Wide spread water loss in a commercial building

Commercial water damage is often far more extensive than in homes. If you consider the size and complexity of the mechanical systems used in these structures it's no surprise that water damage is a serious concern for business owners.

The two most common causes of commercial water losses are roof damage and plumbing issues, such as a burst pipe or faulty sprinkler system.

Roof damage that causes water leaks can be detrimental to a business as it can take a significant amount of time to discover there is even an issue. In many instances by the time the issues is found there is already mold growth or even damage to expensive equipment. 

If you believe your facility may be experiencing a water leak you can look for these telltale signs: water stains near piped areas, musty smells developing, or standing water that collects and drips pools of water on the floor. 

Once a water leak has been confirmed and stopped your next move should be to contact an experienced and qualified water restoration professional such as SERVPRO® of Bullitt & North Nelson Counties.
