Commercials Businesses in Southeastern Minnesota

Commercial businesses experience water damages just like many of our homes. 

The website ipropertymanagement said that in commercial businesses the water softner is the culprit 72% of the time as the source of loss. The site also shares that commercial owners and or managers should check to see the age of their water softener. If the water softener is older than 12 years old, your chances of having a water damage just increased even more. 

Knowledge is power, right?

Here's some more tips to help you catch a water damage or water issue before it becomes catastrophic.

• Check your monthly utility bill, specifically the water usage. Compare this months amount of water used to previous months. If the number has increased dramatically without the business intentionally increasing the amount of water, you may be dealing with a water issue. 
• Look around all the edges in the lowest floor in the building. Are there cracks? Do you have water coming in? 
• Look up! Is the ceiling discolored? Bubbled? Cracked? If so, you may be dealing with a water issue.
• It's always good to inspect the walls, floors, and trim to check for moisture, bubbling, cracking, or discoloration.
