Business Property in Lehi
Lehi City's business licensing page says a valid Lehi City business license is required for all businesses within the city limits, and that a fire safety inspection may be required depending on the business. A water loss can touch both, so keep your license and any inspection papers handy.
The city's Building and Inspections department handles all building permits for Lehi, and plans go through its permit portal. Its Fire Prevention division says it performs annual inspections of all businesses in Lehi and reviews plans for construction work.
Utah's Division of Air Quality says its asbestos rules cover commercial, industrial, public and larger residential buildings, which matters before any wall, ceiling or floor is demolished in an older building.

What We Can and Cannot Do for a Business
We can extract water, set up drying equipment, remove materials that cannot dry, take moisture readings and document the work. We lay out the scope and the price before the work begins.
We do not publish a client list, industry list, response guarantee or certification claim for commercial work. We do not repair a building's roof, plumbing, electrical or fire systems. Those trades must be done by qualified contractors.
| Task | Who handles it |
|---|---|
| Stopping the water source | Your plumber, building manager or utility |
| Extraction and drying | Our crew |
| Electrical safety and fire alarm checks | A licensed electrician or fire contractor |
| Permits for rebuild work | Your contractor and the city |
| Claim decisions | Your insurer |
Safety Steps: The First Hour in a Wet Building
- Move people out of any area with active water or a sagging ceiling.
- Shut off the water to the building or the affected zone.
- Turn off power to wet areas only if you can reach the panel safely, and call an electrician if not.
- Do not disable a fire alarm or sprinkler system yourself. Call the building's fire contractor.
- Photograph everything, then call us and your insurer.

Assess
The crew maps moisture with meters and a thermal camera across floors, walls and ceilings.
Extract
Pumps and extractors remove standing water.
Remove
Wet carpet, ceiling tile and board that cannot dry are removed.

Document
Readings and photos are logged so you can share them with your insurer.
ANSI/IICRC S500 is the industry reference for water damage restoration. The IICRC page says it covers residential and commercial buildings, including equipment, safety, inspections and documentation. We use it as a reference only.
Business Interruption and Documentation
A business owner often needs to keep working. Ask the crew which areas can be used while others dry, and which need to be closed. Agree on a plan for equipment noise and cords across walkways.
The Utah Insurance Department lists a business interruption entry that points to a trade group's tips. That page is not a state claim guide, so ask your insurer what documents it needs, such as dated photos, readings, inventory and receipts.
What Changes the Cost
- The size of the affected area and how many rooms
- The number of drying days
- The materials that must be removed and disposed of
- Access, working hours and building rules
- Whether the water was clean or contaminated
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not wait for a landlord decision before stopping the water
- Do not cover wet flooring with new material
- Do not disturb suspect materials in an older building before checking asbestos rules
- Do not turn off a sprinkler system without the fire contractor
- Do not throw out inventory without photos and a list
