What commercial jobs involve
- Burst pipes, sprinkler discharge, roof leaks and HVAC drain overflow
- Carpet tile, drywall partitions and ceiling tiles
- Neighboring suites and floors affected by seepage
- Inventory and equipment moved or protected
Large floors may need truck-mounted extraction and a bigger dehumidifier setup than a house does.
Phasing the work
Priority goes to areas that carry the most downtime cost, such as a sales floor, a server room or a front office. Drying equipment is placed to keep aisles, exits and fire panels clear, and phases are set so one suite can reopen while another is still drying.
Documentation for the carrier
Commercial claims need a clear scope, moisture logs and equipment records. The crew supplies that file, along with photos of damage and contents moved. For a smaller loss, see water extraction and structural drying, or the main commercial overview.
How commercial water damage is held to a standard
Order matters: measure, extract, dry to a goal, then prove it with readings.
Dispatch at any hour
Active water is treated as urgent at 3 a.m., on a Sunday or on a holiday, the same as on a weekday morning.
Dry by the numbers
IICRC S500 sets the goal. Equipment stays until meter readings match a dry reference, not until a surface feels dry.
A file the adjuster can use
Moisture maps, daily psychrometric logs and timestamped photos taken before any demolition go into one record.
Built for valley houses
Slab floors, raised floors with crawl spaces, garage water heaters and older supply lines are routine work in valley homes.

Commercial Water Damage: questions and answers
Can the business stay open during drying?
Often partly. The crew isolates the wet area, runs equipment in phases and works after hours when needed so unaffected spaces can keep operating.
Who handles the claim, tenant or landlord?
It depends on the lease and the policy. The drying record supports both, and the crew shares photos and logs with whoever holds the coverage.
What if water reaches neighboring suites?
Seepage through walls and floors can reach other units. Meters check adjacent spaces so every wet area is dried and documented.
Is business income covered?
Many commercial policies include business interruption, but terms vary. Documentation of start and finish dates helps support it.
Does sprinkler or HVAC water differ from a pipe burst?
Sprinkler water can be dirtier and HVAC condensate often carries biological growth, so the crew tests the source and chooses the cleaning steps.
Every day closed costs the business money.
Extraction, phased drying and carrier-ready records get tenants back to work.
