Emergency Office Water Extraction

Burst pipes and sprinkler discharges do not wait for business hours. Help is available 24/7, and extraction starts once the area is safe.

Commercial Carpet Water Extraction

Glue-down and carpet-tile floors are extracted with weighted or truck-mounted tools that pull water from the backing as well as the surface.

Office Building Flood Cleanup

Floodwater from outside or a sewer backup is treated as contaminated. Wet porous materials are removed and floors are cleaned and disinfected before drying.

Brown rings or sagging acoustic tiles mean water is collecting above the grid from a roof drain, pipe or the floor above.

Carpet that feels damp or makes a squishing sound underfoot means water is in the backing or sitting on the slab beneath it.

Swollen Baseboards

Baseboards that swell, split or pull from the wall show that water has wicked up into the drywall behind them.

Restroom and break-room supply hoses can split without warning and run for hours, especially overnight or on weekends.

Night and weekend extraction to keep the office open can carry a higher rate than work done during business hours.

FAQ: Water Extraction for Office Buildings

How long does it take to dry an office after a leak?

Most offices dry in three to five days, depending on how much water there was and the type of flooring and walls. Readings decide when it is done.

Who pays for water damage in a leased office?

It depends on the lease and the policies. The building policy usually covers the structure, and the tenant's policy may cover contents.

What should staff do first when they find water?

Shut off the water if possible, unplug equipment in the area, move files and laptops and call (617) 404-2753 for extraction.

Can ceiling leak water removal prevent a ceiling from falling?

It helps. Removing wet tiles and the water sitting on the grid takes weight off the ceiling, and drying the plenum stops the drip from continuing.

What records will the property manager receive?

Photos, daily moisture readings and a list of removed materials for each affected area, which can be shared with insurers.
