Water Leaks Can Disrupt Your Business Operations

This is what we found in this popular retailers bedding section - note electricity and water are dangerous

You've got one.... A ceiling tile, or two - or ten that have a stain from above.  A stain that changes and gets bigger after storms or for no reason.  That leak that is there but being ignored has the potential to interrupt your business and cause significant damage.

We've encountered many a building in the Great Neck, Roslyn, Port Washington and Manhasset areas that have suffered a sudden and significant deluge of water.  Often the area of impact was not anticipated, as pipes are tucked out of sight behind drop ceilings that absorb small leaks.  When there is overflow we have seen massive losses on the warehouse floor, out on retail floors where thousands of dollars of new merchandise is damaged and rendered unsaleable. 

Drop ceilings suddenly much heavier from the weight of water collapse onto the office or sales floor - and businesses have to close until the area is safe, cleaned up, and merchandise replaced.

How can you avoid interruption?  Pay attention to the small leaks and water spots.  Have periodic inspections by a master plumbing contractor.  Avoid snow and ice buildups where water can pool and leak.
