What Commercial Flood Cleanup and Extraction Includes in Mastic
After commercial flood cleanup and extraction, the crew removes materials that cannot dry safely. Repairs to finishes are quoted after the structure is dry. A final moisture check comes before new finishes are installed.
A pipe, sprinkler or storm event can flood work areas and affect business operations. Water can move into carpet tile, inventory, wall bases and equipment areas. Jobs involving office water damage, retail store water damage and restaurant water extraction need a check beyond the visible puddle.
Stopping the source prevents more water from entering. The cleanup crew still needs to check how far the earlier flow traveled. Lower rooms may reveal a path from the original leak.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Electrical and access decisions belong to the property operator and relevant trades.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
