Signs to look for

When to call us for multi family water damage

For a professional recovery, 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

With a durable result in mind, that is a downstairs symptom of an upstairs source, usually a supply line, a toilet or a washer above.

Corridor carpet is dark or damp along one wall

Through an organized response, water leaving a unit runs under the entry door and into the corridor, because that threshold is the lowest gap in the wall.

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

With a durable result in mind, a party wall or demising wall between apartments is usually framed on the deck without a seal at the bottom plate.

Your master meter reading or water bill jumped with no explanation

Through an organized response, on a master metered property a running toilet or a slab side leak shows up as consumption before anyone sees water.

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

Through an organized response, in unit water heaters sit in a closet on a finished floor, often with a pan that has no drain line.

An in unit washer overflowed and the unit below smells musty

With a durable result in mind, washer discharge is gray water and it goes straight through the floor assembly at the pan or the standpipe.

What happens

How we handle multi family water damage

Our professional recovery 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

Through an organized response, we walk the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it.

Working with your on site maintenance team

For a professional recovery, your tech usually gets there first, and that matters more than anything we do in hour one.

Access coordination for occupied units

Through an organized response, we work from lockbox codes, master keys, gate and fob access, and your entry notice requirements.

Resident notices written for you

For a professional recovery, 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

Through an organized response, corridor carpet, stairwells, elevator lobbies, laundry rooms and trash rooms are extracted and dried as their own areas.

Floor assembly and gypcrete drying decisions

As each stage is completed, 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

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 situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
One room of an occupied unit, clean water, extraction and three to four days of dryingThrough an organized response, national estimate for one affected room inside a lived in unit. As each stage is completed, common areas and neighboring units are priced separately.$1,200 to $3,000
One unit plus the unit below through the floor ceiling assemblyThrough an organized response, national estimate 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 weekWith a durable result in mind, national estimate for a multi floor loss with per unit documentation. For a professional recovery, reconstruction and finishes are not included.$12,000 to $45,000
Multi family building work priced by affected area, clean waterFor a professional recovery, national estimate 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 waterAs each stage is completed, national estimate 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 outsideFor a professional recovery, national estimate 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 floorWith a durable result in mind, national estimate 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 unitThrough an organized response, national estimate for blocking furniture, protecting belongings and clearing the work area inside a lived in unit.$150 to $600
Whole vacant unit dried during turnover, clean waterFor a professional recovery, national estimate for an empty unit worked continuously.$2,000 to $5,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeFor a professional recovery, national estimate for the first visit outside business hours. As each stage is completed, it is charged once, not per unit.$100 to $400 nationally

  • How many units and common areas are wet
    For a professional recovery, each space needs its own metering, equipment, readings and file.

  • Vertical spread versus one floor
    With a durable result in mind, water down a plumbing stack means ceilings, floor assemblies and wall cavities on several levels.

  • Occupied units versus vacant units
    As each stage is completed, occupied work means appointment windows, notices, contents moved and equipment placed around furniture and people.

  • Floor assembly type
    Through an organized response, 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
    With a durable result in mind, corridor carpet, stairwells, lobbies and shared laundry rooms are separate scopes with their own equipment and records.

  • Access, scheduling and after hours work
    As each stage is completed, entry notice rules, quiet hours and resident availability all shape the schedule.

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.

Water keeps moving down the stack while you professionally evaluate the first unit

For a professional recovery, every hour of organized review is an hour the plumbing stack chase and floor assembly keep feeding lower floors.

Habitability becomes a legal question rather than a maintenance one

With a durable result in mind, 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

For a professional recovery, lightweight gypsum concrete and the mat under the finish floor release moisture slowly.

Corridor carpet spreads humidity into dry units

Through an organized response, 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

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

As each stage is completed, 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

Through an organized response, water moves through a stacked building along paths that are built in, not accidental.

How the next step is decided

Through an organized response, many buildings use lightweight gypsum concrete, known as gypcrete, poured over the deck for fire and sound performance, often with an acoustic sound mat under the finish flooring.

Read the explanation

Through an organized response, the floor assembly is what makes multi family drying different from single family drying.

What may change the work

For a professional recovery, 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

As each stage is completed, drying an occupied building is a logistics discipline as much as a moisture one.
