SERVPRO Can Help You Avoid the Risks That Come With Water Intrusion Into Business Premises
Water intrusion may not be one of the things that you lose sleep over if you operate a retail store in Little Rock. However, when an incident happens, it can quickly turn from an inconvenience to a nightmarish situation with many issues to resolve. For instance, the presence of water can lead to unexpected damage to stock. Slick floors also create slip hazards, and if someone is injured, you might compensate them.
Resolving water damage in your Little Rock retail store is essential to address issues that might interfere with your business directly or indirectly. Seeking professional assistance may be necessary for a faster or thorough resolution of the problem. SERVPRO technicians can help you identify all problems and resolve them easily. This is possible by taking preventive steps in the early stages then following up with a thorough restoration.
Some essential preventive steps include:
- Containing electrical hazards
- Minimizing slip and trip hazards
- Halting moisture migration
Some water leaks, especially from the ceiling or walls, are likely to reach the wiring systems. Turning off electricity eliminates the chances of shorts or shock. It is possible to cut off electricity to the entire building or just the affected areas at the power distribution box. Our SERVPRO teams are equipped with portable generators to run electric equipment for restoration tasks without exposing anyone to electrical hazards.
Although water makes many hard floor materials such as tiles slippery, the danger might not be readily apparent. Apart from helping extract standing water faster and dry wet areas, our SERVPRO crews also have warning signs that we can deploy all over your property, helping warn customers and staff of the imminent danger. That way, we can focus on moisture control to halt the deterioration of contents and structural materials.
