HERE ARE A FEW CAUSES OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING WATER DAMAGE

A sprinkler head can leak or even break and cause tremendous damage to your commercial building.

1. Sprinkler System Leaks.  You should regularly inspect your sprinkler system for leaks or any moisture.  Wet surfaces and wet drywall can be a sign of a sprinkler system leak.
2. Poor drainage systems to your foundation can also cause water damage. Gutters can be clogged and puddles can form around the building foundation.
3. Broken pipes due to freezing temperatures, leaking supply lines or sewer drain leaks can cause water damage.
4. Sewer water due to a backup can come thru toilets or the drain. This water may contain bacteria that could cause illness.
5. A leaking roof can cause water damage, especially during storms or heavy snow. A roof may also have ice backup damage due to the snow melting and refreezing.
6. Windows may also be damaged or missing some caulk for sealing out the weather.

These are just a few of the many ways a commercial building can experience water damage.  If your building or business has water damage, call SERVPRO of Medina County/Gateway/Western Lake County at 800-933-7179.
