Your Business Can't Wait.
Neither Do I.
Phil Sheridan · IICRC Certified · Edmond, OK
Commercial water damage, mold, or fire doesn't care about your operating hours, your lease, or your insurance deductible. I do.
This Isn't Your House. The Stakes Are Higher.
When a pipe bursts in your office at 2am, the water doesn't just damage drywall. It damages revenue. Every hour your business can't operate is payroll you're covering without income, customers you're losing to competitors, and employees wondering if they should update their resumes.
Commercial damage has a multiplier residential doesn't. A wet living room is an inconvenience. A wet restaurant kitchen is a health department issue. A wet server room is a data catastrophe. A wet warehouse is inventory loss at scale.
And then there are the people nobody thinks about in the first hour: your insurance adjuster, your building inspector, your tenants (if you have them), and your employees who need to know when they can come back. You're not just managing a restoration — you're managing a crisis with stakeholders.
That's my job. Not ruining yours.
Commercial Equipment. Commercial Certifications. Commercial Speed.
I carry enough drying equipment to handle a 10,000-square-foot warehouse or a 200-square-foot dental office. The equipment scales, but the standard doesn't — every job gets IICRC S500 documentation, daily moisture logs, and a written scope your insurance adjuster can follow.
My LGR dehumidifiers pull 15+ gallons of water per day each. My air movers create directional airflow patterns designed for commercial floor plans — open offices, corridors, multi-room suites. My thermal cameras find moisture inside wall cavities, above drop ceilings, and under commercial-grade flooring without cutting anything open.
IICRC certified. Veteran-owned. Hundreds of completed commercial and residential jobs across the OKC metro. I'm not a franchise sending a technician who arrived last week from another state. I'm the owner, and I answer my own phone.
Tell Me When Your Building Is Empty. That's When I Show Up.
Most of my commercial clients can't shut down for a week while equipment runs. So we don't ask them to.
I schedule extraction, demolition, and equipment setup around your operating hours. Restaurant closes at 10pm? My crew arrives at 10:30. Medical office opens at 7am? We're gone by 6:30. Retail store has Saturday foot traffic? We run equipment overnight and clean up the workspace before your first customer walks in.
Your clients, patients, customers, and employees don't need to see fans and dehumidifiers. They don't need to hear demolition. And they definitely don't need to smell the problem.
Discreet, after-hours service isn't a favor I offer. It's how I prefer to work. The best compliment I get from commercial clients is: "Our customers never knew anything happened."
Every Business Recovers Differently.
Restaurants & Food Service: Your walk-in cooler doesn't care that it's a holiday. Water damage in a commercial kitchen triggers health department protocols, and you can't reopen until every food-contact surface is certified clean. I handle the restoration AND the documentation your health inspector needs to sign off.
Medical & Dental Offices: Patient areas need to be sterile. Period. I work under containment, use HEPA filtration, and coordinate around your patient schedule. If the HVAC was affected, I remediate the ductwork to prevent cross-contamination between treatment areas.
Offices & Professional Spaces: Data, electronics, and client-facing appearance all matter. I prioritize keeping your IT infrastructure dry, recovering wet documents when possible, and ensuring your space looks untouched when your employees return.
Warehouses & Industrial: Big spaces need big equipment. I stage commercial-scale drying across open floor plans, coordinate with your operations team on section-by-section scheduling, and handle the documentation for both your insurance carrier and your building inspector.
Churches & Non-Profits: Budget-conscious, schedule-sensitive, and community-critical. I work around services and events, prioritize preservation of irreplaceable items, and provide transparent pricing because I know every dollar matters.
Documentation Your Adjuster Can't Argue With.
Commercial insurance claims are more complex than residential. Multiple coverages, multiple adjusters, sometimes multiple carriers in a multi-tenant building. I've seen claims stall for weeks because the restoration company couldn't provide the documentation the adjuster needed.
Here's what leaves my office with every commercial job:
Timestamped photos of every affected area — before, during, and after. Daily moisture readings organized by room or zone with a clear downward trend. Equipment logs that match what's invoiced — type, quantity, placement, and runtime for every dehumidifier and air mover. Water category classification per IICRC S500 standards. A room-by-room or zone-by-zone narrative that tells the story of the damage and the restoration in language adjusters have to respect.
I also coordinate directly with your adjuster. If the scope needs supplementing, I send the evidence. If the estimate is low, I provide the data. The goal is a documentation package so thorough that the claim moves on evidence, not arguments.
Oklahoma Weather Doesn't Read Your Business Hours.
Oklahoma commercial buildings deal with conditions that out-of-state franchise templates don't understand.
Flat roof hail damage. Most commercial buildings in the OKC metro have flat or low-slope roofs — TPO, EPDM, or built-up membrane. Hail punctures these membranes and you don't know it until rain finds the hole. I've done thermal scans on commercial roofs where the building owner had no idea they had eight active leak points. By the time water shows up in the drop ceiling, the insulation above it has been wet for weeks.
