Water Damage From A Neighboring Business

Plazas throughout Metairie offer a wide range of shopping locations for the residents of the area and those passing through. One of the drawbacks to having your business nestled between other stores is that a disaster in one of these locations could affect your store as well based on its proximity. While fire remains one of the most obvious examples of this shared damage, water incidents also pose a threat as well.

One of the unfortunate aspects of sharing walls with other businesses is the plumbing, and other systems get run through the shared walls. Even water damages happening in the main area of the neighboring facility could pose threats to both this shared wall and leach through to pose equal risks to the structural elements and stock of your Metairie business as well.

Ultimately it might be challenging to assess the damage that your store faces from this neighboring threat on your own. Our SERVPRO experts can help you to understand better the damage and what has to happen to restore your property and keep things from getting any worse. Often this process is a requirement from your insurance company to understand better the claim getting filed and to approve the work that needs to happen.

Another thing that poses a threat is the severity of the damage to the store next door, and how weakened the shared wall has become. This inspection is also something that our SERVPRO professionals can help with, working to keep your staff and customers safe from falling materials and overly weakened structural elements that require removal and replacement. However, this knowledge should also prevent you from unwisely trying to restore these damages on your own and potentially risking injury from overly-saturated building materials breaking loose.

When it comes to recovering from a threatening situation like water damage penetrating into your business, you should trust professional restoration services to make it right. Our SERVPRO of Metairie water damage technicians are available anytime you need us at (504) 496-0193.
