PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE MAY STOP WATER DAMAGE
ACCIDENTS
Get into the habit of inspecting certain elements
throughout your commercial place on a regular
basis. For example, inspect the gutters, roof,
plumbing lines, and drains. Have an expert
inspect your building once or twice a year to
help ensure everything is in proper condition.
7
ROOF LEAKS ARE A COMMON SOURCE OF COMMERCIAL
WATER DAMAGE
Just a small roof leak can cause major damage in
a commercial building, even if the roof is in
excellent condition. Areas with severe wind,
freezing temperatures and hail are more
susceptible to roof leaks.
8
EVEN MINOR EXISTING LEAKS CAN LEAD TO MAJOR
PROBLEMS
If you fail to fix small plumbing malfunctions,
you can cause major water damage. If you don't
maintain your plumbing properly, your insurance
company may not cover the costs associated with
normal wear and tear.
9
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WATER CONTAMINATION
There are three types of water contamination
white water, gray water, and black water. The
appropriate safety procedures depend on the type
of contamination. For that reason, its best to
leave the water extraction, clean-up, and
restoration to the professionals.
10
YOUR INSURANCE MAY NOT COVER ALL TYPES OF WATER
DAMAGE
Some insurance policies will cover sudden water
damage, but there may be exclusions that apply.
Typically, a standard policy does not cover flood
damage at all. If this is the case for you, it's
a good idea to familiarize yourself with your
policy so you know what to expect if you need to
make a claim for sudden water damage.
11
YOU MAY NEED TO PURCHASE A SEPARATE FLOOD
INSURANCE POLICY
There are different insurance policies for water
damage and flooding. If you live in an area prone
to flooding, you may need to purchase a
standalone flood insurance policy. Talk to your
insurance agent to determine what coverage you
need.
12
IF WATER DAMAGE OCCURS, CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE
COMPANY IMMEDIATELY
When you have a commercial water damage problem,
call your insurance company right away so that
your insurance agent can begin filing a claim.
Your company can also guide you through the
initial steps you'll need to take to keep your
property safe and dry.
13
TIMELINESS IS A NECESSITY
When water damage threatens your property,
knowing what to do to clean up can make a
tremendous difference. The sooner you begin the
cleanup process, the less damage there will be.
14
EXTRACTION IS THE BEST APPROACH TO MITIGATING
WATER DAMAGE
Extracting excess water after a major leak,
flood, or another problem occurs can keep your
building's structure in good condition. That's
why you need the experts at ServiceMaster
Restore. We know how to reduce the amount of
water damage that happens, even if hidden
moisture underneath flooring or in the walls is a
problem.
15
DIFFERENT MATERIALS REQUIRE DIFFERENT CLEANING
PROTOCOLS
When water damage occurs, certain materials may
be salvageablesuch as concrete and hard
surfaces. However, others may need to be
completely discarded, such as ceiling tiles and
cellulose insulation. Getting rid of mold
effectively can help prevent a strong mold smell
from permeating your home after water damage has
occurred.
16
PROBLEMS MAY NOT END WHEN THE WATER IS GONE
Even after the water is mopped up, moisture can
hide in walls and floors, eventually leading to
mold growth. It's important to have a mold
prevention specialist inspect your building to
ensure mold isnt growing on or through your
property.
17
MOLD CAN GROW QUICKLY
Mold can grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours
after there has been water damage. You should try
to fix the excess water, moisture, and humid
conditions in your home or business as soon as
possible after the incident.
