SERVPRO Midtown Memphis

The trained, certified team members of SERVPRO bring years of experience and advanced equipment to handle any size commercial water damage situation in Memphis.

When the aftermath of a plumbing issue, toilet backup, or other issue happens in your commercial property, you need to get going on the cleanup as soon as possible. The equipment that your regular janitorial crew uses to maintain your building may be inadequate for the type of cleanup and drying that the mitigation of water damage requires. Mainly when the issue is groundwater or a sewage backup into the property, repairs to the walls, floor, and replacement to some articles that absorbed the water can occur. It is crucial to use the services of a restoration service company that understands cleanup, sometimes also means prepping for repairs. 

What are Flood Cuts and Why Do Commercial Water Restoration Companies Rely on Them?

It may seem counterproductive to remove wet sheetrock rather than dry it, but this is a standard method used by commercial water restoration companies to lessen the damage from excessive moisture at your Memphis property. 

This process for flood cut is:

* The technicians locate the waterline within the sheetrock

* Measuring several inches over the waterline, the wet building materials get cut off. 

* This action opens up the interior wall cavity for drying.

* To repair, a replacement piece of sheetrock gets fitted into the space and sealed in place with joint compound. 

The clean cuts make any repairs needed after the fact simple. This attention to removing the least amount of building materials possible during the cleanup helps property owners keep the overall cost down for the restoration from water damage.
