SERVPRO® Essential Tips for Water Mitigation 

Slidell, Louisiana, is a lovely city on the northeastern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. It is known for its rich cultural history and proximity to New Orleans. When your Slidell commercial property faces water damage, quick action is essential to minimize loss. Water can sneak into basements, utility rooms, and areas with critical equipment, causing severe damage. Here's what SERVPRO wants you to know to protect these vulnerable areas in your business: 

Key Areas at Risk 

When it comes to commercial water mitigation for your Slidell business, keep these spaces in mind: 

• Basements: Often the lowest point in a building, basements are highly susceptible to water accumulation from leaks or flooding. 
• Utility Rooms: These spaces accommodate necessary machinery, such as HVAC systems and water heaters, which can leak and cause extensive damage. 
• Equipment Rooms: Rooms that contain critical business equipment must be protected as they are pivotal to your operations. 

Advanced Mitigation Technologies 

To effectively combat water damage, our professionals use state-of-the-art technologies and equipment: 

• Thermal Imaging Cameras: These tools help detect moisture hidden in walls, floors, and ceilings, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of water damage. 
• Automated Water Extraction Systems: These systems quickly remove water from affected areas, reducing drying time and mitigating mold growth. 
• Industrial-grade dehumidifiers pull excess moisture from the air and structure, which is crucial for preventing further water damage. 

Protective Measures 

To shield your Slidell commercial property from water damage, consider the following proactive steps: 

• Routine Inspections: Regularly check areas prone to water damage for signs of leaks or moisture accumulation. 
• Proper Maintenance: Keep all plumbing and HVAC systems in good repair to prevent unforeseen leaks.
