Job completed for Commercial Business- water damage, water restoration, Lafayette Louisiana

Completion date: August 5, 2021

Location: Lafayette, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water (UFW) was called to assist a commercial business in Lafayette, Louisiana, following significant water damage caused by a roof leak that occurred after Hurricane Delta. The rainwater seeped into the entire store, affecting both the structure and the inventory inside. Upon arrival, UFW’s team immediately set screws in all affected and non-affected rooms to take accurate moisture readings, ensuring a thorough understanding of the extent of the damage. This step was critical in assessing how to best address the moisture levels throughout the building.

Solutions provided:

To begin the restoration, UFW deployed multiple air movers and dehumidifiers across the affected areas to reduce the moisture content in the building and dry out the remaining structures. These machines were strategically placed to ensure effective and rapid drying, preventing further damage to the property. Simultaneously, debris and unsalvageable materials, such as soaked insulation, ceiling tiles, and flooring, were removed from the business to facilitate the drying process and prevent any potential contaminants from lingering in the space.

Once the moisture levels were properly reduced, UFW performed surface cleaning on the remaining structures to ensure they were free from dirt and contaminants. The team then applied an antimicrobial cleanser to all surfaces to further mitigate the possibility of future mold growth. This treatment was essential in safeguarding the business from potential health hazards and preserving the integrity of the building. With these comprehensive restoration efforts, UFW helped the commercial property recover from the water damage caused by Hurricane Delta, ensuring the space was safe, dry, and ready for reoccupancy.
