Signs to look for
When to call us for office water cleanup
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, carpet tile is held by a release adhesive that softens when it stays wet.
A dark line along the base of a cubicle panel
Room by room, 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
To help your home recover, 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
To help your home recover, 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 a practical next step, 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.
What happens
How we handle office water cleanup
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
An electrical walk before anyone steps into the wet area
After you describe the problem, power to the affected area goes off through your building engineer or electrician first.
Wet electronics isolated and never energized
Computers, a network switch, a patch panel and anything on a server rack stay off and get lifted clear of the floor by our home recovery team.
A moisture map drawn on your floor plan
For a practical next step, a moisture meter reads the wall bases, the slab and the panel cores, and a thermal imaging camera shows the pattern above the ceiling.
Priority triage of paper records
After you describe the problem, wet files are sorted by how much they matter and how wet they are, then boxed flat and staged out of the humid air.
Carpet tile lifted, cleaned, dried and relaid
For a practical next step, tiles come up in numbered runs, get cleaned and dried off the slab, then go back once the concrete reads dry.
Workstation and cubicle triage
To help your home recover, panels are lifted off the floor, fabric is cleaned and the core is metered from the bottom edge.

Affected floor area, set by meter

Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Wet electronics that get switched on are destroyed twice
After you describe the problem, water plus power drives corrosion across a board in seconds, and it voids the honest option of cleaning and testing.
Paper records have the shortest clock in the building
For a practical next step, wet paper swells, ink bleeds and pages fuse into blocks that cannot be separated later.
Carpet tile adhesive keeps failing after the pile feels dry
For a practical next step, moisture trapped between tile and slab softens the release adhesive and telegraphs every seam.
Cubicle panel cores hold water and then hold the smell
Room by room, the core behind the fabric dries far slower than the surface, so odor returns whenever the floor gets humid.

Common questions
Questions about office water cleanup
How much does office water damage cleanup cost?
For a practical next step, 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?
After you describe the problem, usually yes, on part of the floor. After you describe the problem, we contain the wet zone with zip walls, run air scrubbers inside it, and agree a temporary seating plan with your facilities manager.
Room by room, our computers were sitting in water. Can they be saved?
After you describe the problem, sometimes, but only if nobody powers them on. For a practical next step, water plus power drives corrosion immediately and removes the option.
Is it safe to go into the server closet?
For a practical next step, treat it as live until your building engineer says otherwise. Room by room, a UPS or battery backup keeps the equipment plugged into it live even after the panel is off, so the rack stays energized until your engineer confirms otherwise.
Can wet files and records be saved?
After you describe the problem, often yes, provided they are handled on the day it happens. To help your home recover, we sort by priority, box them flat, and get them out of humid air fast.
Do you have to lift the carpet tile?
To help your home recover, where the slab under it is wet, yes. To help your home recover, tiles come up in numbered runs, get cleaned and dried off the floor, then go back down.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
To help your home recover, yes, and on office jobs it is often the better plan. For a practical next step, extraction, tile lifting and ceiling work are disruptive, so we schedule them when the floor is empty.
