Disaster Recovery Planning is often an afterthought. For those entities that are fortunate enough to have a plan, many times it has been developed without the benefit of a Disaster Recovery firm. ATI has helped thousands of clients prepare for and recover from disaster events. When identifying your Disaster Recovery Team of internal and external stakeholders, be sure to include more than one Disaster Recovery provider. This will ensure that you are adequately prepared if an emergency or disaster occurs.

Emergencies and disasters often pose major challenges to smaller companies. These challenges can impact their ability to respond quickly, staff the work, and deal effectively with a myriad of resulting environmental issues.

Small firms and franchises often have limited local resources and can be quickly overwhelmed. Their resources may be adequate for day-to-day events, but when dealing with a large-scale disaster or widespread emergency storm event, small teams can quickly find themselves overwhelmed. With multiple emergencies occurring at once, small firms and franchises may not be able to respond at all.

For larger emergency and disaster events, larger firms with scalability are critical. With more resources readily available at their disposal, larger Disaster Recovery firms will:
• Implement a quick response & recovery plan
• Limit operational interruption
• Contain and mitigate environmental, toxic or biological exposures
• Be in full compliance with regulations to avoid unnecessary fines & penalties
• Safeguard all stakeholders from potential illness or injury

When identifying your Disaster Recovery Team of internal and external stakeholders, be sure to include one or more large Disaster Recovery providers. This will ensure that you are adequately prepared if a larger-scale disaster occurs.

The Three Categories of Commercial Water Damage

There are three types of water damage that can affect commercial properties:

Category 1 (clean water) from freshwater sources
Category 2 (gray water) from sinks, tubs, and laundry machines
Category 3 (black water) from sewage backups, seawater, and ground surface water

While any type of water intrusion can cause damage, black water contains toxins and pollutants that are harmful to humans. Our HAZWOPER-trained technicians are qualified to address all types of water damage safely and effectively, helping you resume normal business operations in the shortest amount of time possible.

Regardless of the category of water that has damaged your commercial property, quick action is paramount to prevent further damage and mitigate health risks. We are available 24/7/365 to come to your location and craft and begin a customized water damage restoration plan without delay.

Leading Causes of Commercial Water Damage

There are several types of commercial buildings. The type of building, its use, and its location will all play a role in the types of water damage it may be most susceptible to. However, some of the most common causes of water damage to commercial properties include:

Plumbing Issues

From a simple leak to a burst pipe, plumbing issues can cause severe water damage, especially if not detected and addressed promptly.

Faulty Appliances and Equipment

Commercial buildings often house large appliances and systems, such as HVAC units, water heaters, and commercial refrigeration units. If these malfunction, they can cause substantial water damage.

Roof Leaks

Damaged or aged roofs can let water seep into a building, especially during heavy rains or snowfall. This can lead to significant damage, including mold and structural issues.

Natural Disasters

Events like hurricanes, heavy rains, and floods can cause extensive water damage.

Sprinkler System Failure

Commercial properties are equipped with sprinkler systems for fire safety. However, if they malfunction or go off accidentally, they can cause significant water damage.

Sewage Backup

Sewage backups are particularly problematic. In addition to causing water damage, they also pose a significant health hazard due to the contamination involved.

These incidents can occur without warning, making it essential to have a trusted partner like ATI Restoration that you can rely on no matter the time of day. With our 24-Hour Emergency Response, trained and certified restoration professionals, and advanced technology, we are fully equipped to manage commercial water damage swiftly and efficiently.

The Commercial Water Damage Restoration Process

Commercial water damage restoration requires a systematic, step-by-step process to ensure all areas are appropriately addressed. This allows us to ensure the property is restored to its original state or better.

While each project is unique, steps often included in the water damage restoration process include:

Inspection and Damage Assessment

The first step is always a thorough inspection and evaluation to determine the extent of the water damage. Our IICRC-certified experts evaluate the type and category of water damage to develop an effective restoration plan.

Water Removal and Extraction

Using state-of-the-art equipment, we promptly remove standing water and extract water from saturated materials to prevent further damage and mold growth.

Drying and Dehumidification

Post-water extraction, our team uses industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove any remaining moisture. We closely monitor this process to ensure optimal drying.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean, sanitize, and deodorize the affected areas and items. This step is crucial to prevent mold and mildew and to eliminate any potential contaminants.

Restoration and Repair

The final step involves restoring and repairing your commercial property to its pre-damage condition. This may include plumbing repairs along with things like carpet replacement, drywall restoration, and complete reconstruction. Our teams are composed of skilled workers from a variety of trades, helping to ensure we send the best professionals for every job.

Post-Restoration Verification

After we have completed our work, we conduct a final walkthrough. This allows you to assess our work, ask any questions you have, and ensure the property meets your standards. We are committed to providing the highest quality restoration services for optimal customer satisfaction.

At ATI Restoration, our focus is not just to restore your commercial property but also to minimize your business downtime. With meticulous care and professional excellence, we strive to make the restoration process as smooth and efficient as possible.

What is the difference between water mitigation and water damage restoration?

Water mitigation is a preventative measure. Our team evaluates your building for areas of water risk and helps you make any adjustments or repairs to your building. Water restoration is the process of repairing the damage caused by water being where it shouldn’t be in your building.

What are the different types of water damage?

Water damage ranges from small leaks to complete flooding. A sewage backup could cause lots of trouble and push wastewater or blackwater back into your facility. A derecho can cause flooding that damages most of your property. To plan the type of water damage response depends on the classification of water. This is based on the amount of contaminants in the water.

Damage caused by water that is generally clean and is not harmful is considered as a category 1 of water damage. It is common to refer to this as clean water damage. The most common causes for a category 1 type of damage are faulty sprinkler systems and leaking water line faucets.

Category 2 includes water that has been contaminated and can cause harm if you try to mitigate the damage without the proper protective gear. This type of water is called gray water and can cause sickness due to the levels of microorganisms and biological matter.

The last category of water is life threatening; it is unsanitary, referred to as black water. It contains dangerous toxigenic agents and pathogens from standing water or raw sewage. If ingested, inhaled, or touched, this type of water can be deadly. Fast response from trained professionals is necessary. Without the proper PPE, exposure to this type of water through the mucous membranes or any cuts and punctures on the body can lead to death. This type of water is referred to as category 3.Time is of the essence when it comes to the flood restoration process. Standing water is the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow. Also, bacteria and bacterial spores spread quickly, a category 1 can easily become a category 2 or even 3.

What are the most common signs of water damage?

There are some signs of water damage to be aware of if your property didn’t experience visible water damage. Peeling paint and wallpaper, mold and mildew, condensation, musty smell, and damp/wet carpets, carpet pads, and rugs are all common signs.

Do you offer water and flood services in my area?

Yes, ATI is fully equipped to service customers dealing with flood damage nationwide. With numerous offices and pre-loaded catastrophe (CAT) trailers strategically placed throughout the continental US, we are ready to assist you.
