These customers found their office filled with water. They called us and we restored their business and helped them to re-open soon.

A water damage in a business can happen at any time of the day, even when the building is closed. For example, imagine coming to work on a Monday morning and finding your office supplies floating next to those important documents that you were going to fax, and those folders that were supposed to be file. Not a good picture, is it? And the sad part is that we have not even started thinking about the possible damages to the structure, and the closing time that your office may endure due to this incident. 

Before we start talking more about the unfortunate effects of a water loss, we want to make sure that you as a business owner understand the importance of acting fast when having this kind of incident. In other words, when your office suffers a water loss it is time to act! It is crucial that you not delay the process, make sure that everybody is safe, and make the important phone calls (Insurance and Restoration Company) because every minute counts and the damage can increase as the clock is ticking. We cannot stress this enough and the water damage timeline may help you to comprehend what can happen to your property if you delay to take action. First, within minutes water spreads throughout the property and is absorbed into walls, floors, and carpets. At the same time, your files, photos and paper goods are compromised. Second, within one to twenty four hours, drywall and furniture begins to swell and break down, a musty odor appears in the building, and metal surfaces begin to tarnish. Third, between forty eight hours to a week, Mold may grow and spread (increasing your recovery cost), metal begins to rust, wood flooring swells, furniture warps, and it is possible that a serious biohazard contamination develops. Finally, after more than one week, the damage to the property will be extensive, the cost of the recovery will increase substantially as well as the time that the business may need to close operations. As you can see it is important to prevent further damage by calling your insurance and a restoration company that cares.
