Water Damage Restoration

With an average annual precipitation of 47 inches and high levels of humidity during the summer months, water damage is a common occurrence in Newington, Connecticut.

Thunderstorms are relatively common during the summer months, especially in the afternoon and evening. These storms are characterized by heavy rain, hail, and strong winds. As well-built and durable as commercial buildings are, water can intrude during this weather event, damaging the internal structure of walls, roofs, and floors. High-speed winds can also carry debris and branches, which crash against the building’s exterior and let water access and destroy what’s inside.

During the winter months, Newington experiences cold temperatures and significant snowfall. When snow on a roof melts, it can collect at the edge of the roof and refreeze, forming an ice dam. This buildup of ice blocks drainage systems, causing water to seep into the roof and walls of a building, resulting in water damage.

Water damage can have severe consequences on commercial buildings, causing structural damage, mold growth, and other health hazards. This issue can also lead to significant financial losses for large portfolio owners, as the reconstruction process can be lengthy and disruptive to business operations, resulting in further financial harm.

Our Process

At Blue Team, our water damage management services involve a comprehensive analysis of the damage caused by water intrusion. Based on air- and water-testing results, we establish a treatment plan and project scope to address the extent of the damage. Our team of experts makes determinations regarding what materials can be salvaged and which must be replaced during the restoration process.

As part of our analysis, we also determine if biocides should be used. Biocides are chemical substances used to kill or control harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In the event of water damage caused by contamination, biocides can be used to sterilize polluted materials and the environment, reducing the risk of health hazards for building occupants.

Our water damage management services also involve stopping water intrusion and preventing further damage to the building or property. We use state-of-the-art equipment such as water extractors, dehumidifiers, and air movers to dry and dehumidify affected areas. Our team provides documentation to building owners, including a report on the extent of the water damage, the restoration plan, and estimated costs.

Fire Damage Restoration

Although Newington, Connecticut is not known for its high risk of wildfires, extreme weather events such as heatwaves and thunderstorms can cause fire damage to commercial buildings and large portfolio owners. The hot and humid summers, with temperatures often reaching over 90°F, can increase the risk of fires caused by electrical shorts or other heat-related issues.

Thunderstorms, which are common during the summer months, can also cause power outages and lightning strikes, which can lead to fire damage.

When fire damage occurs, it can have devastating effects on commercial buildings, causing structural damage and compromising the safety of occupants. Large portfolio owners are also affected by the financial burden of restoring their properties to pre-damage conditions in the aftermath, as repairs are often costly and halt business operation related to their commercial buildings.

Our Process

We understand the severity of fire damage and the impact it can have on commercial buildings. Therefore, we offer specialized fire damage restoration services aimed at minimizing the consequences and restoring the building to its former state. Our services include a comprehensive evaluation of the fire damage, debris removal, smoke and soot removal, and air quality control.

When Blue Team experts arrive at a site with fire damage, their first priority is to ensure everyone’s safety. Then, they evaluate the area and create a restoration plan. Salvageable materials are cleaned, while non-salvage materials are discarded.

We also present a reconstruction plan to clients in conjunction with insurance company representatives if applicable. Throughout the process, clients receive consistent updates and photographic

documentation to keep stay informed. All documentation is shared via the user-friendly BlueTeam app, ensuring clear and effective communication between all parties involved in the restoration process.

Reconstruction

Although not as recurring as other weather events in Newington, Connecticut, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods pose a much greater threat to commercial buildings, as they can cause damage that is beyond repair. The strong winds can knock down trees, power lines, and structures, leading to damage that requires extensive reconstruction work.

When water damage from thunderstorms isn’t addressed, mold and water build-ups extend to other parts of commercial buildings, compromising the structure, roofs, and walls of the place even further. When this is the case, restoration is rarely enough, and large portfolio owners must invest in reconstruction services instead.

Our Process

In the event of damage caused by extreme weather events, Blue Team offers comprehensive building reconstruction services. Our trained team can assess the damage and repair various materials, including steel, wood, concrete, as well as fix and install new roofs.

We also work with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing professionals to install and repair all systems, and provide demolition services to remove contaminants and stabilize existing buildings.

Roofing

Thanks to the cold winters and hot summers in Newington, Connecticut, commercial buildings often have roofing problems. The thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature extremes compromise the structural integrity of the roof, which can make water leak and pieces of roof fall.

The harsh weather conditions in the area make it crucial for building owners to consider better roofing options or replace their roofs with stronger materials to withstand heat waves and thunderstorms. A new roof with stronger materials provides better insulation, reduces energy costs, and improves the overall durability of the building.

Our Process

We provide both emergency and routine roof inspections to assess for any possible damage and offer preventative maintenance to keep your roofing system in top shape. In the event of an emergency, we are available 24/7 to assess and implement measures to protect your property and mitigate further loss.

Our skilled team can quickly repair or replace all major roofing systems, such as Carlisle, FiberTite, Firestone, and GAF, and provide temporary solutions while long-term systems are being completed.

From general maintenance to disaster response and recovery, we are committed to keeping our clients’ properties protected and well-maintained.
