Boynton Beach Hotel Cannot Reopen Without Commercial Water Removal
One type of business that thrives on foot traffic and seasonal waves of guests is the hotel industry in Florida during Spring Break. While locals brace themselves for an influx of visitors, hotel owners get ready to keep them happy, and one thing not on that list of amenities is water damage.
A Boynton Beach hotel in need of commercial water removal from an early morning pipe break got a fast response. While none of the suites received damage, the carpeted hallway leading to an entire to wing of rooms was wet down to the padding. The hotel owner wanted the area reopened as rapidly as possible, so she did not have to cancel any reservations.
Methods of Expedited Water Extraction
Carpeting is not automatically a loss when a water event happens. However, it can be if the cleanup efforts do not begin rapidly enough. The water degrades quickly, and the establishment of bacteria takes it through stages as gray water and finally black water after 48 hours, and it has to get handled and disposed of as a biohazard for safety reasons. SERVPRO techs use a wide variety of equipment for the removal of water. Equipment such as pumps with weighted extractor heads allows the techs to get close up against baseboards and push the moisture up and out of the carpet and padding. Ride-on units are another excellent tool that uses the weight of the technician riding it to push out water. These two methods get used in tandem frequently for fast cleanup.
Rapid, Complete Drying Means Fast Reopening
Because the techs found no structural damage to the hotel, the hallway needed extraction, drying, and cleaning only to get prepped for the use of guests again. The techs put plastic over the carpet to force the air into the carpet and padding so it could dry in place. Then they wiped down the walls and ensured the hallway smelled as welcoming as it looked.
