Avoid Closure of Your Manhasset Theaters with Professional Water Damage Mitigation and Remediation

When water intrudes into your Manhasset multiplex, fast and efficient mitigation and remediation not only preserves the structural components of your commercial building. They also ensure any closure is brief or limited to a defined space. Disappointed customers who look forward to date night or a family outing need assurance that the crisis is temporary. Otherwise, they might seek other venues for their viewing pleasure. Our highly-qualified team can help.

Snack Bar, Ahoy!

Before the matinee, your staff working the opening shift discovered water damage at the Manhasset movies. A leak in an ice machine spread meltwater across a terrazzo floor to carpeting in the arcade. Fast action on our part permits the show to go on, with our crew preventing continued migration of the fluids and planning for the evacuation of the remaining standing water before structural drying.

Impressive Inventory of Water Removal Equipment

Our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained project managers and technicians are well-rehearsed in water removal and applied drying theory. SERVPRO’s supporting cast consists of commercial-grade submersible pumps, portable and truck-mounted extractors, and high-efficiency drying equipment. All the tools needed to remove the water arrive with our technicians on our signature green trucks, immediately available to implement all phases of our project plan.

In-Place Drying of Carpeting Minimizes Disruption

When an expanse of carpeting absorbs water SERVPRO often considers removing the water and completing drying without removal. We start by using wanded extractors to limit or mitigate further spread. Then we switch to weighted machinery to force the remaining water out of the carpet fabric and padding. Our technicians add their body weight to press more water out. Each pass of the extractor completes with care to prevent stretching or tearing of the carpet fabric. We inspect for signs of delamination as we extract, avoiding actions that cause the carpet to separate from its backing.

Thorough Extraction Speeds Drying

Taking the time to extract as much liquid water as possible significantly shortens carpet drying time. SERVPRO technicians know secondary damage, such as mold growth, takes hold if moisture levels are not normalized within 24 to 48 hours of the water loss. We position air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to dry out the carpet, considering removing and replacing the padding to improve the outcome.
