What Commercial Flood Cleanup and Extraction Includes in Pacifica
Every commercial flood cleanup and extraction loss has its own water path. In Pacifica, the crew maps moisture and removes water from affected surfaces. The actual water source determines the first cleanup steps.
A pipe, sprinkler or storm event can flood work areas and affect business operations. Water can move into carpet tile, inventory, wall bases and equipment areas. Jobs involving office water damage, retail store water damage and restaurant water extraction need a check beyond the visible puddle.
