Inventory salvage priority
Stock is triaged before structure: what is wet, what is wicking, what is merely at risk. Photo-documentation happens as goods are moved, not after — cargo and stock claims fail on gaps between 'where it was' and 'what condition it was in.' The crew works to a salvage order you approve, highest-value SKUs first.
Drying around racking and traffic
Industrial drying gets staged so receiving keeps moving: dehumidification zones set around racking, forklift lanes kept clear, floor-level airflow that does not turn your aisles into a hazard. Slab moisture is measured, not guessed — concrete holds water long after it looks dry, and flooring or vapor-barrier decisions made too early become second claims.
Business interruption vs. property coverage
Damaged goods, damaged building, and lost throughput are three different coverage conversations. The estimate is written line-itemed so your carrier sees them separately — mixing them is the most common reason warehouse claims stall.
Questions warehouse & industrial teams ask
Is damaged warehouse inventory covered by property insurance?
Usually under business personal property or stock coverage, separate from the building — but only as well as it is documented. Condition photos taken during salvage, not days later, are what adjusters pay on.
How long does structural drying take in a warehouse?
Open volumes dry faster than offices per square foot, but slabs and lowest rack levels govern the timeline. Expect drying in days and slab verification to run longer; a moisture log tells you when it is actually done.
