common causes of water damage in commercial
properties.
3DAMAGED 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.
4DAMAGED 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.
5Damaged 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.
6DAMAGED 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.
7SEWER 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.
8SPRINKLER 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.
