Commercial Water Damage Gets Forgotten in South Miami With Red Carpet Treatment From SERVPRO

South Miami had large thunderstorms that brought heavy rain and high winds on the Big Game day and threatened to ruin the planned red carpet festivities at this South Miami venue. The property owner brought in SERVPRO for emergency services water damage cleanup and handled the water removal services.  

SERVPRO Performs Water Removal Services Outdoors in South Miami Venue 

Upon arrival, the red carpet along the entrance to the building was soaked from the heavy storms. To halt the potential for any further damage, SERVPRO technicians deployed multiple portable pumps with weighted extractor heads to push the water out of the red carpet as rapidly as possible. As seen in the Before Photo, the area that needed water clean up was expansive. The use of multiple technicians on the job helped move along the water restoration services on the South Miami property.

SERVPRO Brings All Equipment Needed for Water Damage Restoration to South Miami Buildings 

The IICRC certfiied technicians from SERVPRO load their production trailers with every piece of equipment for both water extraction, drying, and water damage repairs based on information collected during the initial phone call to their South Miami location. This enables SERVPRO techs to work from start to finish during the water damage remediation without any delays for opening the event for patrons who were due to arrive at the event via yacht but were delayed to the South Miami event because of the heavy rains that left behind the water clean up needed at the red carpet event.  

Drying After Water Removal Services in South Miami by SERVPRO  

The Before Photo shows security and organizers walking on a saturated red carpet at the South Miami event. After extracting the maximum amount of water, SERVPRO technicians deployed multiple air movers equal distances apart, as seen in the After Photo. These little machines blow high-velocity air over wet surfaces and, in this case, the red carpet. The airspeed causes any residual moisture still trapped in the carpet fibers to rise up and out.

Confirming the South Miami Red Carpet is Dry and Ready for the Event

SERVPRO technicians set drying goals during water damage restoration services, and those goals take into account the indoor or outdoor air humidity conditions in South Miami. The technicians monitor the process carefully using multiple devices to take readings and ensure that the moisture gets lifted from the red carpet to get walked on by VIP guests and not show any signs of wetness or water stains. SERVPRO techs can estimate drying times based on experience and knowledge taught through the IICRC (the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification).
