Vandalism is the intentional damage and defacement of property without the owner’s consent. It is unimaginable to think that someone would deliberately cause harm to your business or commercial business, but the reality is there are many people that do partake in this behavior.

If your property or business was a victim of vandalism be sure to report it immediately to your local police department. Vandalism usually begets more vandalism so be sure to contact the experts of SERVPRO of North Huntsville to take care of the issue right away.

Buildings and properties that are unkept are a bigger target for vandalism. Be sure to keep your property tidy and well-lit. Even consider installing cameras to record perpetrators in the case of an incident.

Dealing With Water Damage at a Commercial Building

Dealing With Water Damage at a Commercial Building

Water can cause quite a bit of destruction in a short amount of time. Whether it is due to broken pipes or flooding, water damage needs to be dealt with immediately.

Determining the Cause

There are a variety of ways water can sneak into your building and cause damage. The sooner you can locate the problem the sooner you can implement water cleanup procedures. Damage may be due to:

• Flooding
• Bursting pipes
• Leaking Roof
• Malfunctioning HVAC system
• Backed-up water main/sewer

Once you know the source of the water, you can determine what to do next. If it is gray or black water, you are dealing with a much more serious issue. You will most likely need to call a water mitigation specialist in Huntsville. Clean water sources can still cause a lot of damage if left unattended, but these types of issues aren’t associated with disease and bacteria.

Flood or Sewage Damage

Flood or sewage backup may contain deadly bacteria that could lead to illness or death. You will need to go beyond simply eliminating the moisture. Certified restoration companies have the appropriate equipment and expertise to deal with the situation. When dealing with a commercial building, it is imperative to reestablish a safe environment for employees and customers.

Clean Water Damage

If you aren’t dealing with gray or black water, the cleanup is a little easier. It is important to dry the area out quickly. Building materials and insulation can wick moisture behind walls and lead to mold. Proper cleanup may require flood cuts and bringing in industrial size fans and dehumidifiers. Professional services are helpful in these situations as well.

If you are dealing with damage from flooding or other water sources, take care of the problem as expeditiously as possible. You want to prevent as much further damage as possible. Call SERVPRO of North Huntsville at (256) 534-1177 for all your water damage needs.
