How commercial water damage restoration is handled in Sandy, step by step
Mapped before anything moves
The tech who does the walkthrough traces how far the water traveled, including into subfloor, baseboard and wall cavities, so the plan matches what is actually wet.
Dried as a structure
The drying team sizes air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to each room's class of loss, and dries framing and cavities, not just the surfaces you can see.
Documented for the claim
The restoration team keeps a moisture map, daily psychrometric readings and timestamped photos taken before any material comes out.

The commercial water damage restoration process in Sandy, UT
- 1
Moisture mapping
The tech who does the walkthrough maps wet materials with pinless meters and a thermal camera before any equipment goes down.
- 2
Extraction
The extraction crew pulls standing water with truck-mounted units, so it leaves the building instead of spreading into the next room.
- 3
Air movers and LGR
Air movers go in at each room's evaporation load while LGR dehumidifiers pull that moisture back out of the air.
- 4
Dry verification
Readings are logged daily, and the drying team pulls equipment only when materials sit within the IICRC S500 drying goal.
Sandy's commercial areas run along State Street and I-15, from the South Towne retail corridor to The Cairns and the Sandy City Center offices, plus the churches, schools and apartment complexes spread across the city. Water losses there come from fire sprinkler lines, rooftop units, restroom supply lines, water heaters in mechanical rooms and a unit above leaking into a unit below.
How a commercial water loss is handled
- A walkthrough with the owner or manager to set priorities: open areas, sensitive rooms, tenants affected
- Moisture mapping across every affected suite or unit, including shared walls and ceilings
- Truck-mounted extraction and containment to separate work areas from open space
- Large LGR dehumidifiers and desiccants sized to the building, with air movers set to each area's load
- Daily drying logs and photos for the owner, the property manager and the adjuster
Keeping the doors open
Phased work lets part of a business keep operating while the wet section dries behind containment. The mitigation team can schedule noisy work around business hours where the drying goal allows it. In multifamily buildings, every affected unit gets its own readings, since water from one unit often travels through shared ceilings and walls into two or three others.
