SERVPRO understands how important your business is. Let us help you out.

We Expertly Handle Queens’ Water Restoration Needs 

As one of America’s first heavily settled areas, Queens hosts some of the oldest buildings in the nation. An astounding number of these date back to the mid-to-late 1800s, but some were constructed well over three hundred years ago. Local business owners should consider this when leasing or buying commercial facilities and prepare for potential issues related to old, degraded piping.

SERVPRO is exceedingly experienced in performing water restoration work on Queens’ historic buildings. Our emergency water damage services teams have routinely located and repaired ceiling leaks and burst pipes. Moreover, they have also completed any water damage repairs necessary to return businesses to their normal operations. It is important to remember that pipe-related problems can arise from a number of ordinary, everyday situations. Some of these particular circumstances include:

• Defective piping that has bad, leaky connections because it was constructed with cheap materials or was done by low-skilled workers
• Metal and plastic pipe failures resulting from age-related corrosion or brittleness
• Ruptured pipework is caused by freezing and thawing cycles that either cause pipes to burst immediately or weaken them over time until they eventually fail
• Pressure-producing clogs and blockages arising from accumulations of mineral deposits, grease, and remnants of everyday wastes
• Excessive water pressure that exceeds a pipe network’s design limits and causes parts of it to leak or burst
• Construction or renovation mishaps that accidentally damage pipes in structural elements like ceilings, walls, and flooring

Armed with knowledge, it becomes much easier to know where to anticipate possible plumbing issues in your commercial establishment.
