Commercial drying while the doors stay open
The business parks along Nordhoff, Prairie and Lassen Streets hold offices, light manufacturing, labs and warehouses under large flat roofs. A clogged roof drain, a split supply riser or a restroom backup can wet a lot of floor before anyone arrives in the morning.
The restoration team maps the wet area, sets containment around it and dries in phases, so unaffected suites, offices and aisles keep working. Equipment placement and noise are planned around the work day, and after-hours setups are common.
What commercial losses involve
- Commercial carpet tile and raised access floors
- Drywall partitions and insulated exterior walls
- Ceiling tiles under roof drains and rooftop units
- Restroom backups handled as Category 3
