Signs to look for

When to call us for large loss response

As we protect the property, 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 steady care, each floor becomes its own drying environment with its own readings and its own release date.

A sprinkler head or standpipe discharged

As we protect the property, 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 we protect the property, 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 steady care, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly. For dependable recovery, shaft and pit work waits until the elevator contractor has isolated the equipment.

Nobody can say how much water went in

With steady care, 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

For dependable recovery, carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and often bring in a property recovery consultant. For dependable recovery, that changes the documentation standard from the first day.

What happens

How we handle large loss response

Our steady-response 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

As we protect the property, one person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.

A first 72 hours plan issued on day one

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

Vertical tracing of where the water actually went

From the first walkthrough, 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 steady care, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.

Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel

As we protect the property, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.

Equipment logistics and capacity planning

For dependable recovery, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities. From the first walkthrough, unit counts per floor are calculated, not guessed.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As we protect the property, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As we protect the property, 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	For dependable recovery, national estimate for the mitigation program only. From the first walkthrough, reconstruction is a separate estimate and usually much larger.	$75,000 to $400,000
High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors	With steady care, national estimate. From the first walkthrough, 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	For dependable recovery, 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	With steady care, national estimate.	$5 to $12 per square foot
Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day	As we protect the property, national estimate for large open volume drying. For dependable recovery, 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	With steady care, national estimate. With steady care, 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	For dependable recovery, national estimate for the after hours call out. With steady care, continuous shift coverage is priced separately.	$100 to $400

Number of floors affected
From the first walkthrough, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release. For dependable recovery, floor count drives complexity more than total square footage does.
Total affected square footage across levels
From the first walkthrough, the metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.
Equipment quantity and type
For dependable recovery, 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 we protect the property, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits.
Vertical access and staging limits
As we protect the property, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move. With steady care, on a high rise, staging is often the schedule, not the labor.
Project management and documentation depth
From the first walkthrough, 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 walkthrough, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching

For dependable recovery, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.

Late mobilization cannot be recovered later

With steady care, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.

Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once

From the first walkthrough, if the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.

Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days

From the first walkthrough, 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

With steady care, start with the short explanation. From the first walkthrough, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

For dependable recovery, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

Read the explanation

With steady care, the defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. For dependable recovery, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.

How the next step is decided

With steady care, 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

From the first walkthrough, equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.

What may change the work

For dependable recovery, each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.

Read the explanation

As we protect the property, 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?

For dependable recovery, there is no single legal threshold. As we protect the property, 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 walkthrough, buildings are full of vertical pathways. As we protect the property, 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 we protect the property, 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?

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

What happens in the first 72 hours?

For dependable recovery, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.

Who deals with the sprinkler system?

As we protect the property, your fire protection contractor. As we protect the property, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.

Do you touch the elevators?

For dependable recovery, no. With steady care, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
