Newark Businesses Love the Cleanup and Restoration Services Received from SERVPRO--We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Fast Cleanup After Commercial Storm & Flood Damage Strikes in Newark

Silicone roof coatings are becoming more and more prized by businesses with flat roofing because it is both water-resistant and eco-friendly. However, storms can take their toll and cause this coating to lose its effectiveness, which can allow water into your building and cause further structural damage.

If your Newark office suffers storm and flood damage, a team of SERVPRO technicians can mitigate disaster and preserve your facilities. Technicians and franchise owners alike receive extensive, continuous education on both water and fire-related disasters to aid business owners and use that knowledge to preserve structures.

Signs of Damaged Silicone Roof Coating

While silicone roofing is highly valuable for offices looking to save on utility costs while implementing eco-friendly infrastructure, silicone roofing is still susceptible to damage. Keep an eye out for these signs that your silicone roofing may need repairs or replacement:

• Roof ponding that has not drained in over 48 hours
• Coating material pulling away from roof edges
• Tears, cracks, or other signs of erosion

It can be tempting to fix these issues with "quick fixes," but silicone roof systems need to be repaired with compatible silicone to retain their properties. Without proper repairs, these roof coatings can trap heat or allow water and other damages into your structure.

SERVPRO Can Save the Day

SERVPRO can salvage both electronic components and documents with specialized techniques unique to these items. Professionals can disinfect computers, printers, scanners with OSHA-approved cleaners, and ensure that components are dry before operation. This service to electronics is for exterior restoration only. If inspections and more are required for the internal workings of these pieces, we can refer you to a specialist. This is beyond our scope of service. For documents damaged by rainwater and not contaminated by groundwater floods, papers can be freeze-dried and carefully thawed off-site or dried directly on-site depending on the extent of the damage. This process is called lyophilization.

Carpet and pad, laminate wood, or vinyl flooring may need to be removed in the event of ground flooding, as these flooring systems become heavily damaged quickly. If your facility needs contracting services, your local SERVPRO team has a commercial contracting license (#1992104829).
