How to Protect Your Business from Water Damage

Whether it’s a slow, hidden leak, a huge catastrophic leak, or an appliance overflow, water damage can wreak havoc on your business. Preventing water damage from occurring in your business will help you protect it from structural damage and mold growth. There are several precautions you can take to help protect it from devastating water damage.

Check your hoses and faucets that are connected to your appliances on an annual basis. This will be a preventative measure for leaks coming from your washing machine, dishwasher, or refrigerator. These large appliances use a lot of water, so a leak could be significant. When you check the hoses and faucets, look for cracks and water leaks.

Another thing you can do is install pans under your sinks. The pans will prevent damage by catching any water from small, slow, undetected leaks. If you are concerned about undetected leaks, you may want to consider investing in a water alarm. These alarms work similarly to smoke alarms, by detecting water and setting off an alarm when a water threat is detected.

If you experience water damage, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights right away for fast and effective clean-up and restoration services. 

How to Prevent Fire Damage in Your Commercial Property

As you are probably aware, fires can quickly destroy your building. There are several things every building should be equipped with to keep fires and fire damage at bay.

For example, fire extinguishers should be kept in strategic locations throughout, and everyone in the building should know how to use them properly. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be installed and should be checked regularly to make sure they have fresh batteries. Having a working smoke alarm greatly reduces the chances of extreme fire damage or injuries.

In the event of a fire, call SERVPRO of Alamo Heights for timely and professional fire damage restoration and cleanup services.

Prevent Mold Growth in Your Business

Begin the new year with the certainty that your office’s indoor air quality is healthy. Air purifiers and filters can help you effectively kill mold spores to make the air cleaner.

There are several things you should look for in a high-quality air filter. True HEPA filters are the superior choice, meeting high standards of air quality maintenance put in place by the U.S. Department of Energy standards. The abbreviation HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air, and for good reason. HEPA filters are capable of removing at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and other airborne particles. 

Monitoring the indoor humidity level will also help to prevent mold growth. Investing in an effective dehumidifier may be a good idea in areas of your business that are prone to elevated humidity levels, such as bathrooms. 

If mold growth occurs, contact SERVPRO of Alamo Heights for mold remediation services.
