How to Reduce Water Damage Risks in Commercial Properties

Preventive maintenance

• Inspect roofs and drains, especially before winter
• Service sprinkler systems as required
• Check washroom and kitchen supply lines
• Keep inventory off lower-level floors

Have an emergency plan

• Know where water shut-offs are and who can access them
• Keep a contact list for plumbers, restoration and building management
• Protect critical equipment and records

Respond quickly

After-hours leaks can go unnoticed until morning. Water sensors and a 24/7 restoration contact help limit the impact on operations.
