When water damage strikes your facility, SERVPRO of East Mecklenburg/Matthews are your local experts who can respond immediately.

Undetected water leaks are a significant source of property damage in commercial spaces. While floods often get the majority of attention when it comes to water damage, a broken pipe or leaky roof may cause considerable water damage to all types of commercial facilities.

Detecting a leak immediately is critical, and water-detecting technology is an ever-developing tool to prevent serious damage from occurring at your business. Utilizing leak detectors in the disaster reduction strategy for your property will enable you to respond swiftly to a water leak event and, as a result, minimize water damage and save money on repairs.

You see, the longer a leak continues, the higher the risk of water damage. Makes sense, right? But many leaks in commercial spaces go unnoticed.

Water damage, especially hidden water leaks, can cause all kinds of issues to your property, including structural damage that requires significant repairs and replacement expenses. Oftentimes, water issues are a major issue, compelling workers or tenants to relocate. All that said, there is no doubt that water leaks are certain to create all kinds of disruptions to your business.

A water leak detection system alerts of a leak quickly. It’s especially helpful when when workers are not on-site or water sources are tucked in less visible regions of the facility.

Today’s commercial water leak detection systems assist you in identifying and responding to water leaks via the use of sensors that transmit warnings to designated responders on-site or off-site. It is critical to turn off the water supply immediately upon detection of a leak, regardless of whether the source has been located.

The wonderful thing about this system is that it can be programmed to shut off valves automatically, preventing serious damage to your building, especially when no one is there to turn it off. 

There are many different types of water detection systems you can consider for your facility. It might be the difference between a serious and an interruptive issue for your business.

When water damage strikes your facility, you have local, specialized experts who can respond immediately to any size issue. SERVPRO of East Mecklenburg/Matthews is here to help 24 hours a day and seven days a week so there is never any need to delay.
