Water Removal Services are Integral for the Rapid Response SERVPRO Provides Jacksonville Businesses

Gyms and recreational centers are a frequent addition to the neighborhoods of Jacksonville and its surrounding communities. When water damages threaten the structural integrity of these facilities or prevent proper function, our SERVPRO team can respond fast to help. We are leading restoration professionals who arrive with top industry tools for extraction, drying, and cleaning. 

Gym and Exercise Floors

The rubber flooring typically used in exercise space can make water damage removal in Jacksonville facilities potentially easier to manage. These materials are mostly installed for shock absorbance and odor defense but lack the needed porosity for standing water to penetrate easily. Often water damage in these rooms requires surface cleanup and extraction only. 

Court Flooring 

Basketball courts and other athletic arenas constructed of this similar maple wood or natural hardwood material require special attention when affected by standing water. Removal of water on the surface might seem straightforward. Still, when moisture penetrates the finish on the court and gets into or underneath the plank, immediate drying steps are necessary to dry the court through capillary suction with tools like:

• Polypropylene sheeting
• Centrifugal air movers
• Drying mats
• Desiccant dehumidifiers

Linoleum Tilework

In many recreational complexes and multi-use gyms, linoleum tile gets installed in the hallways and communal areas. Linoleum is a relatively cheap glue-down option against concrete subflooring. Water exposure can loosen these adhered units and require them to be cleaned and reinstalled.  

Various material types are impacted differently by direct exposure to standing water or flooding. Having a team educated in the necessary repairs and mitigation actions can get your doors open again more quickly.
