Signs to look for

When to call us for large loss response

With damage contained, 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

To protect the property, each floor becomes its own drying environment with its own readings and its own release date.

A sprinkler head or standpipe discharged

With damage contained, 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

With damage contained, 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

To protect the property, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.

Nobody can say how much water went in

To protect the 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

Carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and often bring in a property protection consultant. That changes the documentation standard from the first day.

What happens

How we handle large loss response

Our property-protection team 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

With damage contained, one person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.

A first 72 hours plan issued on day one

As our controlled response continues, written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.

Vertical tracing of where the water actually went

As our controlled response continues, we follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.

A moisture map for every affected floor

To protect the property, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.

Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel

With damage contained, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.

Equipment logistics and capacity planning

Before materials deteriorate further, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

What to expect

What to expect from our property-protection team

To protect the property, here is how we usually handle large loss response near New Jersey.

  1. 1

    You call and we start scoping the event, not the room

    To protect the property, how many floors, what failed, whether it is still running, and whether power is available.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Isolation and the specialist calls you should make now

    Before materials deteriorate further, your engineer isolates the riser or valve. With damage contained, if the valve can only be reached through standing water, stop and call the utility.

    +10 minutes
  3. 3

    Crews staged and the resource list built

    To protect the property, crew count, machine count and trailer loads are committed to your property. With damage contained, crews are dispatched today or tonight as staging allows.

    First hour
  4. 4

    Hazard control and vertical tracing on arrival

    As our controlled response continues, power to wet areas confirmed off, hazards controlled, then we trace the water down every floor it could have reached.

    On arrival
  5. 5

    Extraction on every affected floor at once

    To protect the property, crews work floors in parallel, top down where the water is still moving. To protect the property, standing water leaves the building before equipment planning finalises.

    First hours on site
  6. 6

    The first 72 hours plan issued in writing

    Before materials deteriorate further, priorities, sequence, equipment counts per floor and power arrangements go to every stakeholder. Before materials deteriorate further, this is the document the project runs on.

    Day 1
  7. 7

    Equipment landed, power distributed, baselines recorded

    To protect the property, units are placed per floor with logged counts and temporary power in place. As our controlled response continues, baseline readings and moisture maps are created for each level.

    Day 1 to 2

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

With damage contained, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With damage contained, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Multi floor water event across roughly three to five floors of one buildingBefore materials deteriorate further, national estimate for the mitigation program only. As our controlled response continues, reconstruction is a separate estimate and usually much larger.$75,000 to $400,000
High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floorsTo protect the property, national estimate. As our controlled response continues, 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 lossBefore materials deteriorate further, 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 waterTo protect the property, national estimate.$5 to $12 per square foot
Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per dayWith damage contained, national estimate for large open volume drying. Before materials deteriorate further, 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 dayTo protect the property, national estimate. To protect the property, scales with the number of floors and the number of parties receiving the report.$600 to $1,800
After hours dispatch on the first visitBefore materials deteriorate further, national estimate for the after hours call out. To protect the property, continuous shift coverage is priced separately.$100 to $400

  • Number of floors affected
    As our controlled response continues, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.

  • Total affected square footage across levels
    As our controlled response continues, the metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.

  • Equipment quantity and type
    Before materials deteriorate further, 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
    With damage contained, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits. With damage contained, distribution panels, cabling, or a generator placed outside the building are real line items.

  • Vertical access and staging limits
    With damage contained, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move. To protect the property, on a high rise, staging is often the schedule, not the labor.

  • Project management and documentation depth
    As our controlled response continues, 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 our controlled response continues, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching

Before materials deteriorate further, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.

Late mobilization cannot be recovered later

To protect the property, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.

Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once

As our controlled response continues, if the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.

Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days

As our controlled response continues, 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

To protect the property, start with the short explanation. As our controlled response continues, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Before materials deteriorate further, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

Read the explanation

To protect the property, the defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. Before materials deteriorate further, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

How the next step is decided

To protect the property, 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 our controlled response continues, equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.

What may change the work

Before materials deteriorate further, each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.

Read the explanation

With damage contained, 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?

Before materials deteriorate further, there is no single legal threshold. With damage contained, 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 our controlled response continues, buildings are full of vertical pathways. With damage contained, 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?

With damage contained, 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?

To protect the property, extraction usually finishes within the first day or two. To protect the property, drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.

What happens in the first 72 hours?

Before materials deteriorate further, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.

Who deals with the sprinkler system?

With damage contained, your fire protection contractor. With damage contained, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.

Do you touch the elevators?

Before materials deteriorate further, no. To protect the property, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
