Cheshire Storage Area, Storm Damage from a Broken Sump Pump

Whether from slow seep that collects in the holding pit or a flash flood, a sump pump should mitigate or even prevent flood damage to a Cheshire facility. The Category 3 Black Water should be removed by SERVPRO technicians donning PPE personal protective equipment. Contaminants in this murky groundwater can hold pathogens, viruses, fecal matter, chemicals, pesticides, and debris; we strongly advise to get professional assistance for the extraction, drying, and disinfecting service. We can use our truck-mounted gas-powered pump to extract the bulk of the water. Faster means less chance of rusting to the shelving, degradation to the concrete pad, the HVAC equipment, and stocked inventory. It takes several days to restore acceptable moisture content levels to the concrete elements in this structure.
