Water Damage Restoration for Business
In the aftermath of flooding, businesses experience considerable financial setbacks due to reduced operations and customer traffic. At Descalo Mold Testing, we specialize in mitigating these losses through swift, skilled flood restoration services for a range of commercial properties including healthcare facilities, retail stores, educational institutions, and more.

Flood damage involves more than simple water intrusion, encompassing issues such as mold growth from standing water, residual moisture, and compromised air quality. These conditions can affect employee performance, posing health risks and possibly resulting in increased healthcare claims or even lawsuits due to unsafe working environments. Moreover, customers are unlikely to patronize a business with foul odors or health hazards, which could ultimately result in closing the business.
Commercial Water Damage Evaluation Process
Upon arrival at your property, our team utilizes advanced equipment and techniques, similar to those used in residential services, to identify and remediate water damage. This includes identifying moisture, extracting water, enhancing air circulation, dehumidifying spaces, and removing odors. We conduct thorough inspections to assess damage and locate the water source, taking necessary steps to halt its flow. Special care is taken to address hazardous water types, such as black water, ensuring the eradication of harmful microbes. Mold assessments and treatments are conducted as needed. Unsalvageable items are removed, and heavy objects are relocated during the cleanup process and returned to their original positions afterward. Our use of deodorizing and anti-microbial agents revitalizes the air quality in your building, ensuring a safe, fresh environment for both employees and customers.
At Descalo Mold Testing, we aim for the rapid restoration of your commercial property to minimize health risks and financial impacts, ensuring your business can resume normal operations as swiftly as possible.
