Tips for Handling Commercial Water Damage in Your Santa Ana Warehouse

Water damage caused by burst pipes is bad enough in any commercial property, but in a warehouse, the stakes are higher. The water can ruin stored merchandise, materials, and tools. The action of the water can also ruin the wood used to build internal walls, storage areas, and shelves.  

When there’s commercial water damage in your Santa Ana warehouse, you need to take fast action to remove the water and dry the affected areas. Water can make existing damage in your warehouse like cracks worse. Small cracks in the floors, ceilings, walls can allow moisture to enter. As the temperature changes, the moisture can ruin your entire facility as it contracts and expands.  

High humidity can lead to mold growth, which can cause health effects. To deal with water loss in your warehouse, you need to stop the leak first and then pump out the water and drain the affected areas. The professionals at SERVPRO can assist you in handling the water loss and restoring your warehouse to its preloss condition. Our technicians can assess the damage and then take steps to extract the standing water.  

We can use powerful high pressure pumps to remove the water quickly. We have portable pumps and shop-vacs that enable our technicians to reach all the affected areas. If there’s a lot of standing water, we can use truck mounted pumps to extract it, since they are more potent than portable pumps.  

After pumping out the water, our SERVPRO technicians begin the drying process. We can place commercial grade air movers at various locations to draw out water from building materials. These machines provide high-speed circulation of air masses, activating the process of moisture separation from all affected surfaces. When air moves across these surfaces, it increases evaporation. We then use dehumidifiers to pull out the moisture from the air, which helps reduce the likelihood of negative consequences. We monitor each stage of the drying process carefully and perform measurements to control the humidity levels in the warehouse.
