What Commercial Water Damage Cleanup Includes in Hilger
No two Hilger buildings dry alike. For commercial water damage cleanup, the water type, the finishes and the hours the water sat decide the plan, and a meter plus an infrared camera show where to put the machines.
A water loss in a business is both a building problem and a revenue problem. Floors cover large areas, and stock, files and equipment sit in the path.
A failed fridge line or a split washer hose is the appliance tech's problem to fix. The soaked cabinets, the swollen floor and the wet wall behind the machine are the cleanup crew's.

How Commercial Water Damage Cleanup Works in Hilger
-
Pump out the standing water
Basements and crawl spaces get submersible pumps. When the ground outside is saturated, the crew lowers the water level in stages, because an emptied cellar can push against its own walls and slab.
-
Find every wet spot
Wet spots spread out of sight. Meters on the floor, probes at the baseboard and a peek through a small test hole show how far the water ran, and it is usually further than the stain suggests.
-
Tear out what cannot dry
A flood cut removes drywall along one straight line above the water mark. The wet board and the insulation behind it come out together, and the open bay can finally dry.
-
Dry it down and prove it
Dehumidifiers and air movers go in by the moisture map, sized to the room and the class of the loss. They run around the clock, and the hum is the sound of the water leaving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A painted wall can look fine while the insulation and studs behind it remain wet. The technician checks with a pin meter and an infrared camera, and cuts a small opening if the cavity reads high.
- Shut off water and electricity to the affected area if it is safe.
- Keep staff and customers away from wet floors and sagging ceilings.
- Move stock, files and electronics out of the water.
- Photograph the damage and the source.
- Tell the building owner or property manager.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
When drain water or sewage pushes back into a tub, toilet or floor drain, that is a backup loss. Many policies sell backup as an add-on, and without it the bill can land on the owner. The crew records the source and the category, and the insurer applies the policy.
- Do not throw out wet items until the adjuster has seen them or photos exist
- Note the name and phone number of each person you speak with at the insurer
- Save emails and texts with the landlord, the manager and the adjuster
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
