We Are Available 24/7 To Restore Your Oceanside Business After A Water Damage Disaster

If your property suffers a water damage incident, call our experts for swift action at (516) 536-1801.
Steps for Faster Restoration of Water Damage in Your Oceanside Business
Water spills in business might not often happen since there is minimal interaction with water during daily activities. However, the outcome can be severe if it does happen because a wide range of materials can be damaged, including documents, electronic equipment, and building materials such as carpets. You can deal with water damage better if you involve a professional restorer.
After an incident of water damage in your Oceanside business, the level of destruction can vary greatly depending on the amount of water spilled, the period that passes before mitigation steps start, and the types of materials in your office. If you have carpets or wood on most floors, you need to extract water fast before serious issues such as delaminating or buckling develop. Our SERVPRO technicians can arrive within a few hours and use different equipment to remove water fast. In our inventory, we have:
- Electrical Submersible Pumps
- Self-propelled Extractors
- Water Claws
- Light Wands
- High-Pressure Pumps
Extracting pools of standing water damage is just half the task. Other steps are essential to help save items and restore normal operations. Water splashing on documents or high humidity levels occasioned by evaporation can cause the ink to run and other issues. While reversing such effects is impossible, our SERVPRO technicians can help prevent severe deterioration by freezing the wet documents. We also use specialized techniques such as drying through sublimation in which ice changes directly to a gas, thus preventing damages as we dry the affected documents.
Drying all affected areas is also essential because moisture and high humidity levels in the air can cause long-term problems. Drying mainly involves air movements and heat. Our SERVPRO technicians place air movers strategically within your premises for optimal air movement. We also use dehumidifiers, which extract moisture from the air. We also check external factors such as the building envelope, which is the material separating the exterior's interior. A tight envelope means conditions outside the building do not affect the drying process.
Resuming normal operations faster after water damage in your business is essential. Call SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

If mold is left unchecked, it can spread very quickly. Contact our IICRC certified mold damage remediation team for an assessment today.
SERVPRO Handles All Underlying Issues during Mold Removal from Oceanside Business Premises
Unseen problems such as a hidden roof leak allow water to penetrate the ceiling space soaking various materials like insulation, wooden trusses, and other structural supports. Unless the intrusion is significant enough, the water can remain in the void for days before discovery. Since black mold starts developing in as little as 48 hours, mold remediation and other services are necessary to restore the business premises.
Under such circumstances, the mold remediation process in your Oceanside business premises presents additional challenges such as removing deteriorated materials, protecting the contents in your work areas, and dealing with the mold. SERVPRO deals with various mold-related issues during our regular cleaning assignments, including:
- Mold Removal
- Attic Mold Removal
- Black Mold Damage Repairs
Our SERVPRO technicians incorporate the protection of your valuables into the removal process. For instance, we have plastic sheets to cover items in working areas before tearing down the ceiling to remove wet and moldy materials. When cleaning the moldy residues, we avoid approaches that can spread them further. We clean surfaces from top to bottom or in the direction of negative airflow machines eliminating settled spores. Using antimicrobial products helps kill spores.
SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside can help save your business by performing exceptional mold remediation. Call us at (516) 536-1801.

