Starting Water Mitigation in High Rises

Mitigation describes all the needed actions to protect your office building from more significant harm after water damage and flooding. While water removal is one of the most pressing concerns, and determining the best tools to accomplish this, SERVPRO professionals prioritize three main objectives for your damaged office:

• Preventing moisture migration
• Keeping water from nearby areas
• Removing standing water

The Versatility of Wet Vacuums

Our wet vacuum units are the chief tool in Medford buildings' water mitigation. Cleanup is often most heavily aided by removing standing water and trapped moisture, and lightweight, portable units like wet vacuums provide an effective means of reaching inaccessible, damaged areas.

High-Pressure Pumps

High-pressure units overcome the friction of moving water from several stories up to the ground floor by increasing the pressure on the machine. Depending on their setup and placement, these units can be helpful in underground levels of a building, such as you might be seen in a hospital, or with managing standing water several floors above grade in high-rise office or apartment buildings.

Truck-Mount Extraction Units

One of the most powerful extraction units in our inventory runs off the engine of trucks in our fleet. The Green Fleet of service vehicles arrives at your property with one of our mounted pumps. This provides the capacity to remove hundreds of gallons of water per minute, a substantial discharge for flooded office building areas. Its higher power supply also allows it to be an effective tool to manage elevated mitigation needs where a high-pressure pump might not be feasible or efficient.

With many larger office buildings throughout the Everett and Medford areas, we must have suitable water removal and restoration solutions to help these structures after damage. Extraction is one of the most significant concerns, and our SERVPRO of Medford / Everett team has the right Large Loss tools to help when disasters strike. Give us a call today at (781) 395-4444.
