Commercial Water Damage questions in Cedarhurst, NY
Does the shop have to close while it dries?
Often, in part. Drying is phased by zone, so unaffected areas can keep operating while the wet area is contained.
Who handles the insurance paperwork?
The owner and tenant file with their insurers. The drying team provides moisture maps, photos and logs for each claim.
What if several tenants are affected?
Each space is mapped separately and the shared structure is dried as one plan, which keeps every claim documented.
How long does drying take?
Most jobs take three to seven days, and larger spaces or heavier materials take longer.
