Restoration Services for Storage Facilities and Warehouses
Owners of storage facilities and warehouses are totally at the mercy of the people who rent from them. Even though they will set rules about the kinds of things that can be stored, tenants will be tenants. They will store dangerous or toxic items and fires can happen. Even if the tenants don’t accidentally start a fire, floods can happen anywhere and anytime.
When anything happens to damage any kind of warehouse or storage facility, Service Restoration can clean up the mess and restore your facility.
Even Cold storage facilities and climate-controlled facilities can suffer damages. The huge refrigeration units that keep the area cold can have electrical problems that start fires. This will cause all the frozen items to spoil. Service Restoration will get there any time of the day or night to start the restoration process quickly and efficiently.
Distribution Centers
In today’s world of high-tech logistics, huge distribution centers are becoming the norm. These buildings as well can suffer fire and water damage. Fires in distribution centers can quickly get out of control as tall stacks of pallets catch fire. Damage is often extensive.
According to recent statistics from the National Fire Protection Association, the next largest cause of hospital fires is an electrical malfunction. There are hundreds of electrical devices being used all day long. Unless the hospital is brand new, the electric service might not be robust enough to meet demand and can cause a fire.
You can trust the experts at Service Restoration to get your facility back in order quickly with 24/7 emergency service crews.
All Insurance Accepted
When your business is faced with commercial water damage, you don’t want an added expense. Some insurance policies may cover damage associated with an accident.

After assessing the scene and making a careful itemized estimate for your insurance company, we will quickly and efficiently dispose of all damaged items so you don’t have to handle that part. Then we will clean up all the water damage.
Luckily, most warehouses use steel racking systems which won’t be damaged by water if it is cleaned up properly. But that is the key – it needs to be cleaned up properly.
Service Restoration knows that any water left standing will corrode the racks, so we are careful to make sure everything is totally dry. Using absorbents and pumps and blowers, we get rid of all the water. We even leave behind dehumidifiers to continue pulling the water from the air. This can sometimes take up to 72 hours before everything is dry.

Avoid Hidden Damages to Minimize Loss
In the case of individual storage units, our role is more complex. The people renting the storage unit will have to be notified and will have to decide which personal items they want to keep. Our technicians are accustomed to this scenario and will be able to start cleaning out soot and smoke damage and standing water as soon as they have permission.
Water damage in logistics centers and warehouses can be hidden damage. Any building materials that are porous are potentially soaking up water all during the flood. Floodwaters are full of bacteria and toxins. Any parts of the commercial shipping center that have been soaked will have to be removed and disposed of properly.
Drywall and wooden wall studs will soak up more water than is visible to the eye. Using the latest technology, Service Restoration knows how to determine how much of the building needs to be replaced.
