Signs to look for
When to call us for large loss response
We keep the field plan clear: 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
Our technicians plan around this detail: 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
To keep the work focused, we start here: 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
During the response, we work from this fact: Both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.
Nobody can say how much water went in
From the first assessment, we look at this: 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 field plan clear: Carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and commonly bring in a restoration consultant.
What happens
How we handle large loss response
Our response crew adjusts the work to the rooms and materials exposed to water, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.
A named project manager who owns the file
Before equipment is placed, we consider this: One person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.
A first 72 hours plan issued on day one
From the first assessment, we look at this: Written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.
Vertical tracing of where the water actually went
During the response, we work from this fact: We follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.
A moisture map for every affected floor
During the response, we work from this fact: Each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.
Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel
Before equipment is placed, we consider this: Crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.
Equipment logistics and capacity planning
As we organize the work, we account for this: Air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

During the response, we work from this fact: Crews work floors in parallel, top down where the water is still moving.
First hours on site -
6
The first 72 hours plan issued in writing
Our technicians plan around this detail: Priorities, sequence, equipment counts per floor and power arrangements go to every stakeholder.
Day 1 -
7
Equipment landed, power distributed, baselines recorded
Our response crew uses a practical rule: Units are placed per floor with logged counts and temporary power in place.
Day 1 to 2
Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
As we organize the work, we account for this: We lay out the recommended response plan and price before you approve the job. For your property, the useful point is this: These examples show what might 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 | We keep the field plan clear: National estimate for the mitigation program only. | $75,000 to $400,000 |
| High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors | During the response, we work from this fact: National estimate. | $50,000 to $250,000 |
| First 72 hours emergency stabilization on a large loss | We keep the field plan clear: 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 | During the response, we work from this fact: National estimate. | $5 to $12 per square foot |
| Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day | We keep the field plan clear: National estimate for large open volume drying. | $1,500 to $4,000 |
| Project management, daily reports and per floor documentation, per day | During the response, we work from this fact: National estimate. | $600 to $1,800 |
| After hours dispatch on the first visit | We keep the field plan clear: National estimate for the after hours call out. Our field notes give this point special attention: Continuous shift coverage is priced separately. | $100 to $400 |
Number of floors affected
From the first assessment, we look at this: Each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.Total affected square footage across levels
During the response, we work from this fact: The metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.Equipment quantity and type
As we organize the work, we account for this: 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
Before equipment is placed, we consider this: Hundreds of amps of equipment load in most cases exceeds available circuits.Vertical access and staging limits
Our technicians plan around this detail: Freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move.Project management and documentation depth
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: Daily reports, per floor moisture maps and multi party coordination take dedicated hours.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Our field notes give this point special attention: Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching
As we organize the work, we account for this: Water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.
Late mobilization cannot be recovered later
Our field notes give this point special attention: Crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.
Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: If the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.
Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: 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
Our field notes give this point special attention: First, note the short explanation. Our field notes give this point special attention: Open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
For your property, the useful point is this: Water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
Read the explanation
Our response crew uses a practical rule: The defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. For your property, the useful point is this: Water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
How the next step is decided
Our response crew uses a practical rule: 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
During the response, we work from this fact: Equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.
What might change the work
We keep the field plan clear: Each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.
Read the explanation
As we organize the work, we account for this: 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?
We keep the field plan clear: There is no single legal threshold. As we organize the work, we account for this: 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?
From the first assessment, we look at this: Buildings are full of vertical pathways. We keep the field plan clear: 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?
To keep the work focused, we start here: 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?
Our step-by-step approach makes this clear: Extraction in most cases finishes within the first day or two. Our field notes give this point special attention: Drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.
What happens in the first 72 hours?
As we organize the work, we account for this: Hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.
Who deals with the sprinkler system?
For your property, the useful point is this: Your fire protection contractor. As we organize the work, we account for this: They isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.
Do you touch the elevators?
We keep the field plan clear: No. For a prepared response, we focus on this: We pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
