Water damage can close your business. SERVPRO knows how to quickly remediate the damage.

SERVPRO Provides Water Removal Services to Local Business Regardless of the Cause

When it comes to commercial businesses and water damage, many people think in terms of storm flooding. However, situations such as hidden leaks, overflows, and other water intrusions can cause damage. It may even force you to close for a time, which is never good for business. 

Causes of Water Damage in Commercial Buildings

If you know what to watch for, you can do a better job at preventing problems. Here are some things that can result in a commercial enterprise needing water removal in Lafayette:

• Pipes– Leaky pipes can be a problem in a building, but especially if you are in an older building.
• Faucets– Minor drips may seem insignificant but can lead to more significant issues. Dripping water can do damage over time.
• Spills– Spills, particularly in places where large amounts of fluids are used, such as kitchens, can cause water damage. 
• Damaged appliances– Again, this is more common in restaurants and similar businesses. Appliances that use water in large amounts can contribute to flooding.
• Sprinkler systems – Outdated sprinklers can malfunction. Sprinklers that go off when there is no fire can harm business assets and inventory.

These are just a few examples of situations that can cause a water intrusion in a business. SERVPRO of Lafayette can mitigate water damage of any proportion. We provide water removal services to any size business. Contact us at (766) 420-0077 for more information.
