Often times business owners may think and visualize water damage in the work place occurring after a massive storm that floods through offices; shutting down their business for days, even weeks. While that is sometimes true, there are many other causes of water damages.

Here are some typical causes of water damage in the workplace: Plumbing and/or a broken pipe is extremely common. Sometimes a pipe can give way for no specific reason. Due to weather changes, the pipe may expand and contract causing it to burst or pop. Specifically, sprinkler systems in unconditioned air space. Sewer lines in bathrooms can get backed up for numerous reasons. Should you encounter a sewage back up, know the potential dangers of category 3/black water that can cause health issues.
