What every commercial water damage job includes
Dispatch around the clock
Active water is treated as urgent at any hour. The response team rolls with extraction units, air movers and LGR dehumidifiers already on the truck.
Readings before tear-out
Moisture mapping and thermal imaging show where the water traveled inside walls and under floors, so only wet material comes out.
Dried to IICRC S500
Equipment is sized to the class of loss and stays until materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
A file an adjuster can read
Timestamped photos, daily psychrometric logs and a line-item scope go into the claim file while the work happens.

What a commercial job adds
- Larger floor areas that need truck-mounted extraction
- Phased drying so part of the space stays usable
- Itemized records for the owner, landlord and insurer
- Sanitizing where the water was gray or contaminated
Equipment is staged to limit noise and keep walkways clear.
Planning around the business day
The crew walks the space, maps the wet zone and sets a phase plan. Customer areas are cleared first where possible, and later drying phases are timed so staff and deliveries can keep moving.

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Still dealing with it?
Water in a business keeps costing money until it is dried.
(888) 557-1733 Start the business dry-outCan a business stay open during drying?
Often partly. Work is phased so unaffected areas stay usable, and the crew explains which zones need to close.
How is the work documented?
Photos, moisture readings and an itemized scope are kept for the owner, the property manager and the insurer.
Does commercial work cost more than a home?
It usually involves a larger area, so the bands are higher, though the method of extraction, drying and readings is the same.
What about sewage or storm water?
Contaminated water is handled with protective gear, removal of porous materials and sanitizing before drying begins.
Who decides when the space can reopen?
The readings do. Once materials match their dry standards, the space can be cleared for repairs and reopening.
Extract, dry and document with the work planned around operations
The crew maps the loss, clears the water in phases and dries the structure while keeping as much of the space open as the readings allow.
