Hotel water damage is an unfortunate, yet extremely common occurrence. It is definitely something management can expect and should plan for. Most hotel water damage incidents, no matter how minor, should be taken care of as soon as possible. Even seemingly insignificant damages, when left unrepaired, can cause odor and structural damage and weaken the properties appeal, damaging business reputation, and most importantly, interrupting regular operations.
Hotel water damage may be a result of the following:
Hotel water damage scenarios can quickly translate into major expenses for the business. Moisture and humidity promote structural damage, wood rot, peeling paint, and mold. Unrepaired leaks lead to the gradual wear and tear and deterioration of the facility. An unrepaired leak originating on the hotel’s roof can damage the ceiling, walls, and flooring below it, not to mention furniture, electronics and the personal possessions of hotel guests. Water damage in hotels can also affect electrical wiring, creating a potential fire hazard and fire damage restoration is a whole other ball game.
Since hotel water damage restoration can be very expensive, the best damage control solution is to have the establishment regularly cleaned, maintained, and in good repair at all times.
Any hotel or commercial establishment has a vested interest in minimizing loss. Although not every water damage emergency can be predicted or prevented, it helps to be prepared and have a PREP ERP pre-contingency plan for possible risk scenarios. The plan should be developed well ahead of a potential emergency. In fact, that is the most effective way to reduce the duration of your business interruption. A comprehensive emergency preparedness plan includes the following: determining an evacuation and shelter plan; training staff for emergency situations; investing in backup power and communication systems; protecting business data; carrying adequate business interruption insurance and establishing a relationship with local restoration professionals.
