Water Restoration in Government Buildings

GSA Water Damage Cleanup Maryland

The United States government owns and manages thousands of buildings across the country. Many of these are older buildings that need critical infrastructure replacement or are located in areas with extreme climate changes that can range from bitter cold to extreme cold. This constantly changing temperature can cause a tremendous amount of strain on the piping, which can result in them bursting. What types of federally owned facilities can be affected by pipes bursting?

• Military Facilities are affected by the weather changes that can occur at a moment’s notice. With many of these facilities spread across the United States it is important to make note that many are well insulated. The results are that the pipes have tendency to freeze anywhere from the offices to barracks to air plane hangars. All of these problems that are occurring at home, might have the potential of causing a pipe burst, which could result in the creation of mold. With this affecting our nation’s armed forces it is important to take care of this in order to keep our armed forces at the utmost readiness.
• Federal Court buildings are another type of building that could be affected by water damage that would be deemed critical in the instance of water damage. These buildings would be considered critical because these are local centers of the Federal Justice System. A result is that these buildings need to stay open because they are vital to the justice system. If water damage does occur it needs to be taken care of immediately in order to alleviate the problem.
• Government Offices are not immune to water damage. If a water damage occurs in a major government node it can potentially make the bureaucracy of government slow to a near halt. This is why it is important for a water damage problem to be resolved quickly and in a professional manner in order to restore the property to working order.

Pipe bursts can occur in any type of property, and government buildings are no exception. Water damage ranging from minor to major incidents can occur and affect not only the building but also the people exposed. Some types of water damage can be dangerous, and the more minor situations can even escalate if left untreated.
