Water Damage to Commercial Building in Spokane

A fire sprinkler system in this office building failed in the middle of the night, accidentally discharging gallons of water throughout this Spokane business affecting walls, furniture and flooring. SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane immediately responded and worked around the clock to restore the affected areas and prevent any secondary damage from occurring.

 Upon arriving on-site, SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane’s Certified Water Restoration Technician’s assessed the situation and began extracting the standing water from the affected areas. Following extraction, the environment was stabilized and drying equipment was set. Baseboards had to be pulled and holes drilled at the bottom of the walls to create pressure inside the wall cavities. SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane technician’s monitored daily until all materials affected met the industry drying standard.

We know that commercial water damage can cost a business thousands of dollars in productivity; it is always our goal to help keep your business running as flawlessly as possible through the restoration process. 

What to Expect

When you call, we will ask several questions regarding your water damage emergency. These questions will help us determine what equipment and resources to bring, including how many trained SERVPRO Professionals may be needed.
