Planning around the business
The commercial crew maps the wet area, sets the category and builds a drying plan that keeps the rest of the building working.
- Containment walls to separate wet areas from open ones
- Drying in phases, area by area, around business hours
- Quieter equipment settings where staff are present
- Daily moisture reports for the owner and property manager
Large-loss extraction and drying
Truck-mounted extraction pulls water from carpet tile and concrete, and large LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers dry open floor plates. Cavities behind drywall, under raised floors and inside old brick and timber walls are opened and dried where readings call for it.
Water across the office floor? Every hour closed costs the business.
Plan the drying around business hoursRecords for owners and tenants
Daily readings, photos and an itemized scope support the claim and the conversations between owner, tenant and insurer. Sewage from a failed drain stack is handled under sewage backup cleanup, and structural drying explains the drying goal.
Know where the sprinkler shutoff is
Facilities staff should know where the sprinkler control valve and the main water valve are, and who is allowed to close them, before anything goes wrong.

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
What owners ask most about commercial water damage, from drying time to the claim file.
Ask the drying team by phoneCan a business stay open during water damage drying?
Often, in part. Containment walls separate wet areas, and drying runs in phases around business hours so unaffected areas keep working.
What causes most commercial water damage?
Sprinkler heads and pipes, roof drains that back up in heavy rain or snowmelt, supply pipe failures over weekends and sewer backups from a drain stack.
What records does a commercial water loss need?
Daily moisture readings, dated photos, the water category and class and an itemized scope. Owners, tenants and insurers all lean on the same file.
How long does commercial drying take?
Most clean-water losses dry in three to seven days. Large floors, dense materials in older buildings and Category 3 water take longer.
Is commercial water damage covered by insurance?
Commercial property policies vary widely, and tenants and owners may carry separate coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so check it with your own insurer.
Are older brick and timber buildings harder to dry?
Yes. Thick masonry and heavy timber are Class 4 materials that release water slowly, so drying plans use more dehumidification and closer monitoring.
