Our technicians know all the steps to take for every surface of your property after a water incident. Call SERVPRO for effective water clean up.

SERVPRO is a Commercial Restoration Provider for Danbury Businesses in Need of Water Cleanup. 

Concrete is a mixture of mortar, sand, and water, which grows stronger over time as the water content reduces through hydration. The strengthening of concrete through hydration also reduces porosity making it less susceptible to permanent water exposure damage. Many commercial properties use concrete as a subfloor material. We can address water intrusion in your premises, including:

• Cleaning up after sewer backup
• Water clean up
• Burst pipes

The common method for concrete floor water cleanup at Danbury businesses is to use a non-penetrating moisture meter. This equipment measures surface temperatures to assess the extent of moisture taken onboard by a material. Moisture meters are fairly limited to set concrete as they only ascertain values for the first one inch of material. 

• SERVPRO can use a Calcium Chloride Test to measure vapor emissions from concrete subfloors and surfaces.
• The Thermo Hygrometer test relies on drilling small holes into concrete and measuring humidity, providing more accurate results than moisture sensors.
• Sometimes stripping paint or finish from concrete is necessary to reduce the drying times for the material. 

We have specialists for commercial premises and units. Contact SERVPRO of Danbury / Ridgefield for commercial water cleanup at (203) 791-0920.
