Are you a storefront business owner that has recently suffered minor or extensive water damage?
Water damage can come from all different kinds of sources.
It could be something small like a leaking drain pipe.
It also could be something major like a busted water line.
Contrary to what you might intuitively guess, the smaller leaks and drips can sometimes cause more damage than a busted water line that is flooding water into a space.
As a storefront business owner, your revenues depend on being able to operate your business. If you have customers that come in your store, and you have extensive water damage, most likely you will have to close the doors and stop operating the business until the problem has been resolved.
Some businesses have products that can become damaged. A store full of product on the store floor could result in hundreds or even thousands of dollars in losses. A business may have the store insured for loss to the building itself, but sometimes business owners don’t have their products inside the store insured as well.
When it comes to water damage, getting to the problem sooner, rather than later, is essential. The faster that we can get there and remove the water and dry the space out, including any product that might have come in contact with water, the higher the likelihood that we can salvage the space and the products within it.
As mentioned before, sometimes the smaller leaks that go unnoticed can cause more damage than the giant leaks that flood water into a space.
A small and slow leak that drips in between the walls and goes unnoticed can cause extensive damage. This is because a small drip that isn’t seen doesn’t do much damage at first. However, over time, that slow drip starts to eat through drywall and to the baseboards and flooring, and sometimes, by the time the water damage finally exposes itself into the open area of your store, a lot of damage has been caused.