One of the Top Water Restoration Companies in Oceanside, One of the Top Towns in America
12/7/2020 (Permalink)
When you see our Green Fleet around town, you can be assured that SERVPRO is on the job!
Oceanside Influence Extends Far Past Long Island
One might not expect the relatively small Oceanside community to have broad, sweeping impacts on American culture. However, our town defies those expectations, with multiple notable people and places that have changed the world. These examples are two of the most unique and well-known ways that our community has spread its influence, but with a bit of digging, you may find that many more such examples exist.
The Story of Nathan's in Oceanside
Today, Oceanside is just one of many communities across New York to host a Nathan's restaurant. The distinctive taste and history of the place are attractive to people of all ages and backgrounds. Unlike most other establishments, ours is full of history and was a crucial step in Nathan's rise to global acclaim.
To understand why our town played such a crucial part in the rise of a legend, we have to look back to the very beginnings, over a century ago. Nathan's Famous in Coney Island was a popular spot from the very beginning. To the dismay of many, owner Nathan Handwerker always refused to spread his business to other areas. As a result, imitators popped up everywhere they could, to varying degrees of success.
One of the most famous and beloved hot dog stands sprang up in Oceanside, in the form of the Roadside Rest. Drivers heading either way along Long Beach Road (which has always been a popular and essential thoroughfare) would stop in for a quick meal at the stand. In the early days, it was little more than a shack with a grill. Over time, it developed a reputation for hosting popular music shows and serving up hot dogs of consistently superb quality.
A few decades later, various factors led to the downfall and sale of this local eatery. But, to the great surprise of many, Nathan's son Murray was the buyer, turning the establishment into his project. Within a few years, his father bought the store from him, marking the first time a Nathan's establishment opened up outside Coney Island.
The effect on the community was profound. Commercial establishments flourished near the top-rated franchise, and with their success came the rapid growth of our community. This restaurant's opening marked a turning point not just for Oceanside, but for Nathan's, too – when the family ownership saw the success and popularity of their new store, they knew they had to bring Nathan's Famous to the world.
Another Oceanside Native Changed the World
While it may seem impressive that little Oceanside helped produce one of the world's most well-known restaurant chains, one native of our town grew up to even grander achievements. Those who attended Oceanside high school in the late 60s might remember a certain Robert "Bob" Iger – the same Bob Iger who has served as CEO of Disney for 15 years.
Iger was known as an intelligent kid who loved to read. His father was one of the many thousands of World War Two veterans who settled in Oceanside after being discharged from service. Thus, the early life of one of America's most influential media tycoons began in the same ordinary, comfortable setting that any local knows and loves.
After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in Television and Radio, Iger got what could only be described as a "dead-end job" working for a local ABC News branch. With an unimpressive wage for a college graduate, his primary duties involved hauling camera and lighting equipment around to prepare sets for filming and broadcasting. However, having been raised by excellent parents and in a sought after schooling environment, Iger soon proved his worth and moved his way into management and administrative positions within the network. By 1989, just fifteen years after being hired in his original entry-level position, Iger was made the chief executive of ABC Entertainment. A few years later, he became the president of the whole network.
While these accomplishments already cemented him as one of Oceanside's most successful natives, his most influential days were yet to come. Under Iger, Disney would grow to include Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilms, and many other cultural icons. It is mainly due to his guidance and direction that American film culture has taken on many of the characteristics we see today.
Even after accomplishing so much, Iger never forgot his roots. While he owns many houses in many places, he still chose to host his wedding just a short drive away from home, in Bridgehampton. With that in mind, it may be safe to say that Disney itself now carries a dash of Long Island influence.
One of the Most Trusted Water Restoration Companies in Oceanside
Whether due to storms, busted pipes, or even an overflowing bathtub, Oceanside residents have many potential threats of water damage to their homes. As a company owned and run by locals, with many of our staff native to the area, SERVPRO takes seriously the mission to protect the community from disasters, large and small.
Small water damages may often escape your notice, or you may consider them too benign to call in help. However, we take these situations seriously, and you should, too. Ignoring a small leak or spill can lead to long-term damages that may end up costing far more to repair later, as opposed to a quick call at the time of the event to a professional damage mitigation company like SERVPRO. We scale our response to the situation's size – many of our projects involve one or two technicians and only a few hours of work.
However, not all water damage can be so benign. Catastrophic flooding can happen due to hurricanes, failing plumbing systems, or even something as simple as leaving a window open during a rainstorm. No matter the cause, we can help. In times of extreme crisis, we can call for backup from other franchises around the region to ensure that we have the workforce and equipment to tackle even the worst situations.
SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside has for years served as one of the most trusted and respected water restoration companies in the Oceanside area. Call our 24/7 emergency line at (516) 536-1801.

If you want to keep your salon clean and healthy, it is essential to call a Long Beach mold removal company as soon as you suspect a problem. There are many signs of potential mold problems. The state of your wallpaper is one such sign.
What can wallpaper or wall murals tell me about mold?
Mold is a fungus that grows wherever it finds moisture and a food source. Drywall, plaster, and wallpaper are all viable food sources. Mold on or behind your wallpaper might cause:
- Deep green, black, pinkish or even white fuzzy mold growth on the surface
- Paper peeling away from the wall
- Damp stains on the paper

What should I do if I need mold removal?

