Commercial Sprinkler Water damage

Commercial Sprinkler Water Damage Commercial Sprinkler Water Damage

An automatic fire sprinkler system is one of the essential fire protection features. They are reliable and affordable. However, fire protection systems may fail if not properly maintained or afforded adequate heat. For example, a failure could result in disaster if a fire occurred or tremendous water damage from fire sprinklers if water is unexpectedly released.

When a fire sprinkler head accidentally discharges, it soaks walls, floors, furniture, and anyone unlucky enough to be nearby. Regular maintenance can’t guarantee it won’t happen, but you can be ready for unexpected sprinkler breakdowns with these tips.

Don’t try cleanup by yourself.

When fire sprinkler heads accidentally discharge – usually because they are broken –  they release a spray of dirty water contaminated with rust, oil, and sediment. The mixture stains the surface and spreads strong, unpleasant odors throughout the building. Don’t try to tackle the mess on your own. Leave clean up to us.

  • We do the cleanup and the mitigation. We care for all interior materials, including sheetrock, carpets, and flooring.
  • Our certified restoration technicians often salvage damaged furniture, equipment, and even paper records.

Document everything

Document water damage from a sprinkler system as soon as possible. Record all the damages immediately. That way, you can demonstrate the extent of loss to your insurance company.

  • Take detailed pictures and videos of all affected interiors, including broken sprinklers, wet walls, and wet floors.
  • Leave large items like furniture and equipment in place for the adjuster’s inspection.
  • Save the receipts for damage-related expenses.

After the fire has been extinguished, do not return to the property until the fire department says it is safe to do so. Once you have access to your property, taking the following actions can help you protect your business:

  • Install a security fence
  • Board up broken windows and other openings
  • Tarp over damaged areas of the roof

In addition to damage from the fire itself, the firefighters may have broken windows or created other openings during their fire-extinguishing efforts. Therefore, the building could have several entry points for vandals and wildlife. It is important to board up or tarp over these areas. Installing a fence adds another layer of protection. If damage occurs after the fire has been extinguished and the insurance company determines the damage resulted from the building not being properly secured, they may deny that portion of the claim. If anyone enters the property, even without permission, and gets injured, the business could be held liable.

Restoring the Property

After the property has been secured, it is time to document the damage and begin restoration. Take a detailed photo or video evidence for the insurance company so that they can adequately assess the property. Then remove the water from the fire-suppression efforts. Do this as quickly as possible because mold can begin to grow within 24 hours. Next, clean the smoke and soot from the surfaces. Clean and sanitize affected areas. Throw everything away that cannot be fully dried and cleaned. Finally, begin repairing and replacing damaged items.
From installing a security fence to smoke cleaning, taking care of your commercial property after a fire can be a complicated endeavor. Fortunately, a certified restoration service can help you get your business back to normal quickly and safely.

Losing your home to a fire is a scary thought, but there’s plenty you can do to prevent fires from starting. Accidents can happen, but you can learn how to avoid a fire from starting and spreading through your home. Here are some tips

  • Install smoke alarms that combine flashing lights on every level of your home. Test them monthly and change the batteries every six months.
  • Create an escape plan and practice them with your family.
  • Keep grills, cookers, and fryers at least 3 feet away from your house and shrubs or bushes.
  • Properly store flammable products. If they are exposed to a significant heat source, they can combust.
  • Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Service your chimneys, fireplaces, wood stoves, and central furnace once a year.
  • Store a fire extinguisher on every level of your home.
  • Never smoke in bed
  • Keep an eye on your cooking. Cooking is the number one cause of residential fires.
  • Never leave burning candles unattended.
  • Look for frayed wires and damaged cords. If you see any exposed wires, unplug the electronics and replace them immediately.

The mountains of Colorado can experience severe weather and fires that can change landscapes and the way soil and water behave.

A destructive fire can damage the ground and make it susceptible to flood damage; heavy rains can move tons of rock and soil down mountainsides and accumulated snow can become avalanches.

Grand County recently completed a Hazard Mitigation Plan, which identified these potential natural challenges and has been working to mitigate the threat of these challenges. 

A proactive safety plan that explicitly addresses slips, trips, and falls enhance worker safety and minimizes potential costs from workers’ compensation payments, government fines, or equipment/facility remediation requirements.
