SERVPRO of East Dallas provides commercial water damage repair work.

Older buildings can be full of hidden risks that commercial property owners and managers should be aware of. This is more true for buildings constructed in the 1960s – 1980s, when different rules and regulations were implemented. If your building was built before 1984, it may have been wired with aluminum which is 55% more likely to cause a fire than copper. Electrics are one of the areas that have to be constantly monitored in older buildings to reduce the risk of fires.  

Older buildings also have older roofs, which deteriorate over time, leading to leaks. Aged plumbing corrodes and pipes eventually break, causing water damage which can be expensive to mitigate. And, depending on how old the building is there may be asbestos or lead in it, which will require specialized removal. At SERVPRO of East Dallas we offer a free evaluation of your facility which includes an asbestos and lead report. The Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) also provides a detailed plan to minimize response time should something go wrong. The report includes a snapshot of your building, including structural information, total square footage, flooring type along with the location and type of any hazardous material.

If you are interested in an ERP for your commercial property, give us a call at 469-998-6444 and one of our professional experts will be happy to provide a thorough evaluation and report that lives online for the fastest access.
