Water Damage Prevention Tools

6/13/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio has the equipment and tools to help dry out the water damage in your business!

Excess water damage can devastate a building especially if gone undetected.  Water leak detection systems are available to help identify leaks, which can help prevent them from becoming floods. 

Water Alarms:  Water alarms are typically battery-operated stand-alone systems that contain a moisture sensor that will activate an audible alarm when moisture is detected.  Benefits of water alarms include accessibility and price.  They can be placed under sinks or near individual appliances such as washers, refrigerators, hot water heaters, etc., and are fairly inexpensive and easy to install.  However, the water monitoring device is only beneficial if someone is inside the building to hear the alarms and take appropriate actions to stop the leak.

Water Systems:  While water alarms simply notify you of a leak, water systems will actually shut off the water supply causing water damage.  Individual appliance systems are installed in specific appliances and will automatically shut off the water supply in the event that the appliance has a leak.  Whole house systems operate in a similar fashion except that the shut-off valve is installed on the main water supply line versus an individual appliance.  This system is most popular and beneficial to homeowners that travel often or reside in multiple properties seasonally throughout the year.

SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio specializes in the cleanup and restoration of commercial property after a water damage event. Our staff is highly trained in property damage restoration. From initial and ongoing training at SERVPRO’s corporate training facility to regular IICRC-industry certification, rest assured our staff is equipped with the knowledge to restore your property.

Winter Comercial Pipe Concerns

1/11/2021 (Permalink)

The New Year has surely brought colder temperatures to Texas.   Winter weather can bring beautiful snow (like some parts of Texas experienced this past weekend) but this weather can also cause other issues.   Having temperatures below freezing can risk frozen pipes, which can create a disaster to your home or business.

Frozen pipes occur when exposed to cold weather, such as those outside your house, or in areas such as attics, garages, or kitchen cabinets.  A frozen pipe can burst at the point where the ice blockage inside the pipe is located, but typically the rupture is caused by the backflow of pressure between the water source and the blockage.

If winter weather causes water damage to your home or business give SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio a call.  Our IICRC Certified technicians have years of experience and equipment to restore your home or business to the preloss conditions.  SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio is always here to help!

Toilet Overflow

2/26/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio is always here to help!

Common toilet problems and plumbing issues can lead to water damage in a business.  Over time, plumbing issues can cause quite a bit of problems if not maintained regularly.  By taking care of toilet issues as soon as possible plumbing problems occur is the best way to prevent further related water damage. If this is not taken care immediately costly repairs may appear.  The following may cause toilets to overflow in your business:

• A drain line becomes clogged
  • The septic field is not percolating
  • Sewer damage occurs somewhere in the system’s lines due to issues such as tree roots or foreign objects causing a clog
  • A low flow toilet is not able to handle the demands of your household
  • The trap between the drain line and the toilet bowl becomes blocked

If you were to experience a toilet overflow in your business, it is best to dry up the accumulated water in the affected areas.  However, depending on the extent of the leak caused by a toilet overflow, consider calling a company that specializes in restoration.  Here at SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio, we provide appropriate safety measures and steps during the cleanup process and will restore your business quickly!

Small Water Damages Become Nightmare for Business

SERVPRO of Northeast San Antonio has the equipment and tools to help dry out the water damage in your business!

What happens when those small water damages go unnoticed, or moisture soaks into a building’s structural components where it cannot be detected by the naked eye?  These incidents may sound relatively harmless, but given time, excess moisture can lead to serious problems. 

In as little as 24 to 48 hours, microscopic mold spores, naturally present in all structures, can grow into visible mold.  Fueled by the moisture, these fungi feed on a variety of building subcomponents including wood, paint, paper, carpet padding, and contents. 

While the debate rages on regarding impact mold have on human health, mold and mildew growth are recognized as major contributors to indoor air quality problems.  These nightmares happen every day as a direct result of those small water damages that gradually take their toll on buildings and homes.  The recipe for disaster is the combination of excess moisture, a food source for mold found in organic building materials (such as wood, drywall, some types of insulation), and a time delay in removing the moisture.
