Six Tips to Mitigating Water Damage for Your Business

1. Make sure all water shut-off valves are easily accessible and all employees know where they are located.
2. Find out if your business is located on a flood plain. If so, know what programs are available to business owners for water disasters.
3. Regularly inspect HVAC units, roof, gutters, water heaters, refrigerators, sinks, toilets, and any other area a leak may occur.
4. Keep your insurance policy up to date and know the coverage you are insured for.
5. Ensure any documents, inventory, or information/equipment critical to your business' survival is at least a few feet off the ground.
6. Time is an important factor. Be prepared. The faster the water is removed and dried out, the better off you are going to be. Please save our number to your phone so you know who to call SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin.
