Commercial Water Damage Restoration | CDR Facilities

 Water intrusion isn’t just a maintenance issue. It’s a critical threat to business continuity and facility safety.  When water enters a commercial environment, it disrupts structural integrity, damages electrical systems, and halts production or retail operations. What begins as a small leak or pipe failure can escalate into a multi-million-dollar loss if not managed through immediate, coordinated response. 

• Burst or Corroded Pipes – Aging plumbing or frozen lines rupture, flooding sensitive areas within minutes.
   
• Roof Leaks and Envelope Failures – Deteriorated roofing, flashing, or HVAC penetrations allow stormwater to infiltrate.
   
• Equipment and Mechanical Failures – Cooling towers, condensate lines, and process equipment leaks often go undetected until major damage occurs.
   
• Sprinkler or Suppression Discharges – Accidental activation can release hundreds of gallons into occupied or production spaces.
   
• Severe Storms and Flooding Events – Extreme weather pushes water beyond designed barriers, creating large-scale losses that impact multiple sites simultaneously.
   

• Structural Deterioration – Prolonged saturation weakens walls, flooring, and foundations, leading to long-term instability.
   
• Electrical Hazards – Moisture intrusion into conduit or junction boxes increases the risk of shorts, fires, or electrocution.
   
• Microbial and Mold Growth – Within 24–48 hours, excess humidity can create contamination requiring full remediation.
   
• Inventory and Equipment Loss – Standing water compromises raw materials, finished goods, and machinery critical to operations.
   
• Regulatory and Liability Exposure – OSHA, EPA, and insurance reporting requirements escalate if documentation is incomplete or delayed.
   

• Extended Downtime – Every hour of closure compounds revenue loss and customer disruption.
   
• Emergency Labor & Equipment Costs – After-hours response and large-scale drying increase restoration expenses.
   
• Secondary Damage – Unmitigated moisture leads to corrosion, microbial spread, and rebuild overruns.
   
• Reputational Risk – Customers, tenants, and investors view delayed recovery as leadership failure.
   
• Compliance Penalties – Incomplete logs or environmental breaches can trigger insurance or regulatory claims.

 Severe weather is a leading cause of commercial water damage. Learn how CDR restores facilities after major weather events on our Storm Disaster Recovery page. 

When a large-loss water event threatens your facility, speed, coordination, and technical precision make the difference between disruption and disaster.   CDR (Commercial Disaster Recovery) Facility Solutions deploys nationwide with industrial-scale extraction, drying, and reconstruction capabilities to stabilize environments and restore operations quickly—under one unified command.

Flooding across retail floors, back-of-house areas, loading docks, and warehouses requires immediate containment.
CDR’s teams arrive equipped with high-capacity pumps, portable extractors, and moisture-mapping systems to remove standing water fast, preventing further damage to structure, contents, and critical systems. Every action is documented for insurance and compliance records.

Large cubic spaces such as distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and data facilities demand precise environmental control.
Our industrial desiccant dehumidifiers and LGR units manage humidity, dew point, and air changes to stop microbial growth and protect materials. We maintain continuous psychrometric monitoring for performance verification.

Moisture doesn’t just disappear—it must be tracked, verified, and documented.
CDR technicians use thermal imaging, hygrometers, and cavity drying systems to restore structural components including slabs, wall cavities, ceilings, and assemblies. Daily moisture reports provide transparency for clients, insurers, and auditors.

Contaminated water requires specialized response.
Our Category 3 remediation teams follow EPA and IICRC S500/S520 protocols, using containment barriers, PPE, negative air pressure, and disinfection procedures to ensure safe and compliant recovery. Disposal and clearance documentation are included in every project closeout.

Even after the water is gone, the risk of microbial growth remains.
CDR applies post-water prevention protocols including antimicrobial treatments, air quality testing, and targeted remediation for any identified contamination. Each project is executed to maintain environmental safety and regulatory compliance.

Operations can’t stop while recovery is underway.
We provide contents cleaning, electronics drying, and equipment restoration, alongside temporary power and climate systems to keep essential operations running through every phase of the project.

When mitigation ends, rebuilding begins under the same command structure.
CDR provides turnkey reconstruction, repair, and documentation, including photographs, moisture logs, invoices, and insurance-ready reports. Every project concludes with verified sign-off and deliverables aligned with FEMA ICS and commercial compliance standards.

Post-water remediation often includes proactive Mold Remediation to prevent microbial growth and ensure long-term facility safety. 

When a water event affects multiple facilities or regional assets, fragmented response isn’t an option.
CDR (Commercial Disaster Recovery) Facility Solutions provides enterprise-level coordination for organizations that operate across states, time zones, and industries. Our systems are designed for speed, structure, and accountability, giving national facility and risk managers a single point of command — not a patchwork of vendors.

We specialize exclusively in commercial and industrial restoration, not residential work.
CDR’s expertise supports national retail chains, manufacturing and logistics hubs, distribution centers, hospitality properties, healthcare systems, education campuses, and multi-property portfolios.
Our command structure ensures brand consistency, safety compliance, and operational continuity at every site.

CDR maintains a national deployment capability through  our Nationwide Dispatch & Vetted Network.
Teams mobilize within hours under centralized command oversight, allowing us to scale from single-site recovery to multi-state disaster operations with precision and verified compliance.

From first response to final closeout, every project follows a standardized documentation and communication protocol.
Facility managers and risk teams receive daily progress reports, photographic updates, moisture logs, and final compliance packages — all formatted for easy submission to insurance carriers, auditors, and internal leadership.

We build partnerships on trust and transparency.
Our Pay-When-Paid model ensures financial alignment across all tiers — from subcontractors to command management — promoting fairness, accountability, and lasting relationships throughout every deployment.

Whether mitigating a burst pipe in a regional warehouse or coordinating multi-site flood recovery after a hurricane, CDR’s ICS-based command structure ensures speed, compliance, and consistent quality — anywhere in the United States.
We help facility leaders minimize downtime, protect revenue, and maintain stakeholder confidence while restoration operations unfold seamlessly behind the scenes.
