If your clothing boutique needs assistance any time day or night, contact SERVPRO of Newark.

Should I Worry About the Clothing in My Newark Boutique Sustaining Damage?

We understand the importance of keeping your business running, even when you've had an emergency. It is also critical to your business to protect your merchandise from damage.

SERVPRO Takes Care of Excess Damage-Causing Moisture
In Newark, commercial water removal poses different challenges than water damage in a home. Your focus is on the contents of your storefront, whereas your landlord is concerned with any structural damage. The water leak causes excess moisture in the air, increasing the relative humidity in the store, which can impact the clothing if left too long.

What Does SERVPRO do to Mitigate Damage to My Merchandise?
    •    Ventilate the store, using the HVAC system or with outside air depending on the temperature outside.
    •    We run Dehumidifiers to pull excess moisture out of the air.
    •    Remove all or some of the items to a secure offsite storage location to keep them dry and to clean if needed.

How Do I know My Merchandise is Safe Offsite?
Technicians take a detailed inventory of all items on their Contents Inventory Worksheets.
We Identify rush items, so things of great importance can get back to you as quickly as possible. Even if deemed salvageable, SERVPRO technicians communicate before disposing of any item.

Ideally, our restoration specialists do not have to remove merchandise, and when they do, they aim to keep it a partial move-out to keep your business functional. However, when a move-out is required, it is beneficial for insurance purposes to have an inventory with detailed descriptions of the condition of the item.

If you need assistance any time day or night, contact SERVPRO of Newark at (302) 733-7933. We make it, “Like it never even happened.”
