Commercial water losses are different because a building often holds many interests: an owner, tenants, an insurance carrier and each business's own contents. Roslindale's mix includes Roslindale Square storefronts, new apartment buildings, stores and restaurants on American Legion Highway, and light industrial buildings in the north.
Different buildings, different plans
A restaurant kitchen needs food safe cleaning and a reopening plan. An office needs records and electronics protected. A building that mixes shops and apartments needs ceilings and the units above and below checked.

(888) 480-6221Protect the building nowHow a commercial job is run
- Moisture mapping of every tenant space, including shared walls and ceilings
- Extraction in phases so one space can reopen while another dries
- Inventory, records and equipment lifted, covered or moved out of harm
- Daily readings and photos kept by space for each insurance carrier
Work that fits the building
Large open floors in a light industrial building call for high capacity water extraction pumps and many air movers, while a small shop may need a single dehumidifier and a few air movers for structural drying.
Records that keep claims moving
Photos, moisture logs and equipment records are organized by space, so each tenant and each insurance carrier can see exactly what was wet and when it dried.

Stock, records and electronics are lifted, covered or moved to dry space before extraction begins.
Does commercial insurance cover water damage?
Sudden losses are often covered, and business income coverage may apply, so notify the carrier early.

Several days for a small space, and longer for plaster, masonry or building wide losses.
