Signs to look for

When to call us for large loss response

As the coordinated steps continue, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water is on more than one floor

With the scene stabilized, each floor becomes its own drying environment with its own readings and its own release date.

A sprinkler head or standpipe discharged

As the coordinated steps continue, 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 the coordinated steps continue, 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 the scene stabilized, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly. As the coordinated steps continue, shaft and pit work waits until the elevator contractor has isolated the deployed equipment.

Nobody can say how much water went in

With the scene stabilized, 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 restoration consultant. That changes the incident incident documentation standard from the first day of the incident of the incident.

What happens

How we take command of large loss response

Our incident command team adjusts the work to which materials took on water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

A named project manager who owns the incident file

One person runs scheduling, incident incident documentation and communication for the whole event. On a multi floor loss that role is the difference between a project and a mess.

A first 72 hours plan issued on day one

From the first status check, written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.

Vertical tracing of where the water actually went

From the first status check, 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 the scene stabilized, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.

Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel

As the coordinated steps continue, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.

Equipment logistics and capacity planning

To keep the incident under control, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

What to expect

What to expect from our incident command team

With the scene stabilized, here is how we usually handle large loss response near Massachusetts.

1
You call and our responders begin scoping the event, not the room

With the scene stabilized, how many floors, what failed, whether it is still running, and whether power is available.
Your call
2
Isolation and the specialist calls you should make now

To keep the incident under control, your engineer isolates the riser or valve.
+10 minutes
3
Crews staged and the resource list built

With the scene stabilized, crew count, machine count and trailer loads are committed to your property. To keep the incident under control, crews are mobilized today or tonight as staging allows.
First hour
4
Hazard control and vertical tracing on arrival

As the coordinated steps continue, power to wet zones confirmed off, hazards controlled, then we trace the water down every floor it could have reached.
On arrival
5
Extraction on every affected floor at once

With the scene stabilized, crews work floors in parallel, top down where the water is still moving. With the scene stabilized, standing water leaves the building before equipment planning finalises.
First hours on site
6
The first 72 hours plan issued in writing

To keep the incident under control, priorities, sequence, equipment counts per floor and power arrangements go to every stakeholder.
Day 1
7
Equipment landed, power distributed, baselines recorded

With the scene stabilized, units are placed per floor with logged counts and temporary power in place. From the first status check, baseline readings and moisture maps are created for each level.
Day 1 to 2

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As the coordinated steps continue, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the coordinated steps continue, 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	To keep the incident under control, national estimate for the mitigation program only. From the first status check, reconstruction is a separate estimate and usually much larger.	$75,000 to $400,000
High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, 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	To keep the incident under control, 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	National estimate. It sits above single floor commercial rates because it carries project management, per floor incident documentation and vertical access, not just extraction and drying.	$5 to $12 per square foot
Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day	As the coordinated steps continue, national estimate for large open volume drying.	$1,500 to $4,000
Project management, daily reports and per floor documentation, per day	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, 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	To keep the incident under control, national estimate for the after hours call out. With the scene stabilized, continuous shift coverage is priced separately.	$100 to $400

Number of floors affected
From the first status check, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.
Total affected square footage across levels
The metered wet zone on every floor is still the base measurement. On a high rise that footprint can run to tens of thousands of square feet.
Equipment quantity and type
To keep the incident under control, 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
As the coordinated steps continue, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits.
Vertical access and staging limits
As the coordinated steps continue, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move.
Project management and documentation depth
From the first status check, daily reports, per floor moisture maps and multi party coordination take dedicated hours.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

From the first status check, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching

To keep the incident under control, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.

Late mobilization cannot be recovered later

With the scene stabilized, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.

Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once

With the scene stabilized, if the deployed equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries. To keep the incident under control, on a multi floor event that mistake multiplies by the number of levels.

Incident incident incident documentation gaps become disputed equipment days

With the scene stabilized, with several parties reading the incident 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

With the scene stabilized, start with the short explanation. From the first status check, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

To keep the incident under control, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

Read the explanation

With the scene stabilized, the defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. To keep the incident under control, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

How the next step is decided

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

Equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project. 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.

What may change the work

Each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.

Read the explanation

Incident incident documentation on a large loss is the product as much as the sequenced drying is, because several parties will audit it.

Common questions

Questions about large loss response

What counts as a large loss?

To keep the incident under control, there is no single legal threshold. To keep the incident under control, on an actual incident carriers treat losses running into several hundred thousand dollars as large loss files.

Why does water from one floor affect so many others?

From the first status check, buildings are full of vertical pathways. As the coordinated steps continue, 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 the coordinated steps continue, 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?

Extraction usually finishes within the first day of the incident of the incident or two. Drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.

What happens in the first 72 hours?

From the first status check, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet zone. To keep the incident under control, then crew and equipment staging, temporary power, and baseline readings with a moisture map per level.

Who deals with the sprinkler system?

As the coordinated steps continue, your fire protection contractor. As the coordinated steps continue, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.

Do you touch the elevators?

To keep the incident under control, no. From the first status check, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the deployed equipment.
