What is the least glamorous part of working in the restaurant business? The 14 hour days? Working as the host, the manager, the chef, the bartender and the janitor every day? Keeping a close eye on employees to make sure they are not stealing any of your hard earned cash? Maintaining, selecting and paying for the proper insurance protection for your restaurant probably ranks high on the list.

To add insult to injury the forecast was for more wet weather throughout the weekend. This, all to often results in water damage to your property.
John Posiviata of Puro Clean kindly shared the following tips and tricks for property owners following water damage.
