Water Damage in Commercial Buildings

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Water damage in a commercial building can be particularly troublesome because it can affect more than a single occupant of the building. This is particularly true in multi-floor buildings, where water can travel from an upper story all the way to the ground floor. Multiple businesses or offices can be put out of commission until water damage is corrected, leading to loss of income and even severe hardship for the employees if they are unable to return to work for a period of time while damage is dealt with.

Causes of water damage in a multi floor commercial building can include:

*Heavy rain and flooding
*Burst water pipes
*Overflowing toilets or sinks

Water from an upper floor bathroom leak, for example, can cause damage to the ceiling of the floor below. If sufficient water leakage occurs, this damage could even extend to the next floor below the leak.

Water damage is more easily dealt with if it is managed before the damage becomes severe. Leaks that begin when the commercial building is unoccupied, such as overnight or on a weekend, could become severe before anyone notices they have occurred, leading to much worse and more extensive damage. If water reaches expensive business equipment such as copiers, fax machines or computers, damage could prove to be extremely costly. In addition, if water damages vital paperwork, records or files, the company could suffer the loss of irreplaceable data.

In some cases, water damaged items can be restored so that they are once again usable. In addition to taking necessary precautions to prevent water damage in your commercial building, be sure to back up all computer records, maintain duplicate copies of paper records and, if water damage does occur, contact a water damage restoration expert to help recover your damaged items, equipment and information.

What is Water Damage Mitigation

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Anyone who has ever suffered significant water damage to their home knows how frustrating of a situation it can be. Not only is water damage unhealthy to live in/around, it can significantly decrease the resale value of your home. Fortunately, it is possible to remedy the negative effects of water damage through a process known as water damage mitigation.

Put simply, water damage mitigation is the process of repairing whatever damage has been caused by excessive moisture. The process and extent of the job can vary dramatically by circumstance. For instance, a small patch of mold caused by excessive moisture is something that can be mitigated rather easily. However, a crumbling foundation that has suffered years of water damage can be a massive job. In such cases, structures can be in such bad shape that they must be demolished. While these situations are rare, they do exist.

The fact is, living in a home that has even a small amount of water damage can be unsafe, as well as unhealthy. Mold (especially black mold) that is born out of excessive moisture can be very hazardous to one’s health, and can cause respiratory issues if inhaled. While it may seem as if getting rid of a mold problem is something that one can do on their own, this is never recommended. Since professionals work with mold on a regular basis, they know the process inside and out, and are aware of all necessary safety details. Doing the job on your own can sometimes make the problem worse, and can be hazardous to your health.

Water damage mitigation does not have to be expensive, and is a process that should be done as soon as possible, as the more water damage accumulates, the harder and more intensive the mitigation process becomes. Don’t live in a home riddled with moisture issues any longer – choose water damage mitigation today.

Tips on How to Avoid Water Damage in the Home

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Water damage is something that many homeowners seldom think about during their day to day lives. It can happen to anyone except them, they believe, and so there is no reason to worry or ponder about it. But the truth is nobody is safe from unattractive occurrences. Thankfully, it can be stopped before it starts. If you follow the below tips, you may very well save your home from water damage.

Did you know that rain could become trapped on your roof? This is especially true in areas that experience heavy rain falls. But don’t panic and feel like there is nothing that can be done about it. It’s simple. Simply put in gutter guards for the gutters on your roof. That way, nothing can get stuck; it should slide right off the roof and prevent the water from causing any damage to the structure. Be sure to also remove debris such as leaves and sticks.

Are you going away for the weekend, or perhaps a whole week? Before you pack in that last bottle of emergency suntan lotion or start the motor for the car, think about shutting off the supply of water to your washing machine, be it in the basement or other common area in the home. It may seem strange but this is a precaution you should consider, especially if you don’t want an unexpected flooding of the room when you get back. This also works if you want to be able to tell if there could be any leakage. This is done by checking water levels while the washing machine is not on.

You absolutely must do frequent inspections for mold. Mold is a sign of water damage, along with rust. The basement, attic or even bathrooms are prime spots for these problems to exist, so be sure to check there first. Be thorough or you could miss a crucial problem.

Is your faucet dripping all night? Does your toilet not flush properly? Have them fixed as soon as possible. If you don’t think they can be fixed, by all means, replace them.

I hope you enjoyed these tips on how to avoid water damage in the home, until next time. When seconds matter, call SuperRestoration!
