🚨 Water Leak in Your Commercial Building? Know What to Do First.
A water leak in an office, hotel, retail property or commercial plant room can quickly disrupt building operations and damage equipment.
Whether it's a leaking pipe, burst water main, plant room leak or unexpected water pressure problem, knowing how to respond is important.
What should facilities managers do first?
✅ Identify where the water is coming from, if safe
✅ Keep people away from affected or hazardous areas
✅ Follow the building's emergency isolation procedures
✅ Protect electrical equipment without entering unsafe areas
✅ Record the damage and arrange professional investigation
⚠️ Do not attempt repairs to pressurised systems or work near exposed electrical hazards.
