Common Water Issues That May Affect Your Building

Leaking pipes are a hassle for any commercial property owner. Without proper maintenance and timely repairs, damage and subsequent cleanup can be costly and time-consuming. Stay on top of water issues and address them as they arise. Common water issues that may affect your building in Harrisonville, MO, are:

1. Foundation Damage
Damage to the foundation of a building can lead to major problems if left unchecked. Plumbing issues are often at fault for foundation damage. As tree roots grow, they may intrude on pipes and affect the plumbing system. Plumbing issues can cause poor drainage and soil displacement that can then weaken the foundation and cause it to shift and crack. The compromised foundation can then lead to additional plumbing issues as well as loss of structural integrity and cracks in the walls of your building.

2. Deteriorated Sewer Lines
Noticeable sewer gas odors, frequent toilet backup issues, and commonly clogged drains may be indicators that sewer lines in your commercial building have deteriorated. Sewer backups can be a serious and messy issue. Cleanup can be very unpleasant. Professional sewage cleanup and restoration services may be of help in addressing this distasteful problem.

3. Water Pipe Damage
A burst pipe can cause extensive property damage. Occasionally these leaks are not immediately noticeable. Bulging walls and water-stained ceiling tiles may be indicators that something has happened to the pipes that are out of your sight. Investigate these situations when they arise to identify leaking pipes as soon as possible. Address a pipe break immediately to minimize the amount of water damage to floors, ceilings, and walls. Initiate cleanup procedures as soon as possible to lessen the chance of a mold or mildew infestation.
Plumbing issues, leaking pipes, and toilet backups should be addressed in a commercial property as soon as problems are detected. The sooner problems are fixed, the less damage to the property.
