Water Damage
24/7 Commercial Water Damage Restoration Services
We treat every issue like an emergency
Water intrusion can halt operations, damage critical infrastructure, and create immediate health and safety hazards inside any commercial building. Fast action is essential, but so is the expertise behind that response.
Businesses need a certified, well-staffed partner capable of addressing large-scale losses. BlueTeam delivers that level of readiness with nationwide mobilization, IICRC-certified crews, and a proven workflow designed specifically for commercial portfolios.
As an IICRC-certified restoration company, we manage the entire lifecycle of water damage restoration projects, from initial containment and extraction to structural repairs, reconstruction, and documentation for insurance.
Our focus is on restoring safe, operational environments for organizations across industries, supported by 22 mobilization facilities that allow rapid deployment anywhere in the country.

Commercial clients rely on us because our model eliminates delays. We assess, communicate, and deploy immediately, reducing downtime, safeguarding occupants, and controlling the total cost of recovery.
Understanding Water Damage Categories. Correctly identifying water contamination levels is essential for safety, compliance, and scope planning. We follow the IICRC S500 classifications:
Cat. 1 - Clean Water
It originates from sanitary sources such as supply-line breaks, appliance malfunctions with clean water, or early-stage rainwater intrusion. While Category 1 carries minimal health risks, it can deteriorate quickly as it interacts with building materials, transitioning into more hazardous categories if not addressed immediately.
Cat. 2 - Grey Water
Category 2 water contains microorganisms, chemicals, or debris that pose moderate health risks upon contact or ingestion. Common sources include dishwasher discharge, washing machine failures, or toilet overflows without solid waste. Without rapid mitigation, grey water often progresses to Category 3 due to bacterial amplification.
Cat. 3 - Black Water
Category 3 involves severe contamination from black water and requires specialized containment. Sources include sewage backups, rising floodwater, stormwater intrusion, and long-standing stagnant water. Black water contains harmful pathogens, chemicals, and toxins, demanding strict PPE use, waste handling protocols, and advanced sanitation measures. At BlueTeam, we treat each category with tailored procedures to protect occupants and ensure full compliance with industry standards.
Our Process
Inspect
- Mobilize trained commercial technicians as quickly as possible.
- Establish site safety protocols and brief all occupants or stakeholders.
- Shut down or isolate air handlers to prevent aerosolized contaminant spread.
- Conduct a full moisture assessment, including wall, ceiling, flooring, and equipment impacts.
- Determine the contamination category and affected materials.
- Involve an industrial hygienist when required for air and water testing.
The first phase provides the roadmap for safe and efficient recovery.
Diagnose
- Analyze testing results and environmental readings to establish the mitigation plan.
- Identify environmental or occupational risks associated with Categories 2 and 3.
- Determine whether biocides or antimicrobial agents are necessary.
- Outline what can be salvaged and what requires removal or replacement.
- Provide a documented scope of work for insurance and ownership review.
Clear diagnosis allows our teams to move quickly into controlled mitigation.
Mitigate
Also known as the stabilization phase, it’s where we perform commercial water mitigation procedures to stop active damage.
- Stop the source of water intrusion and secure affected areas.
- Extract standing water using industrial pumps and vacuums.
- Remove saturated materials such as drywall, insulation, carpet, or tile.
- Install containment barriers and zipper-door entry points to control airflow.
- Deploy HEPA filtration, negative air machines, and air scrubbers.
- Apply targeted antimicrobial treatments based on hygienist recommendations.
Mitigation limits structural deterioration and reduces long-term recovery costs.
Restore
Once the environment is stabilized, drying and structural restoration begin.
- Use advanced drying systems to reduce moisture in walls, floors, and cavities.
- Replace damaged structural components, finishes, flooring, ceiling materials, or mechanical elements.
- Rebuild affected areas to pre-loss condition with commercial-grade materials.
- Reinstall interior components such as millwork, fixtures, and furnishings.
Our restoration division ensures continuity from mitigation to full rebuild, eliminating handoffs between separate vendors.
Document
Every commercial loss requires complete transparency.
- Provide detailed moisture logs, drying records, photos, testing results, and work reports.
- Finalize client sign-off upon completion.
- Submit documentation to insurance carriers, property managers, and adjusters.
- Assist in closing any open claims.
Proper documentation speeds up settlements and protects organizations from compliance issues later.
We are your trusted partner in times of need.

Commercial losses involve substantial documentation, communication, and financial oversight. We manage this process with dedicated insurance coordination:
- Initial loss documentation for rapid claim initiation
- Support for adjuster walkthroughs and scoping
- Detailed logs, photos, and moisture maps
- Submission of completion documents and invoices
- Direct communication with adjusters to resolve outstanding items
Our experience with commercial carriers helps streamline the process and minimize administrative burden on ownership groups and facility managers.
Frequently Asked Questions
