Commercial and multi-unit
For the building, not just the room in it.
A burst line in an office building is a different problem from a burst line in a house. There are tenants to keep informed, mechanical systems that cannot be shut down casually, a claim with more than one party on it, and a business losing money for every hour a floor is out of use. We have done that work.
Property managers, building owners, facility directors, condo and HOA boards, schools, clinics, restaurants and retail. Water, mold, fire and smoke, plus the asbestos testing that has to happen before anything in an older building is opened.

What we take on
Four kinds of loss, one contractor.
Most commercial losses arrive as one problem and reveal two more. Being set up for all four means the building does not sit half-finished while a second company is found.
Everything we doWater damage in a commercial building
Extraction and structural drying across tenant spaces, common areas, mechanical rooms and below-grade space — with the drying plan built around what the building has to keep doing while it dries.
Mold in a multi-unit or occupied building
Assessment, containment and remediation where growth has reached more than one unit or a shared assembly, and where the work has to happen without closing the whole floor.
Fire and smoke damage
Board-up, water from the hoses, soot removal and odor treatment, scoped room by room so the parts of the building that were untouched can come back into use first.
Asbestos testing before anything is opened
Sampling and a written report before a repair, a renovation or a demolition opens a wall, ceiling or floor in an older building — the step that keeps a repair from becoming a compliance problem.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, including emergencies. Property managers, schools, restaurants, clinics and office and retail buildings are all work we take on.
What matters to a business
Downtime, occupants, and a file that holds up.
Nobody in a commercial job is worried about the same things a homeowner is. These are the four that come up in every one.
Limiting downtime, not just drying a room
We plan the work around which spaces can be out of service and for how long, and stage equipment so corridors, exits and the systems the building depends on stay usable. The job still has to be done properly — the sequence is what we can move, not the standard.
Working around tenants and occupied space
Containment, negative air where it is called for, protected floors, and work hours that match the building. Tenants get told what is happening and when, and the crew is dressed and equipped for a building people are still using.
Documenting conditions with a report
Photographs, moisture readings, sample locations, thermal images where they apply, and a written scope of what is wet, what can be dried, what has to come out and why. One document the adjuster, the owner and the next contractor can all read.
Coordinating with your insurance
We document to the standard an adjuster asks for, talk the job through with them directly where that helps, and keep the scope and the invoice lined up so nothing has to be re-argued later.
What we will not do is quote a guaranteed turnaround before we have seen the building. What we can tell you on the phone is what the work usually involves, what we would need to see first, and which questions to ask your insurer.
