Commercial restoration in the Salt Lake Valley & Park City, Utah

When you submit, our on-call team gets a text instantly. You'll get a confirmation text right away.

Got it. We’re calling you within 5 minutes.

Keep your phone nearby. If water is still spreading, shut off the main valve now, it’s usually in the basement or crawl space, on the street-facing wall.

While we’re on the way

The first 48 hours

1

Close off the area

Keep staff and customers out of the affected space. Limiting foot traffic keeps the damage from tracking into areas that are still usable.

2

Shut off the HVAC

Shared ductwork carries moisture and contamination into suites and tenant spaces that were never touched. Keep the system off until it is assessed.

3

Call your carrier, then us

Commercial losses need same-day containment. We isolate the area, start drying, and document for the claim from the first visit.

Unsure about any of these? Call (385) 354-5813 and we’ll walk you through it while the crew drives.

What’s included

From containment to reopening

  • Emergency board-up, roof tarping, and site security, same day
  • Firefighting-water removal and structural drying (the water side is our core trade)
  • Soot and smoke-residue cleaning matched to each surface, see the table
  • Odor neutralization by the right tool: thermal fogging, ozone, or hydroxyl, named in the scope, not “deodorizing”
  • Contents inventory and pack-out to climate-controlled storage
  • Reconstruction under the same scope, one company to move-back-in
Surface by surface

Why surfaces need different methods

Surface
What soot does
Our treatment
Painted walls & ceilings
Acidic residue stains and etches within days
Dry-sponge lift first, then chemical sponge, wet-wiping smears
Wood & cabinetry
Residue works into grain and finish
Surface-appropriate cleaners, refinish assessment, odor sealing where needed
Metal & fixtures
Corrosion and pitting begin within hours
Early wipe-down with corrosion inhibitors, the most time-critical surface
Textiles & contents
Odor binds to fibers
Pack-out for specialty cleaning and ozone/hydroxyl treatment off-site
Large-loss documentation is the claim.
Fire claims are the biggest files most businesses ever open: structure, contents, and lost income all at once. We inventory room by room, photograph before anything moves, and scope in Xactimate, and our fire coverage guide explains what your policy actually pays for.

Common causes of commercial losses in Utah

Most commercial losses trace back to a handful of building systems. Knowing them is half of preventing them, from Salt Lake City offices to Park City storefronts.

A failed supply riser that flooded several floors of a building

Plumbing & risers

Supply lines and risers that flood several floors before anyone notices.

A blocked roof drain and failed membrane after a heavy Utah storm

Roofs & drains

Failed membranes and blocked roof drains after a heavy Utah storm.

Water across a suite floor after a single sprinkler head activated

Sprinkler discharge

One activated head can put hundreds of gallons into a suite.

A leaking rooftop unit condensate line staining the ceiling below

HVAC & mechanical

Condensate lines and rooftop units leaking into the ceilings below.

Contaminated water in a back-of-house area after the main backed up

Sewer backups

A backed-up main puts contaminated water into back-of-house areas.

A frozen and split pipe in an unheated commercial space

Frozen pipes

An unheated space over a long weekend is one of the most common and most preventable losses.

One event, three losses

Water, smoke, and structure arrive together

A commercial loss is rarely just one kind of damage. By the time it is contained, most buildings carry several at once, which is why we handle them under one scope and one schedule instead of three separate contractors working around your hours.

Loss 1

Structure & finishes

Damaged walls, ceilings, and flooring come out and go back to the finish your space traded with.

Reconstruction →
Loss 2

Smoke & odor

Odors settle into ceiling tile, carpet, and stock, and customers notice them before anything else.

Odor removal →
Loss 3

Water & sprinklers

Sprinkler and supply-line water runs under partitions and into the floors below, so we dry and document it.

From recent jobs

Day one to reopening, unstaged

Day one

What we walk into, and where the plan starts.

Contained

Isolated the same day, so the rest of the floor stayed open.

