What You Can Do When Your Movie Theater Sustains Flood Damage

When it comes to flood damage that is caused by storms, being prepared and following through with your plan is essential. Following a plan might not only help prevent disastrous levels of damage to your business, but it could also help ensure that injury does not occur. Making sure that you are in a safe place when the storm hits are critical. Insurance and remediation companies can handle the damage done to your business, but they cannot fix permanent harm done to your body.

The ocean-based storm that hit your independent movie theater caused flood damage inside the building you own. The lobby doors were breached, and now there are several inches of water inside, soaking into the carpet. Upon finding the damage inside of your theater, it is vital for you to call for professional help as soon as you can.

The faster that you can get a team like SERVPRO inside of your building to remediate, the better it can be for the outcome of the job. Flood damage is often time-sensitive and leaving it can cause further complications down the line, such as mold damage.

SERVPRO makes it a priority of arriving at your business when you need us there. We understand how vital foot traffic is for small businesses and, because of it, we work around your schedule. Our employees can even work through the night to keep out of sight and mind.

When SERVPRO arrives at your theater, we can bring advanced technology to handle removing the water from your building. Equipment such as wet/dry vacuums and extractors are excellent at removing water as quickly as possible. Considering that movie theaters are usually covered in carpet, extractors are a very useful tool. They remove water with suction, but also have a heating element inside that simultaneously helps dry carpet, upholstery, and drapes. Once the floodwaters are removed from your lobby, SERVPRO can do one last sweep to make sure that no water remains.

If flood damage impacts your business after a storm, never wait to call for help. Get in touch with SERVPRO of New Hanover by calling (910) 762-8180. Day or night, we can be there for you.
