Signs to look for
When to call us for large loss response
From damage control through drying, 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
From damage control through drying, 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
From damage control through drying, 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
With clear job steps, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.
Nobody can say how much water went in
With clear job steps, 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
Carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and often bring in a damage-to-dry service consultant. That changes the documentation standard from the first day.
What happens
How we handle large loss response
Our damage-response professionals adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
A named project manager who owns the file
From damage control through drying, one person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.
A first 72 hours plan issued on day one
As each work stage is verified, written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.
Vertical tracing of where the water actually went
As each work stage is verified, we follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.
A moisture map for every affected floor
With clear job steps, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.
Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel
From damage control through drying, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.
Equipment logistics and capacity planning
For an accountable recovery, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
From damage control through drying, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. From damage control through drying, these examples show what may 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 | For an accountable recovery, national estimate for the mitigation program only. As each work stage is verified, reconstruction is a separate estimate and usually much larger. | $75,000 to $400,000 |
| High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors | With clear job steps, national estimate. As each work stage is verified, clean water keeps unit rates lower, while vertical access and floor count drive the total. | $50,000 to $250,000 |
| First 72 hours emergency stabilization on a large loss | For an accountable recovery, 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 | With clear job steps, national estimate. | $5 to $12 per square foot |
| Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day | From damage control through drying, national estimate for large open volume drying. For an accountable recovery, individual desiccant units and standard commercial dehumidification are priced far lower. | $1,500 to $4,000 |
| Project management, daily reports and per floor documentation, per day | With clear job steps, national estimate. With clear job steps, scales with the number of floors and the number of parties receiving the report. | $600 to $1,800 |
| After hours dispatch on the first visit | For an accountable recovery, national estimate for the after hours call out. With clear job steps, continuous shift coverage is priced separately. | $100 to $400 |
Number of floors affected
As each work stage is verified, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.Total affected square footage across levels
As each work stage is verified, the metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.Equipment quantity and type
For an accountable recovery, 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
From damage control through drying, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits.Vertical access and staging limits
From damage control through drying, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move.Project management and documentation depth
As each work stage is verified, daily reports, per floor moisture maps and multi party coordination take dedicated hours.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As each work stage is verified, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching
For an accountable recovery, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.
Late mobilization cannot be recovered later
With clear job steps, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.
Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once
As each work stage is verified, if the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.
Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days
As each work stage is verified, with several parties reading the file, one missing day of readings on one floor invites a challenge to that entire period of equipment charges.

How the next step is decided
With clear job steps, 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
As each work stage is verified, equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.
What may change the work
For an accountable recovery, each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.
Read the explanation
From damage control through drying, 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?
For an accountable recovery, there is no single legal threshold. From damage control through drying, 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?
As each work stage is verified, buildings are full of vertical pathways. From damage control through drying, 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?
From damage control through drying, 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?
With clear job steps, extraction usually finishes within the first day or two. With clear job steps, drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.
What happens in the first 72 hours?
For an accountable recovery, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.
Who deals with the sprinkler system?
From damage control through drying, your fire protection contractor. From damage control through drying, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.
Do you touch the elevators?
For an accountable recovery, no. With clear job steps, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
