Handling Commercial Plumbing Leaks Quickly

Before technicians arrive to perform restoration, property owners are advised to do the following:

  • Inspect the building in question for other potential signs of plumbing-related water damage. This step is especially crucial in commercial multi-family properties, hotels, and other facilities where multiple rooms on multiple floors could be affected
  • Take pictures and video of the affected area and contact your insurer as soon as possible to start the claims failing process