- Test for moisture (mold loves moisture) using moisture meters and probes
- Set up containment so mold spores cannot travel throughout your salon

- Dry the area to discourage further mold growth
- Deodorize afterward to ensure your salon smells fresh
What if the wallpaper cannot be salvaged?

How Do I Find Oceanside Commercial Restoration Companies?
8/14/2020 (Permalink)
SERVPRO has all your Oceanside commercial needs covered.
SERVPRO knows when your Oceanside commercial property needs cleanup and repair, it needs it now and their techs are available 24 hours for around the clock attention
It can be frustrating to view your Oceanside commercial property post-fire or after a water damage event from storms or plumbing problems. Even more overwhelming is handling the cleanup and repairs. In all of these situations, mainly if mold is part of the equation, to outsource the cleaning and remediation of the damage to a professional restoration services firm. Finding a local company can start on the Internet, asking friends and employees who they have used in the past and talking to your insurance agent. SERVPRO has a handy, free app that business owners can use to notate the location of access points, where the water main and electrical panel are located as well as who to notify in case of an on-property disaster.
Can the Use of Commercial Restoration Companies Save Money?
In many cases local Oceanside restoration companies are a smart move, SERVPRO technicians save commercial property owners the cost of replacement through their fast action and advanced techniques for cleaning all types of damage. There are numerous benefits to outsourcing the cleanup of your building and contents:
- Time to handle on-going operations of your business such as marketing and getting the word out your structure has gotten closed for restoration
- Peace of mind that all the water, mold or fire damage will get addressed
- Your property gets returned to a sanitary standard even if the problem was a large-scale sewage backup
- Removal of foul odors
Water Detection Equipment
Finding all areas of water migration within a structure is impossible to do solely through visual efforts. SERVPRO techs bring equipment that can allow the techs to look under floors and behind walls to determine all areas of water collection. This initial scoping action ensures the complete area that needs extraction and drying gets identified and handled. Specific devices get used on different surfaces, and some are for measuring interior humidity levels to assist in setting drying goals such as:
Professional Water Removal Equipment Makes a Difference in the Outcome
SERVPRO techs bring several types of powerful extraction equipment to every job site in their green service vans. The portable pumps are one of the most familiar kinds of devices seen by most people. These units are easy to maneuver and have the ability to change wand heads to a squeegee or weighted for use on tile and carpet.
Controlled Demolition Tactics Can Save Portions of a Structure
SERVPRO team members commit to saving property owners as much time and money during the mitigation of fire, water, or mold damage. This can happen as articles from within the commercial property get cleaned for reuse to specific controlled demo actions such as the removal of a portion of sheetrock that wicked water, but the entire wall did not need to come down. The removal of the baseboards so the extraction and drying equipment can dry around the floor joints, while the baseboards get dried in another area for re-installation.
Insulation Cleaning and Re-Installation
Another way to save money is through the restoration and reuse of fiberglass insulation. If the insulation has water damage, but it is not from contaminated water and mold is not present, SERVPRO techs can collect it in a specially fitted vacuum bag for cleaning through their proprietary methods.
Fire Damage Should Get Outsourced to Professionals Every Time
Soot is an irritant and can affect different people in different ways. Water is often present and compounds the problem within the structure. SERVPRO techs know how to contain the soot while they get rid of the water, charred items, and eliminate the smoke damage and odors.
Final Touches as Needed Once the technicians complete the restoration services, the crew chief takes the property owner through the job site and goes over the actions taken by SERVPRO. This review goes over areas and items cleaned, disposed of, and the needed repairs to bring the building back to its original condition before the damage happened.
If the technicians needed to perform any temporary repairs such as tarping a roof or boarding up any part of the facility, the property owner gets informed of any rebuilding or fixes needed.
SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 serves the community as one of the top choices among commercial restoration companies. The trained and certified technicians can handle any type of cleanup needed and leave the property, "Like it never even happened."

