Gas stations and other convenience stores in Andover often suffer problems with commercial water damage because of their non-sloped roofs.

Commercial Water Damage

Typical construction of many gas stations, including those in Andover, includes a flat roof, leaks become a common problem. Patching with tar or other compounds can only do so much to prevent precipitation from damaging your building.

Gas stations and other convenience stores in Andover often suffer problems with commercial water damage because of their non-sloped roofs. Clogged downspouts can also create situations where water stagnates and causes deterioration in depressed segments of the roof. While trees can provide savings on cooling expenses in the summer by shading your store, those same trees can dump thousands of leaves during the fall season.

SERVPRO technicians know how to track down the source of the water causing your property damage, and then stop it from causing any more issues. Fixing leaky pipes or defects in your building's structure decreases the risks of further, additional damage. Our employees can also help you handle an emergency water event in several ways.

Your displayed goods and inventory can become saturated with water quickly when it comes from overhead due to a massive rainstorm and a defective roof. We can help your employees box up your inventory and then move everything to a safe, dry location. We have storage facilities just for this to serve customers lacking the space.

Because water coming from overhead can carry contaminants from any pests living in the ceiling space, responsibility toward your customers necessitates you dispose of any food products with a history of contact with the water. Contact with chemicals your employees use to clean and disinfect your store can also similarly contaminate the water. We can discuss the particulars with you to ensure that you choose the most cost-effective option.

Making sure that we restore dryness to your store is crucial to keeping water damage from continuing and spreading. Signs that indicate water damage include peeling paint from concrete walls and steel fixtures, loosened floor tiles, fogged windows, and mold growth. We aim to prevent these issues from becoming a reality by making it “Like it never even happened.” including reducing the amount of humidity in the air to normal.
