Commercial Water Damage Prevention

5/5/2022 (Permalink)

Taking the necessary measures to prevent water damage can save you from costly repairs and business interruption in the future. Since water damage can come from a variety of sources, it’s essential to have the building inspected regularly to prevent leaks and related issues.

CREATE A FLOOD MONITORING SYSTEM

Regardless of whether your business is located in a flood-prone area, make sure you have an efficient flood warning system in place. Flooding can result from other causes, including plumbing failures, overflowing rivers, and melting snow.

GET ENOUGH COVERAGE FOR YOUR PROPERTY

Flooding is not usually included in property insurance policies. Water damage restoration can be very expensive. Water damage insurance can help you deal with the costs if ever your property gets damaged by a flood in the future.

CONDUCT A WATER DAMAGE INSPECTION REGULARLY

Water damage prevention is a lot cheaper than restoration. To prevent water damage from getting worse, have professionals inspect your property at least once a year. Leak detection is performed in several ways, such as humidity monitoring and the use of spot sensors.

INVEST IN FACILITY MAINTENANCE

A preventative maintenance plan should help keep your commercial building safe and secure and contribute to your water leak prevention efforts. Different parts of a commercial building should be inspected at different intervals. For example, doors, windows, and gates should be checked each year for weariness while the roof can be coated every five years or so to prevent damage.
