Commercial restoration help
When a shop on Central or an office downtown has to close, the cleanup invoice is the smaller loss. Missed sales, staff on the clock with nothing to do, and regulars who try someone else add up faster.
Albuquerque’s dry air makes surfaces look fine quickly, but water keeps moving through wall cavities, under vinyl, and into the space next door. The EPA advises drying wet building materials within 24 to 48 hours, before mold can take hold.
Strip centers and older downtown buildings often share walls, roofs, and plumbing, so a leak in one unit rarely stays there. What happens in the first few hours sets the size of the job.
On both sides of the Rio Grande, business owners, landlords, and property managers in Bernalillo and Sandoval counties call us whenever damage hits.

The first hours
Once everyone is out of harm’s way, these steps limit the damage, protect your staff, and set up your insurance claim.
Not sure whether you need to close? Call and talk it through with our crew.
Call (505) 216-6760Shut off the main or the valve feeding the leak if it’s safe to reach. For a fire sprinkler leak, call your sprinkler contractor too.
Take photos and video of damaged rooms, equipment, and inventory before anything is moved or thrown out.
Open a claim and ask about business interruption coverage. Write down the claim number and your adjuster’s name.
In a leased space, the building owner’s insurance may cover the structure while yours covers your contents and lost income.
Keep records of closed days, lost sales, and extra expenses like temporary space or overtime. Lost income claims are based on your records.
Without the right protective gear, cleanup exposes your employees to bacteria and spores.
The system can carry soot or spores through the whole building.
Keep people away from standing water near outlets, panels, and equipment.
Your adjuster may need to see it. Photograph it, list it, and set it aside.
Restaurants in Albuquerque answer to the City’s Environmental Health Department. When a fire, flood, or sewage backup creates an imminent health hazard, food code rules require the kitchen to stop and notify the health authority. Don’t reopen until it signs off.
Who we work with
Each kind of building needs a different plan. Here’s what we plan around in the buildings we work in most.
Monsoon leaks and burst lines can soak ceiling tiles and the suites underneath. We dry around workstations and server rooms and keep the floors that weren’t hit open for business.
A grease fire or a backed-up floor drain usually stops food service on the spot. We clean, sanitize, and document the kitchen so you’re ready when the health inspector comes back.
In Old Town and along Central, water and smoke reach inventory, displays, and carpet tile fast. We sort salvageable stock from losses and record both for the adjuster.
Large flat roofs hold water after a storm until it finds a seam. We protect pallets and racking, then dry slab floors and block walls before anything goes back.
A leaking water heater or an overflowing tub can reach units below and beside it. We coordinate with managers and residents and keep a separate record for each unit.
Fellowship halls, classrooms, and gyms are big spaces with tight calendars. We work around services, school days, and scheduled events whenever we can.
How we help
The goal isn’t just a dry building. It’s getting you open again as soon as it’s safe. We start by walking the space with you and deciding what has to close and what can stay open.
We section off the damage. Plastic walls and air scrubbers keep dust, soot, and spores out of the areas you’re still using, so part of the business can often keep running.
We plan around your hours. Noisy or disruptive work can be scheduled for nights or weekends when that keeps you open. Drying equipment runs around the clock.
You get one point of contact. One person keeps you, your property manager, and your adjuster up to date, and every step is documented for your insurance company.

What can be saved
Commercial buildings use different materials than homes, and many of them handle water differently. Here’s what we usually see. Your inspection gives you the real answer for your space.
They dry well and can be cleaned and sanitized, even after dirty water.
The surface usually cleans up. Water trapped underneath has to be checked and dried.
Tiles wet with clean water can often be pulled, dried, and put back. Tiles soaked by sewage or floodwater are replaced.
Drywall that stayed firm can dry in place. Swollen, sagging, or contaminated drywall is cut out, often only up to a set height.
Metal and laminate usually clean up. Particleboard that swelled is usually replaced.
Have them checked by a technician before they’re powered back on, even if they look dry.
Sealed, non-porous stock can often be cleaned. Porous stock that dirty water reached is usually a loss. List and photograph it for your claim.
Don’t throw them out. Wet documents can often be dried or freeze-dried by specialists.
Stained or sagging tiles hold water and mold, so they’re replaced.
They hold water like a sponge and usually can’t be dried well enough to save.
Throw out food exposed to floodwater, sewage, smoke, or heat, and keep a list for your claim.
Business interruption coverage, also called business income insurance, can replace lost income and pay ongoing costs like payroll while you’re closed. It applies only when your property has physical damage from an event your policy covers.
Most policies have a waiting period, often 24 to 72 hours, before it starts, and your insurer will ask for records like sales, payroll, and tax returns to set the amount. Keep track of every closed day and every extra expense from the start.
Ask your agent how long your policy pays and whether it covers extra expenses, like renting temporary space while yours is repaired.
For businesses and commercial properties
Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.
Burst supply lines, failed water heaters, and monsoon roof leaks can flood a commercial floor fast. We extract the standing water, set up dehumidifiers and air movers, and take moisture readings every day until the floors and framing test dry.
More about Water Damage Restoration
Kitchen fires and electrical faults start most commercial fires we see, and the smoke travels well beyond the burned area. Soot is acidic and keeps staining surfaces, so cleanup starts early. We remove soot, treat odor at the source, clean what can be saved, and rebuild what can’t.
More about Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
A slow leak behind a wall or above a ceiling can grow mold for weeks unnoticed. We find the moisture source, contain the area, remove the mold, and dry the space out.
More about Mold Remediation
Monsoon cells and spring wind can tear up flat roofing and push water into ceilings and walls. We dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and repair the ceilings and walls inside.
More about Storm Damage
When you’re ready to rebuild, the same crew puts it back together, from drywall to cabinets to the final coat of paint, so there’s no second contractor to hire.

