What should you do first when your business has water damage?
Make the building safe, stop the water, protect records and equipment, and document everything. Then call so drying starts before the damage spreads to more of the building.
Keep people safe. Close off wet areas and keep staff and customers away from water near electrical equipment.
Stop the water. Shut off the main water supply or the valve feeding the leak.
Protect what matters most. Move computers, records, inventory and equipment off the floor and away from drips.
Shut off power to wet areas if the panel is safe to reach.
Take photos and video of the water, the source and damaged inventory and equipment.
Call your property manager or landlord if you lease, and call us.

How do we help keep your business open?
We plan the work around how your business runs. Wet areas are sectioned off so unaffected areas can stay open, noisy work can be scheduled around your hours where possible, and you get one point of contact who keeps you updated as drying progresses.
Why do flat roofs leak far from the damage?
On a flat commercial roof, water that gets through the membrane can travel along the roof deck before it finds a way down. The ceiling stain may show up well away from the actual hole. Wet ceiling tiles should be replaced, as the EPA recommends, and the area above them checked for wet insulation and decking.
What happens when a fire sprinkler goes off?
A fire sprinkler releases a lot of water quickly, and it doesn't stop until the system is shut off. Only shut off a sprinkler system if your fire protection company or the fire department tells you to, because it protects the building. Once it's shut off and the system is serviced, we remove the water and dry the space.
What documentation do commercial claims need?
Commercial claims usually need more detail than home claims. We record photos, moisture readings and drying logs, and note what was removed and why. If your policy includes business interruption coverage, keep records of days closed, lost sales and extra expenses, since your insurer may ask for them.

Frequently asked questions
Can my business stay open during water damage repairs?
Often, yes. Wet areas can be closed off with barriers while the rest of the space stays open. Whether you can stay open depends on where the damage is, the type of water and any health or safety rules for your business, such as food service.
Who is responsible for water damage in a leased commercial space?
It depends on your lease. Many commercial leases make the landlord responsible for the building and the tenant responsible for their own improvements, inventory and equipment. Read your lease and contact your landlord right away.
Can wet ceiling tiles be dried and reused?
Usually not. The EPA recommends discarding and replacing ceiling tiles that get wet. The area above them should also be checked for wet insulation and roof decking.
What should I do after a fire sprinkler goes off?
Call your fire protection company and the fire department if needed, and keep people away from the water. Only shut off the system if they tell you to. Protect equipment and records, take photos, and call us to remove the water once the system is under control.
Do you work outside business hours?
We plan work around your hours where possible, including scheduling noisy or disruptive work when the space is closed. Tell us your hours when you call so we can plan the job around them.
Does insurance cover lost business income from water damage?
Only if your policy includes business interruption coverage, and only for covered causes of loss. Keep records of closed days, lost sales and extra expenses, and ask your agent what your policy requires.
