Drying in phases
The response team plans the work around the business: containment walls keep dust and noise in the work zone, high-traffic areas are dried first, and equipment is placed to keep exits clear. Large LGR dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock, with readings logged daily, the same structural drying method used in homes.
Documentation for owners and tenants
Commercial claims often involve an owner, tenants and more than one insurer, so the moisture map, daily logs and photos are kept for each suite. OSHA's workplace safety site covers keeping a work area safe, and the Utah Insurance Department has information for Utah policyholders.
Commercial Water Damage questions in Riverton, UT
Can the business stay open during drying?
Often, in the areas that are safe. Containment and phased drying keep work zones separate from customers and staff.
What about water above the drop ceiling?
Ceiling tiles hide wet insulation, ducts and pipes. Moisture mapping includes the space above the ceiling, and wet tiles are replaced.
Who handles the claim in a multi-tenant building?
The owner and each tenant may have their own policies. The restoration file keeps readings and photos by suite so each insurer sees its part.
How long does commercial drying take?
Most commercial losses dry in three to five days once the equipment is set. Concrete and large open areas can take longer.
Do fire sprinkler leaks need special handling?
Sprinkler water is often stagnant and dirty, so it may be treated as Category 2 or 3. A sprinkler contractor restores the system.
Is commercial water damage covered?
Commercial policies vary widely. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer or agent.
