Commercial restoration help

Why the first hours matter for your business

Restoration crew drying a water damaged space

Ski season, conventions, and the downtown lunch crowd make timing everything here. A closure costs bookings, shifts, and customers who head to another spot on the same block, well beyond what the repairs cost.

Wasatch Front air is dry, so a wet wall can look fine on the surface. Water keeps moving underneath flooring, behind baseboards, and into the next suite. The EPA advises drying wet building materials within 24 to 48 hours, before mold can take hold.

Downtown towers, Sugar House storefronts, and the big industrial buildings west of I-215 share roofs, risers, and sprinkler systems. One failure can reach several tenants. The first hours determine the size of the job.

Business owners, property managers, and facilities teams across Salt Lake and Davis counties call us when cold, water, wind, or fire takes a building down.

The first hours

What to do when damage hits your business

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 (801) 301-9825

What to do

  • Stop the water if you can

    Shut 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.

  • Photograph everything

    Take photos and video of damaged rooms, equipment, and inventory before anything is moved or thrown out.

  • Call your insurance agent

    Open a claim and ask about business interruption coverage. Write down the claim number and your adjuster’s name.

  • Tell your landlord or property manager

    In a leased space, the building owner’s insurance may cover the structure while yours covers your contents and lost income.

  • Track lost sales and extra costs

    Keep records of closed days, lost sales, and extra expenses like temporary space or overtime. Lost income claims are based on your records.

What not to do

  • Don’t have staff clean up sewage or mold

    Without the right protective gear, cleanup exposes your employees to bacteria and spores.

  • Don’t run the heat or air if there’s smoke or mold

    The system can carry soot or spores through the whole building.

  • Don’t use electrical equipment in wet areas

    Keep people away from standing water near outlets, panels, and equipment.

  • Don’t throw out damaged inventory yet

    Your adjuster may need to see it. Photograph it, list it, and set it aside.

  • Don’t reopen food service too soon

    The Salt Lake County Health Department inspects food businesses here. If a fire, flood, or sewage backup creates an imminent health hazard, food code rules require a kitchen to stop and notify the health authority. It can reopen only with the department’s approval.

Who we work with

Commercial properties we restore in Salt Lake City

Each kind of building needs a different plan. Here’s what we plan around in the buildings we work in most.

  • Offices and Office Buildings

    A frozen line in an exterior wall or a sprinkler break in a tower can drip through several floors. We dry around workstations and server rooms and keep the floors that stayed dry working.

  • Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens

    Restaurants downtown and in Sugar House lose service after a hood fire, sprinkler activation, or grease line backup. We clean, sanitize, and keep the paperwork Salt Lake County will want to see.

  • Retail Stores

    Snowmelt leaks and roof damage over retail floors reach outdoor gear, apparel, and displays. We sort salvageable stock from losses and record both.

  • Warehouses and Industrial Spaces

    Distribution buildings west of the airport have long sprinkler runs and dock doors that let cold in. We protect pallets and racking, then dry the slab and tilt-up walls.

  • Apartments, Condos, and HOAs

    Valley apartment buildings often run supply lines through exterior walls, so one hard freeze can damage several units at once. We schedule entry with managers and residents and keep separate records for each unit.

  • Churches, Schools, and Community Buildings

    Wasatch Front churches, schools, and community centers keep full weekly schedules. Cleanup is timed around worship, classes, and events.

How we help

How we keep your business running while we work

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 we plan around

  • A broken sprinkler line

    What it usually meansA lot of water fast, often across a whole floor

    How we handle itExtract it quickly, then dry the floors, walls, and ceilings below.

  • Damage that spread to other tenants

    What it usually meansMore than one business, and more than one insurance policy

    How we handle itDocument each space separately for each owner and adjuster.

  • A restaurant kitchen hit by fire or water

    What it usually meansFood service stops until cleanup and inspection

    How we handle itClean, sanitize, and document so you’re ready for the health inspection.

  • Sewage in restrooms or a basement

    What it usually meansContaminated water and a health risk to staff

    How we handle itSeal the area off, remove what it touched, then clean and sanitize.

  • Smoke pulled through the HVAC system

    What it usually meansSoot and odor in areas the fire never reached

    How we handle itClean the ducts and the spaces they feed, not just the burned room.

  • Damage during business hours

    What it usually meansCustomers and staff near the work area

    How we handle itClose off the area so open spaces can keep running safely.

What can be saved

What can be saved in a commercial space

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.

  • Concrete floors, block walls, and metal studs

    Usually dried and kept

    They dry well and can be cleaned and sanitized, even after dirty water.

