Facility types we restore
Storage, processing and production environments each impose a different drying problem. Choose the closest match to your facility.
Water damage restoration for logistics and industrial facilities
Racked inventory, production lines and refrigerated space do not tolerate standing water or slow drying. We mobilize large-loss crews and desiccant capacity to Georgia warehouses, distribution centers and plants — and keep whatever part of the operation can run, running.
- Large-loss equipment packages, not a domestic package scaled up
- Racking, pallet and product triage documented for your carrier
- Concrete slab and cavity drying verified to the S500 dry standard
- IICRC-certified commercial crews, working to ANSI/IICRC S500 drying standards. We work with all commercial insurance carriers and bill them directly.

Common Causes
Where these losses usually start
Industrial water losses rarely begin small. These are the failure points that produce the large ones.
1
Frozen and burst sprinkler mains
Unheated warehouse space and loading docks freeze during Georgia cold snaps. A ruptured wet-system main can release thousands of gallons across a floorplate before anyone reaches the valve.
2
Roof drains and internal downpipes
Blocked internal drains on large flat roofs back up under ponding load, then discharge through ceiling penetrations directly onto racked product below.
3
Dock levelers and door seals
Wind-driven rain enters at dock seals and leveler pits, then runs inboard along the slab into the first two or three bays of pick face before it is spotted.
4
Process water and wash-down systems
Failed hose stations, floor drains and process lines flood production halls with water that is rarely clean, pushing the loss into Category 2 or 3 immediately.
5
Refrigeration and glycol systems
Coil leaks, failed defrost drains and glycol line failures saturate insulated panel joints, where moisture is close to impossible to find without thermal imaging.
6
Compressor rooms and cable trenches
Cooling failures in compressor and hydraulic rooms flood pits and cable trenches, threatening switchgear and controls well before the production floor is affected.
Our Approach
How we work in a live facility
Every decision is sequenced against what your operation still has to move, make or store today.
Isolate, de-energize, make safe
Before extraction starts we work with your engineering team to isolate affected circuits, confirm forklift routes and mark exclusion zones. Nothing is re-energized until it has been verified dry.
Bulk extraction and slab management
Truck-mounted extraction clears standing water fast. Concrete holds far more moisture than the surface suggests, so slabs are mapped, mat-dried and monitored rather than assumed dry.
Product and racking triage
Pallets are assessed by position, packaging type and exposure. Restorable stock is separated, damaged stock is photographed and inventoried for the claim, and racking is checked for corrosion and load integrity.
Verify dry, then hand back
Desiccant and low-grain refrigerant dehumidification runs until readings meet the S500 standard, evidenced daily. Reinstatement covers insulated panels, floor coatings, dock equipment and finishes.
Large-loss capability
Trailer-mounted desiccant, temporary power support and crews sized for six-figure square footage, mobilized as one package rather than assembled on the day.
Operations-aware sequencing
Work is phased by aisle, bay and shift so receiving, picking and dispatch keep moving wherever the building allows it.
Safe systems of work
Method statements and risk assessments issued before mobilization, with crews inducted to your site rules and permit-to-work system.
Documentation
Records your engineers, auditors and carrier will ask for
Industrial claims are won and lost on evidence gathered in the first 48 hours.
Sanitation evidence for food environments
Wash-down and processing areas are cleaned and treated to a documented protocol, with swab points and product data recorded for USDA or FDA review.
Equipment condition reporting
Motors, drives, panels and controls are inspected, photographed and reported, so decisions on repair, replacement or specialist recovery are evidenced rather than assumed.
Moisture verification logs
Daily readings by location against a defined dry standard, issued as a formal report with a turnaround within 24 hours..
Business-interruption support
Downtime, affected square footage and product loss are logged from the first hour, giving your broker the substantiation a business-interruption claim needs.

Before It Happens
Enroll a property in a Priority Response Agreement
The difference between a 60-minute response and a three-hour one is usually the information we do not have yet. Pre-need enrollment removes that gap.
- Pre-registered site details, access notes and key contacts on file
- First-in-line dispatch ahead of unregistered callers
- Agreed commercial rates and scope format before an incident
- A written response plan your on-site team can actually follow
- Portfolio onboarding typically takes 3–5 business days.. This form is for planning only — if water is coming in now, call (800) 555-0182.
Pre-need enrollment
No obligation. A commercial account manager will follow up.
By submitting, you authorize Commercial Water Damage to contact you about your request. You’re not required to consent as a condition of any service. See our Terms & Privacy Policy.
Frequently asked questions
The questions facility and property managers ask us most often about this kind of property.
Can you dry a warehouse without emptying it?
Often, yes. We work aisle by aisle, relocating pallets within the building where floor space allows and using containment to create a drying chamber around the affected bays. Full de-stocking is only recommended where the racking itself is compromised or where the product is at risk from the drying conditions.
How do you handle product that may be salvageable?
Product is triaged by position and packaging before anything moves. Sealed and outer-layer stock is often recoverable; absorbent packaging and food product usually is not. Everything is photographed, counted and inventoried against your own records so the carrier receives a defensible list rather than an estimate.
Do you work around our shift patterns?
Yes, and we plan for them from the first site visit. Equipment placement, hose routing and crew movements are set against your shift changes, forklift routes and dispatch windows so the parts of the operation that can run are not obstructed.
Is a wet concrete slab really a problem if the surface looks dry?
Yes. A slab can read dry at the surface while holding substantial moisture below, which then emerges under a new floor covering as adhesive failure, blistering or microbial growth months later. We map slab moisture, mat-dry where necessary, and record readings against a defined standard before anything is laid back over it.
Who deals with our insurance company?
We document the loss thoroughly, provide the scope and evidence your adjuster needs, and bill your carrier directly wherever the policy allows. Commercial Water Damage is a restoration contractor. We are not a licensed public adjuster and we do not negotiate, adjust or settle insurance claims on your behalf. We document the loss factually and provide that documentation to you and to your carrier. For advice on the interpretation or settlement of your policy, speak to your broker or a licensed public adjuster.
Can you cover multiple sites across Georgia?
Yes. We are headquartered in Atlanta and dispatch across all 159 Georgia counties. For multi-site operators, a Priority Response Agreement holds site access, contacts and permit requirements on file so crews mobilize immediately; onboarding typically takes [[PRA_ONBOARD_DAYS]].
