Commercial Property Restoration After Water Damage: What the Ellicott City Flood Taught Us

4/3/2017 (Permalink)

Flooding and water damage in commercial properties is usually complex with seemingly abundant issues. Such obstacles require a knowledgeable and flexible response team. Whether it’s a relatively small water cleanup or a large scale flood, we work quickly to assess each unique situation and handle the mitigation of damage.

That said, no one could have predicted just how severe the damage to Ellicott City would be after the flood in July of last year. SERVPRO is a proud member of the Howard County community and thus we couldn't wait to get on the scene ASAP and do our part. Our team members were mindful with collecting damaged items and starting the restoration process for the business owners on Main Street. One of our biggest projects was working on Discoveries of Ellicott City. We have always known the value of tedious and careful work, but after seeing how much it meant to business owner Sally T., we know just how valuable commercial recovery can be to not only businesses, but the community they belong to. See our Before and After photos for more of our successes on the scene of commercial water damage. 

Keep in mind that our professionals are trained and certified to be mindful of legal and environmental concerns. We strive to fully restore the damaged area while working to make sure a valuable fix doesn’t put a strain on your wallet. In many instances, normal operations can continue in a temporary space while we restore your facility. We understand that every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. So when an emergency situation arises in your business, give us a call and we’ll be there quickly with the help we know you need.