Be Prepared for Flooding or Fire Damaging Events to Your Oceanside Business--Inquire About SERVPRO'S ERP PLAN
Nothing Prevents a Discussion with the SERVPRO Team Long Before Flood Damage Threatens Your Oceanside Business -- Call Us Now!
Oceanside business owners are busy with a myriad of issues daily. The urgent consistently pushes back at the necessary, and you might find yourself in a situation when you are knee-deep in a flooding crisis, you could have averted or minimized with some planning. Even when the source of the floodwaters is a natural catastrophe, there are still steps you can take to ready yourself, your staff, and your building for the onslaught. Because you want to keep your business up and running, even as we work to bring your building back to preloss condition, it is vital that we begin our partnership as soon as possible.
How Can I Forge a Partnership with a Restoration Company?
Oceanside flood damage is not exactly unexpected because of our community's proximity to the ocean and severe weather patterns that periodically hit our city. The timing of any flood devastation is, of course, up in the air, but predicting the types of harm that might befall your business is far easier for a disaster restorer to assess. Working with an experienced and reputable flood damage contractor ahead of time permits seasoned experts to inspect your business's physical workspace and learn a bit about your operations. This data helps create a plan that can ensure fast implementation and completion if the worst does happen.
Tell Me More -- Is the Plan "One Size Fits All" or Can We Individualize It?
SERVPRO offers potential restoration customers the chance to collaborate on an Emergency READY Profile and Plan (ERP). We urge our commercial customers to consider taking the first step and call for a no-obligation assessment. The preparation will give you peace of mind and our crews essential information on how to anticipate your needs during a flooding event and the best ways to meet them.
What Happens During the ERP Assessment? What Should I Do to Prepare?
One of our experienced project managers drops by your site armed with a mobile device capable of taking clear photographs of your interior and exterior spaces. We walk through your facility, noting utility shut-offs and equipment placement, plumbing, gas, and other utility lines. We review storage and inventory areas and offices, restrooms, meeting rooms, and break rooms. If you have available a blueprint that displays a current and accurate description of your space and the functions of each subspace, please share it with us. Be prepared to explain the daily, nightly, and overnight routine in your business, so we have a firm understanding of what happens at different times in your commercial building.
What Happens After the Walk Through?
During our review of your space, we are looking for potential disaster "hot spots," and thinking of ways you can alter your use of problematic areas to avoid damage and improve outcomes. We reach out with practical tips that could minimize the impact of a flooding event on your business. Examples include:
- Use of protective storage bins for porous materials
- Moving of vulnerable materials, including business documents, to upper stories of your building or off-site
- Revising storage placement and methods of inventory
- Cleanup of areas near utility shut-offs and spaces where overland flooding is likely to breach the walls of your property
- Repair and maintenances of roofing and gutter and downspout configurations
- Placing equipment and furnishings on blocks above projected flood levels
- Installation or maintenance of a sump pump system
Can I Add Details to the ERP?
Use our mobile app to fill in details such as:
- Establishing our firm as your disaster mitigation and restoration provider
- Laying out a line of command for work authorization, including designating other to act on your behalf if you are unavailable for any reason
- Sharing priority contact information, including the vendors and contractors who designed your space and systems
Once you complete your additions, the ERP is available to our management and crews as a concise digital document with critical space-specific information and advance solutions. The whole file permits you and SERVPRO to be "Ready for whatever happens."
A pre-disaster conversation with SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside can go a long way toward making flood damage recovery a more straightforward process. Contact us at (516) 536-1801 to see how we can streamline our joint response to any potential disaster.
How Can We Continue Serving Customers in Oceanside As We Restore Water Damage?
6/27/2020 (Permalink)
Water damage and casinos are a bad mix. Make sure to contact SERVPRO if your casino is facing such a situation.
SERVPRO Can Help Perform Water Damage Restoration at Your Oceanside Casino with Minimal Inconvenience to Your Customers
Since people visit casinos to hang out or for their regular fix of the gaming thrill, closure of your facility can leave many disappointed. Water intrusions might lead to short-term closure or leave damages that ruin the reputation of your Oceanside Casino if not appropriately managed.
What solutions minimize inconveniences for business operations?
The effort put into commercial water damage restoration in Oceanside properties depends on the loss extent. For mild water spills, extraction, and drying of wet areas, is all it takes. For extreme losses, elaborate procedures, including demolition of parts of the property, might be necessary. For a business to remain operational, a couple of steps can help:
- Setting up containments to limit the spread of damages
- Placement of safety signs on risky areas including slick surfaces
- Expediting the restoration process
Moisture migration or soiling of unaffected areas by people as they move around can amplify the loss unnecessarily, so it is crucial to strike a balance between locking people out and allowing full access. Some restoration processes, such as cleaning, can also damage items like gaming tables. Physical barriers, especially the 6-mil plastic sheets our SERVPRO technicians use to contain the wet areas help limit the spread of materials or accidental damage to contents during restoration.
What challenges can impede restoration?
Security concerns in some sections of the casino, such as the gaming rooms, can impede the restoration of water damage without closing down because of the need to monitor players constantly. Solutions such as setting up barriers to allow partial access cannot work. However, our SERVPRO technicians can expedite cleaning and drying to finish restoration faster. We accomplish that by using sophisticated equipment such as:
- Truck-mounted water extractors
- Desiccant dehumidifiers for drying
- Self-propelled deep water extractors for carpeted areas
Restoration of water damage should balance between immediate and future needs. Call SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 to help resolve an incident at your facility.

