Water Damage Restoration for Business
In the aftermath of flooding, businesses face significant revenue losses due to limited operations and customer traffic. At Medhurst Repairs, we specialize in mitigating these losses through immediate, skilled flood restoration services for a range of commercial properties including healthcare facilities, retail stores, educational institutions, and more.

Flood damage is more than just simple water intrusion, including issues such as mold growth from standing water, residual moisture, and compromised air quality. These conditions can affect employee performance, creating health risks and potentially leading to increased healthcare claims or even lawsuits due to unsafe working environments. Moreover, customers are unlikely to patronize a business with foul odors or health hazards, which could ultimately force a business closure.
Commercial Water Damage Evaluation Process
Upon arrival at your property, our team utilizes advanced equipment and techniques, similar to those used in residential services, to identify and remediate water damage
. This includes finding moisture, removing water, boosting air circulation, dehumidifying spaces, and removing odors. We conduct thorough inspections to assess damage and locate the water source, taking necessary steps to cease its flow. Special care is taken to address hazardous water types, such as black water, ensuring the eradication of harmful microbes. Mold assessments and treatments are conducted as needed. Non-salvageable goods are disposed of, and heavy objects are relocated during the cleanup process and returned to their original positions afterward. Our use of deodorizing and anti-microbial agents revitalizes the air quality in your building, ensuring a safe, fresh environment for both employees and customers.
At Medhurst Repairs, we prioritize the rapid restoration of your commercial property to reduce health risks and financial impacts, ensuring your business can get back to normal operations as rapidly as possible.
