Water damage in Clearwater commercial properties can manifest in several problematic ways, including:

  • Short circuits and electrical hazards due to water contact with electronic devices.

SERVPRO Can Assist with Commercial Water Mitigation in your Clearwater Business

Most owners of retail businesses know that appearance is critical to whether someone will want to purchase an item or not. The atmosphere for shoppers must be clean and welcoming for customers. If your business ever suffers from a water leak, steps must be taken before people walk into your store to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for your patrons. For example, if your furniture store's carpets get wet, customers will not want to shop inside your business if they step in puddles or smell musty aromas.

When our SERVPRO technicians conduct commercial water damage restoration in your Clearwater retail business, we know that cleanliness is vital. When working on commercial buildings, we always pay attention to every detail and ensure that the atmosphere inside your furniture shop is conducive to conducting business before we leave. Our goal during every project is to restore your structure to its preloss state "Like it never even happened."

For example, if your carpets get wet from a water leak, we can use a heavy-duty, truck-mounted extractor to pull moisture from your flooring materials. We can use a weighted extraction tool for thick carpets that uses the operator's body weight to squeeze the fibers to pull out the most H2O possible. We can then place an air mover under your carpeting to "float" your carpeting and dry out the floors underneath them. We can also set up dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air and speed up the natural drying process.

Steps we can take before we leave the project:

  • Test and make sure moisture levels of contents and building materials have returned to normal
  • Do a walk-thru with the building's owner to make sure we didn't miss anything
  • a thorough final cleaning
  • Conduct restorative carpet cleaning

If you ever have a water supply line leak inside your furniture store, call SERVPRO of Clearwater South / Clearwater Beach at (727) 614-0099.

Our technicians help you sift through the damage and aid in restoring your premises because we have the necessary training, equipment, and experience.

Common surfaces that may require cleaning include;

  • Floors
  • Office furniture
  • Wallpaper
  • Ceiling fixtures

Smoke odor and soot removal

Every trace of the contaminants responsible for smoke odors ought to be cleaned and underlying surfaces deodorized. Our restoration crews move quickly to remove the debris from the premises. This involves taking out materials such as charred furnishings, rugs, and ceiling tiles, eliminating all burned remnants from the property. SERVPRO then uses high-powered equipment such as air scrubbers to clear the air of particulate matter and aerosols, thus defeating odors. Even though debris removal reduces the intensity of odors, it does not eliminate them.

Thick layers of soot may cover a good portion of your premises, depending on the size of the fire. Also, depending on the material burned, the chemical composition of soot varies and can further damage other materials through staining and discoloration. SERVPRO crews use industrial vacuums to remove layers of powdery soot after fires.

Other effective methods of dealing with smoke odor

  • Fogging with Ultra-low volume misters
  • Injecting deodorizers with the Vaportek unit
  • Thermal fogging
  • Photocatalytic oxidation

Necessary Precautions during Water Cleanup in Clearwater Beach

SERVPRO Closely Monitors Water Restoration in Clearwater

Water leaks significantly impact businesses, so taking immediate action is essential when your Clearwater facility is affected. However, if your effort is haphazard, you might worsen the problems or create new ones. Professional assistance can help ensure water cleanup achieves the intended goals.

Proper planning before starting water cleanup processes for Clearwater Beach businesses premises helps ensure better control of the factors that might create problems later on. Extensive deterioration of materials from moisture exposure and personal injuries are some of the undesirable outcomes that you can prevent. SERVPRO also seeks to fulfill other goals, such as limiting restoration costs.

Crucial factors to control

  • Hazardous incidents 
  • Humidity 
  • Microbial growth

Various hazards can develop when water accumulates on a property or during cleaning. The main risk is slick surfaces because of the wetness and cleaning products. Another problem is the cables and hoses connected to the water extractors, dehumidifiers, and other restoration equipment. Our SERVPRO technicians set up warning signs and group the wires and hoses using zip ties, thus limiting slip and trip hazards.

The Dangers of Humidity

While your focus during cleanup may be on the wet materials, there is another aspect of moisture that you should pay attention to; otherwise, it can lead to problems. The humidity that escapes into the air though invisible can be problematic. One problem from humidity is condensation which can transfer wetness from the affected sections of the house to other unaffected areas. Humid air also slows down the drying processes necessary for finishing the cleanup, creating room for unfettered microbial growth and mold development.

