Water damage when you have a business to run
Frisco has grown a lot of commercial space quickly: office parks and medical suites along the Dallas North Tollway, retail around Stonebriar, restaurants, and apartment and townhome communities with hundreds of units. A failed sprinkler head, a roof leak after hail, a restroom supply line or the unit upstairs sends water under carpet tiles, through suspended ceilings and into the space next door.
The work is the same as at home, extraction, drying, removing what can't be saved, but planned around opening hours, tenants, inventory and two or three insurance policies. The contractor should be able to section off areas, run equipment after hours and document everything for the landlord as well as for you.
Right now
What to do first
- Stop the water: the fixture valve, the suite shutoff, or call the property manager for the riser or sprinkler valve.
- Shut off power to wet areas if the panel is dry and you know which circuits.
- Move inventory, files and electronics off the floor and away from the water.
- Tell the landlord or property manager and the neighboring tenants straight away.
- Photograph everything, including damaged stock and equipment, for both insurance policies.
What commercial restoration involves
What a restoration contractor should do, so you know what to expect and what to ask.
Planning around operations
Work is phased so parts of the space can stay open, and noisy equipment can run after hours.
Extraction
Carpet tiles, hard floors and back rooms are extracted; ceiling tiles that took water come down.
Drying at scale
Larger dehumidifiers and more air movers for open floor plans; readings across the whole affected area.
Shared walls and units
Adjoining suites and the units below are checked, since water doesn't stop at the lease line.
Documentation
Detailed photos, logs and invoices for the tenant's and the owner's insurers.
Rebuild coordination
Drywall, flooring and ceiling repairs, often with the landlord's preferred contractors.

Questions
Commercial Water Damage: common questions
Can we stay open during drying?
Often, if the affected area can be sectioned off safely. The contractor will advise based on the extent, trip hazards from equipment and cords, and any contamination.
Whose insurance pays, mine or the landlord's?
Usually the landlord's policy covers the building and yours covers your contents, improvements and lost income. Your lease spells out who is responsible for what. Notify both insurers.
Do you handle apartment communities and HOAs?
Yes. Calls from property managers, landlords and HOAs are connected with restoration companies that do multi-unit work.
