First steps for commercial water damage

  1. Stop the water. Close the riser, the sprinkler valve or the main if trained to.
  2. Protect people. Keep staff and customers away from wet floors and wiring.
  3. Move inventory. Lift stock and records off the floor and away from drips.
  4. Call the owner and insurer. Notify the building owner and start the claim.

The city's commercial stock runs from converted comb and plastics mill buildings to strip centers along the highway corridors, office parks and apartment buildings. Each has its own way of moving water: big open floors, shared ceilings, elevator pits and tenants stacked above each other.

How the crew handles a commercial loss

The response team meets the owner or the property manager, finds the source and maps every affected suite. Water in a large building often travels through floor penetrations and shared walls to spaces nobody has checked.

  • The extraction crew clears large floors with truck-mounted and ride-on extractors
  • Wet ceiling tiles and soaked carpet tiles come out first
  • Containment separates the drying area so the rest of the business can stay open
  • The drying team works in phases and after hours where it helps

Drying zones set around the business.

4

Dry

Phased drying to a verified goal.

Mill buildings and older masonry

Converted mill buildings have heavy timber floors, brick walls and wide floor plates. Those materials hold water for a long time, so the drying team uses desiccant dehumidifiers on large areas and logs readings on the timber and masonry daily.

Records for owners, tenants and insurers

Commercial claims often involve the building owner, several tenants and more than one insurer. The claim file splits the moisture maps, photos and drying logs by suite so each party can see its own part of the loss.

Workplace safety rules during cleanup are on the OSHA site, and FEMA covers business disaster planning. For multi-unit leaks inside apartments, see ceiling leak water damage.

Can the business stay open during drying?

Often, in part. Containment walls separate the drying area, and the drying team schedules noisy or disruptive work after hours where possible.

Who coordinates with the property manager?

The response team works with the owner or the manager on access, shutoffs and tenant notices, and keeps one set of records for the whole building.

Why do mill buildings take longer to dry?

Heavy timber, brick and thick masonry absorb a lot of water and release it slowly, so they need desiccant drying and more days of monitoring.

What about sprinkler water?

Sprinkler water that sat in the pipes can be dirty and is treated at least as Category 2. Ceiling tiles and carpet tiles it soaked are usually replaced.

Is commercial water damage covered by insurance?

Commercial property policies often cover sudden water damage and may include business income coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

How is damage split between tenants?

The claim file breaks the moisture maps, photos and logs out by suite, so each tenant and the owner can see what affected their space.
