How commercial water damage is handled, step by step
Assess
Meters map the wet floor, walls and ceilings.
Extract
Large units clear the water.
Dry
Staged drying limits downtime.
Document
Dated photos and logs support the claim.
A commercial loss is measured in lost business as much as in wet floor. The goal is to get water out quickly, dry the structure and give owners the records they need for the claim.
Large floors need larger gear
Commercial floors take more pumps, longer extraction passes and more drying equipment than a house. In November 2015 the borough approved plans for a 139,000-square-foot FedEx freight distribution facility on Porete Avenue, a reminder that large warehouse-type spaces are part of the local mix.
- Truck-mounted extraction for wide open floors
- Staged drying so one area can reopen first
- Moisture mapping across slab, walls and ceilings
- Photo and reading logs for owners and insurers
Working around the business
Drying equipment can be placed so part of a shop or office stays usable, and work can be sequenced to limit downtime. Tenants sharing a building get a plan that covers common areas and each unit.
Water still moving? Close the shutoff if it is safe, keep clear of wet outlets, then call.
Call (888) 471-9821Records that support the claim

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Still dealing with commercial water damage?
Water in the shop, office or warehouse? Tell the crew the floor area and what the space is used for.
(888) 471-9821 Business loss questionsCan a business stay open during drying?
Often partly. Equipment is placed so some areas stay usable, and work is staged to limit downtime.
What about inventory and equipment?
Dry items are lifted off wet floors first. Wet stock is photographed and documented for the claim before it is discarded.
How is a large warehouse floor handled?
With larger extraction units and more drying equipment, set up in zones based on moisture readings.
What records does a commercial claim need?
Dated photos, daily readings, a list of removed materials and the dates drying began and ended.
Does the landlord or the tenant handle this?
It depends on the lease. Both should be told, and the crew documents common areas and each affected space.
Is sewage handled differently in a shop?
Yes. Contaminated water follows the same protective steps as at home, with the affected area sealed off first.
Get the business dry again
A commercial loss needs equipment sized to the floor and records that stand up to an insurer. Call and describe the space, and the crew will plan extraction, drying and documentation.
