Homeowners have to deal with many things which may include water damage. Contact SERVPRO right away.

SERVPRO Performs Commercial Water Damage Restoration for Landlords All Year Round.

Who is Liable for Water Issues on Business Premises?

In most cases, the leaseholder for your Newark properties is responsible for ensuring that water issues do not cause long-term or permanent harm to the building. Problems like these can sour relations with your tenants while causing your property to fall into disrepair. Unfortunately, water leaks get worse, and what may be a minor issue that could transform into a significant rebuild without professional intervention. Our technicians are qualified water restorers that have experience working with landlords in the community. 

Do tenants need to leave the property during water restoration?

The inconvenience of property repair can sometimes outweigh the need for water damage restoration in your Newark property. SERVPRO works around the needs of landlords and tenants to deliver a satisfactory result for both. We prioritize recovery in areas of the home that require regular usages like bathrooms and kitchens. By restoring these areas first before moving onto other areas, we can ensure that there is little inconvenience to either you or your tenants. In minor to moderate water problems, we can usually work in an occupied building or flat. 

How do I communicate with commercial restorers?

- Contact our twenty four hour operator to arrange a callout

- A crew chief can is available for direct communication throughout service

- We record and share our paperwork with you and your insurer

Is carpet cleaning included with restoration?

Sometimes persistent water issues can cause carpets to become soggy or otherwise unsanitary. Our technicians have a range of carpet cleaning techniques for minor to severe damages. In most commercial properties, we can combine hot water extraction with rotary buffing and conditioner to return your carpets to their preloss condition. If there is damage to laminate or fiber, we can remove, replace, and reinstall the carpet during service. 

If your tenants are complaining of a persistent water issue, contact SERVPRO of Newark at (302) 733-7933 today.
