Water from upstairs offices affected carpeted storage areas below in a Ventura commercial building. Computers, files and goods needed protection while mitigation was underway.
The Restoration Work
Following Water From Offices to Storage
A plumbing-fixture failure on an upper floor affected office carpet and the warehouse area below. Inspection considered wet floor materials, shelving, office furniture and nearby electrical concerns. The building's different uses required coordinated access to both the office and storage spaces.
Staging Contents and Extraction
Computers, files and packaged goods were moved to a dry zone. Plastic barriers and HEPA negative-air filtration separated the restoration work from other areas. Truck-mounted and portable equipment removed accessible water from carpet and concrete-floor areas.
Dehumidifiers and air movers supported drying, with cleaning and treatment of suitable affected surfaces included in the scope. Pin-type and non-invasive meter readings tracked material conditions as the work progressed. The project demonstrates the relationship between contents staging, water extraction and drying when a leak affects more than one level of an occupied commercial building.
What This Project Shows
Sensitive computers, files and goods were in the affected storage areas. Moving them to a dry area was part of making room for mitigation and protecting contents during the work.
