Map
Pinless meters and a thermal camera show where the water went before anything is moved.

Extract
Truck-mounted units pull the free water first, because extraction removes far more than evaporation.

Verify
The drying phase ends when materials read within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.

Keeping a business running
Crews usually dry a business in sections so some rooms can reopen while others dry. Moisture maps help a manager decide which offices, aisles or classrooms can be used. Stock, files and electronics are lifted out of the wet zone and logged.
Scale and documentation
The city is also home to corporate headquarters such as The Cheesecake Factory and Harbor Freight Tools, a reminder of how many building types a water loss can touch. Leaks that cross suites call for structural drying and the steps on the water extraction page.
Photos and daily readings give a property manager records for the carrier.
Background from public agencies: OSHA worker safety and FEMA.
Equipment stays until the readings say dry. The drying time estimator gives a planning range for the rooms involved.

Commercial Water Damage: questions and answers
Can a business stay open during water damage cleanup?
Often in part. Crews dry in sections, so unaffected rooms can stay in use while wet areas are contained and dried.
Who handles commercial water damage, the landlord or the tenant?
That depends on the lease. Either party can call for cleanup, and shared readings and photos help the landlord, the tenant and the carrier work from the same record.
How are stock and files protected?
Items are lifted out of the wet zone, covered or moved to a dry area and listed so the loss can be documented.
What does commercial cleanup cost?
Square footage and the number of tenants set the range. The cost calculator gives a starting point, and the price cards show three bands.
Is restroom or kitchen water treated differently?
Drain water is contaminated, so porous items it touched come out. Clean supply water gives carpet a better chance.
Get the suite dry and open
The building type, the floors affected and the source are all that is needed. Crews bring pumps, meters and a sectioned plan.
