Signs to look for
When to call us for office water cleanup
As the coordinated steps continue, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Carpet tile seams are lifting or edges have curled in a walkway
With the scene stabilized, carpet tile is held by a release adhesive that softens when it stays wet.
A dark line along the base of a cubicle panel
As the coordinated steps continue, fabric wrapped panels wick upward from the floor and the core behind the fabric holds it.
Water is visible at a floor box or a raised access floor panel
With the scene stabilized, floor boxes carry live power and data, so nobody should open one.
Banker boxes on the bottom shelf of the incident file room feel cool or soft
With the scene stabilized, paper wicks fast and swells, and a bottom row can pull water several inches up the box.
The server closet smells humid or the rack feels damp
As the coordinated steps continue, a UPS, meaning an uninterruptible power supply, keeps the deployed equipment plugged into it live even after the panel is off, so treat the rack as energized until your engineer confirms otherwise.
What happens
How we take command of office water cleanup
Our incident command team adjusts the work to which materials took on water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
An electrical walk before anyone steps into the wet zone
To keep the incident under control, power to the area inside the incident zone goes off through your building engineer or electrician first.
Wet electronics isolated and never energized
Computers, a network switch, a patch panel and anything on a server rack stay off and get lifted clear of the floor by our incident command team.
A moisture map drawn on your floor plan
To keep the incident under control, a moisture meter reads the wall bases, the slab and the panel cores, and a thermal imaging camera shows the pattern above the ceiling.
Priority triage of paper records
From the first status check, wet files are sorted by how much they matter and how wet they are, then boxed flat and staged out of the humid air.
Carpet tile lifted, cleaned, dried and relaid
To keep the incident under control, tiles come up in numbered runs, get cleaned and dried off the slab, then go back once the concrete reads dry.
Workstation and cubicle triage
With the scene stabilized, panels are lifted off the floor, fabric is cleaned and the core is metered from the bottom edge.

First evening -

Carpet tile up, ceiling tile down, sealed work area closed

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
As the coordinated steps continue, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the coordinated steps continue, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Single office suite, clean water, one or two rooms | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, extraction, carpet tile lift and relay, and three to four days of drying. | $1,500 to $5,000 |
| Several suites or about half a floor, clean water, three to five days of drying | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, includes sealed work area, ceiling tile removal and after hours extraction. | $6,000 to $20,000 |
| Office cleanup priced by affected area, clean water | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, the commercial band, and the usual way office work scales once more than one suite is wet. | $4 to $9 per square foot |
| Office cleanup priced by affected area, contaminated water | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, applies where a drain or sewer backup reached the suite. | $9 to $18 per square foot |
| Carpet tile lifted, cleaned, dried and relaid | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, cheaper than replacement whenever the tiles themselves are sound. | $2 to $5 per square foot |
| Server closet or IT room drying with sealed work area | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, hand work around live equipment and very low humidity air. | $1,500 to $6,000 |
| Workstation cleaning and drying, per workstation | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, panels, worksurface and pedestal file handled as one unit. | $75 to $250 |
| Wet record handling and prioritized boxing, per box | With the scene stabilized, national estimate for handling and boxing only. | $30 to $75 |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, common on office work because most of it happens outside trading hours. | $100 to $400 |
Affected floor area, set by meter
Work plan is the wet zone on the floor plan, not the size of the visible puddle. That footprint drives both labor hours and equipment counts.Business hours versus after hours work
As the coordinated steps continue, evening and weekend crews cost more per hour, and calling a crew out beyond normal hours adds a national dispatch charge of $100 to $400.Carpet tile versus glue down broadloom
From the first status check, carpet tile can often be lifted, cleaned, dried and relaid, which is cheaper than replacement.Whether IT space is involved
From the first status check, a server closet needs sealed work area, low humidity air and careful hand work around a live rack.Volume of wet paper records
From the first status check, boxing, staging and inventorying files is labor, and anything sent for vacuum freeze drying is priced separately.Workstation count in the wet zone
As the coordinated steps continue, each workstation means panels lifted, a worksurface checked and a pedestal file emptied.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
From the first status check, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Wet electronics that get switched on are destroyed twice
From the first status check, water plus power drives corrosion across a board in seconds, and it voids the honest option of cleaning and testing.
Paper records have the shortest clock in the building
To keep the incident under control, wet paper swells, ink bleeds and pages fuse into blocks that cannot be separated later.
Carpet tile adhesive keeps failing after the pile feels dry
To keep the incident under control, moisture trapped between tile and slab softens the release adhesive and telegraphs every seam.
Cubicle panel cores hold water and then hold the smell
As the coordinated steps continue, the core behind the fabric dries far slower than the surface, so odor returns whenever the floor gets humid.

With the scene stabilized, start with the short explanation. From the first status check, open a card if you want a little more detail.

Questions about office water cleanup
How much does office water damage cleanup cost?
To keep the incident under control, as national estimates, one or two rooms of clean water commonly runs $1,500 to $5,000.
Can we keep working while you dry the office?
From the first status check, usually yes, on part of the floor. From the first status check, we contain the wet zone with zip walls, run air scrubbers inside it, and agree a temporary seating plan with your facilities manager.
As the coordinated steps continue, our computers were sitting in water. Can they be saved?
From the first status check, sometimes, but only if nobody powers them on. To keep the incident under control, water plus power drives corrosion immediately and removes the option.
Is it safe to go into the server closet?
To keep the incident under control, treat it as live until your building engineer says otherwise. To keep the incident under control, a UPS or battery backup keeps the deployed equipment plugged into it live even after the panel is off, so the rack stays energized until your engineer confirms otherwise.
Can wet files and records be saved?
From the first status check, often yes, provided they are handled on the day it happens. With the scene stabilized, we sort by priority, box them flat, and get them out of humid air fast.
Do you have to lift the carpet tile?
With the scene stabilized, where the slab under it is wet, yes. With the scene stabilized, tiles come up in numbered runs, get cleaned and dried off the floor, then go back down.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
With the scene stabilized, yes, and on office jobs it is often the better plan. To keep the incident under control, extraction, tile lifting and ceiling work are disruptive, so we schedule them when the floor is empty.
