Furthermore, commercial water damage in a Bronx office building can cause loss of income if you must shut down operations. The impact it can have on your business’ finances can create time-consuming tasks for some of your office personnel. Restoring an office after a water loss incident is a challenge. Using proper water removal strategies can restore salvageable items and spare the building from further destruction. The experts at SERVPRO of South Bronx can help you to manage the damage. Here are a few helpful tips to that can prevent further damage to your business:

• Shut down the main water source immediately to stop any water flow from coming into the office.
• Switch off electricity for areas of the office building which came into contact with any water.
• Open doors and windows to boost air circulation.
