Water Damage Can Cause Problems For A Rock Hill Commercial Property

Water Damage in Rock Hill Can Cause Different Problems For A Commercial Property

Water can cause damage to a home. However, commercial water damage in Rock Hill can be catastrophic. Commercial buildings are large and may have a lot of specialized equipment inside of them. That is why commercial water damage presents different issues from residential water damage.

One of the biggest differences between residential and commercial structure is the size. Residential homes are typically a few thousand square feet. At most, they are three stories high. However, commercial buildings can have tens of stories and hundreds of thousands of square feet. If a pipe bursts in the eighth floor, and it cascades down to the other floors, then this can result in a huge mess. Many  companies may say that they can handle residential and commercial water damage. However, they may not have the equipment necessary for drying out multiple floors.  SERVPRO has the equipment and expertise.

Another major difference between residential and commercial water damage in Rock Hill is the amount of equipment and furniture involved. For example, if a company is attempting to dry out the carpet inside of a commercial building, then they may be required to remove several desks. They may have to work around sensitive equipment that cannot be removed. 

The intricacies of a commercial building also make water damage restoration very difficult to perform. A commercial building may have a firewall. This firewall can make it difficult to dry and test for moisture. It can also be difficult to remove wet insulation. A commercial building may have extensive ventilation systems. All of these systems should be inspected for damage.

If a building suffers commercial water damage in Rock Hill and needs to be restored, then you will need to contact a professional water restoration company. SERVPRO has a track record of successfully handling commercial restoration jobs.
