Signs to look for
When to call us for commercial flood cleanup
For a professional recovery, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
There is standing water and you do not know what is under it
Through an organized response, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters, and never reach blindly into floodwater or debris.
The water left a silt line and a smell
For a professional recovery, a visible tide line on drywall and a heavy earthy odor mean solids came in with the water.
Stock, files or equipment sat in the water
Through an organized response, cardboard wicks water up a pallet within minutes, and paper products draw it far above the water line.
Water crossed into the next suite
For a professional recovery, a demising wall is rarely sealed tight at the floor, so water travels under it.
A shared riser, elevator pit or common area took water
For a professional recovery, shared building elements are usually ownership professional plan, not tenant professional plan. Through an organized response, documenting the boundary on day one prevents a long argument later.
What happens
How we handle commercial flood cleanup
Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Hazard control before anyone enters
For a professional recovery, power to affected areas is confirmed off, hazards are identified, and the entry route is cleared.
Depth, boundary and contamination call documented
As each stage is completed, we record the high water line, measure the wet boundary on your floor plan, and state the water category in writing.
Bulk floodwater pumped and extracted to controlled disposal
Through an organized response, submersible pumps and sealed extraction move the water to an approved discharge point.
Mud, silt and debris removal
As each stage is completed, solids are shovelled and vacuumed out while still wet, because wet silt is far easier to remove than dried silt.
Inventory and equipment triage with a salvage list
As each stage is completed, stock is sorted into salvage, cleanable and loss, item by item or by pallet.
Flood cut and removal of unsalvageable materials
With a durable result in mind, flood soaked drywall, insulation, carpet, pad and particleboard millwork come out at a clean measured line above the wet boundary.
