What does commercial water damage cost in Holladay, UT?
Commercial cost depends on square footage, ceiling height, the number of suites reached and the materials, so a single suite costs far less than a building-wide loss.
Single suite or shop
$2,500 to $8,000
- Water extraction
- Air movers
- Daily readings
Several suites or a floor
$8,000 to $20,000
- Staged drying
- Ceiling and wall opening
- Dehumidifier banks
Building-wide loss
$20,000 to $60,000+
- Large equipment set
- Phased tear-out
- Records for each tenant
Ranges are typical, never a quote: the water category, the square footage, the material class and how fast drying started move the number most. For a planning figure, try the water damage cost calculator.
A business cannot always close for a week, so commercial drying is planned around operations. The crew extracts the water, protects what can be protected and dries one area at a time, while keeping the owner and tenants informed with readings and photos.
Shared buildings take water together
On June 13, 2019, a water main break near Heughs Circle flooded Canyon Ranch Condos in Holladay and left several nearby residents without water. In a building with shared walls and floors, one failure can reach several units.
- Water traveling through shared walls and ceilings
- Common areas such as hallways, lobbies and stairwells
- Records for the owner, the tenants and each insurer
Large commercial space
Cottonwood Mall was built in the 1960s as Utah's first enclosed shopping mall and closed in 2007. Large open commercial buildings need more equipment and more careful staging, as in structural drying.
Planning around the business
The crew works with the owner on the order of rooms, on access and on what must stay running, and it flags any area where tenants should stay out until the readings improve. For leaks in a single suite, see burst pipe cleanup.
How commercial water damage is handled
Each step follows the IICRC S500 drying standard and leaves a record for the claim file. Equipment stays until the readings say dry.

Commercial Water Damage questions in Holladay
Still dealing with it?
Tell the response team about the building, the source and the rooms affected, and they will explain how the work is staged.
(888) 558-4812 Describe the business lossCan a business stay open during drying?
Often yes, in part. The crew stages the work so unaffected areas stay usable, though the wet suite needs equipment and some limits.
Who talks to the insurer?
The owner and tenants deal with their own insurers. The crew provides photos, readings and invoices in a form they can use.
How are tenants kept informed?
Readings, photos and plans are shared with the owner, who passes them along, so each tenant sees what was wet.
Are commercial dry-outs slower than homes?
They can be, because rooms are larger and materials are different, but staged work keeps most of the building usable.
Does the crew handle sewage in a business?
Yes. Sewage is Category 3 water everywhere, so porous materials are removed and the area disinfected, as in sewer backup cleanup.
A wet suite should not close the whole building
The crew stages the extraction and drying around the business and sends the owner clear readings and photos.
