How commercial water damage is handled, start to finish

The affected spaces and tenants are mapped.

Water is removed floor by floor.

Equipment is placed around operations.
Record
Each space gets its own logs.
Commercial space in the neighborhood ranges from the business districts at Uphams Corner, Fields Corner, Codman Square, Peabody Square, Adams Village and Lower Mills to the South Bay and Newmarket industrial area. Each setting has its own water risks, from rooftop leaks to pipe failures in a shared building.
Keeping the business running
A water loss usually affects more than the room where it started. Carpet, shelving, electronics and inventory sit low to the floor, so the crew moves quickly to extract the water and protect what can be saved, while keeping working areas open when it is safe to do so.
A water loss keeps a business closed while the floor stays wet, so an early call limits downtime.

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Can a business stay open during the cleanup?
Often partly. The crew plans extraction and drying so unaffected areas stay open, though wet zones and equipment areas are best kept clear.
How are multiple tenants handled?
Each tenant space gets its own photos, readings and notes, so landlords, tenants and insurers can see what was done where.
What happens to stock and inventory?
Items that can be saved are moved or covered during extraction. Anything that cannot be saved is listed and photographed for the claim.
Does commercial insurance cover water damage?
That depends on the policy and the cause. Business interruption and property coverage differ, so the insurer decides.
Are smaller shops treated differently from larger buildings?
The method is the same, but the equipment and number of visits scale with the space. A small shop sits in the first range.
Still dealing with it?
A water loss keeps a business closed while the floor stays wet, so an early call limits downtime.
