Common Water Damage Problems

Storm

Storms can be scary, especially if you're unprepared for severe weather. High winds can remove shingles from the roof or blow drifting debris into your commercial property. If you have clogged gutters or drainage areas, storm rains can cause them to overflow which can cause a number of problems if unattended.

Broken Pipe

Often times building maintenance can be swept under the rug. A business can suffer serious water damage due to damaged pipes or pipes that burst. Leaking pipes can leave puddles of water in areas area bathrooms, employee break rooms, service sinks, and emergency eyewash stations. As soon as you recognize that there is a leak, it is important to have the problem fixed as quickly as possible. 

If left unattended, leaking pipes can lead to consequential secondary damages. For example, if mold spores are exposed to moisture, mold will begin to grow. Thankfully our SERVPRO technicians are certified in commercial antimicrobial remediation. 

Flood

Similarly to storms, there are a number of ways that flooding can occur. Flooding can come about from broken pipes, faulty sprinkler systems, sewer back ups, and drainage overflows. It is important to recognize that because the path of water flow is difficult to trace in a flood, flood water is classified as black water. Black water, once cleaned up, requires certain sanitation steps to be followed. Luckily, SERVPRO of Minnetonka is capable of commercial water damage restoration and biohazard cleanup.
