How to Deal with Water Damage in Your Business

2/13/2022 (Permalink)

The average cost of a bathroom fixture leak surpasses $10,000. Plumbing leaks cost an average of $17,000 to repair. Water may degrade carpeting, furniture, and other home items, as well as destroy electrical devices and cause mold to grow. Aside from the filth, annoyance, and cost, polluted water and mold can cause health problems in those who are exposed to them.

Aside from contacting a damage restoration professional as soon as possible, one insurer suggests the following things to take if a plumbing fixture, appliance, or roof springs a leak:
If water is coming from a pipe, turn off the main water valve.
When a significant water event occurs, turn off the electricity and gas supplies.
On damp surfaces, do not use electrical equipment.
To circulate air, turn on fans.

Move wet property to dry locations.
Remove wet-area rugs, but leave tacked-down carpeting in place.
Clean your wet clothes.
Wipe excess water off of furniture and other belongings.
Be on the look-out for sharp debris, snakes, rodents and other critters.
