SERVPRO will help your school. 

Flooding can have intense effects on a community if it affects a local school. The water can ruin classrooms, create health hazards and impact learning if not addressed quickly. Working with a flood damage restoration company prevents secondary damage to buildings and their contents.

If your Riverview school has commercial flood damage, SERVPRO can provide you with immediate recovery and restoration. We have well trained and experienced water damage restoration specialists and advanced water removal and drying equipment to return school operations to normal. Our crews can use portable or truck-mounted extraction equipment to extract the standing water efficiently.

Floodwater damage goes beyond unwanted water seeping into classrooms and disrupting normal academic activities. Water intrusion can leave a musty smell behind long after the water subsidies. The microbial growth that water spurs causes the musty smells and getting rid of it can be difficult. The smell can distract students can educators holding classes in the affected areas. Our SERVPRO team can use thermal foggers and air scrubbers to eliminate musty smells.

Water can also destroy educational materials like computers, books, and projectors among other materials. It can render such items useless within minutes of submersion. Our technicians can save wet books and documents by preventing further damage. The goal of drying books and documents is drying them to the best condition possible using methods like dehumidification, freezer drying, air drying, vacuum thermal drying, or vacuum freeze-drying. We can also contact a qualified electronics restorer to evaluate electronics exposed to water for restoration purposes.

Heavy water exposure may also make wooden tables and chairs weaker, and they may blister, flake and become brittle. This can diminish their lifespan and pile up unnecessary expenses for local governments and school administrators. Our SERVPRO crews can wipe excess water from the furniture and set up high-speed air movers in the affected areas to speed up the evaporation of moisture from furniture, floors, and walls. We have the expertise dry buildings completely and restore them by performing structural repairs to make the flood damage appear “Like it never even happened.”
