When water hits a business, the damage is measured in more than drywall and flooring — it affects staff, customers, inventory and the ability to stay open.
We help property managers and business owners respond to water losses with extraction, containment, drying and cleanup that is planned around safety and operations.
Common causes
- Sprinkler line leaks and discharges
- Roof and HVAC condensate leaks
- Washroom and kitchen plumbing failures
- Water migrating from neighbouring units
Warning signs
- Ceiling tile staining or sagging
- Wet carpet tiles near washrooms or kitchens
- Odours in storage or mechanical rooms
- Moisture complaints from tenants
Immediate safety steps
- Close off affected areas to staff and customers.
- Notify building management and your insurer.
- Keep electrical equipment away from wet areas.
