Call SERVPRO to Perform Water Cleanup in Your Monroe Hotel

A burst fire sprinkler head can lead to extensive damage to your Monroe hotel. The rooms that are either occupied or reserved could be affected, and this can lead to disruption of business. Apart from the guest rooms, water from an overhead sprinkler can also affect other areas such as the fitness center, office, and hallways.

What are the immediate repercussions of water damage in a hotel?

Water can ruin the building materials and contents in a hotel. That’s why you need quick water cleanup in your Monroe hotel. Since water flows downwards, the ceilings, walls, and floors can sustain damage. Water can ruin different types of floors, including vinyl, tile, wood, and carpeting. Water can also interfere with the working of electrical wiring, and this can lead to fire hazards. You can face the prospect of losing revenue if you have to relocate guests to area hotels.

How can SERVPRO help?

Shortly after receiving your call, we can arrive at your hotel and start extracting water from all the affected areas. We often use electric submersible pumps to remove the water. These pumps eliminate suction lift limitations, and they offer quiet operation. Once we complete the water removal process, we can start the drying process using air moving and dehumidifying equipment. Our objective would be to make as many rooms as possible ready for occupancy.

At times, water damage makes it necessary to perform some demolition work. Our technicians can perform controlled demolition and preserve as many structures as possible. For instance, we can carefully remove drywall at base height and peel wallpaper from drywall to remove damp insulation and dry all affected materials.

How do you ensure the safety of guests and other occupants?

The safety and comfort of the guest and other occupants in a hotel are our priority throughout the restoration process. We can secure all work areas to prevent slip, trip, and fall hazards from wet surfaces, and power cables. Our team also wears personal protective equipment (PPE) to stay safe. Apart from PPE, we also use other pieces of safety equipment such as:

    •    Non-contact voltage detectors
    •    Portable ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI)
    •    Circuit analyzers

Our SERVPRO team can clean the work site daily to ensure that your guests are as comfortable as possible while the work is in progress. To determine if the affected areas are dry, we can use infrared cameras, penetrating, and non-penetrating moisture meters to check for moisture. We have the expertise required to restore your hotel to its preloss state.
