Establishing a Drying Goal for Flooded Largo Warehouses

Flood-Damaged Largo Commercial Properties Need Set Timelines for Restoration
From the first notice of loss, our large loss recovery team works fast to get our Green Fleet in motion to help flood-damaged businesses throughout the Greater Largo area. Manufacturing warehouses are a common sight, especially in the industrial areas near the ports, so having experienced professionals to respond to flood losses ensures that we can protect these facilities from irreparable harm to:
- Wares
- Inventory
- Equipment
- Furniture
- Structural Elements
Drying goals after flood damage to Largo warehouses and production facilities are vital. Property management has to generate loss figures based on projected downtime, and professional restorers work to provide realistic timelines and drying goals that are efficient yet attainable. A careful inspection of the property and scoping loss to contents, equipment, and the structure allows us to determine the total restoration time and estimate costs.
Placement of Drying Equipment
Careful considerations are made to the ideal placement of drying tools and equipment. Units like air movers can only impact a specific surface region of flood damaged building materials. Calculating the frequency and placement of centrifugal air movers balances how rapidly evaporation can happen so that the trailered desiccant dehumidifier can keep up.
Monitoring and Documenting Results
It is critical to regularly interface with the customer and related insurance adjusters to discuss restoration progress and drying goals. SERVPRO DryBook is proprietary software that helps to quickly document and catalog damage and restoration processes for this purpose. Data gathered by moisture monitoring equipment in our inventory become vital elements in the projected restoration timeline and progress documented on DryBook.
Flooding can be a rapidly forming and destructive event for your business, especially those with such open floor plans as warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
