No matter how vigilant you are about maintenance and repairs, a sudden water loss can harm your building in Jacksonville, FL, and disrupt your business. Some property owners try to clean up the mess themselves, but there are several benefits of hiring professionals for pipe burst cleanup.


Salvage for Damaged Items


A broken pipe does more than just destroy insulation and saturate walls. It can also damage any items in the path of the water:

  • Furniture
  • Electronics
  • Carpet
  • Documents
  • Manufacturing equipment


Certified technicians who specialize in item recovery may be able to salvage things that are damaged in a flood. At the very least, they can help you discern between what needs to be replaced and what can be repaired.


Comprehensive Pipe Burst Cleanup


There are several perks of working with a company that handles both the mitigation and restoration of your building. It streamlines the process, allowing you to get back to business in a shorter period of time. Having one team that does everything improves communication and documentation, too. Finally, it makes the prevention of secondary damage easier, as the final test doesn't have to happen until the whole job is complete.


Disinfection After Sewer Backup


Not all water that floods your building may be clean. If a toilet overflows or the sewer backs up in the pipes after a heavy storm, you must make sure that the affected area is not just dry but sanitized. A sewer cleanup company takes the appropriate measures to disinfect the area and then runs tests to ensure that all bacteria are eradicated.
When you need pipe burst cleanup or sewer remediation, it's best to leave it to the professionals. Certified technicians have the training and experience necessary to take care of all your mitigation and restoration needs and can help you prevent further damage.