Ice storm pipe bursts. Oklahoma gives you a 40-degree temperature swing on a Tuesday. Enterprise-grade sprinkler lines and plumbing that weren't winterized properly become emergency water events overnight. A burst sprinkler line in a multi-story office building can put 500 gallons on the floor before someone realizes the pressure dropped.
Humidity and commercial HVAC. OKC's spring and summer humidity — combined with commercial HVAC systems that run 60+ hours a week — creates condensation in ductwork that feeds hidden mold colonies. The musty smell when the AC kicks on is the warning sign. The colony behind the drop ceiling is the problem.
I'd Rather Be Your Vendor Than Your Emergency.
Here's the call I prefer getting: "Phil, it's been about a year. Can you come do a walkthrough?"
I offer free annual walkthroughs for commercial clients. I check your roof drainage, inspect HVAC drip pans and ductwork, take moisture readings in high-risk areas, and flag anything that's trending in the wrong direction. It takes about an hour and has saved multiple clients from six-figure restoration jobs.
The reality of commercial restoration is that most damage is preventable. Clogged roof drains, neglected HVAC maintenance, slow plumbing leaks — these create the conditions that turn a rainstorm or a cold snap into an emergency. I'd rather catch it early.
If you're a facility manager, property manager, or business owner in the OKC metro and you want a vendor relationship instead of an emergency call — I'm that vendor. And if the emergency does happen, you already have my number.
Questions I Get from Business Owners and Facility Managers.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=01 "How quickly can you respond to commercial water damage?" ▶ ENTER
I answer my own phone 24/7. For emergency calls, I can typically have equipment and crew on-site within a few hours, depending on location within the OKC metro. For non-emergency assessments, I schedule around your business operations.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=02 "Can you work after-hours so we don't disrupt our business?" ▶ ENTER
That's how I prefer to work. Most commercial jobs — especially extraction, demolition, and equipment setup — happen after your business closes. Drying equipment runs continuously but is quiet enough to stay in place during business hours if needed.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=03 "Do you have experience with commercial-scale jobs?" ▶ ENTER
Yes. I carry enough equipment to handle buildings from 500 to 50,000+ square feet. My equipment fleet scales from a single-suite office to a full warehouse. The documentation and process are the same regardless of size.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=04 "Can you coordinate directly with our insurance carrier?" ▶ ENTER
I do this on every commercial job. I provide IICRC S500-compliant documentation, communicate directly with adjusters, and submit supplements when the adjuster's scope doesn't match the actual damage. Most commercial claims move faster when the documentation is this thorough.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=05 "What if our HVAC system was affected by the water damage?" ▶ ENTER
I inspect the HVAC as part of every water damage assessment. If moisture entered the ductwork or affected the air handler, I remediate under containment with HEPA filtration to prevent cross-contamination. This is critical in commercial buildings where one HVAC system serves multiple zones.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=06 "How do you handle restoration in multi-tenant buildings?" ▶ ENTER
I coordinate with property management, communicate with affected tenants, and schedule work to minimize disruption across the building. Containment barriers keep dust and noise from reaching occupied areas. I provide separate documentation for affected units if needed for individual tenant insurance claims.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=07 "Will our business pass inspection after you're done?" ▶ ENTER
I restore to building code standards and can be present during inspections to address any questions. My documentation packages are designed to support reoccupancy approval. For health-regulated businesses (restaurants, medical facilities), I provide the specific documentation your inspector requires.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=08 "Do you offer ongoing maintenance or prevention plans?" ▶ ENTER
I offer free annual walkthroughs for commercial clients. I check HVAC, roof drainage, plumbing, and moisture levels in high-risk areas. It takes about an hour and has prevented multiple six-figure restoration jobs for clients who stayed ahead of the damage.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=09 "What types of commercial buildings have you worked on?" ▶ ENTER
Restaurants, medical offices, dental offices, professional offices, churches, warehouses, retail stores, multi-tenant buildings, and industrial facilities. Each building type has its own quirks — HVAC layouts, flooring types, operating schedules, regulatory requirements — and I adjust my approach accordingly.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=10 "How do you handle sensitive equipment and inventory during restoration?" ▶ ENTER
Items that need protection during restoration are inventoried, packed carefully, and moved to climate-controlled storage. Electronics get priority attention — servers, computers, and networking equipment that got wet need to be evaluated immediately. I also coordinate with IT teams when data recovery is a concern.
You don't need a franchise truck with an 800 number. You need a phone call that gets answered by someone who's already thinking about your building while you're describing it.
Call Phil.
405-896-9088Tell me what happened to your building. I'll have a plan before we hang up.
