Signs to look for
When to call us for large loss response
With clear direction, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A sprinkler head or standpipe discharged
With clear direction, sprinkler water arrives fast and under pressure, so thousands of gallons can leave before anyone reaches a valve.
A domestic water riser failed above occupied floors
With clear direction, a riser feeds every level it passes, so a failure high in the building wets everything below it.
Water is running down a stairwell or into an elevator shaft
For a smoother recovery, both are vertical highways that move water past floors without wetting them evenly.
Nobody can say how much water went in
For a smoother recovery, when the volume is unknown, the wet boundary has to be found by instrument on every level.
Your carrier has assigned a large loss adjuster or a consultant
For a smoother recovery, carriers escalate bigger files to specialist adjusters and often bring in a renewal process consultant. From cleanup toward a fresh start, that changes the documentation standard from the first day.
What happens
How we handle large loss response
Our guided-recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
A named project manager who owns the file
With clear direction, one person runs scheduling, documentation and communication for the whole event.
A first 72 hours plan issued on day one
As the property gets back on track, written priorities for hazard control, extraction sequence, equipment staging and power.
Vertical tracing of where the water actually went
As the property gets back on track, we follow the path down risers, chases, stairwells and shafts with meters and a thermal imaging camera.
A moisture map for every affected floor
For a smoother recovery, each level gets its own marked plan with the wet boundary, reading points and equipment positions.
Staged crews working multiple floors in parallel
With clear direction, crews are assigned by floor and by shift so work happens simultaneously rather than in a queue.
Equipment logistics and capacity planning
From cleanup toward a fresh start, air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and where needed specialized dehumidifiers are mobilized in trailer quantities.

What to expect
What to expect from our guided-recovery team
For a smoother recovery, here is how we usually handle large loss response near Holcomb, MS.
-
1
You call and we start scoping the event, not the room
For a smoother recovery, how many floors, what failed, whether it is still running, and whether power is available.
Your call -
2
Isolation and the specialist calls you should make now
From cleanup toward a fresh start, your engineer isolates the riser or valve. With clear direction, if the valve can only be reached through standing water, stop and call the utility.
+10 minutes -
3
Crews staged and the resource list built
For a smoother recovery, crew count, machine count and trailer loads are committed to your property. With clear direction, crews are dispatched today or tonight as staging allows.
First hour -
4
Hazard control and vertical tracing on arrival
As the property gets back on track, power to wet areas confirmed off, hazards controlled, then we trace the water down every floor it could have reached.
On arrival -
5
Extraction on every affected floor at once
For a smoother recovery, crews work floors in parallel, top down where the water is still moving. For a smoother recovery, standing water leaves the building before equipment planning finalises.
First hours on site -
6
The first 72 hours plan issued in writing
From cleanup toward a fresh start, priorities, sequence, equipment counts per floor and power arrangements go to every stakeholder.
Day 1 -
7
Equipment landed, power distributed, baselines recorded
For a smoother recovery, units are placed per floor with logged counts and temporary power in place.
Day 1 to 2
Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
With clear direction, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With clear direction, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Multi floor water event across roughly three to five floors of one building | From cleanup toward a fresh start, national estimate for the mitigation program only. | $75,000 to $400,000 |
| High rise riser or sprinkler discharge affecting several floors | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. As the property gets back on track, clean water keeps unit rates lower, while vertical access and floor count drive the total. | $50,000 to $250,000 |
| First 72 hours emergency stabilization on a large loss | From cleanup toward a fresh start, national estimate for the initial phase: hazard control, extraction on all affected floors, staging and equipment placement. | $25,000 to $100,000 |
| Large loss mitigation billed by affected area across floors, clean water | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. | $5 to $12 per square foot |
| Trailer mounted desiccant capacity with temporary power distribution, per day | With clear direction, national estimate for large open volume drying. From cleanup toward a fresh start, individual desiccant units and standard commercial dehumidification are priced far lower. | $1,500 to $4,000 |
| Project management, daily reports and per floor documentation, per day | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. For a smoother recovery, scales with the number of floors and the number of parties receiving the report. | $600 to $1,800 |
| After hours dispatch on the first visit | From cleanup toward a fresh start, national estimate for the after hours call out. For a smoother recovery, continuous shift coverage is priced separately. | $100 to $400 |
Number of floors affected
As the property gets back on track, each level adds its own mapping, equipment set, readings, reporting and release.Total affected square footage across levels
As the property gets back on track, the metered wet area on every floor is still the base measurement.Equipment quantity and type
From cleanup toward a fresh start, air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.Temporary power requirements
With clear direction, hundreds of amps of equipment load usually exceeds available circuits. With clear direction, distribution panels, cabling, or a generator placed outside the building are real line items.Vertical access and staging limits
With clear direction, freight elevator availability sets how fast equipment and crews move. For a smoother recovery, on a high rise, staging is often the schedule, not the labor.Project management and documentation depth
As the property gets back on track, daily reports, per floor moisture maps and multi party coordination take dedicated hours.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As the property gets back on track, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Undiscovered floors keep drying nobody is watching
From cleanup toward a fresh start, water travels down chases and lands two floors below the failure.
Late mobilization cannot be recovered later
For a smoother recovery, crew and equipment capacity is committed early or it goes to another property.
Undersized dehumidification stalls every floor at once
As the property gets back on track, if the equipment cannot handle the evaporation load, readings flatten out and nothing dries.
Documentation gaps become disputed equipment days
As the property gets back on track, with several parties reading the file, one missing day of readings on one floor invites a challenge to that entire period of equipment charges.
Helpful service information
What to know about large loss response
For a smoother recovery, start with the short explanation. As the property gets back on track, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
From cleanup toward a fresh start, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
Read the explanation
For a smoother recovery, the defining feature of a large loss is vertical behaviour. From cleanup toward a fresh start, water released under pressure high in a building does not stay where it started.
How the next step is decided
For a smoother recovery, each area is graded for class of loss, which describes how much of its porous surface is wet and therefore how much evaporation load the dehumidifiers must handle.
Read the explanation
As the property gets back on track, equipment sizing at this scale is arithmetic, and getting it wrong stalls the whole project.
What may change the work
From cleanup toward a fresh start, each floor carries a marked plan with the wet boundary, numbered reading points and equipment positions.
Read the explanation
With clear direction, documentation on a large loss is the product as much as the drying is, because several parties will audit it.

Common questions
Questions about large loss response
What counts as a large loss?
From cleanup toward a fresh start, there is no single legal threshold. With clear direction, in practice carriers treat losses running into several hundred thousand dollars as large loss files.
Why does water from one floor affect so many others?
As the property gets back on track, buildings are full of vertical pathways. With clear direction, water follows risers, pipe chases, conduit, stairwells and elevator shafts, and it drops through floor penetrations.
How much does a large loss water response cost?
With clear direction, as national estimates, a three to five floor event commonly runs $75,000 to $400,000 for mitigation alone.
How long does a multi floor drying project take?
For a smoother recovery, extraction usually finishes within the first day or two. For a smoother recovery, drying commonly runs 5 to 10 days per floor, longer where concrete or dense assemblies are involved.
What happens in the first 72 hours?
From cleanup toward a fresh start, hazard control, extraction on every affected floor, and vertical tracing to find every wet area.
Who deals with the sprinkler system?
With clear direction, your fire protection contractor. With clear direction, they isolate, drain and recharge the system and handle any notification the authority having jurisdiction requires.
Do you touch the elevators?
From cleanup toward a fresh start, no. For a smoother recovery, we pump and clean shaft pits, and the elevator service contractor isolates and later energizes and tests the equipment.
