Commercial claim documentation for owners, tenants and insurers

Often, in part. Containment walls separate the work areas, and the loudest work is scheduled when the property is quiet. Areas with Category 3 water stay closed until they are treated.
How is commercial water damage priced?
By the square footage, the water category, the materials and the days the equipment runs, plus any phasing around business hours.
Who documents the loss for the insurer?
The restoration contractor who responds records the source, a moisture map, daily readings and the scope by area. Owners and tenants each send it to their own insurers.
What about water that reaches more than one unit?
In apartment and office buildings, water often travels into the unit or suite below. Each affected unit gets its own readings and documentation.
Does commercial insurance cover water damage?
Commercial property policies vary widely, and business interruption coverage is separate. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
