Water stains on a ceiling could be a sign you have an issue with your roof or a leaking pipe.

Whether you own a multi-story building in the heart of Lexington or a small one-man shop in Thomasville, water damage can cause severe issues with your property as well as your business continuity. The best way to counteract these concerns is to address any problems you have as soon as possible to handle most of the potential issues you could face if the issue is ignored.

• Damaged Sprinkler System. Many commercial properties require a sprinkler system, but damage ad malfunctions could cause massive flooding in your property like anything else age.
• Roof/Window Leaks. Roofs and Windows are designed to protect the occupants and their possessions from the elements. But external elements can wear these items and cause water leaks from rain and snow.
• HVAC Systems. While your HVAC was designed to keep you or your renters comfortable, a poorly maintained system can cause water and mold damage.
• Damage Appliances or Pipes. Many commercial properties have water heaters, washing machines, and faucets. An undetected water lea could release a massive amount of water before the leak is detected.
• Storm Damage. Regardless of where your commercial property is located, Mother Nature can cause terrible damage. From tornadoes and hurricanes to something simple as heavy rains, Mother Nature can easily cause tens of thousands of dollars in structural damage.
