SERVPRO of Wilson/ Nashville is available 24 hours a day for water emergencies, large and small. When dealing with water damage to your commercial property, immediate action is crucial. A delay of just a few hours can significantly increase the severity of the water damage. Public restrooms are the most common cause of water damage to commercial properties.
Public restroom toilets :
Broken or worn: handle, sensors, pipes, seals, or internal plumbing.
Blockages: Flushing foreign objects or non-flushable sanitary products into the Sanitary Main; Sometimes a blockage is also the result of a combination of city and private trees where the roots penetrate the pipes. Usually if the sanitary main is affected the backflow happens slowly, giving the owner time to call a licensed plumber to assess the damage.
Leaks: that over time gets worse.
Wobbly: Water can leak from around the wax ring at the base of the toilet. It is likely you would not see any water at all but it will be soaking into the subfloor the whole time. Sometimes the first indication is the toilet starting to wobble due to the floor supporting it rotting away.

Does your Business Have a Mold Problem?
10/20/2021 (Permalink)
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. Mold can spread through a Business in as little as 48 hours. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce health effects.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.
