Why Prompt Water Damage Restoration Matters For Businesses in Boston, MA
For homeowners, water damage is a problem. For businesses, it’s a crisis. When water leaks, floods, or pipe bursts affect your property, you face:
- Lost income from downtime
- Damage to inventory, equipment, or furniture
- Mold growth that can affect air quality and employee health
- Negative impression on customers and clients
By acting quickly, businesses reduce these risks and keep recovery costs under control.
Common Causes of Commercial Water Damage
Commercial buildings in Boston are vulnerable to several types of water damage, each carrying real financial and operational consequences:
- Frozen or burst pipes during harsh winters
- Sprinkler system leaks or failures
- Heavy rainstorms and localized flooding
- Roof leaks due to aging materials or storm impact
- Plumbing failures or sewer backups
- HVAC system breakdowns
But what makes this more than just a checklist? Let’s look at some data that demonstrates exactly how damaging these events can be:
Business Risk in Numbers
- According to the Insurance Information Institute, nearly 730,000 commercial and multi-unit properties across the U.S. are currently at risk of flood damage. Economic losses for commercial buildings tied to flooding are projected to increase from $13.5 billion in 2022 to $16.9 billion by 2052—a rise of about 25%. In addition, the number of business downtime days caused by flooding is expected to climb by 29% over the same period.
- Nearly 40% of small businesses never reopen after flooding events.
- In Massachusetts, intense storms are becoming more frequent. For example, the July 2023 flash flooding across Greater Boston closed roads, submerged vehicles, and led to at least $15,500 in documented property damage in single-incident focus areas—not counting broader commercial impacts.
Why These Numbers Matter for Your Business
Those figures aren’t just statistics—they translate into:
- Real financial loss from temporary closure
- Damage to critical inventory, equipment, or infrastructure
- Potential health risks and liability from mold or contaminated conditions
- Long-term disruption that can erode customer trust and brand reputation
- You’re not just fixing water damage—you’re protecting your business’s future.
Our Commercial Water Damage Restoration Process
We know how disruptive water damage can be, which is why our restoration process is designed to help businesses recover in an organized and timely way.
Emergency Response
We’re available 24/7 to take your call and send a team to your location right away. Our quick response helps minimize damage and begins the recovery process immediately.
Inspection and Planning
Upon arrival, our technicians inspect all affected areas to determine the extent of the damage. We then create a customized restoration plan focused on:
- Minimizing business downtime
- Protecting valuable equipment and documents
- Restoring critical areas first
This step ensures a strategic, efficient restoration process from start to finish.
Water Removal
Using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, we quickly remove standing water from all affected areas. This includes:
- Floors and carpets
- Basements and crawlspaces
- Walls and structural cavities
Swift water extraction prevents further deterioration and reduces the risk of mold or structural damage.
Drying and Dehumidification
After extraction, we deploy high-powered drying and dehumidification equipment to eliminate hidden moisture from:
- Walls, flooring, and ceilings
- Structural materials and furniture
- The indoor environment
This step helps prevent secondary issues like mold growth and material warping.
Cleaning and Sanitization
We thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas to restore a safe and healthy environment. Our process includes:
- Applying EPA-approved disinfectants
- Odor removal and air quality control
- Surface and material sanitization
This ensures your property is safe for employees, customers, and visitors to return.
Repairs and Restoration
Once the area is clean and dry, we perform necessary repairs to return your property to its pre-damage condition. This may include:
- Replacing drywall, flooring, or insulation
- Repairing ceilings, trim, or fixtures
- Repainting and finishing touches
Our goal is to fully restore your business space so you can resume operations quickly and confidently.

Insurance and Costs for Commercial Water Damage in Boston, MA
Standard commercial property insurance often covers damage caused by burst pipes or sprinkler failures.

At RestorationMaster, we handle insurance claims on your behalf so you can focus on recovering your property and getting your business back to normal operations.

"I called literally everyone to come out and clean the underneath of our trailer when we had a septic and water line break. No one was willing to do the job and RestorationMaster were the last people I called. It was the easiest transaction and someone was able to come that day to come look at it and they were back within a few days to get the job done. Super grateful!"

“The water supply line to our refrigerator ice-maker burst and leaked water all over the hardwood floor and into the basement. After we got a plumber to shut the water valve which was located behind the built-in refrigerator, RestorationMaster came to do remediation. Marvin and his crew measured the moisture in our walls and floors, removed the baseboards and drilled holes into the wall. They then set up equipment in our kitchen and basement. Marvin came by the next day to check on progress, moved some equipment around and then came back 3 days later to do a final check. Their actions saved our wooden floors! Marvin and his crew were truly awesome - professional, courteous and friendly throughout. Highly recommended. Positive: Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value. Services: Water damage-related cleanup & repair.”
