Commercial water damage requires an intensive approach since it is
more complex compared to residential water damage restoration. The damage intensity, size of the business or commercial building, and the number of staff affect the restoration process. Since the business has to continue, the time constraint for the job can also be an issue.
Common causes of commercial water damage
Most business and residential property owners picture that a massive storm or hurricane is the only cause of water damage that can make them shut down their business. However, the reality is that storms are a rare form of damage to buildings. Unpredictable events are the most common forms of water hazards that affect commercial buildings. It is essential to note the most common forms of commercial water damage, which include:
- Raptured pipes: Pipes and plumbing are prone to crack, break, or burst in residential properties, especially during extreme temperatures
- . Plumbers recommend property owners to ensure water flows through the pipes regularly to prevent freezing. Since water expands when cold, it may break the pipe and cause water damage in the building.
- Sprinkler systems: Business owners install sprinkler systems to protect their property in case of fires. When the system malfunctions, it can lead to widespread water damage in the building. An outdated or faulty sprinkler system can cause severe water damage in your business, leading to the destruction of key hardware and widespread inventory loss.
- Damaged HVAC system: To create a safe and comfort
- able
- environment for your employees and
customers, it is essential to maintain a clean HVAC system. With time, your HVAC ducts can get damaged or wear out, leading to water leakage. Ensure a professional clean and maintains your commercial
HVAC system regularly.
- Damaged windows: Window damage is another common cause of commercial water damage. Windows without proper seals can allow water or moisture to get into your business. If left unsolved for more than 24 hours, the excess moisture can cause damage such as wood wrapping, rotting, mold growth, and more water damage. Ensure your windows are not damaged and sealed properly during routine building maintenance.
- Faulty appliances: Residential properties and businesses with appliances such as refrigerators with automatic ice makers, washing machines in a laundry service company, and dishwashers can cause water damage. To avoid any water-related damage from faulty appliances, ensure to involve the right professional for regular inspection.
How to prevent commercial water damage
To avoid business interruptions and costly water damage repairs, it is vital to take the
- necessary measures. Have the
- residential or business
- building regularly inspected to avoid water leaks that com
e from various sources. There are several ways to prevent commercial water damage, including:
