Commercial water damage restoration
Commercial water damage restoration covers extraction, drying and repairs for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, medical suites and multifamily buildings, planned around keeping the business operating and documenting the loss for the insurer and property owner.
- Typical time
- Depends on size; drying is often phased to keep areas open.
- Repair or replace
- Same standards as residential, scheduled around operations.
Commercial losses are usually larger and more complicated: sprinkler discharges, roof drains on flat commercial roofs, water heaters serving multiple units, and tenant spaces sharing walls.
Scheduling around operations, containing work areas, and coordinating between tenants, property managers and insurers matters as much as the drying itself.
