SERVPRO is Here to Help with Commercial Flood Damage

When a flood hits your Morristown hotel, cleaning is one of the most challenging tasks you are likely to face in the journey towards restoring the preloss state in your facility. The presence of many fabric items, including upholstery, beddings, draperies, and other items, means more items might need cleaning in the hotel setting compared to other commercial establishments. Involving a professional like SERVPRO can help you carry out the crucial steps with ease.

Pretesting Fabrics

After commercial flood damage in your Morristown Hotel, the cleaning process should help eliminate soils and contaminants. However, the process can ruin fabrics if not handled appropriately. Pretesting can help prevent such damages and establish ways to get the best outcomes. Our SERVPRO technicians check various aspects during the pre-testing phase, including checking the fiber and type of weave. We also check fabric qualities such as the potential for shrinkage, colorfastness, and the manufacturer's care instructions. Pretesting also helps establish the type and level of soiling, which is crucial when choosing cleaning agents and methods.

Debris Removal

Various types of debris can pile up in your hotel after a flooding incident. In a case involving groundwater, debris from outside the structures such as silt and mud can find a way inside the hotel. Damaged items, such as shattered glass or chunks of materials from the walls, can also accumulate as part of the debris. With the varying nature of the debris, removal and proper disposal pose some challenges. Our SERVPRO technicians have different resources to tackle the problem. Heavy-duty plastic bags help aggregate waste from demolished building materials. We also have shovels to scoop silt and other fine debris.

Sanitizing the Facility

Various aspects of flood damage, including the soiling of surfaces and foul odors, can create unsanitary conditions in your hotel, hurting your business. Our SERVPRO technicians use different cleaning agents to remove light and heavy soiling. We utilize various deodorization techniques, including wet fogging and air scrubbers to remove airborne odor particles.
