If you’re a business owner or commercial property owner in Eastern Massachusetts, you know that life can be stressful. There are any number of things that can damage your property: fire, flooding, criminal activity, badly behaved customers or tenants. You can’t afford to have your building or businesses out of commission — in today’s tight economic situation, none of us can afford to lose sales or rents — so it’s essential to get your building or business restored and repaired as quickly as possible.
Commercial Disaster Restoration Services
Whether you’re a restaurateur facing down the aftermath of a kitchen fire; a retailer looking at carpeting, flooring, and inventory ruined by flood waters; or a landlord who needs to get units back in rentable condition as fast as possible, there are disaster restoration services to help.
Water damage can be caused by a flood, leaking or burst pipes, or fire fighters battling the flames. Water damage restoration involves removing all of the water – far faster and more completely than can be managed with the typical shop vac – applying anti-microbial treatment to retard mildew and mold growth, and using a range of methods to dry things out completely.
Fire, soot, and smoke damage in the commercial setting can be significant. It can be overwhelming to look at the charred and blackened interior of your business and even think about how this can all be restored to an appealing state. However, the professionals of ServiceMaster South Shore are experts in understanding the chemical combinations that can effectively clean and salvage belongings. They can even remove soot from at-risk items such as brass, aluminum, chrome, marble, tile, and porcelain as well as fabrics in upholstery and carpets, thus helping to avoid additional expenses. Preserving fixtures, carpeting, upholstered items and other parts of your business spares you the expense of replacing these items at a particularly vulnerable time in your business’ life.
