Unexpected water damage can disrupt your business operations.
Water damage from severe weather, flooding, or appliance leaks can be a devastating blow to any business. These disasters don’t just stop productivity — they threaten your entire operation and bottom line. At Floor Pro, we understand the urgency and stress that comes with these unplanned disruptions.
Water damage is more than an inconvenience; it puts you and your employees’ livelihoods at risk.
7 COMMON CAUSES OF WATER DAMAGE
APPLIANCE LEAKS/WATER OVERFLOW
Appliance leaks are one of the more unpredictable causes for water damage, but certainly not forgettable. A seemingly small issue like a broken hose or poor installation can turn into a huge problem for appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, or water heaters. Regular maintenance is the best way to catch these issues before they happen.
FLOODED BASEMENT
Basements are particularly vulnerable to flooding from heavy rain, burst pipes, or poor drainage since they are below ground level. Over time, water buildup can lead to damaged structures or stored inventory. Waterproofing and sump pumps are effective ways to prevent further flooding.
SEWER/SEWAGE BACKUPS
No one likes to hear the phrase “sewage backups,” but they can be a very real threat to your business. A blocked or overwhelmed wastewater system can send contaminated water back into your building. Common causes include blockages, tree roots, or heavy rain. Immediate professional help is crucial to address these hazardous situations.
STORM DAMAGE REPAIR
Severe weather such as thunderstorms and hurricanes can cause extensive water damage. This includes leaks, roof damage, broken windows, and flooding. Prompt storm damage repairs are necessary to prevent further issues and maintain a safe environment for your business.
POOR DRAINAGE
Poor drainage can lead to water pooling around your building, which can eventually seep into the foundation and cause cracking in the process. Ensuring proper drainage is essential to keeping structural damage and costly repairs at bay.
CLOGGED GUTTERS
Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of water damage in commercial properties across industries. Gutters can easily fill with leaves and debris if not regularly cleaned, which can eventually cause a blockage. Over time, blocked gutters can overflow and get into the roof, walls, and foundation.
SPRINKLER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS
Malfunctioning sprinkler systems are notorious for causing unexpected water damage. Regular inspections and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems can prevent accidental activations or leaks, safeguarding your property from unnecessary water damage.

Water Mitigation vs. Water Restoration: What’s the Difference?
Water Mitigation vs. Water Restoration: What’s the Difference?
What is Water Damage Mitigation?
Mitigating water damage requires immediate action and damage control, to stabilize the situation, avoid additional damage, and make the property safe for restoration. The main parts of this process include:
- Assessment: Determining the severity of water damage to develop an action plan while keeping your operations in mind
- Water Removal: Eliminating and extracting standing water with industrial pumps and truck-mounted extraction equipment
- Cleanup: Removing any debris, damaged materials, or unsalvageable items from the site
- Mold Remediation: Addressing any mold outbreaks and issues that have developed over time
- Drying: Setting up high-capacity dehumidifiers, air scrubbers and commercial-grade air movers to thoroughly dry affected areas
- Securing: Sealing windows and/or blocking doors for safety and to prevent additional damage
- Mold Prevention: Utilizing antimicrobial treatments to stop mold growth in its tracks and protect the health of your employees and clients
What is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration follows the mitigation process, concentrating on repairing and reconstructing the affected areas to return your business to its pre-damage state. The key steps in water damage restoration are:
- Meeting Adjuster: A Floor Pro manager meets with every adjuster onsite to come up with a game plan for your repairs to ensure everyone is on the same page
- Planning: Once Floor Pro, the insurance company, and you have settled on the scope of work, your repairs team will come up with a plan and timeline for the repair.
- Repairs: Handling repairs for any structural damage, including drywall and flooring replacements
- Final Touches: Repainting and refinishing surfaces to restore your business’s pre-damage condition
