Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for multi family water damage

Before we get to work, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A resident on a lower floor reports a ceiling stain with no leak of their own

Before we get to work, that is a downstairs symptom of an upstairs source, as a rule a supply line, a toilet or a washer above.

Corridor carpet is dark or damp along one wall

Once we are on the job site, water leaving a unit runs under the entry door and into the corridor, since that threshold is the lowest gap in the wall.

Water is showing at the bottom of a party wall in the neighboring unit

Before we get to work, a party wall or demising wall between apartments is as a rule framed on the deck without a seal at the bottom plate.

Your master meter reading or water bill jumped with no explanation

In plain words, on a master metered property a running toilet or a slab side leak turns up as consumption before anyone sees water.

The in unit water heater closet has a wet floor or a stained wall base

To straighten this out, in unit water heaters sit in a closet on a finished floor, frequently with a pan that has no drain line.

An in unit washer overflowed and the unit below smells musty

To straighten this out, washer discharge is gray water and it goes straight through the floor assembly at the pan or the standpipe.

What happens

How we take on multi family water damage

Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Mapping the full affected footprint before equipment is placed

In plain words, we walk the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it. Once we are on the job site, a moisture meter and a thermal imaging camera define the wet boundary in each space.

Working with your on site maintenance team

To straighten this out, your tech as a rule gets there first, and that matters more than anything we do in hour one.

Access coordination for occupied units

In plain words, we work from lockbox codes, master keys, gate and fob access, and your entry notice requirements.

Resident notices written for you

Before we get to work, we supply door notice text your office can put out the same day, covering what is happening, where equipment will sit, and how long it runs.

Common area extraction and drying

In plain words, corridor carpet, stairwells, elevator lobbies, laundry rooms and trash rooms are extracted and dried as their own areas.

Floor assembly and gypcrete drying decisions

Once we are on the job site, gypcrete underlayment and the sound mat under the finish floor hold water long after the surface feels dry.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
One room of an occupied unit, clean water, extraction and three to four days of drying	National price breakdown for one affected room inside a lived in unit. Common areas and neighboring units are priced separately.	$1,200 to $3,000
One unit plus the unit below through the floor ceiling assembly	National price breakdown covering both units, ceiling work below and cavity drying between them.	$2,500 to $8,000
Vertical stack loss, four to six units plus the corridor, about a week	National price breakdown for a multi floor loss with per unit paperwork. Reconstruction and finishes are not included.	$12,000 to $45,000
Multi family building work priced by affected area, clean water	National price breakdown across units and common areas, including equipment, monitoring and per space reporting.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Multi family work on washer or drain water	National price breakdown for gray water, where cushion comes out and affected spaces get a cleaning stage before release.	$4 to $9 per square foot
Multi family work on sewage water or water that came in from outside	National price breakdown where porous material leaves the building and every affected space is cleaned before release.	$7 to $15 per square foot
Corridor and stairwell carpet extraction and drying, per floor	National price breakdown for common area soft flooring, including cushion removal where the water was not clean.	$1,500 to $5,000
Occupied unit contents handling and protection, per unit	National price breakdown for blocking furniture, protecting belongings and clearing the work area inside a lived in unit.	$150 to $600

After hours or overnight dispatch charge	National price breakdown for the first visit outside business hours. It is charged once, not per unit.	$100 to $400 nationally

How many units and common areas are wet
Before we get to work, each space needs its own metering, equipment, readings and file.
Vertical spread versus one floor
Water down a plumbing stack means ceilings, floor assemblies and wall cavities on a few levels. A loss on one floor is mostly floor covering.
Occupied units versus vacant units
Once we are on the job site, occupied work means appointment windows, notices, contents moved and equipment placed around furniture and people.
Floor assembly type
Gypcrete over the deck with a sound mat under the finish floor is slow to dry and sometimes forces the covering up.
Common area and corridor involvement
Corridor carpet, stairwells, lobbies and shared laundry rooms are separate scopes with their own equipment and records. They also as a rule belong to ownership rather than a resident.
Access, scheduling and after hours work
Once we are on the job site, entry notice rules, quiet hours and resident availability all shape the schedule.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Water keeps moving down the stack while you assess the first unit

Once we are on the job site, every hour of assessment is an hour the plumbing stack chase and floor assembly keep feeding lower floors.

Habitability becomes a legal question rather than a maintenance one

To straighten this out, a resident with a wet bedroom and no answer starts making their own arrangements and their own record.

Gypcrete and sound mat hold water long enough to wreck your schedule

Before we get to work, lightweight gypsum concrete and the mat under the finish floor release moisture slowly.

Corridor carpet spreads humidity into dry units

In plain words, a wet corridor is a shared reservoir with every unit door opening onto it.

Helpful service information

What to know about multi family water damage

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Once we are on the job site, the plumbing stack and its chase carry water straight down through floors, which is why a fourth floor supply failure can show up in a first floor ceiling.

Read the explanation

In plain words, water moves through a stacked building along paths that are built in, not accidental. Once we are on the job site, the plumbing stack and its chase carry water straight down through floors, which is why a fourth floor supply failure can show up in a first floor ceiling.

How the next step is decided

Many buildings use lightweight gypsum concrete, known as gypcrete, poured over the deck for fire and sound performance, frequently with an acoustic sound mat under the finish flooring.

Read the explanation

The floor assembly is what makes multi family drying different from single family drying. Many buildings use lightweight gypsum concrete, known as gypcrete, poured over the deck for fire and sound performance, frequently with an acoustic sound mat under the finish flooring.

What may change the work

Equipment is placed away from beds and shared walls, and dehumidifier condensate runs to a drain so no resident is emptying a bucket.

Read the explanation

Drying an occupied building is a logistics discipline as much as a moisture one. Equipment is placed away from beds and shared walls, and dehumidifier condensate runs to a drain so no resident is emptying a bucket.
