Signs to look for

When to call us for multi family water damage

So the repair lasts, 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

For a job done right, that is a downstairs symptom of an upstairs source, more often than not a supply line, a toilet or a washer above.

Corridor carpet is dark or damp along one wall

With sound workmanship in mind, 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

For a job done right, a party wall or demising wall between apartments is more often than not framed on the deck without a seal at the bottom plate.

Your master meter reading or water bill jumped with no explanation

With sound workmanship in mind, 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

With sound workmanship in mind, 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

For a job done right, washer discharge is gray water and it goes straight through the floor assembly at the pan or the standpipe.

What happens

How we see to multi family water damage

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

Mapping the full affected footprint before equipment is placed

With sound workmanship in mind, we walk the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it.

Working with your on site maintenance team

So the repair lasts, your tech more often than not gets there first, and that matters more than anything we do in hour one.

Access coordination for occupied units

With sound workmanship in mind, we work from lockbox codes, master keys, gate and fob access, and your entry notice requirements.

Resident notices written for you

So the repair lasts, 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

With sound workmanship in mind, corridor carpet, stairwells, elevator lobbies, laundry rooms and trash rooms are extracted and dried as their own areas.

Floor assembly and gypcrete drying decisions

Before the finish work begins, gypcrete underlayment and the sound mat under the finish floor hold water long after the surface feels dry.

    +20 minutes
  4. 4

    We walk the stack, not just the unit

    With sound workmanship in mind, on arrival a technician meters the reported unit, then the neighbors, the unit below and the corridor. Before the finish work begins, photographs and moisture values are recorded per space before anything moves.

    On arrival
  5. 5

    Extraction unit by unit, common areas alongside

    Before the finish work begins, truck mounted extractors pull water from carpet and hard floors in each affected unit.

    First hours on site
  6. 6

    Removals and per unit approvals

    For a job done right, carpet cushion, wet insulation and failed cabinet bases come out where moisture values and material type call for it.

    Same day
  7. 7

    Drying set around people who live there

    So the repair lasts, air movers and Professional dehumidifiers are placed away from beds and shared walls, with condensate run to a drain instead of a bucket.

    Day 1 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, 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 dryingWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate for one affected room inside a lived in unit.$1,200 to $3,000
One unit plus the unit below through the floor ceiling assemblyWith sound workmanship in mind, 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 weekFor a job done right, national estimate for a multi floor loss with per unit documentation. So the repair lasts, reconstruction and finishes are not included.$12,000 to $45,000
Multi family building work priced by affected area, clean waterSo the repair lasts, 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 waterBefore the finish work begins, 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 outsideSo the repair lasts, 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 floorFor a job done right, 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 unitWith sound workmanship in mind, 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 waterSo the repair lasts, national estimate for an empty unit worked continuously.$2,000 to $5,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeSo the repair lasts, national estimate for the first visit outside business hours. Before the finish work begins, it is charged once, not per unit.$100 to $400 nationally

  • How many units and common areas are wet
    Each space calls for its own metering, equipment, moisture values and file. Ten small saturated sections cost more than one large one of the same total size.

  • Vertical spread versus one floor
    For a job done right, water down a plumbing stack means ceilings, floor assemblies and wall cavities on several levels.

  • Occupied units versus vacant units
    Before the finish work begins, occupied work means appointment windows, notices, contents moved and equipment placed around furniture and people.

  • Floor assembly type
    Gypcrete over the deck with a sound mat under the finish floor is slow to dry and at times forces the covering up.

  • Common area and corridor involvement
    Corridor carpet, stairwells, lobbies and shared laundry rooms are separate scopes with their own equipment and records.

  • Access, scheduling and after hours work
    Entry notice rules, quiet hours and resident availability all shape the schedule. After hours dispatch on the first visit routinely runs $100 to $400 nationally.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Water keeps moving down the stack while you assess the first unit

For a job done right, every hour of condition report is an hour the plumbing stack chase and floor assembly keep feeding lower floors.

Habitability becomes a legal question as opposed to a maintenance one

For a job done right, 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

So the repair lasts, lightweight gypsum concrete and the mat under the finish floor release moisture slowly.

Corridor carpet spreads humidity into dry units

With sound workmanship in mind, 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

With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

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

Water moves through a stacked building along paths that are built in, not accidental. 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.

How the next step is decided

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

The floor assembly is what makes multi family drying different from single family drying. 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.

What may change the work

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

Drying an occupied building is a logistics discipline as much as a moisture one. Equipment is placed away from beds and shared walls, and dehumidifier condensate runs to a drain so no resident is emptying a bucket.

Common questions

Questions about multi family water damage

How much does water damage restoration cost in an apartment building?

Before the finish work begins, one room of an occupied unit with clean water routinely runs $1,200 to $3,000 nationally. With sound workmanship in mind, a whole vacant unit dried during turnover runs $2,000 to $5,500.

Do you check the neighboring units or only the one that called?

Before the finish work begins, we meter the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it.

Who pays, the building or the resident?

With sound workmanship in mind, on the whole the master policy handles the structure and common areas, and residents or unit owners handle their own belongings.

Do residents have to move out?

For a job done right, often no. Before the finish work begins, many units stay livable with equipment running, and some do not, more often than not when a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom is unusable.

Can you work directly with our on site maintenance team?

With sound workmanship in mind, yes, and that is the fastest version of this job. With sound workmanship in mind, your tech isolates the source and knocks on the units below and beside.

Will you handle the resident notices?

Before the finish work begins, we draft the door notice text and your office approves and posts it.

Can you bill per unit instead of one building invoice?

For a job done right, yes. For a job done right, costs are tracked per unit and per common area from the first walk. For a job done right, you can receive one building invoice, separate per unit invoices, or both.
