Supply Line Water Damage at Library

A supply line from a bathroom created quite a mess of standing water in this Southern Illinois business. SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin, & Perry Counties worked around the clock to restore the affected areas to prevent any secondary damage from occurring. 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. 

Our SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin, & Perry Counties Representative will ask several questions: 

• Your name and contact information
• Your insurance information (if applicable)
• The street address of the water-damaged business
• When did the flooding or water damage occur?
• What caused the water damage (if known)?
• Is there electricity available (on-site)? 

Faster To Any Size Disaster

Flooding and water damage is very invasive. Water quickly spreads throughout your home and gets absorbed into floors, walls, furniture, and more.  SERVPRO of Jefferson, Franklin, & Perry Counties arrives quickly and starts the water extraction process almost immediately. This immediate response helps to minimize the damage and the cleaning and restoration costs.
