What Tools Remove Water from a Wayne Grocery Store Stock Area?

Let SERVPRO help your Wayne grocery store when you have water damage.

Our SERVPRO Professionals Understand How Finite the Timeline is When Your Supplies Are at Risk of Water Damage, and We Can Help with Premier Extractor Tools and Drying Equipment.

With thousands of customers entering the doors of your grocery store each week, keeping your facility in top form becomes an increasingly harder and harder thing to do. When pipes burst or fire suppression systems become damaged, water damage effects can quickly spread through the immediate stock area of your store.

How Do I Remove Standing Water Immediately? 

Standing water removal for your Wayne store involves multiple tools in our SERVPRO arsenal, as each of these situations can vary regarding severity, location, and affected contents or materials. Removing pooling water in the stock area is a vital effort that must begin immediately to help protect your investments. This effort begins with:

• Submersible Pumps – These are a staple of extraction work when the surface water to get removed is deeper than two inches. These pumps get entirely submerged in the water and can continually remove liquid until it gets to a more manageable depth.

• Wet Vacuums – Wet vacuums are the extractor of choice for lesser standing water concerns. Even an inch or two of standing water can still destroy your stock and supplies without immediate action, so the deployment of wet vacuums is essential.

• Squeegee Wands – Your stock area has concrete floors, with much of the non-perishable foods sitting up on moveable skids to make later restocking of goods faster. Squeegee wands help to remove any lingering surface water and limit slips and fall hazards.

Is It Possible to Protect the Stock Before Water Damage Occurs? 

If caught early enough, our technicians and your staff can work to relocate potentially damaged goods to a safer area in the building. In some situations, this relocation can be all these items need to stay safe during restoration.
