Why the drying standard matters for commercial water damage
Dispatch at any hour
Active water is treated as urgent around the clock, weekends and holidays included, because drywall and carpet pad keep wicking while the water sits.
Dried to IICRC S500
The drying team sizes air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to the class of loss and leaves them running until the readings, not the surface, say dry.
A claim file from day one
Timestamped photos before demolition, a moisture map and daily psychrometric logs give the adjuster a clear record of the loss.
Built for cold-climate homes
Finished basements, frozen supply lines, ice dams and sump pits drive most losses here, so the extraction crew arrives equipped for them.

Commercial losses cover more floor and involve more people: owners, tenants, property managers and adjusters. The drying plan has to work around the business while still meeting the IICRC S500 standard.
What causes commercial water losses
Flat roofs and internal roof drains clog or freeze in winter, sprinkler lines in unheated spaces split, and a burst pipe above a ceiling grid can wet a whole suite. In apartment buildings one unit's leak often reaches the units below.
- Frozen sprinkler lines and roof drains
- Pipes above ceiling grids
- Unit-to-unit leaks in multifamily buildings
Drying without shutting down
The crew sets containment around wet areas, extracts carpet tile and broadloom, and stages air movers and dehumidifiers so customers or tenants can keep using dry space. Setup and noisy work can be scheduled after hours.
Daily logs, photos and readings go to the owner or manager for the claim.
Planning ahead
Knowing where shutoffs are and keeping roof drains clear cuts response time. Ready.gov business preparedness and OSHA flood cleanup guidance help with plans and worker safety.

Commercial Water Damage questions
Still dealing with it?
Water across the shop or office floor? Contain it now so the rest of the space stays open.
(888) 432-4933 (888) 432-4933Plan the phased dry-outCan my business stay open during drying?
Often, yes. Wet areas are contained and dried in phases so dry space stays usable, and noisy setup can be done after hours.
Who gets the drying logs and photos?
The property owner or manager receives daily readings, photos and the scope for the claim and for tenants.
How is a multifamily leak handled?
The source unit is stopped first, then every affected unit below is mapped and dried. Each unit's readings are logged separately.
Does commercial property insurance cover water damage?
Many commercial policies cover sudden water damage. Coverage depends on your own policy, so check it with your insurer or agent.
How long does commercial drying take?
Usually three to seven days depending on the area, the materials and how many phases the plan needs.
