Commercial water losses are about keeping a business open. Most commercial services in Ham Lake sit along Highway 65, and 8 platted commercial parks lie along it north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. A leak in one suite can reach neighbors, stock and records, so the drying plan is built around the whole building.
What does commercial water damage cost in Ham Lake, MN?
Commercial price depends on floor area, building type and whether sewage is involved. A single shop is the low end, several suites or a floor sit in the middle, and a large building or Category 3 loss runs highest.

How commercial water damage is handled, step by step
The tech who does the walkthrough maps moisture before any equipment goes down, and the equipment stays until the readings say dry.
Assess and plan
The team walks each suite and writes a drying plan.
Extract and contain
Water is removed and barriers separate wet and open areas.
Dry in phases
Equipment sits per suite and moves as zones dry.
Report
Logs and photos go to owners, tenants and insurers.
What the buildings look like
- Retail and service suites in the commercial parks along Highway 65
- Light industrial space in Ham Lake Industrial Park and Landborg Industrial Park
- Concrete block buildings that hold water in the walls and the slab
- Some businesses on private septic systems, where backups are a known cost
Concrete block takes a long time to dry, so readings on walls and slabs decide when a business can return to normal.
How commercial drying is run
The team extracts water, sets containment between affected and open suites and schedules noisy work after hours when needed. Moisture and equipment logs are kept per suite, so owners, tenants and insurers see the same record.
Backups and large losses
Sewage losses follow the steps in sewage backup cleanup, and the drying itself follows structural drying.

Water still coming in?
Water in a shop, office or warehouse? The restoration team books with one call.
(888) 432-4933 (888) 432-4933Book commercial helpCan a business stay open during drying?
Often yes. Containment keeps wet areas separate, and noisy work can be scheduled after hours so open suites keep operating.
Who documents the loss for insurance?
The restoration team keeps photos, moisture logs and equipment records by suite, which owners and insurers can use for claims.
How are concrete block walls dried?
Block holds water in its cores, so drying mats, dehumidifiers and extended monitoring are used. Readings decide when the wall is dry.
What about septic backups in a business?
Sewage is Category 3 water and is handled with containment and removal of contaminated materials. A septic contractor pumps the system while the team cleans.
What if tenants share a building?
Each suite is mapped and logged separately, so owners and tenants can see their own damage and costs.
Every closed day costs a business
Water spreads across floors and into neighboring suites quickly. The restoration team extracts it, contains the area and documents each suite for owners and insurers.
