Frequently asked questions
Who pays when water comes from another unit?
That depends on the association's governing documents and each owner's insurance. The restoration team documents where the water came from and where it went; insurers and the association determine responsibility.
Can drying be done while a business stays open?
Often, in part. Affected areas can be contained and dried while unaffected areas stay in use, as long as it is safe. The plan depends on the space, the water category and the equipment needed.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We can coordinate access, communicate with multiple owners and provide documentation for associations and management companies.
