Cleaning up the offices

The rain came quickly and only lasted a few minutes but it created significant damage to the Cambridge/Somerville area. Paula, the office manager, arrived in her office Wednesday morning and, her feet squished from the wet carpet. The rain was so overwhelming that the roof drain overflowed causing water to pour down into the office. She made a call to SERVPRO of Cambridge/Belmont and explained that she needed her office to be operational as it was their busy season. The SERVPRO technicians arrived within the hour. Melvin, the crew chief, tested walls and ceilings for excessive moisture, extracted the water from the carpets and left equipment to dry the wet walls ceiling and carpet. A few days later Melvin came back, tested the areas with a moisture and he found all areas to be dry. The crew shampooed the carpet and everything was back to normal in the office. If you have water or fire damage in your business, please call SERVPRO of Cambridge/Belmont (617) 864-7378
