Signs to look for

When to call us for multi family water damage

As the home starts over, 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

On the way back to normal, 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

For a clean slate, 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

On the way back to normal, 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

For a clean slate, 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

For a clean slate, 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

On the way back to normal, washer discharge is gray water and it goes straight through the floor assembly at the pan or the standpipe.

What happens

How we work through multi family water damage

Our fresh-start team adjusts the work to what ended up wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Mapping the full affected footprint before equipment is placed

For a clean slate, we walk the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it.

Working with your on site maintenance team

As the home starts over, your tech usually gets there first, and that matters more than anything we do in hour one.

Access coordination for occupied units

For a clean slate, we work from lockbox codes, master keys, gate and fob access, and your entry notice requirements. To put this behind you, appointment windows are set per unit so residents can plan around them.

Resident notices written for you

As the home starts over, 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

For a clean slate, corridor carpet, stairwells, elevator lobbies, laundry rooms and trash rooms are extracted and dried as their own areas.

Floor assembly and gypcrete drying decisions

To put this behind you, 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

As the home starts over, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the home starts over, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
One room of an occupied unit, clean water, extraction and three to four days of drying	National estimate for one disrupted room inside a lived in unit. Common areas and neighboring units are priced separately.	$1,200 to $3,000
One unit plus the unit below through the floor ceiling assembly	For a clean slate, 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 week	On the way back to normal, national estimate for a multi floor loss with per unit documentation. As the home starts over, reconstruction and finishes are not included.	$12,000 to $45,000
Multi family building work priced by affected area, clean water	As the home starts over, 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 water	To put this behind you, 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 outside	As the home starts over, 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 floor	On the way back to normal, 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 unit	For a clean slate, 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 water	As the home starts over, national estimate for an empty unit worked continuously.	$2,000 to $5,500
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	As the home starts over, national estimate for the first visit outside business hours. To put this behind you, it is charged once, not per unit.	$100 to $400 nationally

How many units and common areas are wet
As the home starts over, each space needs its own metering, equipment, readings and file.
Vertical spread versus one floor
On the way back to normal, water down a plumbing stack means ceilings, floor assemblies and wall cavities on several levels.
Occupied units versus vacant units
To put this behind you, 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 occasionally 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. They also usually belong to ownership instead of a resident.
Access, scheduling and after hours work
To put this behind you, entry notice rules, quiet hours and resident availability all shape the schedule.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To put this behind you, 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

To put this behind you, every hour of assessment is an hour the plumbing stack chase and floor assembly keep feeding lower floors.

Habitability becomes a legal question instead of a maintenance one

On the way back to normal, 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

As the home starts over, lightweight gypsum concrete and the mat under the finish floor release moisture slowly.

Corridor carpet spreads humidity into dry units

For a clean slate, 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

For a clean slate, start with the short explanation. To put this behind you, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

To put this behind you, 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

For a clean slate, water moves through a stacked building along paths that are built in, not accidental.

How the step back toward normal is decided

For a clean slate, 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

For a clean slate, the floor assembly is what makes multi family drying different from single family drying.

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?

As the home starts over, one room of an occupied unit with clean water commonly runs $1,200 to $3,000 nationally.

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

To put this behind you, we meter the reported unit, the units beside it, the unit below and the corridor outside it. As the home starts over, that is standard on every multi family dispatch.

Who pays, the building or the resident?

For a clean slate, by and large the master policy handles the structure and common areas, and residents or unit owners handle their own belongings.

Do residents have to move out?

On the way back to normal, often no. To put this behind you, many units stay livable with equipment running, and some do not, usually when a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom is unusable.

Can you work directly with our on site maintenance team?

For a clean slate, yes, and that is the fastest version of this job. For a clean slate, your tech isolates the source and knocks on the units below and beside.

Will you handle the resident notices?

To put this behind you, we draft the door notice text and your office approves and posts it.

Can you bill per unit instead of one building invoice?

On the way back to normal, yes. On the way back to normal, costs are tracked per unit and per common area from the first walk.
