Efficient Repairs for Glastonbury Businesses Following Water Leaks
Water damage at your Glastonbury office is a nuisance. Sometimes the damage could be brought about by weather-related issues, such as a leaky roof. Other times it could be due to an operational problem, such as toilet overflows, ruptured pipes, or equipment condensation. Some of these events cannot be avoided. However, a clear assessment of the risks at your facility and the right company can significantly prevent the damages incurred.
The effect of water damage at a Glastonbury workplace can add up to some hefty bills, especially if the issue is not addressed quickly. The cost includes repair or replacement of damaged items important to the office operations and the costs of water extraction, cleanup, and restoration of the building. SERVPRO® has the right tools to tackle the problems, which significantly improves our response in both quality and efficiency. We understand that a leak in the wrong place can shut down production or displace office workers; hence respond rapidly to minimize downtime.
Office losses can arise from
- Damage to office equipment and furniture
- Destruction of computer files and paper records
- Loss of income in case of a shutdown
When an office is afflicted by water, there could be damage to equipment and other office items. SERVPRO teams help move furniture and equipment to a dry area, where we can disinfect and dry safely. If computers have been exposed to water, we recommend a qualified electrician evaluate the equipment before operating them.
The dangers
Unaddressed damage in your place of work may destroy its appearance or make you look unprofessional. Discoloration, cracks in the foundation, warping, swollen floors, and peeling or bubbling paint does not only challenge the structural integrity of your business. You could accidentally be relaying a message of laziness, inefficiency, and inability to solve problems.
Secondary water damage in offices
- Poor indoor air quality
- Mold growth
