Let SERVPRO of Jefferson City be the one to help you with your commercial water damage

There are more causes for water damage to businesses than flooding from heavy spring rains or water backup from winter ice dams.  Some of the causes of water damage to commercial buildings occurs right inside the workplace.

1. Malfunctioning Sprinkler Systems – Some older office and retail buildings still have outdated sprinkler systems that work in conjunction with fire protection systems.  While sprinklers can come in handy during a fire emergency, they can also cause commercial flood damage if they are faulty or in need of replacement.  This could easily damage inventory and business assets.
2. Damaged Appliances and Equipment – This cause of commercial flood damage is common in businesses that have appliances and equipment that make use of water, such as restaurants or catering facilities.
3. Broken Pipes and Plumbing– Just like in a residence. If the plumbing system in your workplace fails, water damage could be the result.
4. Backed up Sewer Lines – This is another cause of commercial water damage that often catches business owners by surprise. Should the sewer line to your building back up or become damaged, realize the potential dangers of contaminated black water which can cause health effects and ruin products and office furnishings.