Our process
Call (505) 216-6760 any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays. Tell us what happened, where, and whether you’re still open. We’ll send a crew right away.
The 24 Hour Flood Pros team finds the source and checks how far the damage spread, including the suites or floors below. We use moisture meters to find water hiding inside walls and under floors. The inspection is free.
Together we decide what closes, what stays open, and when the noisy work happens. You get one point of contact for the whole job.
Plastic walls, air scrubbers, and clear walkways keep dust and moisture out of the areas you’re still using.
Standing water is extracted, and materials that can’t be saved come out. That way we only replace what really needs it.
We test the wet areas with a moisture meter, then compare them with a dry area elsewhere in the building. When they read close to the dry one, they’re dry.
When you’re ready, the 24 Hour Flood Pros team fixes the damage, scheduled around your hours where we can. We replace drywall, ceilings, and flooring, and finish with fresh paint.
We walk through the finished work with you, and your property manager if needed. Then we send the final records to your insurance company to close out the claim.
A leak at closing time or a sprinkler that lets go at 3 a.m. gets the same response. Call any hour, and a crew can be there within 45 minutes.
Insurance and claims
Commercial property policies usually cover sudden damage from things like burst pipes, fire, and storms. Flooding from rising water is usually excluded and needs a separate flood policy. For commercial buildings, FEMA’s flood insurance program covers up to $500,000 for the building and $500,000 for contents.
In a leased space, more than one policy is often involved: the building owner’s for the structure, and yours for your contents, improvements, and lost income. We document each part separately so every adjuster gets what they need.
Your policy decides what’s covered, not us. We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. We bill your insurance directly for damage your policy covers.
If a claim stalls and talking with your insurer doesn’t resolve it, New Mexico’s Office of Superintendent of Insurance takes consumer complaints about insurance claims.
Where we work
From downtown and Old Town to Rio Rancho and the East Mountains, our crew covers the metro on both sides of the river.

Common questions
A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, so you can call the moment you find the damage.
Often, at least in part. We seal off the damaged area and filter the air, so unaffected spaces can keep running when it’s safe. After the walkthrough, we’ll tell you what has to close and for how long.
Yes. Emergency response is 24/7, and disruptive work can be scheduled outside your business hours when that keeps you open.
It can, if your policy includes business interruption coverage and the damage comes from an event your policy covers. Most policies have a waiting period before it starts, so check yours and keep records of lost sales from day one.
It depends on the leases and the policies involved. Often the building owner’s policy covers the structure, and each tenant’s policy covers their own contents and lost income. We document each space separately so every adjuster has what they need.
Not until it’s cleaned and approved. Food code rules require a kitchen to stop operating and notify the health authority after a fire, flood, or sewage backup that creates an imminent health hazard. In Albuquerque, check with the City’s Environmental Health Department before reopening.
Offices, restaurants, retail shops, warehouses, apartment complexes, churches, schools, and other commercial buildings across Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
Drying out a suite or a single floor area usually takes a few days. Jobs that need walls, ceilings, or kitchens rebuilt take longer. Your estimate includes a schedule, planned around your hours where we can.
It depends on how much of the space is affected, what has to be removed, any after-hours scheduling, and how much needs rebuilding. The inspection and estimate are free, so you know the cost before any work starts. When insurance covers the damage, we send the itemized estimate straight to your adjuster.
