common causes of water damage in commercial
properties.
3
DAMAGED WINDOWS

• Commercial buildings often suffer from water
  damage. A common cause of this is unsealed
  windows, which allow moisture to enter the
  building. This moisture can cause mold to grow
  and wood and drywall to warp. Reducing exposure
  to moisture is one way to prevent this from
  happening. It is also important to reseal windows
  regularly as caulk can deteriorate over time.

DAMAGED PIPES

• Water pipes can break from a variety of causes,
  including pressure changes in the water supply
  lines and sewer drains, deterioration of pipes,
  and freezing temperatures. Bulging walls, water
  stains on walls or floors, cracked or loose
  tiles, and a musty smell are all signs of damaged
  pipes. Detecting leaky pipes is challenging but
  it usually requires some specialized water leak
  detection equipment.

5
Damaged HVAC System

• Maintaining a clean HVAC system is essential for
  keeping your commercial premises safe and
  comfortable for your employees and customers.
  Over time, HVAC ducts can begin to wear out or
  get damaged, which will lead to water leakage. In
  order to avoid these issues or spot them early,
  commercial HVAC systems should be regularly
  cleaned and maintained by a professional.

6
DAMAGED ROOF

• Roof damage can be caused by extreme weather,
  improper roof maintenance, or falling tree limbs.
  A damaged roof will result in leaking water that
  may cause secondary damages to the ceiling such
  as mold damage. Be sure to regularly check your
  roof for signs of damage and provide maintenance
  as needed.

SEWER CLOGS

• Sewer water contains bacteria and other pathogens
  that cause illnesses and infections. If you see
  signs of sewage damage, such as gurgling sounds
  or water backing up out of the drain or toilet,
  you should call water damage and restoration
  professional immediately.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM LEAKS

• Other causes of water damage in commercial
  buildings are leaks in sprinkler systems. Signs
  of sprinkler leaks include wet surfaces like
  drywall and carpets, presence of mold and mildew,
  and standing water. Regularly inspect your
  sprinkler systems for leaks and moisture.
