SERVPRO Technicians Take Great Care When Dealing with Delicate Items

Antiques are high on many people's list of the more interesting things in life – the ability to see how generations of the past lived and functioned satisfies the curiosity of many people. Others also believe that things today are not made as well as they used to be, and find that they prefer antique items over more recently made equivalents. This creates a strong market for the antiques business. Damage to your inventory can create irreparable losses, simply due to the scarcity of the items comprising your stock. 
 
When your Grafton location experiences flooding, you need commercial water removal efforts to begin immediately. This is the best and most thorough way to protect your investment. Saving the most delicate items may not always be possible, but when efforts to remove water begin earlier, much more damage is prevented. We know that items such as letters, photographs, books, and even items that are special because of the autograph they carry may be damaged, so we will do our part in providing adequate descriptions of these items, aiding you in the process of recovering those losses through your insurance carrier. 
 
Our Commercial Drying Specialist (CDS) knows the complexities involved in regaining a dry state, even when many different items are involved. Because the time periods involved most likely are spread out over several decades at a minimum, we know that we must work as quickly as possible to provide you with the best results. Preserving the patina that shows use and age while also preserving the piece as a whole is something that only an expert can do successfully after a flood situation, regardless of the source of water. Flooding from external sources can create a mess no matter what business type you are involved in, of course, but internal sources can create inventory losses in settings where priceless antiques are displayed that other businesses might not face. Commercial water removal includes even the smallest stock items. 
 
Preserving years' worth of inventory and protecting your financial security is something you cannot afford to skimp on. Call us, SERVPRO of Shrewsbury / Westborough at (508) 757-7885, for any size disaster and we can help you protect your assets with commercial water removal services.
