Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for commercial flood cleanup

Before we get to work, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water entered at grade from the street or a storm drain

In plain words, water over a storefront threshold or down a loading dock ramp is street water.

There is water left standing and you do not know what is under it

Before we get to work, power to the area that got wet goes off before anyone enters, and never reach blindly into floodwater or debris.

The water left a silt line and a smell

Before we get to work, a visible tide line on drywall and a heavy earthy odor mean solids came in with the water.

Stock, files or equipment sat in the water

In plain words, cardboard wicks water up a pallet within minutes, and paper products draw it far above the water line.

Water crossed into the next suite

Before we get to work, a demising wall is rarely sealed tight at the floor, so water travels under it.

A shared riser, elevator pit or common area took water

To straighten this out, shared building elements are as a rule ownership work plan, not tenant work plan. In plain words, documenting the boundary on day one prevents a long argument later.

What happens

How we take on commercial flood cleanup

Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Hazard control before anyone enters

Once we are on the job site, power to areas that got wet is confirmed off, hazards are identified, and the entry route is cleared.

Depth, boundary and contamination call documented

Once we are on the job site, we record the high water line, measure the wet boundary on your floor plan, and state the water category in writing.

Bulk floodwater pumped and extracted to controlled disposal

In plain words, submersible pumps and sealed extraction move the water to an approved discharge point. To straighten this out, contaminated water is never squeegeed to a parking lot or storm drain.

Mud, silt and debris removal

In plain words, solids are shovelled and vacuumed out while still wet, since wet silt is far easier to remove than dried silt.

Inventory and equipment triage with a salvage list

Once we are on the job site, stock is sorted into salvage, cleanable and loss, item by item or by pallet.

Flood cut and removal of unsalvageable materials

To straighten this out, flood soaked drywall, insulation, carpet, pad and particleboard millwork come out at a clean measured line above the wet boundary.

What to expect

What to expect from our hands-on restoration team

Here is how we as a rule handle commercial flood cleanup near Wisconsin.

  1. 1

    You call while the water is still there

    Before we get to work, let us know the depth, where it came in, and whether anyone is inside. To straighten this out, we start the file and give you the keep out instructions right away.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Nobody goes in and power to the area goes off

    Once we are on the job site, have your engineer kill power to the area that got wet from a dry location, or call the utility.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Photograph from outside while the water is high

    Before we get to work, shoot the street, the entry point and the high water line from dry ground.

    +10 minutes
  4. 4

    Hazard control, then bulk water out

    Before we get to work, the crew clears hazards, sets protective equipment, and starts pumping and sealed extraction.

    First hours on site
  5. 5

    Silt out and inventory triaged the same visit

    Once we are on the job site, solids come out while wet, and stock is sorted into salvage and loss with job-site pictures. Once we are on the job site, waiting a day turns cleanable inventory into a write off.

    Same day
  6. 6

    Unsalvageable material removed at a measured line

    Once we are on the job site, flood soaked porous materials come out at a clean cut above the wet boundary.

    Day 1 to 2
  7. 7

    Cleaning and disinfection before drying settles in

    To straighten this out, surfaces are washed and treated, tools are decontaminated between areas, and waste leaves in sealed containers.

    Day 2

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Ground floor tenant space up to about 2,500 square feet, storm waterNational price breakdown. Includes pump out, silt removal, material removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying.$8,000 to $25,000
Multi tenant ground floor, several suites in one buildingNational price breakdown. Scales with suite count, separate paperwork and total material leaving the building.$25,000 to $100,000
Commercial flood cleanup billed by affected area, contaminated waterNational price breakdown. Same band as other contaminated commercial work, since the cleaning and disposal work plan matches.$9 to $18 per square foot
Emergency pump out of a flooded commercial lower levelNational price breakdown for pumping and extraction of the floodwater alone.$1,500 to $6,000
Mud, silt and flood debris removal, per container loadNational price breakdown per load plus tipping fees. Silt volume is the least predictable line on a flood job.$400 to $900
Inventory triage, documentation and disposalNational price breakdown for sorting, photographing, counting and removing stock. Loose retail stock costs more to process than palletised goods.$1,500 to $10,000
After hours dispatch on the first visitNational price breakdown for the after hours call out. Full crew overnight labor is priced separately.$100 to $400

  • Affected area and how far the water travelled
    To straighten this out, ground floor water spreads under partitions and into corridors.

