The causes of commercial flood damage in Dallas are tough to mitigate against because they can come from many different sources. Internal plumbing is used far more by staff and customers in commercial businesses than in residences. In older commercial properties a pipe can eventually burst, particularly during cold periods of the year when pipes are at a higher risk of freezing.
When water freezes, it expands weakening the structural integrity of uninsulated metal pipes- which are surprisingly common in commercial warehouses. When a pipe does eventually burst, it can release up to 400 gallons of water an hour into your property, damaging stock, furnishings, and forcing temporary closure. The weight of this volume of water can significantly weaken floors or structure in your workplace, making it unsafe to work in and forcing temporary closure.
Professional attention should be sought immediately after a burst pipe. Shutting off the supply of water is essential to limiting losses, but so is having an established strategy for removal. SERVPRO technicians are experienced in large loss claims and can drain water from the property in a matter of hours by using truck-mounted extraction units and pumping equipment. Once excess water is removed we can begin to tackle residual moisture- this process can take longer- but it is essential to ensuring that secondary issues like mold growth do not cause another closure and more loss of revenue.
The impact of flood damage on your commercial business can be widespread, trust a professional restorer to return your business to its preloss condition. Contact SERVPRO of Northwest Dallas at (214) 361-7887 today.
