Providing Ceiling Repairs from Water Damages

Water damage repair necessary for Lynn businesses can often start with concerns occupants of the space recognize. A persistent dripping ceiling can usually point to a more significant issue within the structural cavity or with the roof, requiring several construction and repair services to begin. Our SERVPRO team starts with removing oversaturated materials that can become too heavy for drywall screws and other fastening hardware to support. Burst pipes within these structural cavities can also make the vacuuming out of wet insulation and its reinstallation a part of water damage repair.

Resolving Leaking Roof from Storms in Lynn Properties

Harsh weather conditions can also lead to a need for water damage repairs. When strong winds, torrential rain, hail, or heavy snowfall impact the building's installed roof, vulnerabilities can form that allow for moisture penetration. With many single-story storefronts or aging commercial properties throughout the coastal community, water penetration can begin deteriorating many exposed materials. Water damage repair conducted by our team addresses these concerns temporarily with tarping and board up. Full-scale build back and reconstruction are often required for water damage repair following storms.

Flood Restoration Steps Beyond Water Damage Repair

Water damage repair is only part of the restoration process for area businesses. Much of the work that must get done inside of these buildings is intended to remove standing water, dry up moisture, or provide adequate water clean up. As challenging as water damage incidents can become, our professionals must ensure that our drying measures meet the expectations and timeline of our initial job scoping. Moisture detection meters and thermal imagery can both be used to track the presence of damp pockets to direct air movers and dehumidifiers in the appropriate areas. Beyond centrifugal air movers, evaporation recovery tools include:

• Positive/Negative Pressure Systems
• Axial Air Movers
• Desiccant Dehumidifiers
• Portable Heaters
• Trailered Generators
