SERVPRO is ready with property cleanup after a plumbing problems caused big problems inside this large commercial apartment building

Causes of Water Damage

We see many causes of water damage on Long Island; clogged toilets, overflowing washing machines, broken dishwasher hoses, plumbing leaks, broken pipes and cracked foundations are just a few reasons for damage to homes and businesses.  Floods from heavy rain where the ground can’t absorb it quick enough or storm surges from a Nor’easter have caused extensive water damage to our area residents.  The water damage can be minor, or it can be major leading to destruction of the home or business.  As soon as the water threat is over, immediate water damage cleanup is vital to helping to save your water-soaked furniture, carpet, rugs, clothing and other possessions.

A plumbing malfunction caused extensive water damages to several units of this large commercial housing property. Our water restoration crew got started right away and began moisture mapping the affected areas to locate any hidden damage, and air movers and dehumidifiers were employed to dry the units. Some units required new hardwood floors, while others had ceiling and wall damages. SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore had several mitigation teams removing wet insulation and placing drying equipment in all affected areas. An advantage of using a local SERVPRO near you is our scalable solutions for large and small commercial restoration projects. SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore has a large network of resources to accommodate whatever big or small restoration services are needed. Cleanup efforts continued though the reconstruction and post cleanup phases, including mopping floors, vacuuming, cleaning walls and ceilings, and restoring bathroom tiles and toilets. After extensive work from our local SERVPRO crews, these commercial units were dried and restored back to new.
