Warehouse water damage presents unique challenges: vast square footage, ground-level inventory storage, limited drain infrastructure, and the difficulty of moving heavy palletized goods away from active water intrusion. We deploy industrial extraction equipment and large-capacity desiccant dehumidifiers scaled to warehouse environments.
Large square footage = 2–3x longer drying vs residential
Move inventory off wet floors using forklifts before it absorbs water
Identify and stop active water source (roof, drain, pipe)
Open all loading dock doors to improve air circulation for initial drying
Photograph all inventory in place before movement for insurance documentation
Assess forklift safety on wet concrete — industrial equipment creates slip risk
Warehouse inventory is typically covered under 'cargo' or 'inland marine' coverage, not standard property insurance — notify both carriers
Client inventory stored in your warehouse (3PL operations) is a significant liability — notify affected clients immediately and document chain of custody
Business Interruption for warehouse operations typically covers the cost of alternative storage plus lost throughput — file immediately
Do not reopen until all items are cleared:
Concrete floor moisture readings within acceptable range before repositioning inventory
All electrical equipment tested before reconnection (especially ground-level outlets and equipment)
Forklift operations cleared by safety officer
Client inventory inspection completed and documented
Roof or source repair completed and verified before returning to full operations
