Signs to look for
When to call us for large loss response
For a professional recovery, 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
For a professional recovery, 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
For a professional recovery, 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
Through an organized response, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.
Nobody can say how much water went in
Through an organized response, 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 professional recovery consultant. That changes the documentation standard from the first day.
What happens
How we handle large loss response
Our professional recovery 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
For a professional recovery, one person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.
A first 72 hours plan issued on day one
As each stage is completed, written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.
Vertical tracing of where the water actually went
As each stage is completed, we follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.
A moisture map for every affected floor
Through an organized response, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.
Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel
For a professional recovery, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.
Equipment logistics and capacity planning
With a durable result in mind, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

What to expect
What to expect from our professional recovery team
As each stage is completed, here is how we usually handle large loss response near Mitchell, GA.
-
1
You call and we start scoping the event, not the room
Through an organized response, 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
With a durable result in mind, your engineer isolates the riser or valve. For a professional recovery, if the valve can only be reached through standing water, stop and call the utility.
+10 minutes -
3
Crews staged and the resource list built
Through an organized response, crew count, machine count and trailer loads are committed to your property. For a professional recovery, crews are dispatched today or tonight as staging allows.
First hour -
4
Hazard control and vertical tracing on arrival
As each stage is completed, power to wet areas 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
Through an organized response, crews work floors in parallel, top down where the water is still moving. Through an organized response, standing water leaves the building before equipment planning finalises.
First hours on site -
6
The first 72 hours plan issued in writing
With a durable result in mind, priorities, sequence, equipment counts per floor and power arrangements go to every stakeholder.
Day 1 -
7
Equipment landed, power distributed, baselines recorded
Through an organized response, units are placed per floor with logged counts and temporary power in place. As each stage is completed, baseline readings and moisture maps are created for each level.
Day 1 to 2
Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
For a professional recovery, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a professional recovery, 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 | With a durable result in mind, national estimate for the mitigation program only. As each stage is completed, reconstruction is a separate estimate and usually much larger. | $75,000 to $400,000 |
| High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors | Through an organized response, national estimate. As each stage is completed, 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 | With a durable result in mind, 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 | Through an organized response, national estimate. | $5 to $12 per square foot |
| Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day | For a professional recovery, national estimate for large open volume drying. With a durable result in mind, 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 | Through an organized response, national estimate. Through an organized response, 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 | With a durable result in mind, national estimate for the after hours call out. Through an organized response, continuous shift coverage is priced separately. | $100 to $400 |
Number of floors affected
As each stage is completed, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.Total affected square footage across levels
As each stage is completed, the metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.Equipment quantity and type
With a durable result in mind, 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
For a professional recovery, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits.Vertical access and staging limits
For a professional recovery, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move. Through an organized response, on a high rise, staging is often the schedule, not the labor.Project management and documentation depth
As each stage is completed, 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 stage is completed, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching
With a durable result in mind, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.
Late mobilization cannot be recovered later
Through an organized response, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.
Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once
As each stage is completed, if the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.
Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days
As each stage is completed, 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
Through an organized response, start with the short explanation. As each stage is completed, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
With a durable result in mind, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
Read the explanation
Through an organized response, the defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. With a durable result in mind, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
How the next step is decided
Through an organized response, 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 stage is completed, equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.
What may change the work
With a durable result in mind, each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.
Read the explanation
For a professional recovery, 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?
With a durable result in mind, there is no single legal threshold. For a professional recovery, 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 stage is completed, buildings are full of vertical pathways. For a professional recovery, 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?
For a professional recovery, 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?
Through an organized response, extraction usually finishes within the first day or two. Through an organized response, drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.
What happens in the first 72 hours?
With a durable result in mind, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.
Who deals with the sprinkler system?
For a professional recovery, your fire protection contractor. For a professional recovery, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.
Do you touch the elevators?
With a durable result in mind, no. Through an organized response, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
