Contact SERVPRO Restorers for Professional Water Cleanup in Your Newark Retail Store

Business success relies on keeping your retail store professional, clean, and inviting. That is why you should take water damage in your retail store seriously and contact professional restorers immediately to avoid turning your customers away.

Commercial water cleanup in your Newark retail store can help you avoid high losses in your business. At SERVPRO, we understand that restoration delays in a retail environment result in heavy losses. Our team of restorers responds to our customers' emergency calls and acts fast to solve the issue.

While restoring the business premises, SERVPRO always puts retailers' safety and health first. Here are the steps we can take to repair your retail store after water damage: 

  • Through inspection using thermal imaging cameras before starting the restoration.
  • Inspect the electrical wiring for damage and the flooring for potholes.
  • Looking out for falling contents in the event of water flowing in the premises.

If you want to turn on the power, you should have a professional check the electrical system. Once electrical experts verify that the equipment is safe, the staff can lift the inventory to an elevated area until SERVPRO cleanup experts arrive and begin removing the water using sweepers.

After arriving at your water damaged retail store, SERVPRO restorers can use moisture sensors to check for moisture levels on various surfaces. Our technicians can determine the most effective and appropriate cleaning method with this information.

To dry the affected areas effectively and fast, we can use desiccants with two 20-inch reinforced ducts. One duct takes in cool, dry air from outside, while the other drives the moist air from the property. The equipment helps enhance the drying process by increasing the rate of evaporation in the property, including hard-to-reach surfaces.

Water cleanup may seem like an easy job, but it requires sophisticated equipment, tools, and unique skills. Contact SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont at (510) 737-8793. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Poor Newark Mold Removal Services Can Seriously Harm Your Business

Mold threatens most area businesses because of Newark’s rainier than average climate. If mold proliferates in your business structures, it could severely impact your operations. Moreover, its effects grow worse the longer it is allowed to remain without proper remediation.

Unlike SERVPRO, many Newark mold removal companies are not all that effective at successfully cleaning up and restoring mold-related damage. If you are unfortunate enough to use one of these other mold remediation services, your business could suffer some of the following long-term effects:

  • Persistent and increasingly more intense musty odors that impact every part of your business
  • Mold growths that spread throughout your buildings, discoloring and deteriorating structural elements and contents
  • Catastrophic structural collapses after mold eats away at cellulose in building materials
  • Health effects on customers and employees
  • Business closures and financial losses as a result of having to clean up and restore long-term mold damage

In order to help you avoid these devastating issues, SERVPRO’s mold specialists provide area business owners with top-notch mold inspection services, mold removal work, and black mold damage repairs. This all enables us to save you time and money over the long term. 

Considering all this, remember that selecting the right mold removal company is crucial to effectively remediate your mold damage and avoid costly repairs in the future. Call your helpful neighbors at SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont at (510) 737-8793 for assistance.

SERVPRO Uses Adequate Resources to Complete Water Clean Up Faster Reducing Damage in Newark Offices

An office center with wall-to-wall carpets is highly vulnerable to water leaks since excess moisture can cause irreversible damages such as delaminating. Since once water spills, the most viable solution is faster removal, you need a water removal service with sufficient resources.

Different approaches can help with water damage restoration in Newark offices. However, some are a bit more destructive than others. For instance, removing the carpets is time-consuming and increases the chances of damages such as tears or stretching. Our SERVPRO teams can pursue other alternatives such as in-place drying. We use a variety of equipment, including mobile extractors, ride-on rovers, and portable wet vacuums.

The different types of equipment help in many ways to help improve the outcome of the restoration. For instance, the weight of rovers helps squeeze out the water absorbed by the carpet, thus improving extraction efficiency. Portable vacuums, on the other hand, make it easier to address specific sections. 

On concluding water extraction and cleaning within the first 24-48 hours, our SERVPRO technicians can embark on drying the property before bad odors or even mold growth starts. That way, we can restore your office to its preloss state after sudden water intrusion from:

  • Burst pipes
  • Ceilings leaks
  • Emergency services water damage

Newark is located just three miles southwest of Fremont, California, part of the San Francisco Bay area within Alameda County.

Looking back on Newark's history, the city got its name as a tribute to the castle Newark from Port Glasgow in Scotland. Throughout the 1850s, Newark turned into a prominent center for salt production. In terms of transportation, 1876 is when San Francisco businessmen named Alfred Davis, and Jim Fair wrapped up the construction of the South Pacific Coast Railroad. This line went from Dumbarton Point over to Santa Cruz. The railroad shop, station, and roundhouse were all situated within Newark. 

Before Newark having European settlers, the area was home to the Native American Peoples known as Ohlone. It wasn’t until later, when the first European settlement came to the region when Spanish Missionaries developed the Mission of San Jose. This territory covered most of what is now known as present-day Newark, along with Union City and Fremont. The Pacific Land Investment Company purchased land from Alameda County and Washington Township in 1878, which then got subdivided to form Newark town.
