Apartment and mixed-use buildings
In a multi-unit building, water from one unit travels into the units below and along shared walls. The crew maps every affected unit, coordinates access with the owner or manager, and keeps a separate record for each unit for the insurers involved. Ground-floor shops under apartments often take water from above and from the street at the same time.

Areas are dried in phases, with containment, quieter equipment where possible and work scheduled around business hours when the loss allows. Category 3 water from a sewer or roof drain is contained first. OSHA flood cleanup guidance covers worker safety, and Ready.gov business preparedness helps owners plan for the next event.
Common commercial water sources
Sprinkler pipe leaks, clogged flat roof drains, failed water heaters in mechanical rooms, restroom plumbing and sewer backups into lower levels cause most commercial losses here. Each one gets its own category, and the category sets what stays and what comes out.