Actions necessary for managing humidity

  • Boosting air circulation with air movers  
  • Controlling humidity using dehumidifiers
  • Temperature control with portable heaters

SERVPRO of Clearwater South / Clearwater Beach has sufficient resources to manage water cleanup allowing your business to resume operations. You can reach us at (727) 614-0099. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Keeping Businesses Open by Eliminating Fire Damage

We want to help you keep your store’s doors open in Clearwater. By doing fire damage remediation in Clearwater, we can accomplish that for you.

Your customers want a pleasant shopping experience. We work diligently to make this a reality again. Our crews use different methods to make it “Like it never even happened.” You might find us using any of the following:

  • Soot-absorbing erasers on walls and other flat surfaces,
  • Air scrubbers and hydroxyl generating machines, and
  • Thermal fogging machines.

Team members also spend time working on upper sections of walls near the corners to prevent soot tags (which resemble spider webs) from forming in the future. These tags commonly appear with fire damage and are not caused by spiders.

When working, we use all applicable protection measures. This includes both those designed for personal wear, such as our use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other general measures. This might include plastic sheeting around areas where soot might exist to prevent its spread to now-clean areas.

Whenever time constraints require specific activity, please inform us so we do not interfere in your daily operations.

A kitchen fire in your hotel may cause significant fire and smoke damage, and quick action is required to avoid further destruction. Skilled fire damage restorers lower the risk of lasting degradation of wood, drywall, and carpeting, among other materials. It is necessary to recruit the help of a reputable restoration company, such as SERVPRO, which has extensive experience in fire repair.

SERVPRO restorers are trained and certified to offer commercial fire damage restoration services in Clearwater. Our professional restorers respond as rapidly as possible to our customers’ emergency calls to evaluate the extent of the damage. 

Our team of technicians can:

  • Board up any openings, including doors and windows. 
  • Perform Smoke and soot cleanup. 
  • Perform water damage restoration.
  • Perform odor removal.

Even seemingly undamaged interior walls and ductwork can be contaminated by smoke and soot. Cooking appliances and equipment in your hotel including, stereos, and laptops, among other electronic devices, can be damaged. Smoke and soot are acidic. They can corrode metals and stain any porous surface if not extracted immediately using specialized cleaning chemicals and techniques. Our SERVPRO restorers can use a natural fabric brightener along with shampoo super concentrate to remove oxidized stains from wool carpets or cotton surfaces.

It is important to get rid of fire odors as soon as possible because odor-causing substances can permeate so profoundly that they are impossible to eliminate. Incorrect techniques can exacerbate the problem. In addition to cleaning buildings with our odor-blasting equipment, our SERVPRO technicians can use air scrubbers to remove gases, airborne particles, and odors from the air. These devices pull out dirty indoor air through a series of filters, capturing gases, odors and particles. They then exhaust clean air back into the environment. HEPA filters can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns in size. The activated potassium permanganate and carbon filters eliminate many odors and gases by attracting odor molecules to the filter through adsorption.

SERVPRO Technicians are Available 24/7 for Commercial Water Restoration in Clearwater beach

Water damage in a Clearwater Beach commercial property can be far worse than a residential structure because the building may be closed for a weekend or a holiday, and the damage can compound over days. 

Ultimately, no business owner wants to close during commercial water cleanup in a Clearwater Beach structure. This is particularly true in cases with sagging ceilings from leaky pipes or water damage seeping down from a floor above. Sheetrock exposed to excessive moisture deteriorates rapidly, and ceilings and walls can fall. For that reason, it is best to close the business during the mitigation to ensure that there are no injuries to employees or the public. 

SERVPRO technicians have extensive training for handling water damage restoration services and identifying and securing potential hazards caused by the issue. The techs have not only ongoing training for the latest techniques in the restoration industry but also advanced equipment, which gives them the ability to: 

  • Perform controlled demo as needed
  • Water removal of any scale
  • Cleaning and drying of contents
  • Storage of important equipment or documents 

Reopening after a water damage incident often requires repairs. This SERVPRO location holds a general contractor license # CBC-1250662. The technicians can handle anything needed to bring the commercial property back to its normal state, including reconstruction as required, right down to the cosmetic touches such as painting walls. Also, the techs hand-clean surfaces to ensure both employees and public foot traffic enter a clean environment. 


