Redmond's commercial buildings range from the office campuses of Overlake to the shops and restaurants of Redmond Town Center and Downtown, plus clinics, schools and apartment buildings. Commercial losses are usually larger and more complicated than residential ones: a fire sprinkler line that freezes or breaks, a roof drain that backs up in an atmospheric river, a restroom supply on an upper floor or condensate from HVAC equipment.
What changes on a commercial loss
- Larger areas, often with carpet tile, raised floors or suspended ceilings
- Tenants, a property manager and an owner who all need information
- Pressure to keep part of the space open while the rest dries
- Electrical, data and elevator systems that need to stay dry
How a commercial space is dried
The commercial restoration team maps the loss floor by floor, extracts the water and sets drying in phases so unaffected areas can keep running. Carpet tile is lifted and dried or replaced, ceiling tiles that took water come down, and wall cavities are dried with directed air. Large LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers handle open floor plates, and daily readings go into a log the building owner and adjuster can both use.
