How a commercial job is run
The response team walks the property with the manager and maps the wet areas, units and systems first. The extraction crew removes water, then the drying team sets containment walls so drying equipment runs behind them while the rest of the building stays open. Carpet tile, drywall and insulation are dried in place where readings allow. Every unit, suite or area gets its own moisture map and daily logs, which property managers and adjusters need.

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Can the business stay open during drying?
Often, in part. Containment walls let equipment run in the affected area while the rest of the space keeps working.
How are multifamily losses documented?
Each unit gets its own moisture map, photos and daily logs, so owners, tenants and the association can file separately.
Can work happen after hours?
Yes. Extraction and equipment checks are often scheduled around business hours to limit disruption.
What about a sprinkler discharge?
Sprinkler water starts clean but can pick up contaminants from old piping. The mitigation team checks the category before deciding what can be dried.
Is commercial water damage covered by insurance?
Commercial property policies vary widely, including business interruption coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
How long does commercial drying take?
Most commercial losses dry in three to seven days, depending on the square footage and materials.
