Water doesn’t just damage property—it disrupts livelihoods. When flooding, leaks, or plumbing failures strike a commercial building, the consequences can be immediate and severe. Operations grind to a halt, safety becomes uncertain, and profits vanish with every passing hour. Whether it’s a burst pipe soaking office equipment, a roof leak damaging retail inventory, or floodwater invading an industrial space, the urgency to act cannot be ignored.
That’s where Titus Contracting comes in. As a Michigan-based leader in commercial water and flood damage restoration, we know how high the stakes are for business owners and facility managers.

When your business faces the chaos of water damage, Titus Contracting brings the calm, control, and expertise needed to get you back on track.
Water can enter a building from countless sources—some sudden and dramatic, others silent and hidden. Understanding the common causes helps businesses protect their facilities and prepare for emergencies.
Plumbing Failures
Burst pipes, hidden leaks, or damaged fixtures can release gallons of water into walls, ceilings, and floors. In older commercial buildings, aging infrastructure often makes this a top cause of internal flooding.
Roof Leaks & Ice Dams
Michigan’s harsh winters can take a toll on commercial roofs. Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the edges, allowing water to seep beneath shingles or membrane systems—leading to ceiling leaks and soaked insulation.
Sprinkler or Fire Suppression Systems
Malfunctioning sprinkler heads or accidental discharges can cause extensive flooding across office suites, retail areas, and manufacturing floors. Even after a fire, residual sprinkler water often creates secondary damage that requires immediate cleanup.
Appliance or Equipment Leaks
HVAC condensate lines, boilers, water heaters, and commercial kitchen appliances can leak slowly over time, often going unnoticed until flooring and substructures are already compromised.
Sewer Backups or Flooding
Heavy rainfall or municipal system overloads can send contaminated water into basements or ground-floor spaces. These situations demand expert remediation to eliminate health hazards and restore sanitation.
Natural Disasters
Storm surges, rapid snowmelt, and flash floods can overwhelm even well-maintained properties. Titus Contracting is trained to manage large-scale flooding caused by extreme weather, providing both emergency mitigation and long-term recovery solutions.
In commercial restoration, time is money—and structure. The first few hours after water damage determine how extensive and costly the repairs will be.
The First 24 Hours
Within minutes, water begins to spread through flooring, drywall, and electrical systems. Moisture wicks into materials, warping wood, rusting metal, and short-circuiting outlets. Electronics, furniture, and paper records quickly become unsalvageable.
Within 48–72 Hours
If left untreated, stagnant water breeds mold, mildew, and bacteria. Odors worsen, drywall begins to crumble, and the structural integrity of the building becomes compromised. Electrical hazards emerge, creating safety risks for employees and customers alike.
The Financial Impact
Every hour of delay compounds the problem—raising repair costs, extending downtime, and reducing the chance of salvaging materials. For businesses, that means lost revenue, displaced workers, and potential insurance complications.
At Titus Contracting, we respond fast because we understand that speed saves both property and productivity. Our industrial-grade extraction units, desiccant dehumidifiers, and advanced air movers are engineered to handle large commercial spaces efficiently. From the moment you call, our certified technicians arrive ready to secure your site, stop further damage, and start the restoration process—so your business can keep moving forward.

Emergency Response & Inspection
Our 24/7 response team arrives promptly—often within hours of your call—to secure the site and assess the scope of damage. We identify safety hazards such as electrical exposure, structural instability, or contaminated water sources before beginning the cleanup process. Immediate inspection ensures the fastest, most efficient plan of action.
Water Extraction
Using high-powered truck-mounted extraction systems, we remove standing water from all affected areas, including carpeted spaces, basements, and large commercial floors. Rapid extraction prevents additional seepage into subfloors, walls, and insulation—critical to minimizing secondary damage.
Moisture Mapping & Damage Assessment
Once surface water is removed, our specialists use infrared thermal cameras and digital moisture meters to detect hidden pockets of moisture behind walls and under flooring. This step helps us pinpoint every affected area so nothing is overlooked during drying and restoration.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
We deploy industrial-grade air movers and desiccant dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from structural materials such as drywall, concrete, wood, and metal. Continuous monitoring ensures optimal airflow and humidity control throughout the process, speeding up recovery while protecting materials from warping or mold growth.
Cleaning & Sanitization
After drying, we perform thorough cleaning to remove contaminants, debris, and odor-causing agents. Using EPA-approved disinfectants, our team sanitizes all surfaces to ensure the environment is safe for employees, customers, and tenants.
Mold Prevention
To prevent future problems, Titus Contracting applies antimicrobial treatments and air purification systems that inhibit mold and mildew growth. We also manage air quality control through HEPA filtration and negative air pressure containment when needed—especially in healthcare or food service environments.
Restoration & Reconstruction
When structural repairs are required, we handle all phases of restoration—from replacing drywall and flooring to repainting, refinishing, and complete build-back services. Our licensed contractors ensure that every surface looks and performs as it did before the damage—or better.
Final Verification
Before closing out the project, our technicians perform final moisture and air quality testing to verify that the property is fully dry, structurally sound, and safe for occupancy. Only when every metric meets our standards do we consider the job complete.
