Commercial Water Removal in Holmdel Averts Major Damage in Gym

A local gym had a pipe break overnight in a wall, and the softening of the sheetrock caused a row of mounted mirrors to come down into the wet floor that needed commercial water removal. When the manager arrived to open the doors for members for the day, she walked into a mess.

After shutting off the water to the gym, she called for commercial water removal in Holmdel from SERVPRO. The techs arrived quickly to begin the cleanup and get the gym ready to reopen as fast as possible.

Cleaning the Floors

The techs scoped the facility and determined an accurate scale of the water loss using their moisture detection equipment. The wall the mirrors came down from had a large amount of water wicked within the sheetrock. The techs swept away the broken mirrors and used their portable pumps to pull up the remaining water. The RubberTrax carpet used throughout the gym did not absorb water. However, water ran underneath in the vicinity of the pipe break, and the carpet squares needed removal to dry the slab substrate underneath. The techs took the rubber carpet squares to another area for drying and disinfection so they could get reused and save the owner the cost of replacement. The sheetrock where the mirrors hung needed removal, and this action opened up the wall cavities for drying. 

Drying and Disinfection

Gym members have an expectation that the place they work out is clean and sanitary. The techs have drying equipment that blows air at such a high velocity; it causes embedded moisture in the concrete slab flooring to rise. Once that happens, the dehumidifiers capture it.

The cycle continues and rapidly drops the air moisture content in the loss area. The techs set drying goals for healthy air quality levels and monitor the drying process carefully to ensure they get attained. 

Afterward, they use their professional-grade cleaning solutions to wipe down the affected areas with antibacterial agents to leave the surfaces clean and sanitary for use.
