Commercial Storm Damage for Kensington Businesses

When storm water gets past the curb of a rooftop unit, it can travel along the supply duct before it drips anywhere. The insulation lining the duct can soak it up, and diffusers a long way from the unit start to drip. Kensington Water Restoration traces the path in your Kensington building with a moisture meter and dries the ceiling spaces the duct crosses.

Kensington Water Restoration inspects the temporary dry in after every rain while the interior equipment is up, because a drying area that keeps taking on water never reaches its target. When a permanent repair is in the works, interior closeout in your Kensington building waits for it, and the daily log shows the date each piece of the work finished.

Jobs close on readings. Affected materials in your Kensington building have to match the dry standard taken from an unaffected part of the same structure, measured with the same meter on the same scale. Equipment comes out after that, final readings go in the file with the photos, and a punch walk with the property manager sets what reconstruction still owes.

Tenants with stock on the floor will be asked for an inventory list, usually with item, quantity, cost and condition for each line. Purchase invoices and photos support it, and tenants file that claim under their own policies. Kensington Water Restoration supplies the building side of the record for your Kensington property, covering which areas were wet and when each one was released.

If you're deciding who to call first, call Kensington Water Restoration. Kensington Water Restoration handles the dry in and the drying underneath it, so the roof and the interior stay coordinated at your Kensington property. Two hour dispatch, day or night, and a moisture log that starts on the first visit.

Our Process

How Kensington Water Restoration Handles Commercial Storm Damage

We follow these steps in order on every Kensington job.

1

Power and Safety Walk

Before extraction starts, the crew walks the wet areas with your building engineer and confirms which circuits serve them. Cords run through ground fault protection, and the electrician decides what can be reenergized.

2

Water Path Check

The crew traces the water from the roof breach down through the ceiling to the floors below and photographs the path. Water that backed up out of a drain tied into a sanitary line gets handled as sewage, and that call drives the protocol.

3

Extraction and Debris Removal

Standing water comes off floors with portable and truck mounted units. Saturated lay in tile and wet batt insulation get bagged and hauled out. Water held in the plenum is released through controlled openings so it stops dripping onto tenant equipment.

4

Structural Drying Setup

Dehumidification is sized to affected cubic footage, desiccant for open floor plates and refrigerant units for enclosed suites. Air movers go in at calculated angles. The crew checks available amperage and brings distribution or generator power when building panels can't carry the load.

5

Slab and Dock Floor Checks

Concrete at a dock or in a warehouse holds water well after the surface dries, so the crew probes the slab at marked spots and keeps dehumidification and air movement running until the readings level off.

Common Questions

Commercial Storm Damage FAQ

Questions Kensington property managers ask us about commercial storm damage restoration.

Yes. Whoever holds authority for the property can sign the work authorization, whether that's you or your property manager. The team confirms who holds that authority on the first call and puts it in writing. Building access matters as much as the signature, since a crew that can't get through the door can't start extraction. Emergency work gets its own scope, separate from the drying that follows.
Yes. Kensington Water Restoration logs readings by area and ties the equipment time to the same areas, so the invoice can carry a section for each suite and one for shared corridors and restrooms. Who pays for what is set by the lease and by each party's policy, and the team doesn't make that call. Tell the team how your tenants are billed and the sections can be arranged to match, which saves your accounting staff from splitting one total by hand.
Photograph and measure everything that comes out, then ask the adjuster whether a sample needs to be held. Wet ceiling tile and insulation stay heavy and can keep the building damp, so the crew bags them and removes them after documenting what they were and where they came from. A removal log with photos by room usually answers the adjuster's questions without a pile of debris sitting on site.
The S500 covers water damage restoration, and the S520 covers mold remediation. The S520 applies when conditions go beyond normal background fungal levels, whether that's settled spores or actual growth. A storm loss that gets dried promptly usually stays under the S500. If growth turns up in wet insulation or gypsum, the remediation follows the S520, with containment and removal of the affected material.
New water is the biggest cause, whether from a leak that hasn't been closed or from another storm. Limited power, restricted access to a tenant space, wet material found late behind a finish and slab or masonry that releases water slowly also stretch the schedule. Telling the crew early about locked suites and after hours rules keeps the projection realistic. Kensington Water Restoration updates the projected equipment period in the daily log.
Category describes how contaminated the water is, from clean at Category 1 to grossly contaminated at Category 3. Class describes how much wet material the building holds and how readily it gives the water up. Water that falls from overhead and soaks ceilings and walls usually lands in a higher class than a wet floor alone. Category drives the cleaning and removal decisions, and class drives the drying capacity.
Your lease and your counsel decide that, and the team can give you the facts to work from. What Kensington Water Restoration does is document what was found, where it was found, and how much of it there was, with photos and readings, so the disclosure you make is accurate. If remediation is needed, the work is done to the IICRC S520, with containment under negative air with HEPA filtration, removal of affected material, HEPA vacuuming and cleaning of what stays, then clearance before containment comes down. Independent post remediation verification by a third party testing firm is available if you or your lease call for it.
Tell them which areas are closed and where the safe routes run, and give them one contact at the property for questions. Ask tenants to move their own stock out of reach of water and to report their own losses to their own carriers. Keep the explanation of cause general until the entry point is documented, since the cause can change the coverage discussion.
Air movers and dehumidifiers are loud enough to be a problem in an office and usually fine in a warehouse or a back of house area. Kensington Water Restoration plans around that. Equipment runs at full count in sections already closed, the crew uses quieter units where people are working nearby, and the loudest part of the setup goes in after hours where a tenant's schedule calls for it. Equipment has to run continuously to hit the readings, so the planning goes into placement and timing. The team will walk the floor with you and the tenant before anything gets staged.
The affected materials have to match the dry standard taken from an unaffected part of the same building, and the final readings have to be in the file. Flooring needs one more check: the slab has to meet the flooring manufacturer's moisture limit before anything gets glued down. A walk with your property manager confirms the removals match the list, and the repair contractor can then start from a dry, documented building.
