Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Can a business stay open during drying?
Often partly. Containment and phased drying let some spaces stay open while others dry.
Who handles a leak between condo units?
The association, the unit owners and their insurers each have a role. The restoration crew documents where the water came from and what it reached.
Can work happen after hours?
Yes. Removal and other noisy work can be scheduled after hours to limit disruption.
Is a sprinkler leak clean water?
Sprinkler water sits in the pipes for a long time and is usually dirty, so it is often treated as Category 2.
What documentation does a commercial claim need?
Moisture maps, daily drying logs, photos, a line-item scope and a record of each affected space and tenant.
How long does commercial drying take?
Most losses dry in three to seven days. Large or Category 3 losses take longer.