Essential Skills that Help Resolve Commercial Mold Damage Cases in Affected Oceanside Hotels
3/20/2020 (Permalink)
We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.
We have the skills to assist your Oceanside hotels with mold damage
Mold development might not stop operations in your workplace immediately, as other incidents would. However, mold is associated with health problems and can even lead to lawsuits from employees or clients who patronize your establishment. A hotel with patches of mold on surfaces such as ceilings, walls, or under sinks might not indicate the most sanitary conditions, thus driving clients away. Taking steps to deal with commercial mold damage immediately you suspect or notice signs, is therefore essential.
Complete remediation of commercial mold damage cases affecting Oceanside hotels requires a combination of activities, which need a variety of skills. Our SERVPRO crews are made up of several technicians with different qualifications such as:
• Applied Structural Drying Technicians
• Applied Microbial Remediation Specialists
• Upholstery and Fabric Cleaning Technicians
• Odor Control Technicians
Dealing with mold in a hotel requires a proper understanding of the moisture sources that fuel growth. Apart from traditional sources such as leaks, moisture can originate from facilities such as pools, saunas, or gyms within the hotel. Isolating areas affected by mold from the rest of the facility is also an essential part of the restoration process. Our SERVPRO technicians can use moisture detection equipment such as thermohygrometers to check humidity levels in various sections of the hotel, thus identifying likely sources of moisture.
Removing mold colonies and debris is a crucial part of the restoration process. With several rooms and probably more than one floor, a hotel has several hidden areas where mold can develop unabated. Our SERVPRO crews perform controlled demolition to reach into such cavities. Before opening up the walls, we set up containment using plastic sheets and run a negative air machine during the actual demolition to prevent debris from spreading. We remove all porous materials heavily infested with mold and clean the rest to remove settled spores and other debris. Ventilating and dehumidifying the property helps finalize the remediation process.
Guests would not want to spend time in a moldy Westwood, Century City, or Westwood Village hotel. Call SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 to restore your hotel to its preloss state. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Commercial Water Cleanup In Your Oceanside Property