  • Depth and how long the water stood
    Once we are on the job site, depth sets the removal height on porous materials, and contact time sets how far water wicked upward.

  • Volume of silt, mud and debris
    In plain words, solids removal is labor heavy and priced by load.

  • Inventory handling and documentation
    To straighten this out, sorting, photographing, counting and disposing of stock is its own work plan.

  • Cleaning and disinfection work plan
    In plain words, every affected surface is cleaned before drying, which does not happen on clean water jobs.

  • Number of tenants and separate scopes
    Each occupant needs their own marked area, readings and file. Multi tenant buildings carry more paperwork and coordination time than a single occupant loss.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Contaminated water becomes a staff and customer issue

To straighten this out, floodwater carries bacteria from streets and surcharged drains.

Inventory value falls by the hour

Before we get to work, cardboard, paper, textiles and packaged goods wick water upward long after the flood stops. In plain words, stock that could be cleaned on day one is frequently a total loss by day three.

Silt dries into dust and spreads building wide

Once we are on the job site, wet silt removes easily.

The landlord and tenant argument hardens

Before we get to work, without an early documented split between building elements and tenant improvements, both sides guess.

Helpful service information

What to know about commercial flood cleanup

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Water shows up at the lowest opening.

Read the explanation

Commercial flooding has a geography that repeats across almost every property type. Water shows up at the lowest opening.

How the next step is decided

To straighten this out, demising walls between suites are commonly built on top of the slab without a seal, so water travels underneath into the neighbouring space at floor level.

Read the explanation

Once we are on the job site, multi tenant buildings share more than an address. To straighten this out, demising walls between suites are commonly built on top of the slab without a seal, so water travels underneath into the neighbouring space at floor level.

What may change the work

Corrugated cardboard draws water upward through its flutes, so a pallet standing in two inches of water can have wet boxes a foot up within hours.

Read the explanation

Inventory triage is a race against wicking, and understanding it makes better decisions. Corrugated cardboard draws water upward through its flutes, so a pallet standing in two inches of water can have wet boxes a foot up within hours.

Common questions

Questions about commercial flood cleanup

Is floodwater in a commercial building always contaminated?

Before we get to work, treat it that way. To straighten this out, water from streets and storm drains carries sewage, fuel residue and soil bacteria. In plain words, that makes it category 3 water, which tells you cleaning and disinfection, not just drying.

Can our staff start cleaning before you show up?

Once we are on the job site, no, not in standing floodwater. Once we are on the job site, power to the area must be off first, and nobody should reach into water or debris.

What safety gear do you use, and what about our people afterwards?

In plain words, crews work in gloves, eye protection, boots and appropriate protective clothing. Once we are on the job site, anyone who did touch floodwater should wash hands thoroughly.

How much does commercial flood cleanup cost?

In plain words, as national estimates, a ground floor space up to about 2,500 square feet commonly runs $8,000 to $25,000.

How long before we can reopen after a flood?

Once we are on the job site, water removal and silt removal as a rule take one to two days. In plain words, cleaning, disinfection and drying commonly add 4 to 7 days.

Does our commercial property insurance cover flooding?

In plain words, as a rule not. Once we are on the job site, surface water and outdoor flooding are standard exclusions and need a separate commercial flood policy.

Who pays, the landlord or the tenant?

Before we get to work, the lease settles. Before we get to work, ownership normally covers the building shell and common areas, and tenants normally cover stock and their own improvements.
