When an Office Springs a Leak
It happens all too often: a pipe breaks, a tap is left running, or rains cause sewers to back up, and all at once, you need someone to call immediately to take care of a building maintenance emergency.
What’s worse is that floods can cause thousands (even millions) of dollars’ worth of damage, and leave you with a mouldy, bacteria-ridden and unsafe environment. In a worst-case scenario, floods can even damage the structural integrity of the building, which can lead to a massively expensive renovation.
One of the most important steps in being prepared for an emergency basement flood cleanup is knowing who to call when it happens, because the speed at which the water is removed determines the damage and costs.
Metropolitan offers building maintenance packages with consolidated janitorial, carpets, windows, and more, and we also provide call-out services for existing clients who experience building emergencies with flooding or water leaks.
How Metropolitan Can Help with Flood Cleanup
Wherever the flood is, Metropolitan is here to help! Big or small, our services include:
- Cleaning up the flooded area and removing water
- Treating the flooded area with special Green anti-bacterial and anti-mould solutions
- Drying the area with dehumidifiers and blowers to move the polluted air out
Don’t get caught without a plan for how you will handle water damage, because in the Lower Mainland, it happens more often than anyone ever expects!
Preventative Measures Save Future Headaches
Flood damage can lead to serious repercussions, including:
- Irreparable carpet and flooring damage and deterioration
- Development of harmful mould and bacteria, which can cause odours and pollute the internal air quality of the space
- Loss of business, revenue, and potentially clientele due to interruptions, restoration or renovations
- Structural damage may occur if the water damage is not handled quickly and thoroughly
Water damage is always unanticipated, and we understand, so it’s good to know what you should be aware of beforehand. Whatever the situation, we can help!
