Preventing Large-Scale Basement Water Disasters

Like many types of disaster, prevention is the best possible method for minimizing damages. Fortunately, there are plenty of modern measures business owners can use to address this age-old problem:

• Regular maintenance of plumbing, sump pumps, and appliances is the most effective prevention method.
• Waterproofing with sealants or coatings on walls and floors can mitigate many water concerns, especially in basements.
• Some simple landscaping tips can minimize the presence of water near a commercial building:
  • Ensure grading faces away from the building.
  • Keep large trees and shrubs away from the foundation to prevent damage from root growth.
  • Consider implementing a rain garden in particularly wet areas.

SERVPRO Odor Control for Basement Water Damage

One of the most persistent concerns around moisture is the musty, unpleasant smell it can impart on porous surfaces. This smell often goes hand-in-hand with the presence of microbes. SERVPRO professionals can address both of these concerns by:

• Removing excess water with hot-water extraction units.
• Deploying EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions.
• Drying impacted spaces with air movement and low-grain refrigerant dehumidification.

Odor control, typically with ultra-low volume fogging in cases of large-scale water damage odors, binds odor counteractants with malodor particles to eliminate them.
