School's Out During Commercial Flood Damage Cleanup in Sevierville

After violent weather went through this area of the TN, the roof of a school received damage from high winds and left the structure with needing repairs and water cleanup.

The school required fast cleanup of commercial flood damage at the Sevierville property. There were several levels of damage present that necessitated quick action to negate further loss from occurring.

Early Actions to Stop Further Water Loss

When SERVPRO technicians arrive at a site, they scope the property to determine areas of loss and places that require immediate temporary repairs. They tarped over the damaged spots to the school's roof where further water had the potential to enter. Upon inspecting the property, they found water in several areas and began extraction efforts immediately.

Drying in Place vs. Removal

Often these procedures during mitigation of flood damage happen together. Items like files, important papers, books in the library, and things that extended exposure to high humidity levels carry the prospect of further damage, get removed for drying elsewhere. Whenever possible, SERVPRO technicians place large tables and desks on blocks and dry them in place to minimize disruption.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Parents expect the school they send their children to is both sanitary and safe. SERVPRO technicians remove damaged sheetrock using clean cuts for faster drying and easy restoration. Both antibacterial and antimicrobial solutions feature in the cleaning process to ensure surfaces from floors, tables, and walls are left sanitary.

Mold Prevention

Airborne mold spores occur naturally inside and outside, always looking for optimal conditions for germination. After flood damage, the constant humidity the wet environment creates is a perfect new home for mold colonies. Spores have the potential to germinate within 24-hours, and they spread quickly once established. Technicians work proactively to dry, treat, and seal areas most likely to develop mold growth to inhibit the issue from becoming a problem during or after mitigation.
