- 1
Moisture map
The tech who does the walkthrough runs pinless meters and a thermal camera so the plan matches what is wet, not what looks wet.

The extraction crew pulls standing water with truck-mounted extraction so it leaves the house instead of moving to the next room.
- 3
Set the drying
Air movers go in at each room's evaporation load and LGR dehumidifiers pull the moisture back out of the air.

The drying team logs readings daily and removes equipment only when wet materials sit within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
Commercial water damage around Little Elm
Little Elm's businesses are concentrated along Eldorado Parkway, FM 423 and the Lakefront district, mostly in newer retail and office buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, rooftop units and sprinkler systems. Roof leaks after hail, sprinkler pipe freezes and restroom overflows are the usual losses.
In a strip center, water from one suite often reaches the next, so the drying team checks the shared walls and documents each tenant space separately.
- Restaurants and kitchens
- Medical and dental offices
- Retail storefronts
- Schools, churches and offices
Keeping the doors open
The commercial drying team stages work so the rest of the building can stay in use: containment walls, quiet equipment where possible and work scheduled around business hours. Readings are logged daily for the owner, the property manager and the adjuster. See structural drying and hail and roof leak water damage.

Can the business stay open during drying?
Often, yes. Containment walls separate the wet area so the rest of the space can operate.
Who should call, the owner or the tenant?
Either can make the first call. Lease terms decide who is responsible for what, so both usually get copies of the documentation.
Can commercial carpet tile be saved?
Clean-water carpet tile can often be lifted, dried and relaid. Tile touched by contaminated water is replaced.
Is commercial water damage covered?
Commercial property policies vary widely, and business interruption coverage may apply. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
Can the work happen after hours?
Much of it can be scheduled after closing, especially in retail and offices.
What about server rooms and electronics?
Power is shut off to wet equipment, and the room is dried with dehumidifiers. Electronics are checked by qualified technicians before use.
