Inspect your roof and plumbing regularly for leaks and signs of wear.

Avoiding the Need for Commercial Water Damage in Your Tampa Business

Owning a jewelry business in Tampa means you need to keep up with regular maintenance to avoid things such as water damage. Your building requires general upkeep and inspections to keep everything in working order.  Should you fail to take care of your building, you could be dealing with a severe water loss that was likely preventable.  

Commercial water damage in your Tampa business can take shape in many different ways. Whether it is a roof leak, burst pipes, or a malfunctioning sprinkler system, you need help from the professionals at SERVPRO to dry everything out and get your business back on track.  

Roofs come in all sizes and apes, but one thing they all share is that they are exposed to the elements at all times. Whether it is driving winds, the sun is beating down, or torrential rain, your roof is always being affected by the weather.  Not maintaining your roof subjects it to leaks, which if left untouched, can cause significant water damage inside your shop. SERVPRO techs can help find the leak and clean up the damage which resulted.  

Your air conditioner should be serviced regularly as well. It naturally creates moisture whenever it is running, which, let's face it, is almost all year round in Florida. If there is a problem with the unit, such as a clogged drain or dirty filter, additional water can build up, and it can overflow into your building. Many commercial buildings even have AC units on the roof, so this can compound the damage done.  

Your water heater as well can suffer maintenance issues. Leaks from rusty or loose components, such as valves, are more common as the water heater gets older. However, that is minor compared to what can happen if there is an explosion. Contents under pressure can be hazardous. We also recommend monitoring your plumbing. Blockages in your plumbing can create extra stress in particular areas which could eventually lead to a burst pipe.  

SERVPRO of West Tampa is always standing by to assist you when your business in Rocky Point, Tampa, or Town n Country experiences a water damage emergency. Hopefully, with regular maintenance, you can avoid any major disasters, but if you need our help, call us anytime at (813) 855-0888.
