Who is responsible in a multi-tenant building — landlord or tenant?

Typically the building policy covers structure and the tenant policy covers improvements and contents, but leases vary. We document the loss so each party's scope is clearly separated rather than argued over later.

Do you handle business interruption documentation?

Yes. We provide dated timelines, affected area measurements, drying logs and access records — the evidence base a BI adjuster requires alongside your financials.

How fast can you respond to a commercial loss?

Same as residential emergency response, around the clock, and we scale crew size to the building. Large-loss events get a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact.

What should I document before anyone starts work?

Photograph and video every affected room before anything is moved, including close-ups of the failure point and wide shots showing the extent. Keep damaged items until the adjuster has seen them or you have photos plus a written inventory. Save receipts for anything you buy during the emergency.

Can I choose my own restoration company?

Yes. Carriers can recommend a preferred vendor but cannot require one. You have the right to select your contractor, and we work with every major carrier operating in Texas.

In a commercial loss the water damage is rarely the biggest cost — the closure is. Everything about how we work a commercial job is built around keeping the business trading: after-hours scheduling, phased containment so unaffected areas stay open, documentation split by tenancy, and equipment placement that does not block egress or trip a fire alarm.

How we handle commercial water damage

1Scope by tenancy and by trading impactWe map the affected area against occupancy and revenue, so the areas that keep you trading are prioritised and the documentation is separable by policy.

5Documentation for every stakeholderBuilding owner, tenant, property manager and carrier each receive documentation matched to their interest, including business interruption support.

What's included

Priority after-hours and weekend scheduling
Phased containment to maintain trading
Commercial-grade extraction and desiccant drying

Commercial Water Damage vs Water Damage Restoration

The technical drying is the same discipline. Commercial adds scheduling, containment, multi-party documentation and continuity planning.

Commercial Water Damage vs Property Restoration

Commercial rebuilds carry permitting, code and accessibility requirements handled under our reconstruction scope.

Usually yes. Containment isolates the affected zone and lets the rest of the premises trade, and we schedule disruptive phases outside your hours wherever the loss allows.

Water Damage Restoration

This is the full-scope service that covers everything between the moment water enters the building and the moment the last piece of baseboard goes back on. It combines extraction, documented drying, antimicrobial treatment and reconstruction under one crew, one scope and one claim file. Whether a three-day dry-out or a three-week rebuild results is decided almost entirely in the first twenty-four hours.

Property Restoration

Restoration is the rebuild phase: everything that has to be replaced after mitigation is finished. It is ordinary construction work under unusual conditions — an insurance scope, a displaced household and a schedule everyone wants shortened. Keeping mitigation and reconstruction under one contract means nobody argues about where drying ended and rebuilding began.

Structural Drying

Structural drying is the science half of restoration: removing bound moisture from framing, subfloor, plaster and concrete after the free water is gone. It is not a matter of putting fans in a room — equipment counts are calculated from cubic volume, class of loss and material type, then adjusted daily against psychrometric readings until the building matches its own unaffected baseline.

Storm Damage Restoration

Storm losses combine an envelope failure with water intrusion, and they arrive in volume — which means the first company on site is usually the one that gets the building secured before the next band of weather. We stabilise first, document the storm cause properly, then handle drying and rebuild as one continuous scope.