We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!
Commercial Water Cleanup In Oceanside Can Involve Cleaning Spots and Stains
One day you could arrive to work at your office in Oceanside and notice that there is an excessive amount of H20 on your carpets. The first step to commercial water cleanup is to extract as much moisture as possible while it is still in liquid form. Next, any professional restoration company such as SERVPRO can set up drying equipment to remove moisture from your wet contents and building materials.
The last step to any commercial water cleanup project in Oceanside is to conduct a final cleaning of the negatively affected areas in your office. Whenever carpets get wet, it is likely that staining will occur. Sometimes the staining gets created by the H20 itself if it is dirty. Other times moisture can cause your carpets to stain with things like rust, or it can move soils from other areas onto your carpet.
Whenever we work towards cleaning stained carpets inside your office, our SERVPRO technicians clean the spots on your flooring before cleaning all of the carpets. We clean spots first because sometimes the cleaning process will discolor the cleaned areas and the regions of the carpet that were stained will look different than the rest of the carpet. General cleaning of all of the carpets, along with a rinse, usually removes this type of discoloration.
When cleaning stains and spots, the first step is to remove any excess soils. Sometimes the stains can be removed completely by acting fast and removing the soils by scraping, blotting, or vacuuming. To start, we use a mild detergent called carpet and upholstery cleaner and plain H2O to remove water-based soils. If there are oil-based soils present, then we can utilize a volatile dry solvent such as Solvent Spotter.
If all of the staining does not come out during the first attempt at cleaning the spot, then we next determine the type of soil that is causing the stain. Next, we figure out the type of fabric that makes up your carpet. Once we know the type of materials we are working with, and we determine what kind of soil is causing the staining, we can then figure out the best method to clean the stain. Most stains get removed by treating the soiled spot with a chemical agent and agitating it with a scrubber before the carpets get steam cleaned.
If you ever arrive at work and step into a puddle inside your office, it is wise to call SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 24/7. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Does Your Long Beach Commercial Space Struggle With Water Damage?
11/15/2019 (Permalink)
Make sure to call SERVPRO right away when water damage occurs in your commercial kitchen.
Addressing Commercial Water Damage in a Long Beach Restaurant
In the US alone, water damage is the second most common category of commercial insurance claim filed. Whether the source is a loose seal, faulty roofing, or a cracked pipe, water damage to your facilities can be costly to repair without proper mitigation. For restaurants, this can pose additional challenges. If a leak affects your food storage, for example, this can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to replace supplies after cleaning out your inventory space.
If you have an eatery that has suffered water damage in Long Beach, you have options. An IICRC-certified SERVPRO firm can send technicians to your business within hours of your call to return your facilities to a preloss condition. These professionals specialize in everything from disinfecting with OSHA-approved cleaners to odor control, so you can get a deep clean that is done to code.
Protecting Your Assets from Water Damage
Here are some tips for protecting your inventory from water damage:
- Draw up a comprehensive inventory and take note of items in potentially risky areas.
- Keep vulnerable items at least two to three feet above the floor and away from sinks, pipes, dishwashers, and other water sources.
- Keep a backup storage plan for emergencies. Partner with a sister restaurant if possible so you can store perishables and other goods in a safe refrigerated space.
- Fill staff members in on the plan, so they know what is expected of them when water damage occurs. Roles can include protecting food items during the shift or moving supplies to an emergency storage location.
- Keep a list of emergency procedures and contacts. If you are not on-site when a disaster occurs, make sure team members know whom to contact to repair damages.

Independent Oceanside Retailers can rely on SERVPRO for Commercial Water Damage Restoration
Independent retailers in Oceanside rely on the bustling tourist trade to survive throughout the year. However, the rainy season can often bring storms and flash flooding to the area causing unfortunate damage to the district's commercial businesses. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage stock like clothing or beachwear and even high ticket items like surfboards, wetsuits, or snorkeling equipment. Stored items can warp, become infested by mold, or suffer other secondary damages if water reaches the stockroom.
Often, a commercial water damage issue in Oceanside can occur after an initial flood or rainwater problem has been cleared away. Water migrates from wet to dry and can seep between floorboards or into the wall cavities of your retail store. Over time, these issues can become increasingly severe, causing unpleasant wet odors as well as bacterial damages on both the businesses structure and its stock supplies. We offer a premium service for thoroughly cleaning and drying your structure and contents to ensure you do not lose valuable stock.
SERVPRO commercial teams are stationed locally in Oceanside and the surrounding area. We offer quick to call out times as well as expertise in the proper drying of a structure from start to finish. Applying chemical agents like biocides, sanitizers, and disinfectants during the restoration procedure can be a vital barrier against long-term issues. SERVPRO technicians begin by using detection equipment to find all areas of concern in the property to ensure our process is thorough.
On arrival, SERVPRO can begin removal work by taking stock away from the affected area and storing it in a designated cleanroom or off-site. Our technicians are capable of speeding up evaporation times using a combination of dehumidification and air-moving equipment.Throughout the procedure, our technicians can measure the effectiveness and outcomes of the work being done to ensure your commercial property is given the care it needs. Structural cavity drying equipment can be brought onside while inspections of your heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) are carried out as standard. Stock can be dried- and where necessary mechanically cleaned- before being returned to the store, "Like it never even happened."
Keep service closure to a minimum by bringing in professional restorers for business damages, contact SERVPRO of Long Beach / Oceanside at (516) 536-1801 for help.
