What every commercial water damage job includes
Extraction comes first
Truck-mounted and portable extractors pull free water before any fan goes down, since lifting liquid water out is far faster than evaporating it.
Dried to IICRC S500
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are sized to the class of loss, and the equipment stays until readings sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
A claim file built on site
Moisture maps, daily psychrometric logs and timestamped photos taken before any demolition give the adjuster a clear record of the loss.
Valley houses, valley habits
Slab floors with copper underneath, attic air handlers and large floor plans decide where water hides, so the walkthrough checks each one.

What the claim file holds
Ranges are typical, not a quote: the water category, square footage, material class and how fast drying started move the number most. Sudden and accidental water from a pipe, appliance or tank is often covered by a homeowner policy, while surface flooding usually needs a separate flood policy, so check your own policy.
The mitigation team builds the file an adjuster reads: a moisture map, daily psychrometric logs, timestamped photos taken before demolition, the category and class, and a line-item scope. For a closer range, run the water damage cost calculator.

Report
Logs are shared with the manager.
Pomona has hospital and rehabilitation campuses, a university, exhibition buildings, schools and the downtown Arts District and Antique Row, so commercial water jobs rarely look alike. Each building type brings different floors, rules and downtime limits.
Different buildings, different plans
A clinic hallway, a classroom, an exhibition hall and a shop on Antique Row do not dry the same way. Flooring, ceiling height, occupancy and the type of contents all change the plan, so the team surveys first and sets equipment by zone rather than by a standard recipe.
Keeping the doors open
Closing a whole building for a leak in one suite costs more than the leak. Containment barriers separate wet areas from dry ones, and equipment is placed to leave aisles, exits and key rooms usable. Extraction and drying can run after hours when the space is empty.
Records that support the claim
Commercial claims depend on documentation. The team logs moisture readings, photographs affected areas and notes each material removed or dried, so a property manager, tenant and insurer can compare the same facts. Large floor areas may mean extended structural drying, so progress is reported at each stage.

Commercial Water Damage questions, answered
Still dealing with it?
Business or building flooded? Describe the suites and floors and the zoned plan begins.
(888) 563-9619 Describe the buildingCan a business stay open during water cleanup?
Often, in part. Containment and zoned drying keep unaffected rooms usable, and noisy work can be scheduled after hours. The layout and the extent of the water decide.
Who handles a commercial claim?
The property owner, tenant or both, depending on the lease and the policy. The restoration team provides readings, photos and an itemized invoice that either side can send to an insurer.
How are large floors dried?
In zones, with air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the room volume. Wet carpet tile, ceiling tile and drywall are removed first, then the slab and framing are dried to match dry readings.
What happens to wet inventory and records?
Items are moved to dry space and sorted. Paper and cardboard that stayed wet are usually discarded, while metal, plastic and sealed goods can often be cleaned and kept.
Do schools and medical buildings follow different rules?
They can, with stricter limits on contamination, air quality and access. The team coordinates with the facility manager so any building rules are met.
