Common Water Damages Found in South Greenville County 

When you mention water damage to Greenville County business owners, most envision massive storms, flooded offices, and stopping business for several days. Many South Greenville County business will suffer from water damage as a result of flooding, weather events, and severe storms. Many business owners, entrepreneurs, and business space renters in Greenville County overlook that storms, severe weather, and floods are not the only causes of water damage. 

Below are a few common examples of water damage that we have found in South Greenville County businesses.  

1. Old Sprinkler System Older offices and retail buildings can have old and faulty sprinkler systems. While these systems can work in sync with fire protection systems, they can also malfunction and cause significant flooding. Flooding can damage inventory, business assets, and equipment. 
2. Damaged Appliances and Equipment  Greenville County restaurants and catering businesses are more susceptible to this type of water damage. When the appliance malfunctions and sends water across your business, especially during late hours when everyone is home, you could be walking into a water damage disaster the next morning. 
3. Broken Pipes and Plumbing A failed plumbing system or broken pipe can immediately lead to water damage. 
4. Backed Up Sewer Lines Damaged sewer lines and backups can cause major damage. The contaminated water can enter your Greenville County business and cause health effects for your employees, customers, and ruin your products, equipment, or valuable business assets.
