Preventing Commercial Water Damage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Though some cases of commercial water damage are out of our control, others are not. There are several ways to prevent commercial water damage from happening at your business. It all starts with research. FEMA has a fantastic tool accessible to all called the <\/span>Flood Map Service Center<\/span><\/a>. This tool will help you by showing if your business is in a flood zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you may think you would be made aware of your business being in a flood zone, many states do not require this information. If your business is in a flood zone, then it would be best to prepare ahead of time in case of emergency. Natural disasters are an unfortunate part of life. In the United States during 2019, there were <\/span>9 floods and 49 severe thunderstorms<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major rain storms aren\u2019t the only kind of storms that can cause commercial water damage, either, though. Severe snow storms are also perfectly capable of wreaking havoc on businesses and residential areas. Statistically speaking, an <\/span>average of 14,000 Americans<\/span><\/a> experience some form of water damage every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your business is located within a flood zone, now is the time to prepare. Be sure to have equipment like sandbags and protective window barriers to help protect your business. Another big part of helping prevent major commercial water damage is by knowing your business\u2019 building. Things like disconnecting valves for water, gas, and electricity can help prevent further damage in the building. If you\u2019re in a flood zone, maintenance is also key to preventing commercial flood damage. Be sure to frequently check for cracks around the perimeter of the building and seal them up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another unlikely hero to preventing floods is a flourishing, native landscape. Taking care of the soil around the building is important. The soil around your business is actually a defense mechanism. When soil is healthy and thriving it can help prevent a flood by allowing flood waters to drain much more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n
