Preventing Water Damage To Your Office

10/25/2023 (Permalink)

Your office is your place of business. It likely houses a lot of important documents, paperwork, technology, and equipment that you need to keep in tip-top shape. What happens when disaster strikes? Whether it is a broken pipe or a heavy rainstorm, water damage to your office can have tumultuous effects on your day-to-day operations. This situation is stressful, but that is why SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville is here to help pick up the pieces. Let’s discuss water damage risks to look out for and also how SERVPRO can specifically help with water damage restoration to your Nashville office. 

What Are Some Water Damage Risks Present In My Office? 

• Broken or Faulty Pipes: Checking your building regularly for older or corroding pipes can save you a world of trouble in the long haul. During the winter months, it is especially important to let faucets drip to lower the chances of pipes freezing and bursting! 
• Severe Weather: Nashville is no stranger to severe storms. Flooding can wreak havoc on local businesses, and severe rain can come in through unsealed windows and doors. Making sure your office is protected from the elements can be as simple as maintaining the entrances and openings in which water can get through. The last thing you want after experiencing a severe storm is to come to work and find water damage! 
• Malfunctioning Sprinkler Systems: Sprinkler systems can make all the difference during a fire, but if they go off accidentally, they can cause headaches and loss of important documents. This kind of malfunction is more common in older sprinkler systems, so regular maintenance is a key way to avoid such incidents. 
• Clogged Gutters: When gutters are backed up, the water will have nowhere to go but back into and down the sides of your business. Cleaning them regularly will make sure that water is directed away from your property when it rains.
