Needed Water Damage Repairs for the Office

Leaks and flooding in an office building can rapidly overwhelm much of its construction materials. As such, restoration features repairs and build-back services to get you back up and running again.

Where Has the Water Damaged the Building? 

Assessing the need for water damage repair in your Little Rock office building can be the first step in restoration and recovery. Damages range substantially from one material to another, so repairs and reconstruction often go hand-in-hand with efficient restoration solutions. Common concerns include:

• Flooring

Glue-down carpeting is common in office buildings, and these materials are very rapidly overcome by water damage. Their thin composition absorbs as much water as possible, and without the ability to saturate the concrete subflooring, these materials support pooling and standing water threats. Carpeting is often removed and replaced to make the restoration process efficient.

• Walls

While the framing of wall systems in commercial structures like your office building might be less susceptible to water damage, the drywall covering the outsides of these constructions is highly porous. Panels exposed to water damage are often removed and replaced as drying completes.

• Ceilings 

With many office buildings fitted with ceiling tiles, water damage can quickly show on these fragile and sensitive installations. Drop ceilings cannot withstand the weight of saturated tiles, so these individual components begin to drop or break apart. Our professionals remove all exposed ceiling tiles for efficient drying and replace these discarded elements with new pieces.

Post-water damage cleanup and repairs can encompass many needs for your office building. As challenging as this can be to keep production up during the recovery, our professionals have effective mitigation strategies beginning with water damage repair. Call SERVPRO of Little Rock at (501) 803-9700.
