Commercial Water Damage Restoration in Calgary: Get Back to Business

Calgary’s business community, from downtown office towers and Beltline restaurants to warehouses in the Foothills Industrial Park and retail in the northeast, can’t afford long closures. When water damage hits, the goal is to stop it, dry it and get you open again as fast as possible.

Common Causes of Commercial Water Damage in Calgary

• Frozen and burst sprinkler lines in vestibules, loading docks and unheated areas when a cold snap follows a Chinook
• Hail damage to flat roofs, skylights and rooftop units
• Roof drain backups from ice and snow
• Plumbing failures in washrooms and kitchens
• Sewer backups in ground-floor and lower-level tenancies
• HVAC condensate leaks

How We Respond

1. Stop the source and make it safe: electrical, slip and structural hazards.
2. Extract and contain, so unaffected areas can keep operating where possible.
3. Protect inventory, records and equipment: move, raise or pack out.
4. Dry around your schedule, keeping exits and key areas open and doing noisy work after hours.
5. Document for insurers, landlords and property managers.
6. Repair and reopen.

Business Interruption

Many commercial policies include business interruption coverage for lost income during closures, as long as the cause is covered and the loss is documented. Fast mitigation shortens downtime and supports the claim. See our Calgary insurance guide.

Prepare Your Business

• Label water shut-offs and sprinkler control valves; train staff.
• Keep heat on in sprinkler rooms, vestibules and loading areas during cold snaps.
• Inspect flat roofs, drains and rooftop units after hail and before winter.
• Install leak sensors in server rooms and under critical equipment.
• Store inventory and files off the floor.
