Signs to look for

When to call us for commercial flood cleanup

For a clear turnaround, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, water over a storefront threshold or down a loading dock ramp is street water.

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

As the property moves toward recovery, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters, and never reach blindly into floodwater or debris.

The water left a silt line and a smell

For a clear turnaround, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, cardboard wicks water up a pallet within minutes, and paper products draw it far above the water line.

Water crossed into the next suite

For a clear turnaround, 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

Shared building elements are usually ownership recovery roadmap, not tenant recovery roadmap. Documenting the boundary on day one prevents a long argument later.

What happens

How we handle commercial flood cleanup

Our recovery crew adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Hazard control before anyone enters

For a clear turnaround, power to affected areas is confirmed off, hazards are identified, and the entry route is cleared.

Depth, boundary and contamination call documented

With each visible step, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, submersible pumps and sealed extraction move the water to an approved discharge point.

Mud, silt and debris removal

With each visible step, solids are shovelled and vacuumed out while still wet, because wet silt is far easier to remove than dried silt.

Inventory and equipment triage with a salvage list

With each visible step, stock is sorted into salvage, cleanable and loss, item by item or by pallet.

Flood cut and removal of unsalvageable materials

Along the recovery roadmap, flood soaked drywall, insulation, carpet, pad and particleboard millwork come out at a clean measured line above the wet boundary.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

For a clear turnaround, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a clear turnaround, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Ground floor tenant space up to about 2,500 square feet, storm waterAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. With each visible step, includes pump out, silt removal, material removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying.$8,000 to $25,000
Multi tenant ground floor, several suites in one buildingAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. With each visible step, scales with suite count, separate documentation and total material leaving the building.$25,000 to $100,000
Commercial flood cleanup billed by affected area, contaminated waterNational estimate. Same band as other contaminated commercial work, because the cleaning and disposal recovery roadmap matches.$9 to $18 per square foot
Emergency pump out of a flooded commercial lower levelAlong the recovery roadmap, national estimate for pumping and extraction of the floodwater alone.$1,500 to $6,000
Mud, silt and flood debris removal, per container loadFor a clear turnaround, national estimate per load plus tipping fees. As the property moves toward recovery, silt volume is the least predictable line on a flood job.$400 to $900
Inventory triage, documentation and disposalAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate for sorting, photographing, counting and removing stock.$1,500 to $10,000
After hours dispatch on the first visitAlong the recovery roadmap, national estimate for the after hours call out. For a clear turnaround, full crew overnight labor is priced separately.$100 to $400
  • Affected area and how far the water travelled
    Along the recovery roadmap, ground floor water spreads under partitions and into corridors.

  • Depth and how long the water stood
    With each visible step, depth sets the removal height on porous materials, and contact time sets how far water wicked upward.

  • Volume of silt, mud and debris
    As the property moves toward recovery, solids removal is labor heavy and priced by load.

  • Inventory handling and documentation
    Sorting, photographing, counting and disposing of stock is its own recovery roadmap. Palletised goods are faster per dollar of value than loose or shelved retail stock.

  • Cleaning and disinfection work plan
    As the property moves toward recovery, every affected surface is cleaned before drying, which does not happen on clean water jobs.

  • Number of tenants and separate scopes
    As the property moves toward recovery, each occupant needs their own marked area, readings and file.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

With each visible step, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Contaminated water becomes a staff and customer issue

Along the recovery roadmap, floodwater carries bacteria from streets and surcharged drains.

Inventory value falls by the hour

For a clear turnaround, cardboard, paper, textiles and packaged goods wick water upward long after the flood stops.

Silt dries into dust and spreads building wide

Wet silt removes easily. Dry silt becomes airborne fine particulate that travels on shoes and airflow into clean areas, doubling the cleaning recovery roadmap.

The landlord and tenant argument hardens

For a clear turnaround, without an early documented split between building elements and tenant improvements, both sides guess.

Helpful service information

What to know about commercial flood cleanup

As the property moves toward recovery, start with the short explanation. With each visible step, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

For a clear turnaround, water arrives at the lowest opening.

Read the explanation

For a clear turnaround, commercial flooding has a geography that repeats across almost every property type. For a clear turnaround, water arrives at the lowest opening.

How the next step is decided

Along the recovery roadmap, 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

With each visible step, multi tenant buildings share more than an address. Along the recovery roadmap, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, 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.

For a clear turnaround, inventory triage is a race against wicking, and understanding it makes better decisions. As the property moves toward recovery, 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?

For a clear turnaround, treat it that way. Along the recovery roadmap, water from streets and storm drains carries sewage, fuel residue and soil bacteria.

Can our staff start cleaning before you arrive?

With each visible step, no, not in standing floodwater. With each visible step, 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?

As the property moves toward recovery, crews work in gloves, eye protection, boots and appropriate protective clothing. With each visible step, anyone who did touch floodwater should wash hands thoroughly.

How much does commercial flood cleanup cost?

As the property moves toward recovery, 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?

As the property moves toward recovery, water removal and silt removal usually take one to two days. As the property moves toward recovery, cleaning, disinfection and drying commonly add 4 to 7 days.

Does our commercial property insurance cover flooding?

With each visible step, usually not. With each visible step, surface water and outdoor flooding are standard exclusions and need a separate commercial flood policy.

Who pays, the landlord or the tenant?

With each visible step, the lease decides. For a clear turnaround, ownership normally covers the building shell and common areas, and tenants normally cover stock and their own improvements.