SERVPRO of Clearwater South / Clearwater Beach at (727) 614-0099 supports the Clearwater Beach area with large and small commercial water cleanup as needed. The certified, trained technicians are available 24/7.

SERVPRO Offers All Essential Services Apart From Cleaning and Drying Properties After Water Spills

When you realize that your business facility needs water removal, it can mean other things apart from extracting pooling water or drying wet materials. The extra tasks may be difficult to complete, which is why seeking professional assistance is necessary. 

The type of actions needed during water removal from your Clearwater property may depend on the level of water spilled, the duration elapsed since the intrusion, or even the materials you have in the affected areas. Moisture affects many materials, including organic ones such as wood as well as inorganic ones like metal.

The common processes that facilitate comprehensive water removal include:

  • Removal of unsalvageable floor materials
  • Removal of porous wall materials
  • Drying structural materials and contents
  • Extraction of any water remnants

Materials might end up unsalvageable because of extended exposure to moisture leading to physical deterioration or contamination. Typical unsalvageable materials include carpet padding and insulation. Since the two materials are hidden beneath carpets and wall panels, respectively, removal requires the right skills and equipment. SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians can handle such delicate tasks.

The amount of water left on your property may be more than you expect. For instance, if you have carpeted rooms, the water trapped on the floor surfaces is high even when there are no visible pools. Another challenge of removing such water is that simple extraction is not likely to be effective. SERVPRO has the right extractors with the appropriate vacuum lift capacity to handle such extraction. We also have weighted equipment to help squeeze out the water.

With the assistance from SERVPRO of Clearwater South / Clearwater Beach, businesses can resolve any water removal issue. Call us at (727) 614-0099. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

SERVPRO Operates in Clearwater Beach and Can Provide Expert Water Damage Restoration Assistance

Ocean side businesses can be susceptible to water intrusion as a result of heavy rainfall and rising tides. A water emergency can scale anywhere from leaks or drips to flooding of lower levels, damaging stock, furniture and impacting business revenue. Our professional restoration technicians can recover your business quickly by implementing:

  • Water removal services
  • Water damage repairs
  • Cleaning up after sewer backup

The process of commercial water damage restoration for your Clearwater Beach business can be tough to navigate without expertise, equipment, and experience. 

Central to fast drying times is the movement of humid air from one area to another, where dehumidifiers can pick it up. Water restoration technicians (WRT) use centrifugal air-movers to encourage air circulation. Air-movers, unlike traditional fans, produce warm air at high velocity to ensure quicker drying of surfaces. 

  • Air-movers can be daisy-chained to allow multiple units to run from one power source and work in tandem to decrease drying time. 
  • The low profile of industrial air-movers allows warm air circulation to be focused onto wet floors or carpets. 
  • There are several positions for operating an air-mover that can concentrate drying apparatus to particular walls or wet areas in your business. 

If your business is suffering from water intrusion, contact SERVPRO of Clearwater South / Clearwater Beach for water damage restoration at (727) 614-0099. Our business is to keep you in business.

SERVPRO Professionals Have a Scientific Approach to Water Cleanup in Clearwater

Water cleanup from your Clearwater Beach commercial property involves much more than removing the standing water. The IICRC certified SERVPRO professionals use their knowledge of materials science to afford a quick and efficient water damage restoration.   

SERVPRO restorers understand the impact various factors might have on water cleanup from your Clearwater Beach property. We know that any structure, especially a commercial one, is not airtight, meaning it might leak. The conditions outside the building, such as temperature, humidity, and air movement, might significantly impact the water damage remediation process. One of the most critical factors that have a profound impact on the effectiveness of a drying plan is the building's envelope.  

What is an Envelope of a Building and How Can it Affect SERVPRO's Water Damage Repairs of Clearwater Beach Properties?

SERVPRO technicians of Clearwater Beach define the envelope of a building as a structure separating the inside of the building from the outside habitat. It includes roofs, floors, exterior walls, doors, windows, and foundations. According to IICRC S500 guidelines, the building envelope can be of three types:

  • Tight envelope- SERVPRO techs can control the internal drying conditions during water damage restoration without significant influence of the outside environment.
  • Moderate envelope- The internal conditions are influenced somewhat by the prevailing outside conditions.
  • Loose envelope- The internal drying conditions are significantly affected by the outside environment. Such a situation arises if there is any structural damage to the property.
