Potential sources include:
- Burst pipes.
- Plumbing leaks.
- Roof leaks.

A building may be affected by:

- Smoke.
- Soot.
- Odours.
- Firefighting water.
- Damaged contents.

Commercial fire restoration may involve cleanup, smoke and soot removal, water damage restoration, contents handling, repairs, and reconstruction.

Smoke and soot can travel beyond areas directly affected by fire.
Residue may settle on:
- Walls.
- Ceilings.
- Fixtures.
- Equipment.
- Inventory.
- Furniture.
- Flooring.
- Ventilation systems.
Different surfaces and materials may require different cleaning methods.
The restoration plan should consider both visible contamination and areas where smoke may have travelled.

Sewage backups can create significant disruption in commercial buildings.
Affected spaces may need to be isolated from normal operations until cleanup is complete.
Professional sewage cleanup may include:
- Removal of contaminated water.
- Removal of affected materials.
- Cleaning and sanitizing.
- Structural drying.
- Odour treatment.
- Restoration.
Avoid unnecessary contact with sewage-contaminated areas.

Mold remediation may involve:
- Moisture assessment.
- Identification of affected materials.
- Containment where appropriate.
- Material removal.
- Cleaning.
- Structural drying.
- Moisture-source correction.

The moisture source should be addressed as part of the remediation process.

- Heavy rainfall.
- Roof damage.

Property damage may affect:
- Tenants.
- Common areas.

Our Commercial Restoration Process
Every commercial property loss is different, but restoration generally follows a structured process.
1. Request Service
Provide information about the property, type of damage, affected areas, and whether the loss is still active.
2. Assess the Damage
The property is evaluated to determine the source and apparent extent of the loss.
3. Establish Priorities
Immediate safety concerns, operational requirements, active water intrusion, and critical building areas are identified.
4. Begin Emergency Mitigation
Appropriate steps may be taken to help limit additional damage.
5. Remove Water or Damaged Materials
Standing water, debris, contaminated materials, soot, or other damaged materials may need to be removed.
6. Dry and Clean the Property
Affected areas are dried, cleaned, sanitized, or remediated as required.
7. Coordinate Restoration
Repair work is planned around the extent of the damage and operational needs of the property.
8. Reconstruct Where Required
More significant losses may require reconstruction of damaged areas.
9. Complete Final Restoration
Affected areas are repaired and prepared for normal use where appropriate.
Minimizing Business Disruption
Commercial restoration involves more than repairing building materials.
A property loss may affect:
- Employees.
- Customers.
- Tenants.
- Inventory.
- Equipment.
- Revenue.
- Access to the building.
Where practical, restoration planning may consider phased work, separation of affected areas, coordination with property management, and prioritization of critical spaces.
The ability to maintain partial operations depends on the type of damage and whether unaffected areas can be used safely.
Commercial Restoration Documentation
Larger restoration projects can require detailed records.
Documentation may include:
- Photographs.
- Damage assessments.
- Areas affected.
- Moisture readings.
- Emergency work performed.
- Materials removed.
- Drying records.
- Restoration work.
- Contractor invoices.
- Repair documentation.
Good documentation can support communication between owners, property managers, contractors, and insurers.
Commercial Insurance Restoration
Many commercial property losses occur alongside insurance claims.
Property owners and managers may need to document damage, communicate with insurers, obtain restoration scopes, and maintain records throughout the project.
Insurance coverage varies according to the policy, cause of loss, endorsements, exclusions, limits, and circumstances.
Calgary Restorations does not determine or guarantee insurance coverage.