  • Commercial vinyl and tile floors

    Usually dried and kept

    The surface usually cleans up. Water trapped underneath has to be checked and dried.

  • Carpet tile

    Depends on water and timing

    Tiles wet with clean water can often be pulled, dried, and put back. Tiles soaked by sewage or floodwater are replaced.

  • Drywall

    Depends on water and timing

    Drywall that stayed firm can dry in place. Swollen, sagging, or contaminated drywall is cut out, often only up to a set height.

  • Office furniture and fixtures

    Depends on water and timing

    Metal and laminate usually clean up. Particleboard that swelled is usually replaced.

  • Computers, servers, and equipment

    Depends on water and timing

    Have them checked by a technician before they’re powered back on, even if they look dry.

  • Inventory and stock

    Depends on water and timing

    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.

  • Paper files and records

    Depends on water and timing

    Don’t throw them out. Wet documents can often be dried or freeze-dried by specialists.

  • Ceiling tiles

    Usually replaced

    Stained or sagging tiles hold water and mold, so they’re replaced.

  • Insulation and carpet pad

    Usually replaced

    They hold water like a sponge and usually can’t be dried well enough to save.

  • Food and kitchen supplies that were exposed

    Usually replaced

    Throw out food exposed to floodwater, sewage, smoke, or heat, and keep a list for your claim.

Business interruption coverage: what to know

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

Other restoration services we offer in Salt Lake City

Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.

Water Damage service

Water Damage

Frozen lines in exterior walls, failed water heaters, and spring runoff seeping into basements keep us busy. 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
Fire and Smoke Damage service

Fire and Smoke Damage

Kitchen fires, furnaces, and space heaters cause many winter fires, and summer wildfire smoke can settle in the valley. 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
Mold Remediation service

Mold Remediation

Dry air doesn’t stop mold where water is trapped in a basement, behind a wall, or under a roof leak. We find the moisture source, contain the area, remove the mold, and dry the space out.

More about Mold Remediation
Storm Damage service

Storm Damage

Canyon winds can tear roofing loose, and heavy snow brings ice dams and meltwater leaks. We dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and repair the ceilings and walls inside.

More about Storm Damage
Reconstruction service

Reconstruction

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

What happens after you call

  1. 1

    You call, we send a crew

    Call (801) 301-9825 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.

  2. 2

    We walk the space with you

    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.

  3. 3

    We plan around your business

    Together we decide what closes, what stays open, and when the noisy work happens. You get one point of contact for the whole job.

  4. 4

    We protect the open areas

    Plastic walls, air scrubbers, and clear walkways keep dust and moisture out of the areas you’re still using.

  5. 5

    We remove water and damaged materials

    Standing water is extracted, and materials that can’t be saved come out. That way we only replace what really needs it.

  6. 6

    We dry it and check 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.

  7. 7

    We make the repairs

    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.

  8. 8

    Final check with you

    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.

Damage after hours?

Pipes freeze on the coldest Wasatch nights and snowmelt leaks show up on weekends. Call whenever you find it, and a crew can be there within 45 minutes.

Insurance and claims

Help with your commercial insurance claim

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.

Utah businesses whose claims have stalled can file a consumer complaint with the Utah Insurance Department.

What your adjuster will ask for

  • The date, time, and cause of the damage
  • Photos and video of damaged areas, equipment, and inventory
  • A list of damaged stock and equipment
  • Records of closed days, lost sales, and extra expenses

What we send them

  • Date-stamped photos of each affected area
  • Moisture readings and drying records
  • A line-by-line estimate for cleanup and rebuild
  • One point of contact for your adjuster and property manager

Common questions

Salt Lake City commercial restoration FAQs

How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to my business?

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.

Can my business stay open during restoration?

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.

Do you work nights and weekends?

Yes. Emergency response is 24/7, and disruptive work can be scheduled outside your business hours when that keeps you open.

Does business insurance cover lost income?

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.

Who pays when water comes from another tenant’s unit?

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.

Can a restaurant reopen right after a fire or flood?

The Salt Lake County Health Department must sign off first. Under food code rules, a fire, flood, or sewage backup that creates an imminent health hazard requires closing the kitchen. The health authority must be notified.

What kinds of commercial properties do you work on?

Offices, restaurants, shops, warehouses and distribution centers, apartment buildings, churches, and schools from downtown and Sugar House to Sandy, West Jordan, and Bountiful.

How long does commercial restoration take?

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.

How much does commercial restoration cost in Salt Lake City?

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.
