Water Damage Restoration For Commercial Property Managers

When your business has standing water, proceed with caution! American Restoration Solutions provides virtual and on-site assessments 24/7. Standing water of unknown origin may contain harmful chemicals, sewage, bacteria & other harmful compounds putting facilities staff and tenants at risk of exposure. If the water is deep enough to come in contact with an electrical appliance or line, it’s possible the water could be electrified. Always call a qualified mitigation expert to assess and begin the water extraction process. Even if the water appears to be receding on it’s own, its still imperative to call a professional to assess the situation. Trapped moisture in wall coverings, under flooring & in contents can lead to mold growth and structural rot.

  • Take Moisture Readings, Water & Material Samples

Commercial water damage

  • When water damage occurs in your business, take action ASAP if safely able to do so. Actions include:

    Shutting off the water source & prevent access to the area

    Use towels or other materials to prevent water from spreading.

    Elevate furniture & belongings to keep them dry.

    DO NOT use electronics or attempt to clean up water that may be in contact with electricity. Consult with a water extraction expert like ARS before proceeding.

  • Scale! Between American Restoration Solutions own locations and our affiliates, we have an unmatched response capability. We are able to quickly deploy the right people and assets to get the job done quickly and correctly, minimizing downtime and business disruption. Running crews 24/7 or working overnight is a regular occurrence for us. We know that budgets are always a concern, and we provide upfront time & materials pricing for commercial jobs.

  • Restoration, in the simplest terms, is catch-all phrase to describe all the processes & procedures for returning your property to a pre-loss condition. Professional restoration companies follow guidelines established by the IICRC, an independent association that publishes research and best practices to providers and adjusters alike. American Restoration Solutions employs IICRC-certified project managers & technicians to guarantee the quality of your restoration project. We provide all facets of restoration under one roof, from water extraction & dry cleaning to dry outs & rebuilds. One Call, Complete Recovery.

  • Every loss is different. Small spills of clean water that can easily be mopped up might not be a reason to call, but even a small sewage backup needs professional cleaning & disinfection. Some surfaces can be cleaned & disinfected, while others should be removed because they trap bacteria and can never be thoroughly sanitized. Our IICRC-certified PMs will advise what steps are needed to properly restore your property and keep tenants and employees safe & healthy.

  • You’ve probably heard the phrase “Water is life” and nothing could be more true. While it keeps us alive, water also fuels microbial growth (aka mold), mildew, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants. Water can also cause structural rot and pose electrocution hazards. Trust American Restoration Solutions to clean up quickly, completely, and correctly.

  • No! Depending on the size of the loss, it may not make sense to file an insurance claim. Factors like claims history, deductible, coverage & your ability to pay all factor into whether it makes sense to file a claim. We provide competitive pricing and low or no-cost assessments for losses without a claim or denied clams.

  • Regardless of insurance coverage, American Restoration Solutions is here to help. Not all instances of water damage are covered but the damage still needs to be cleaned up. In order for insurance to cover the damage, the cause of loss usually needs to be considered “sudden & accidental”. Your insurance may or may not cover the repairs for the cause of loss, but they will cover the subsequent damage. Flood damage is typically covered by separate insurance or FEMA. If you have questions about your policy & coverage, we suggest speaking with us, your broker, or a pubic adjuster.

  • Typically drying begins as soon as any standing water has been extracted, contents have been moved to an unaffected area or into storage & all demolition debris has been removed. The industry standard drying time is 3-5 days. We monitor equipment & take moisture measurements throughout the process until the area is dry & ready for repairs. If hazardous materials such as mold or asbestos appear to be present or local jurisdictions require approvals first, it may add to the amount of time before work can start. Our goal is always to get your life back together as quickly as possible.
