Service Restoration, a water damage restoration company based in Maple Grove, recently completed an urgent mitigation project for a flooded banking facility. The response included complete water extraction, structural drying, and post-loss reporting to help the property reopen in a matter of days.

The bank, located in Minnesota, experienced a significant plumbing failure that caused thousands of gallons of water to pour through multiple floors of the building. The damage impacted over 9,000 square feet of commercial space. Service Restoration received the emergency call and deployed crews within hours.

This emergency response is now documented in a featured case study published on Medium. The article details the step-by-step mitigation strategy and the outcome of the restoration effort.

Commercial Flood Response in Action

According to Dalton Schmidt, a spokesperson for Service Restoration, the scale and urgency of this flood required advanced coordination and immediate action.

“This wasn’t just a wet floor - the water had penetrated walls, ceilings, insulation, and subflooring across multiple levels,” Schmidt said. “The team deployed dozens of air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers to stabilize conditions fast and reduce further damage.”

The crew used thermal imaging and moisture meters to map wet materials and guide demolition of saturated drywall and flooring. In total, 80 air movers, 7 commercial dehumidifiers, and specialized wall-drying equipment were used to bring the building back to pre-loss dryness levels.

All work was completed in just five days. The project team provided full documentation for the building owner and insurance provider.

The event was highlighted in a Twitter update from Service Restoration’s local branch. The tweet includes a direct snapshot of the project scope and can be viewed here:

Commercial Properties at Risk: Importance of Rapid Response

Commercial water damage poses significant risks to both infrastructure and operations. Extended downtime can lead to lost revenue, while standing water may compromise electrical systems, structural integrity, and air quality. Delayed response also increases the risk of mold, requiring more extensive and costly remediation later.

By acting quickly and using high-capacity drying systems, Service Restoration avoided long-term disruptions for the bank involved in this case. The mitigation effort ensured a fast reopening and reduced total losses.
