Fitness Center with Commercial Flood Damage in Gaithersburg

Many people make New Year's resolutions to work out and get fit starting in January; however, commercial flood damage can put a halt to those plans and hurt the business of a gym. The goal after any water loss is to restore and reopen as fast as possible.

When intense storms damaged a roof at a Gaithersburg fitness center, the resulting commercial flood damage left pools of water on the rubberized carpet. If there was a positive in the situation, using their moisture detection equipment, SERVPRO techs determined that the floor covering prevented the water from reaching the subfloor and lessened the loss.

Fast Water Extraction
SERVPRO technicians know each water extraction comes with its own unique challenges. In the case of a fitness center, the workout machines get bolted to the floor for safety, and very few are moveable. This is good because their secure placement stops water from running underneath but creates a challenge for working around to ensure all the water gets removed.

Drying Around Equipment
Much like the extraction process, drying requires that the techs ensure each area is dry. In a case where there are immovable items, the techs set up multiple configurations of air movers for complete coverage in tandem with their dehumidification equipment to rapidly lower the moisture. Once the process completes, the techs use their detection equipment to ensure the premises verifies as attaining previously set drying goals.

Odor Control and Sanitizing the Loss Area
There are two things anyone utilizing a gym expects; one is a sanitary establishment and two, a place to work out in that does not have an unpleasant odor. After drying, the techs wipe down the affected area with their exclusive cleaning agents, including deodorizers and antimicrobials. Water can leave behind a musty smell, and SERVPRO techs have multiple applications to eradicate odors.
