If you own a commercial property, look for these issues around the building

7/6/2022 (Permalink)

Our Commercial Division sees a lot of inevitable but also avoidable issues around commercial buildings. Some of the issues are due to poor maintenance, old buildings, structural issues, etc.

We like to talk to Engineers and Property Managers and explain the importance of building upkeep. If they see recent cracks, it is important to investigate to make sure that it is not a sign of larger underlying issues. This is especially troublesome if cracks are found in the foundation of the building since it can indicate structural issues. If you see leaks, no matter how small, you should call a professional company to do a thorough inspection, since there could be hidden problems behind walls, cabinets, ceilings, etc. If the leak could be related to the roof, call a trusted roofer to inspect for missing shingles, holes, or other damages.

If you see any of these issues, consider calling SERVPRO of Decatur to do an inspection around your property. We have highly trained technicians available 24/7 to help you. Call us at 404-378-9998.
