. Call us today at (401) 315-2337.
