How SERVPRO can help you remove water from your business

Like many other cities and towns in Florida, Cocoa Beach relies on local and tourist patronage. Keeping the doors open for every viable hour is essential to pay the business' power bill, provide employees' paychecks, and keep the local economy moving. 

This is impossible when water is in a Cocoa Beach restaurant's foyer, dining area, bathrooms, or kitchen. Commercial water removal must be done immediately to serve customers and prevent secondary damage. SERVPRO keeps a trained restoration team on-call to meet every need. 

If our team receives pictures and video of the flooding, they can bring in the right equipment to get started minutes after arriving on site. The first task is to remove any standing water. As one of our inspectors looks for the water source and turns it off, others set up a commercial grade pump and begin the removal process. Technicians direct the water into the nearest sewer drain. 

After removing the bulk of the water, team members utilize extraction wands. These smaller devices draw water off wood and concrete floors and pull it out of carpets. The wands have a built-in heating element, so SERVPRO technicians can carefully begin drying carpets and wood floors simultaneously. 

Depending on the size of the restaurant, our team has two options. Members can use portable wands with a battery pack or plug into the wall for smaller cafes or, for large, buffet-style restaurants, utilize wands that pump the water directly to a holding tank mounted on a truck outside the structure. 

Once they finish with the wands, technicians install fans and air movers to draw out the damp air inside and replace it with warm air to speed up the drying process. As the fans and air movers work, team members use long-handled squeegees to push any remaining spots or pools of water out of corners and out from under appliances and furniture. 

Our goal at SERVPRO of Central Brevard is to support our fellow business owners and help them reopen to customers as soon as we can safely do so. If you need our services, call us today at (321) 638-4947 to schedule a visit.
