Commercial Drying Services In Pompano Beach

A public library is a great resource, and it is not just the public library that stores books in Pompano Beach. Many businesses such as law firms or educational establishments have a library that is a vital part of their company. Naturally, you do not want your business’ or institutions’ books to get wet, and in the event of water damage, you should call SERVPRO of Pompano Beach at (954) 970-4942.

Professional water removal in Pompano Beach 

SERVPRO of Pompano Beach can help preserve and save books. Even books that are entirely soaked might be salvageable using a robust process known as freeze drying. First, documents are freeze dried to preserve their current state. Then, we place them in a specialist freeze-drying chamber, and all air is suctioned out. A combination of pressure and temperature are used to evaporate water and collect it outside the chamber.

SERVPRO of Pompano Beach understands that the sight of wet books and papers is upsetting and it is natural to want to take action as soon as possible. We recommend caution and offer the following guidelines.

Stop water flow if it is safe to do so, to prevent further harm to delicate books.

We suggest taking unaffected papers to another, drier, location if you can, to prevent them from being affected.

It is essential that the affected area is kept dry and cold. We recommend using a dehumidifier if possible to reduce humidity. You can use a fan for moving the air and aiding the drying process. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive equipped with dehumidifiers and fans ready to do the job.

Be very careful with water-logged books. Do not open the volumes, remove their bindings, or fan the pages. Handle each item as little as possible until our staff arrives.

If water is still dripping from a leak or broken pipe or roof, spread plastic sheeting over collections to protect them from drips.

Swift action is vitally important. The sooner books are frozen, the higher the chance of salvaging them successfully. That is why we recommend putting in a call to SERVPRO as soon as you can. Our IICRC certified technicians are ready to remove water from the floor, reduce humidity, encourage evaporation and, most importantly, carefully take your books for freeze-drying.
