Quick answer: For water damage at a business, office, church or rental property in Clarksville, call (858) 644-0295. The line is open 24 hours and connects you with a local provider who handles commercial water removal, drying and cleanup.

Where commercial water damage comes from

Burst fire sprinkler heads and frozen lines in unheated areas, roof drains on flat roofs that back up in heavy rain, restroom and break room supply lines, ice machine and water heater leaks, and sewage backups at floor drains. From strip centers along Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and Fort Campbell Boulevard to older buildings downtown, the causes are much the same.

What commercial cleanup involves

Water is extracted, wet ceiling tiles, carpet tiles and lower drywall are checked, and drying equipment is set so the space can reopen. Large spaces may be sectioned off so part of the business can keep working. Moisture readings and photos are kept for the property insurer and, for tenants, the landlord.

Owners, tenants and property managers

In a leased space, the lease decides who handles what. Tell the landlord or property manager right away, photograph everything before it is moved, and keep receipts. For the water service itself, Clarksville Gas and Water says the property owner is responsible from the customer side of the meter yoke into the building, and it takes main or meter-side leak reports at 931-645-7400, or 931-645-0116 after hours.

Rental homes and apartments

Landlords and property managers with rental homes near Fort Campbell or apartments across Clarksville can call the same line for a unit with a burst pipe, a water heater leak or a ceiling leak from the unit above. See ceiling leak water damage and water heater leak cleanup.
