Call SERVPRO of Anniston for all of you commercial water damage needs.

Water damages happen every day all over the world. Here in the Anniston, Gadsden and Marshall County area the numbers are smaller, but they still happen. With all of the factories and manufacturing and processing plants we decided to write a blog on commercial water damages and the causes of these water damages. 

One of the causes is damaged plumbing and broken pipes. Whether it is accidents, age of the plumbing, freezing temperatures, or some other cause these things happen. 

Sprinkler systems in large commercial buildings can pose serious problems when they malfunction. A pipe could leak. A sensor could break or malfunction causing the system come come on when it is not needed. 

Equipment and appliances that break can cause serious water damage as well. Imagine if the water heater leaks or the air conditioner. What about the washing machines or dishwashers. 

Sewage back ups are another common cause of water damage in commercial buildings. How many toilets are in a high rise office building?
