Signs to look for
When to call us for office water cleanup
As we protect the property, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Carpet tile seams are lifting or edges have curled in a walkway
With steady care, carpet tile is held by a release adhesive that softens when it stays wet.
A dark line along the base of a cubicle panel
As we protect the property, fabric wrapped panels wick upward from the floor and the core behind the fabric holds it.
Water is visible at a floor box or a raised access floor panel
With steady care, floor boxes carry live power and data, so nobody should open one.
Banker boxes on the bottom shelf of the file room feel cool or soft
With steady care, paper wicks fast and swells, and a bottom row can pull water several inches up the box.
The server closet smells humid or the rack feels damp
For dependable recovery, a UPS, meaning an uninterruptible power supply, keeps the equipment plugged into it live even after the panel is off, so treat the rack as energized until your engineer confirms otherwise.

How much does office water damage cleanup cost?
For dependable recovery, as national estimates, one or two rooms of clean water commonly runs $1,500 to $5,000.
Can we keep working while you dry the office?
From the first walkthrough, usually yes, on part of the floor. From the first walkthrough, we contain the wet zone with zip walls, run air scrubbers inside it, and agree a temporary seating plan with your facilities manager.

Do you have to lift the carpet tile?

Do you work at night and on weekends?
