Maintaining Your Commercial Building to Avoid a Water Damage

8/18/2022 (Permalink)

Our goal first and foremost is to inform you on how to prevent a water damage but we will be there day or night if you do!

Pay special attention to areas of the building where leaks are most likely to occur:

• HVAC system
• Toilets, faucets, and plumbing system
• Windows
• Building foundation
• Sewers
• Sprinkler systems

Document the age and maintenance records for all building systems. Knowing your building equipment’s age – and having them regularly serviced and updated – can save you time and money down the road. It can also help you keep track of equipment warranties.

Your first sign of a water issue could be in your water bills. A small 1/8” crack in a pipe loses 250 gallons of water in a single day.

Signs of a water leak include:

• Dark or wet spots
• Cracking, bubbling, or flaking drywall, plaster, or wallpaper
• Pooling water or puddles
• Dampness or humidity in the air
• Sounds of dripping or gushing water

Consider installing a water sensor monitoring system at your business. There are different models and options available.
