How commercial drying is run
The tech who does the walkthrough maps moisture across the space and sets a drying plan in phases, so unaffected areas can stay open. The extraction crew removes water from carpet tile and hard floors, and the drying team sets containment, large dehumidifiers and air movers sized to each zone. Readings are logged daily and shared with the owner or property manager.
For apartment communities, the same approach covers corridors, clubhouses and individual units; see apartment water damage. Contaminated water follows the Category 3 protocol in sewage backup cleanup.
Documentation and safety
A commercial claim usually needs a moisture map, daily logs, photos and a line-item scope. OSHA's flood cleanup guidance covers worker safety during water cleanup, and Ready.gov for businesses covers continuity planning.