Extraction

Standing water out first, before anything sets.

Stabilized

Stock moved, air scrubbers running, ready for build-back.

Proof

★★★★★

“Burst riser over a weekend, two floors affected. They worked nights so we opened Monday, and the documentation made the claim simple.”

Denise

Office building, Taylorsville

★★★★★

“A sprinkler head let go into our stockroom. They phased the work so the front of house kept trading the whole time.”

Aaron

Retail suite, Millcreek

★★★★★

“Water loss in a building we manage remotely. One point of contact, daily updates, and our board had what it needed.”

Ruth & Val

HOA property, Jeremy Ranch

Why Highwater

Why property managers call us

One accountable company from the first containment to the last coat of paint, with a claim file your adjuster can actually work from.

On site the same day

Local crews contain and start drying fast, so a small loss does not take more of your building offline.

Mitigation to build-back

Mitigation, contents, and reconstruction under one roof, one schedule, one point of contact.

Commercial claim handling

Area-by-area inventory, Xactimate scopes for structure and contents, and direct billing.

Work outside your hours

Nights and weekends wherever the work allows, so more of your space stays open during trading hours.

Insurance claims

We handle your commercial claim, start to finish

A commercial policy covers the damage and often the income you lose while the space is out of use, but it is a bigger file than most owners ever open: structure, contents, and business interruption at once. We inventory area by area, scope it in Xactimate, work with any carrier, and bill directly, so your only real cost is your deductible.

Photographs and readings documenting the commercial loss for the adjuster

How your claim goes, step by step

1

Contain & document day one

Containment, moisture readings, and photos of everything before anything moves.

2

Area-by-area inventory

Every affected fixture and item logged for the contents side of the claim.

3

Scope in Xactimate

Structure, contents, and business interruption, in the format your adjuster uses.

4

Coordinate & bill direct

We answer the adjuster’s questions and bill your insurer for covered work.

5

You pay only your deductible

On a covered claim, that is your real out-of-pocket, and you know it up front.

Typically covered

Sudden water, fire, and smoke damage to the building and its contents, plus the income you lose while the space is unusable. This is the core of a commercial property policy.

Watch the fine print

Code-upgrade costs without ordinance-or-law coverage, and business interruption with a long waiting period, can be limited. We flag these early and document to protect the claim.

$0 out of pocket, beyond your deductible
On a covered fire claim, our goal is nothing from you past your deductible.
Every carrier, no network required
We work for you and with any insurer. Direct billing and Xactimate scopes on every claim.
Ask about living expenses
If you are displaced, your policy likely covers lodging and meals. We help you document ALE from day one.

Tell us how your policy reads before work starts, and we will document the loss to match it.

Homes & businesses

Offices, retail, multifamily, and HOA

Whether it is a single suite in Sandy or a whole floor in Salt Lake City, the same containment, drying, and documentation scale to both.

Offices & retail

Single suites, whole floors, restaurants, and storefronts, phased so the parts of your space that can trade keep trading.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Does a commercial property policy cover water and fire damage?
Most commercial property policies cover sudden water, fire, and smoke damage to the building and its contents, plus the income you lose while the space is unusable. We document it the way your adjuster needs and bill directly.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes. We work nights and weekends wherever the work allows, so more of your space can stay open and trading during the day.
How long does commercial restoration take?
A single suite can be a few days. A multi-floor or multi-tenant loss runs weeks to months. You get a written timeline after the first walkthrough, not a guess.
What happens if only part of our building is affected?
We isolate and dry the affected area the same day, so tenants and spaces that weren't touched can keep operating.
Do you handle HOA and multi-unit claims?
Yes. We give the board, the property manager, and each affected unit one point of contact and one schedule.
Does a sprinkler or pipe break cause damage beyond the water itself?
Almost always. Standing water can reach flooring, walls, and stock, so we dry and document the full loss, not just the visible puddle.

Space out of use?

Every hour adds cost. Call now, we contain and start drying the same day.
