Signs to look for

When to call us for multi family water damage

With damage contained, 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

Before materials deteriorate further, 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

To protect the property, 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

Before materials deteriorate further, 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

To protect the property, 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

To protect the property, 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

Before materials deteriorate further, 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 property-protection 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

To protect the property, we walk the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it.

Working with your on site maintenance team

With damage contained, your tech usually gets there first, and that matters more than anything we do in hour one.

Access coordination for occupied units

To protect the property, we work from lockbox codes, master keys, gate and fob access, and your entry notice requirements.

Resident notices written for you

With damage contained, 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

To protect the property, 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 our controlled response continues, 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

With damage contained, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With damage contained, 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 dryingTo protect the property, national estimate for one affected room inside a lived in unit. As our controlled response continues, common areas and neighboring units are priced separately.$1,200 to $3,000
One unit plus the unit below through the floor ceiling assemblyTo protect the property, 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 weekBefore materials deteriorate further, national estimate for a multi floor loss with per unit documentation. With damage contained, reconstruction and finishes are not included.$12,000 to $45,000
Multi family building work priced by affected area, clean waterWith damage contained, 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 our controlled response continues, 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 outsideWith damage contained, 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 floorBefore materials deteriorate further, 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 unitTo protect the property, 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 waterWith damage contained, national estimate for an empty unit worked continuously.$2,000 to $5,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeWith damage contained, national estimate for the first visit outside business hours. As our controlled response continues, it is charged once, not per unit.$100 to $400 nationally

  • How many units and common areas are wet
    With damage contained, each space needs its own metering, equipment, readings and file.

  • Vertical spread versus one floor
    Before materials deteriorate further, water down a plumbing stack means ceilings, floor assemblies and wall cavities on several levels.

  • Occupied units versus vacant units
    As our controlled response continues, occupied work means appointment windows, notices, contents moved and equipment placed around furniture and people.

  • Floor assembly type
    To protect the property, 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
    Before materials deteriorate further, corridor carpet, stairwells, lobbies and shared laundry rooms are separate scopes with their own equipment and records.

  • Access, scheduling and after hours work
    As our controlled response continues, entry notice rules, quiet hours and resident availability all shape the schedule.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

As our controlled response continues, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Water keeps moving down the stack while you inspect and protect the first unit

Before materials deteriorate further, every hour of property check is an hour the plumbing stack chase and floor assembly keep feeding lower floors.

Habitability becomes a legal question rather than a maintenance one

Before materials deteriorate further, 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

With damage contained, lightweight gypsum concrete and the mat under the finish floor release moisture slowly.

Corridor carpet spreads humidity into dry units

To protect the property, 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

To protect the property, start with the short explanation. As our controlled response continues, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our controlled response continues, 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

To protect the property, water moves through a stacked building along paths that are built in, not accidental.

How the next step is decided

To protect the property, 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

To protect the property, the floor assembly is what makes multi family drying different from single family drying.

What may change the work

With damage contained, 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 our controlled response continues, drying an occupied building is a logistics discipline as much as a moisture one.
