Commercial water damage in Startex operates on a different scale than a residential event — in terms of affected square footage, the complexity of the structural systems involved, the business continuity consequences of extended closures, and the documentation requirements that commercial insurance carriers impose. COS Water Damage Restoration's Startex commercial restoration team is scaled and structured for the large-loss environment: multiple crews, industrial-volume equipment, project management that coordinates across trades, and claim documentation built to commercial policy standards.
Here's what our Startex commercial team brings that residential-focused restoration companies don't.
A single residential water event involves one crew and a truck. A commercial water event in Startex may involve 10,000-50,000 square feet of affected space, multiple structural systems, and the need for dozens of pieces of extraction and drying equipment deployed simultaneously across multiple floors or zones. Our Startex commercial team can deploy multiple crews and industrial-volume equipment configurations within hours of your call — because commercial events can't be sequenced the way residential projects often are.
One of the first conversations our Startex commercial project manager has on site is about which areas of the property are critical to your operations and whether a phased restoration approach can maintain partial operations while remediation proceeds in non-operational zones. Restoring in phases — containing and drying one section while keeping another in use — isn't always possible, but when it is, it's the difference between days of closure and weeks.
One project manager, multiple trades, one coordinated timeline.
Commercial claim documentation that matches your carrier's standard is what gets claims approved on first submission without extensive supplemental exchange.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Startex commercial restoration team handles the complete scope of commercial water damage recovery — large-loss extraction, multi-floor drying programs, sensitive environment protocols, inventory and contents management, and full reconstruction.
Commercial water events in Startex — sprinkler activations, roof membrane failures, large pipe ruptures in mechanical spaces, stormwater intrusion through loading dock areas — can involve water volumes and affected square footage that are simply beyond the capacity of a standard restoration company's equipment inventory. Our Startex commercial team deploys industrial-volume truck-mounted extraction systems, trailer-mounted units for high-volume events, and portable extractors for the areas that can't be reached by larger equipment. The extraction phase is managed as a coordinated operation with assigned zones, team leads in each section, and progress tracked against the total affected area.
Large-format structural drying in Startex commercial properties requires a zone-based approach — defining drying zones based on the structural configuration of the building, staging equipment within each zone at calculated capacity, and managing sensor point readings across all zones simultaneously. Different zones may progress at different rates based on construction type, saturation level, and ambient conditions, and equipment is redistributed between zones as the program advances. Our Startex commercial drying program includes daily zone-level reporting so you and your insurance carrier can track progress across the entire affected area.
Contents protection and documentation begin in the first hours on site — not after extraction is complete.
Specialized protocol capability is what makes COS Water Damage Restoration the right call for sensitive Startex commercial environments.
Commercial claim management is a professional service, not paperwork support. We run the claim.
After water mitigation is confirmed complete in your Startex commercial property, our licensed commercial reconstruction division rebuilds to your pre-loss configuration — drywall, ceiling systems, flooring, paint, millwork, lighting, HVAC ductwork, and any other finish systems affected by the water event or the remediation process. Commercial reconstruction is managed under the same project management structure as the mitigation phase — coordinated across trades, tracked to a timeline, and documented to the same standard as the rest of the claim file.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and identify the event as a commercial property — your call is routed to a Startex commercial coordinator, not a residential dispatcher. The commercial coordinator assesses your property type, size, water source, and operational impact during the call and dispatches the appropriate crew configuration.
Speed of mobilization at commercial scale is what keeps a 2-day closure from becoming a 2-week one.
A written Xactimate-based scope is prepared and presented before work beyond emergency source control begins. The business continuity assessment identifies whether phased operations are possible. The insurance claim is filed on day one. Your project manager is your single point of contact for the duration of the project.
Extraction, zone drying, contents management, and reconstruction proceed on the timeline your written scope established. Daily project updates keep your team and your carrier informed. Final inspection and sign-off happen with you at a walkthrough of the completed property.



"The business continuity conversation in the first two hours was what set the tone for everything that followed. COS Water Damage Restoration's Startex commercial team identified which zones could remain operational during remediation and which couldn't, set up containment between the operational and remediation areas, and we maintained limited operations on two floors throughout the process. That saved us significant revenue and kept our client relationships intact."
"Our Startex multi-family property had a pipe event that affected 14 units across three floors. COS Water Damage Restoration treated it as a multi-zone project from the start — separate crews in each zone, daily readings for each unit tracked separately, and a tenant communication plan that kept residents informed without creating panic. All 14 units were dried and cleared in 9 days. The property management coordination they provided was above and beyond what I expected from a restoration company."
"The commercial insurance documentation that COS Water Damage Restoration produced for our Startex property claim was the most thorough I've seen in 20 years of commercial property management. Zone-specific moisture logs with daily readings, thermal imaging documentation of the migration path, Xactimate line items formatted to our carrier's requirements, and a business interruption summary that matched the format our adjuster needed. The claim settled within 4 weeks of the event. Our previous commercial water event with a different restoration company took 8 months to settle because the documentation was incomplete."
