Home/Commercial/Water Damage Restoration

Commercial water damage restorationin San Francisco.

Water in an office, a storefront, a restaurant or a multi-unit building stops business and spreads between floors and tenants. We document the loss, remove what is damaged, get the space dry and rebuild it, phased around the people still using the building.

Why It Is Different

Commercial water losses are coordination problems.

The repair is the easy part. Keeping the building working while it happens is the job.

Tenants and floors

Water crosses suite and floor lines. We scope every affected space and sequence the work so open suites stay open.

Fire and life safety

Rated walls, ceilings, sprinkler heads and exit paths that are opened up are restored and inspected, not just patched.

One scope for everyone

The owner, the tenant and the adjuster work from the same itemized scope and photo record.

The Work

What a commercial restoration covers.

We start with a walk of every affected space, then write a scope that separates what is urgent from what can be scheduled. Drying and removal come first; rebuild follows on a schedule the building can live with.

Loss walk, moisture tracing and photo record
Removal of wet ceilings, drywall, insulation and flooring
Drying and a dry check before close-up
Mold-affected material removal and treatment
Rebuild of rated assemblies, ceilings, walls and finishes
Storefront, restroom and kitchen area repair
Permits, inspections and closeout documents

How It Works

From first call to reopened space.

The same steps as any commercial project, compressed for a loss.

Walk and scope

We walk every affected space with you, document the loss and separate urgent items from scheduled repair.

Stabilize and dry

Damaged materials come out and the space is dried and checked before rebuild, sequenced around occupied suites.

Rebuild and close out

Permitted repair, inspections where required, punch list and a closeout package for the owner and the insurer.

Common Questions

Commercial Water Damage FAQ.

Anything else, ask in the form at the top of the page.

Can you work around our business hours?

Commercial repair work can be phased and scheduled for evenings and weekends where the building allows it. We plan the sequence with you and the building at the site walk.

Who do you coordinate with?

The owner or property manager, the building engineer, affected tenants and the insurer's adjuster. One project manager keeps everyone working from the same written scope.

Do you handle emergency water removal?

Call us as soon as it happens. We will tell you on that call what we can do and how soon, and if the first step needs an emergency water removal crew, we will say so plainly.

Does the rebuild need permits?

Often, yes, when framing, fire-rated assemblies, plumbing, electrical or accessibility items are affected. We identify permit items in the scope and run them through SF DBI.

Can you document the loss for insurance?

We provide a photo record and an itemized written scope of the repair. Coverage decisions belong to the insurer.
