What is Commercial Water Damage?
Water Damage to a commercial building can cause unimaginable havoc in many lives. It is not just a building that gets affected, it is the lives of all the people who work in the commercial building that get affected due to commercial water damage. There are many ways in which water damage can occur.
- Leaky taps - up to 3000 gallons of water gets wasted each year if a faucet leaks even a little! Enough water to have a bath every alternate day in a year. Checking up on these leaky taps is one way to avoid water damage.
- Clearing gutters on roofs and fixing leaky roofs - blocked drains allow water to collect where it shouldn’t. This water then finds a way to get out, probably through cracks in the roof or drywall. This eventually leads to the growth of mold, causing severe health hazards to people. Unfortunately, this type of damage can go unnoticed until it is too late as it happens over some time. Water removal from these virtually hidden spaces is a task for a specialist like the Water Extraction Team
- Burst pipes - especially during winter. Water pipes in areas not insulated from the harsh cold can freeze and cause a pipe to burst. In commercial establishments, these disasters happen over weekends or long holidays when there is little or no staff in the building, causing devastation.
- Flooding - can be due to natural calamities like storms or heavy rain or flooding of a river; an old and rusty pipe bursting, a tap left on, overflowing tanks, toilet backing up, sewage water coming in, or blocked gutters. In such cases, getting a professional company that takes care of commercial water damage restoration is imperative.
When water damage occurs, it is not just about removing the water. There is also the salvaging of property, documents, and other goods that may be present in the commercial property. Water can destroy everything causing huge losses of revenue to the company. Many lives get affected when a commercial building gets affected by water damage.
