Commercial Fire Damage and Water Damage
Commercial fires suffer property damage more often due to arson, electrical malfunctions, and improper storage and disposal of flammable materials. When fires happen in commercial properties, they typically suffer water damage as well from sprinklers or emergency services to extinguish the fires. Water damage restoration is usually necessary too.
If you own or operate a business, it’s essential that you regularly inspect your premises for fire hazards; unfortunately, these tips aren’t always followed until after significant fire damage has already occurred.
Fire Damage Can Happen To All Types Of Businesses
While a fire can occur at any commercial building or place of business, here are a few examples we see most often needing fire damage restoration services.
Shopping Malls
Malls, especially those filled with flammable materials like wood, paper, and plastic, are prone to fires. At any given time, a small electrical fire in your workplace can cause costly repairs from damaged goods and lost revenue from an interruption in business activity. In addition, the longer you wait for repairs after fire damage, the more likely you’ll experience secondary problems like mold or water damage due to extensive exposure to moisture.
Restaurants
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 61 percent of fires in restaurants are caused by cooking equipment. The fire-hazardous equipment in a restaurant is endless. When a restaurant suffers fire and smoke damage, we work quickly to restore your restaurant as we know each day is important to get back to business.
Office Buildings
Whether it’s a simple fire or something more catastrophic, businesses housed in an office building have to know what’s in store for them if disaster strikes. Fire damage often spreads from one office space to another quickly, which can cause extensive structural and cosmetic damage across many units and lead to costly repairs that commercial property insurance may need to get involved.
Commercial Warehouse
Any building or structure with flammable materials can be susceptible to fire damage, including schools, hospitals, retail stores, warehouses, and office spaces.
Commercial warehouses are extremely vulnerable to fires as their purpose is to store high volumes of material or product. This can surely include hazardous and flammable materials. If a warehouse fire occurs, call NRT for fire damage repairs to get back your warehouse to pre-loss conditions.

The Best Way to Prevent Future Fires in Your Business
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that sprinklers be installed in commercial spaces. According to building experts, sprinklers can save your business from fires and keep its employees safe.
Furthermore, ensure you have working smoke detectors and an evacuation plan in place. These basic precautions will help prevent a small fire from turning into a difficult situation—and, better yet, they’re relatively easy to implement.
