Commercial Property: Causes of Water Damage

11/1/2022 (Permalink)

Having a water damage at your business can be devastating and a headache to have to deal with. You have your family, employees, and yourself to worry about. The longer you stay out of business due to a water loss the worse it can be for your business and we don’t want that. We want to help restore your business and get you back into your business as fast as we can. 

Here are a few things that could cause a water damage loss at your commercial property:

1. Sprinkler systems- Sprinkler systems are required for businesses to help assist when there is a fire emergency. Sprinklers need to be checked and updated or they have the potential to malfunction. Sprinkler systems can malfunction and could possibly saturate and ruin equipment, inventory, and any other things that are important to your company.
2. Busted pipes– There are several reasons why pipes could possibly burst and cause flooding or a water damage. The most common reason is during the winter months there can be extremely cold days and that caused the water to freeze inside the pipes and will cause pressure and the pipes can burst. When pipes aren’t regularly examined, check, and fixed can cause them to burst.
3. Roof Leaks– Your roof needs annual and regular maintenance to avoid roof leaks. Storms can tear shingles off roofs and can cause a leak and then you could possibly have a severe water damage on your hands. Make sure to fix any roof issues and maintain your roof regularly to avoid leaks.
