Signs to look for
When to call us for large loss response
Our restoration team explains it this way: If you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A sprinkler head or standpipe discharged
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Sprinkler water arrives fast and under pressure, so thousands of gallons can leave before anyone reaches a valve.
A domestic water riser failed above occupied floors
As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: A riser feeds every level it passes, so a failure high in the building wets everything below it.
Water is running down a stairwell or into an elevator shaft
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.
Nobody can say how much water went in
Here is what this means for your property: When the volume is unknown, the wet boundary has to be found by instrument on every level.
Your carrier has assigned a large loss adjuster or a consultant
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and many times bring in a restoration consultant.
What happens
How we handle large loss response
Our restoration team adjusts the work to what you can see is wet, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.
A named project manager who owns the file
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: One person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.
A first 72 hours plan issued on day one
Here is what this means for your property: Written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.
Vertical tracing of where the water actually went
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: We follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.
A moisture map for every affected floor
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.
Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.
Equipment logistics and capacity planning
Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: Air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: We explain in plain language the recommended restoration steps and price before you approve the job. We make this part easier to understand: These examples show what can sometimes change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Multi floor water event across roughly three to five floors of one building | Our restoration team explains it this way: National estimate for the mitigation program only. | $75,000 to $400,000 |
| High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors | We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate. | $50,000 to $250,000 |
| First 72 hours emergency stabilization on a large loss | Our restoration team explains it this way: National estimate for the initial phase: hazard control, extraction on all affected floors, staging and equipment placement. | $25,000 to $100,000 |
| Large loss mitigation billed by affected area across floors, clean water | We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate. | $5 to $12 per square foot |
| Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day | Our restoration team explains it this way: National estimate for large open volume drying. | $1,500 to $4,000 |
| Project management, daily reports and per floor documentation, per day | We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: National estimate. | $600 to $1,800 |
| After hours dispatch on the first visit | Our restoration team explains it this way: National estimate for the after hours call out. | $100 to $400 |
Number of floors affected
Here is what this means for your property: Each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.Total affected square footage across levels
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: The metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.Equipment quantity and type
Our team uses this point to organize the work: Air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.Temporary power requirements
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Hundreds of amps of equipment load generally exceeds available circuits.Vertical access and staging limits
We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: Freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move.Project management and documentation depth
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: Daily reports, per floor moisture maps and multi party coordination take dedicated hours.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching
Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: Water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.
Late mobilization cannot be recovered later
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.
Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: If the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.
Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: With several parties reading the file, one missing day of readings on one floor invites a challenge to that entire period of equipment charges.
Helpful service information
What to know about large loss response
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Begin by noting the short explanation. Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
Read the explanation
We make this part easier to understand: The defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
How the next step is decided
We make this part easier to understand: Each area is graded for class of loss, which describes how much of its porous surface is wet and therefore how much evaporation load the dehumidifiers must handle.
Read the explanation
We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.
What can sometimes change the work
Our restoration team explains it this way: Each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.
Read the explanation
Our team uses this point to organize the work: Documentation on a large loss is the product as much as the drying is, because several parties will audit it.

Common questions
Questions about large loss response
What counts as a large loss?
Our restoration team explains it this way: There is no single legal threshold. Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: In practice carriers treat losses running into several hundred thousand dollars as large loss files.
Why does water from one floor affect so many others?
Here is what this means for your property: Buildings are full of vertical pathways. Our restoration team explains it this way: Water follows risers, pipe chases, conduit, stairwells and elevator shafts, and it drops through floor penetrations.
How much does a large loss water response cost?
As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: As national estimates, a three to five floor event commonly runs $75,000 to $400,000 for mitigation alone.
How long does a multi floor drying project take?
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Extraction generally finishes within the first day or two.
What happens in the first 72 hours?
Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: Hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.
Who deals with the sprinkler system?
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Your fire protection contractor. We keep the next decision simple by explaining this: Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: They isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.
Do you touch the elevators?
Our restoration team explains it this way: No. For a calmer next step, remember this: We pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
