When Damp Spots Occur in your Mount Vernon Tenement, Use SERVPRO for Commercial Water Damage Restoration

How Does Damp Occur in a Building?

Tenement building in Mount Vernon can undergo significant stress during their lifetime, resulting in slow leaks or insulation deficiencies. As the owner of these blocks, you may notice damp spots yourself or receive notification from tenants and leaseholders. To ensure that you maintain good relationships with your clients, and protect your building, use a commercial water restoration service. Damp spots can lead to further issues down the line if the problem does not receive due care and attention. Our water restoration technicians have experience working with commercial landlords and can isolate the cause of dampness in your building. Once the source of moisture is under control, we can mitigate losses and restore any affected materials.

Is concrete adversely affected by moisture?

Sheetrock and concrete construction materials can crack or form fissures when there is exposure to water damage in your Mount Vernon building. These cracks can lead to mold growth or, over more extended periods, affect the building's structural integrity. Sometimes the root cause of cracking in a wall is tough to locate without using advanced water detection equipment. Our technicians place moisture sensors directly onto the surface of damp walls, floors, and surfaces, which provide a temperature reading. Using these readings, our team can assess where water may be residing and perform the necessary steps to reduce any lasting damages.

How do you dry concrete?

    •    Place a dehumidifier close to walls to ensure that the surrounding humidity remains low
    •    Drill small holes into the wall to allow circulation into the cavity
    •    Utilize advanced structural drying equipment like drying mats and Injectidry systems to remove moisture from the inner wall
