We work closely with our clients and the Mold Assessment Consultants to ensure the guidelines of the Remediation Protocol are followed in order to achieve Clearance Criteria. 

Our trained staff is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding visible microbial growth, musty odors, and previous water damage concerns.

If you are from Texas you never know what the weather will bring each week. We experienced the hottest July on record since 2011 stretching 21 days of triple digit temperatures while also being the second longest stretch of consecutive days without rainfall at 58! Fast forward to mid August and we now have the wettest August on record with 10.38 inches of rain in one day! 

You can imagine the effects this had on residential and commercial properties including this business in Los Colinas, Texas. Water was pouring from the ceiling in multiple areas of the property causing damage to adjacent rooms. We were able to locate where the water was coming from and informed building maintenance. Over 200 air movers were placed to help restore this property! 

Mother Nature can be unpredictable but our team is always prepared to help in emergency situations such as these.

How To Help Prevent Water Damage to your Commercial Space:

  1. Train all employees on the location of the water shut off valves and make sure they are easily accessible.
  2. Find out if your business is located on a flood plain and if your area offers programs for business owners.
  3. Conduct regular inspections of your HVAC units, roof, water heaters, refrigerators, sinks, toilets, and any other area you have that may have a water leak.
  4. Make sure your insurance policy is up to date and you are insured.
  5. Keep any documents, inventory, or anything critical to your business' survival at least a few feet off the ground.
  6. Setup an Emergency Ready Profile of your business with our team in order to keep all of your property information accessible by phone, tablet, online document, or PDF.
  7. Be prepared for a water damage event. The faster the water is removed and dried out, the better off you are going to be. Time is an important factor.

How to address a toilet that is overflowing.

water puddled on tile floor from white overflowing toilet Don't stress, call SERVPRO of Flower Mound!

Help! My toilet is overflowing!

An overflowing toilet is a problem everyone will likely deal with at some point. When water overflows from the bowl, chances are the culprit is a clogged toilet drain—usually an easy fix with some basic tools.

First, turn off the toilet’s water supply, on the wall behind the toilet. If you can’t find the water supply to stop the toilet overflowing, take the top off the tank and lift the float ball or cup high enough to stop the water from running. If that does not work, the shut off valve for the water supply to the house is generally located near the water heater.

Should overflow continue once the main water supply is off, you’re dealing with sewage backup, a serious situation due to the hazardous nature of the sewage water. If you are on a municipal septic system, you may need to call the city. If you have a septic tank, you’ll need a plumbing company that can flush out your system.

Water damage gets worse the more time that goes by. Call SERVPRO of Flower Mound / Lewisville right away to minimize the damage. We will work with your insurance every step of the way! 972-420-4771
