1/12/2021 (Permalink)
For a commercial property owner, unexpected water problems can be a big issue. Fortunately, SERVPRO of Bethesda/ Potomac and SERVPRO of Chevy Chase/ Silver Spring professionals can help you assess, clean, and repair damages from any flooding or leaks you may have. Here are a few of the most common water problems a business may face from leaking pipes to foundation cracks.
Common Water problems
Pipe Breaks
A pipe break can occur in several ways. Over time, the pipe can age and loosen in its fittings, or extensive use can lead to pinhole leaks. Extreme heat or cold can also affect a pipe’s integrity. A blocked pipe can lead to pressure buildup and eventually burst.
Plumbing Backup
Blocked plumbing can even lead to a toilet backup or sink overflow. When a pipe is blocked, water can take the shortest path out regardless of its intended flow path. Blockages can occur from many things, including the buildup of water minerals over time inside a pipe or someone pouring a solidifying material, such as plaster or grease, down a drain.
Weather
Extreme weather conditions can also lead to leaking pipes. Cold temperatures can cause the water in pipes to freeze and expand. The expansion puts pressure on the pipe and can create a crack or even cause it to burst all together. If you know cold weather is coming, you can check with your local SERVPRO of Bethesda/ Potomac and SERVPRO of Chevy Chase/ Silver Spring professional about what preventive measures to take.
Foundation Cracks
Foundation cracks can also become a problem leading to water damage. Water can seep through any cracks and pool, leading to further issues such as mold. Any cracks should be investigated and assessed as soon as possible to determine the best course of action. Water damage can happen to a commercial property. Fortunately our SERVPRO of Bethesda/ Potomac and SERVPRO of Chevy Chase/ Silver Spring, professional can fix the damage caused by leaking pipes, foundation cracks, backed up toilet, or weather, and help you repair your property.
