Rely on SERVPRO to Get Your Business Looking and Smelling Clean after Flood Damage

Flooding can happen so suddenly, giving business owners little time to prepare for the impact. Sandy Springs continues to gain more businesses, both large and small, creating constant construction and building activity in and around the area. This construction often includes new parking lots and the repaving of roads. These and other kinds of construction can mean rainfall drains in new and unexpected ways.

At times, the manner in which precipitation travels through Sandy Springs puts businesses at increased risk of flood damage. With less porous ground available to swallow up the rain because of substantial, impenetrable roadways and lots, the amount of water increases rapidly. When water accumulates in an area, flooding can occur suddenly. Not only does this cause damage from the water itself, but other problems quickly develop. These can remain after flooding recedes and mitigation work ensues.

Part of flood damage mitigation should include odor control. Floodwaters contain organic debris, including parasites, microscopic pathogens, and one-celled microbes. As these decay, they give off odors that can become highly disturbing. Not only must diner and restaurant owners deal with the flooding itself, and the restoration of their business, but the odors can impose an unnecessary hardship. However, SERVPRO employs IICRC-certified Odor Control Technicians (OCT) who can remedy these situations.

Once we complete the cleaning and restoration of your diner, including kitchen facilities and seating sections, we can eliminate the odor-causing particles left behind. Because floodwaters become absorbed by porous materials, hydroxyl machines help immensely in eliminating the odors that can detract from your patron's enjoyment. We know your staff works hard to provide an environment suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, but detestable odors can make all your efforts worthless.

Helping restore your business after flood damage means it must not only look clean, but it must also smell clean, too. Otherwise, your business risks losing customers, meaning a staggering decline in profits, and the ability to remain in business. At SERVPRO of North Fulton County, we are your neighbors, living locally and always ready to help.
