When severe stormwater flooded the Stan Cash Furniture store in Brooklyn, our team was immediately called to mitigate the damage and ensure minimal disruption to the business. Stormwater had infiltrated the property through the main entrance doors, affecting an extensive 400m² area of carpet. The challenge was clear: restore the space quickly to avoid significant loss of trade and minimize downtime for the business.
We responded swiftly, deploying a professional team to extract the water from the affected area. Recognizing the importance of thorough sanitization, we applied a specialized sanitiser and browning treatments across the entire 400m² carpeted area to combat potential health risks and prevent staining. Our team then set up a combination of 25 air movers and 7 dehumidifiers, strategically placed to maximize drying efficiency. Over the course of three days, we closely monitored moisture levels, adjusting equipment as needed to ensure optimal results.
At the completion of the drying process, we treated the carpet again to prevent browning, then proceeded with a meticulous buffing and steam cleaning of the entire area. Although the restoration efforts were successful, we noted that the carpet had unfortunately delaminated and recommended its replacement. This case highlights our commitment to going above and beyond by not only restoring the space but also providing expert advice to safeguard against future issues. In cases where full restoration is impossible, we ensure our clients are informed and prepared for the next steps.
