Carpet Cleanup and Restoration in Your Metairie Office

Widespread damages are not uncommon when your Metairie office building falls victim to a disaster affecting the region. While a business owner is often concerned with several areas of their building affected by the symptoms from a situation like flooding, many do not realize that the right restorers can preserve many of the materials and construction elements that you might consider a lost cause. Carpeting is often a material believed to be unsalvageable when faced with heavy saturation, but a fast response with our industry-leading equipment can help to restore these areas and save your business money.

Carpeting is often one of the first materials exposed and requiring water extraction in your Metairie office building. Considering that nearly all the trafficked space within your building has carpeting, to replace all of these materials after a water loss incident would cost a substantial amount of money. With a fast response from our SERVPRO professionals, we can implement our advanced technology to dry up the damage and preserve the material with limited tear out.

Even with short pile carpeting, which is a typical selection for office buildings, water can penetrate deeply into the fibers and the subflooring materials. To get the water out of these materials, we have efficient equipment like our weighted extraction ROVER equipment which can force the water out of the fibers and padding beneath the carpet. As the water gets forced to the surface, a high-powered vacuum can pull the exposed water out of the area.

We can float carpets too, which helps to eliminate the moisture trapped beneath the backing of the material. By pulling up the edges of the installed carpet, we can focus the efforts of our fast-drying equipment like our air movers to force moisture into the air. Once it is a vapor, our industrial-strength dehumidifiers can pull this moisture out of the environment and release hot air to speed the drying process along. 

Water loss incidents in your office building can pose a threat to contents and equipment that you have inside. You can count on our SERVPRO of Metairie team of certified technicians to arrive quickly with the tools to save your time and money. Give us a call today at (504) 496-0193.
