Keep Your Elkhart Business Safe From Water Damage

7/1/2017 (Permalink)

Should you find yourself in a situation where your business has been affected by flood, here are some ways to prevent flood waters from entering your business:

• Seal cracks, use high quality urethane-based caulk to seal cracks and utility pipes.
• Connect sump pumps to a battery back-up or generator.
• Install backflow valves on main waste drain pipes that leave the structure.
• Protect openings; keep a supply of water-absorbent barriers to divert water away by installing watertight shields over all doors and windows.
• Evaluate the drainage of the property to make sure the ground slopes away from the building.
