Water damage in your commercial building can have many negative consequences to your business. Depending on the severity, water damage can reduce your everyday workflow and productivity. It can also affect the health and life style of your employees, customers, and/or residents. It is important that you first identify the cause of the water damage to stop it at the source, then you must dry out the area in order to be able to begin the restoration process. Some causes of water damage in your commercial building are clogged sewers and a faulty building foundation.

Clogged Drains/sewers:

A backed up drain and clogged sewers can be the start of water damage. The backed up water in these clogged drains and sewers contains harmful bacteria. It is important to clean these drains periodically, to avoid potential water damage.

Faulty Building Foundation:

A defective building foundation can be a result of many things. Leaking pipes and roofs are mainly caused by storm damage and can lead to water damage overtime if not taken care of right away. This water damage could lead to the growth of mold, which can then affect residents, customers, and employees quality of life. Keeping up on duct cleaning is also important for your commercial building because backed up air ducts can also lead to leaks and water damage.
