We save building finishes with our Emergency Services drying and cleaning process.

Professionally and proficiently, with experience and expertise.  It's how Paul Davis Restoration handles large losses. We have available the largest group of  IICRC Certified Emergency Services personel and equipment in the Bay Area that can be dispatched within 15 minutes of first call.  Here to assist you 24/7/365. A manager is available around the clock.

At Paul Davis Commercial Restoration of San Jose, our office delivers quality large loss mitigation, restoration and reconstruction services to our customers. We can handle any type of commercial project including office complexes, high rise class A office buildings, warehouses, high tec production facilities, law offices, dental practices, medical practices, apartments, condominiums, schools, shopping centers and health care facilities.

We excell at drying building finishes in place. We are the first Structural Drying Company in the San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area to employ these proven certified methods. Others may make claims but do not have the proper state of the art equipment to properly dry structures under the certified methods. Saving expensive finishes and minimizing tenant disruption without undue demolition is one of our core competencies. Call us and let us discuss your options before allowing your building finishes to be removed or damaged. This will save you time and money. We guarantee our monitoring and verification process will leave your building dry and operable quickly.  Removal of finishes will cost you more money and will take longer to reinstall. Cutting and removing undamaged but wet drywall in many cases is not necessary. This antiquated practice inflates cost and provides more work for the contractor that is working on the job. We have a proven track record in this field and all of our drying methods are done by ASD procedures as approved by the IICRC. Paul Davis Commercial Restoration of San Jose is nationally recognized as a leader in the field of structural drying. A qualified and ASD Certified Project Manager is standing by 24/7 to discuss your options at 408-566-0600. All of our jobs are staffed with certified technicians.

Paul Davis Commercial Restoration of San Jose is working in the San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area with one of the leading worldwide internet companies in the capacity of Emergency Sevices Provider, facilities maintenance and construction services.   

We have dried a 160,000 square foot Class A multiple story office building for a Fortune 500 company with no business interuprion. This job from first call to compeletion lasted 10 days.   [5 days drying and 5 days reconstruction]

Our crews responded to a ruptured main sprinkler pipe that feeds a medical building. The pipe was ruprured at ground level and pushed mud and gravel into the medical practices. The entire building was flooded and covered with silt.

We are experienced in fire restoration consultation in high cube clean room flash fires where top secret government assemblies occur.

Our office has dried Regional Malls with 45,000 feet of flooded space affecting 14 stores with multiple insurance companies and tenants. We arrived at the site within 30 minutes of the call and started immediate water extraction. Drying equipment was removed within four days and common area reconstruction completed the following day. The space was occupied during a busy shopping season. We dried and reconstructed with little business interuption. The mall management commented on the professionalism, detail for safety, cleanliness, and speed of work. Management appreciated that we were present at all meetings with carriers and tenants to answer questions and assist in claim issues. We worked dilligently with the mall representative in a manner of teamwork and cooperation. We are the best choice for large loss mitigation and construction.

We have dried Class A high rise building floods in San Francisco with four floors flooded with complete water intrusion on all floors and the elevator shafts. We understand the inherent issues of structural drying of Class A properties. Our crews are trained and experienced in all facets of drying.  Proper training and specialty equipment is a requirement that we fulfill.

Our crews are adept at completing structural drying in and around flooded missle test facilities within top secret emvironments. Background checks are a requirement of all of our technicians.

Our project management expertise includes emergency services within flooded defense contracting production facilities when roof collapses have flooded entire buildings. This included extensive contents and electronics workstation moving, staged floor replacement, structural drying, interior reconstruction, mechanicals removal and reset, and roof replacement. Security and government order delivery was never compromised. 

Our crews have structurally cleaned and deodorized high tech CNC machine shops including all of the machinery damaged by fire and smoke. Operations were back on line within 4 days. Around the clock is our specialty. Our sense of urgency is one of our core values. Order delivery was never compromised or delayed!

We are extremely proficient in document reprocessing of medical, dental and legal files. We have restored medical, dental and legal files after buildings have been destroyed by fire and water. This process includes extraction of files from ruble. In some cases the files were removed from buildings that were flooded or fire damaged on upper floors [the water or smoke intrusion came into the file rooms and onto the files from above]. The files were then specialty dried and rebuilt including photocopying and/or x-ray restoration. Our work product includes files that need to be rebuilt in containment due to mold contamination. Our technicians have deodorized and cleaned files critical to judicial process and extremely sensitive in their nature. We can assist in eliminating office worker complaints of working with files that smell of fire. Complete electronic bar code inventory of each file or item for chain of custody reqirements or valuation is part of our work process.

Our technicians have completed the cleaning, deodorization, painting, and reconstruction in a process piping environment up to 20 feet in the air, in and around acid vats and grated flooring in wafer testing and production rooms. The entire production line was kept open 24 hours a day while work was accomplished. No business interuption occured although a major flash fire had occurred within the rooms.

We are a proven service provider with a tremendous track record in Emergency Services.
