Signs to look for

When to call us for restaurant water cleanup

As the coordinated steps continue, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water is standing away from the floor drain instead of running to it

As the coordinated steps continue, a kitchen floor is pitched to the drain, so a puddle sitting still means the drain is blocked or the water is coming up out of it.

The floor drain or mop sink is gurgling during a busy service

As the coordinated steps continue, gurgling means the line is struggling and the next surge will come up onto the floor.

The base of a walk in cooler panel is dark or the corner is swollen

As the coordinated steps continue, water gets into a cooler panel at the joints, at the base channel and through damaged skins.

Quarry tile grout has gone soft or a tile rocks under your foot

As the coordinated steps continue, grout is the weak point in a kitchen floor and it lets water reach the setting bed and the slab below.

There is water under the dish pit or behind the three compartment sink

With the scene stabilized, that corner takes the most water in the building and the wall behind it is usually FRP wall panel over gypsum.

The dining room carpet feels cool near a wall or a banquette

To keep the incident under control, front of house carpet hides water because the pattern and the low light forgive everything.

What happens

How we take command of restaurant water cleanup

Our incident command team adjusts the work to which materials took on water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

A source and safety walk before the mop comes out

As the coordinated steps continue, we identify whether this is supply water, drain water or outside water, because that sets the whole work plan.

Food disposal documented against the Food Code

To keep the incident under control, anything in permeable packaging goes out, and so does any compromised can, meaning dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen.

Contained extraction of contaminated water

To keep the incident under control, drain water and grease trap water are contained and extracted to controlled disposal.

Equipment moved out and the floor beneath it recovered

Our incident command team rolls or blocks up prep table, reach in refrigerator and line equipment so the floor under them is extracted and cleaned.

Quarry tile, grout and drain surround deep cleaning

From the first status check, floors are cleaned with detergent and agitation, including grout lines and the drain surround where soils sit.

Food contact surface cleaning and disinfection

With the scene stabilized, every food contact surface in the affected zone is washed, rinsed and treated with an appropriate sanitizer at label strength.

What to expect

What to expect from our incident command team

From the first status check, here is how we usually handle restaurant water cleanup near Louisiana.

1
You call and let our dispatcher know where the water is coming from

To keep the incident under control, supply water, drain water and outside water are three different jobs with three different scopes. From the first status check, let our dispatcher know whether it is in the kitchen, the dining room or both.
Your call

Protect the food, then call your inspector

To keep the incident under control, move unaffected product into sound refrigeration and set aside anything that touched the water.
+15 minutes
4
Work plan walk with your manager on arrival

From the first status check, we meter the kitchen, the dining room and the shared walls, then agree what is contaminated and what is simply wet.

5
Contained extraction and equipment lifted clear

To keep the incident under control, contaminated water is extracted to controlled disposal and equipment is rolled or blocked up so the floor under it is reached.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As the coordinated steps continue, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the coordinated steps continue, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Dining room only, clean water, extraction, cleaning and drying	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, carpet extraction, banquette handling and three to four days of drying.	$2,500 to $8,000
Commercial kitchen and dining room, drain water, cleaning, disinfection and drying	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, contained extraction, equipment moves, food surface work and controlled disposal.	$8,000 to $25,000
Restaurant cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, the commercial band, applied to supply line and appliance water in either half of the building.	$4 to $9 per square foot
Contaminated water cleanup priced by affected area	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, floor drain, grease trap and sewer water sit in this commercial band.	$9 to $18 per square foot
Walk in cooler panel section removal and drying	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, excludes your refrigeration contractor's disconnect and reconnect.	$1,500 to $6,000
Quarry tile, grout and drain surround deep cleaning	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, detergent cleaning with agitation, then sanitizer at label strength.	$600 to $2,500
Contaminated debris and discarded product removal, per container load	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. As the coordinated steps continue, controlled disposal, documented for your loss record.	$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, almost every restaurant job includes closed hours work.	$100 to $400

Affected area, measured rather than eyeballed
The work plan is the wet and contaminated footprint, including under equipment. That drives both cleaning labor and the deployed equipment count.
Clean supply water versus drain water
To keep the incident under control, a broken supply line is clean water.
How much fixed equipment has to be moved
To keep the incident under control, every prep table, reach in refrigerator and line unit that gets rolled out is labor.
Walk in cooler involvement
As the coordinated steps continue, metering, opening or replacing a section of cooler panel is skilled work and it interacts with your refrigeration contractor.
Overnight and closed hours work
With the scene stabilized, working while you are closed is the norm here, and an after hours dispatch charge commonly runs $100 to $400 nationally.
Food contact surface cleaning volume
From the first status check, washing, rinsing and sanitizing every affected surface at label strength takes time and it cannot be rushed.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

From the first status check, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A closure that runs long is the real loss

From the first status check, wages, spoiled product and lost covers stack up every day the doors stay shut.

Contaminated water spread by mopping becomes a bigger work plan

As the coordinated steps continue, pushing drain water across a kitchen carries bacteria into dry areas and under equipment.

Walk in cooler panels fail from between the skins

As the coordinated steps continue, water that entered at a joint or the base channel is sealed between two steel faces in a room kept cold, with no evaporation path at all.

Wet grout and setting beds keep feeding the smell

From the first status check, soil left in grout lines and around a drain reactivates as soon as the floor gets wet again.

Helpful service information

What to know about restaurant water cleanup

With the scene stabilized, start with the short explanation. From the first status check, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

From the first status check, food areas have to be clean in a way an inspector can verify, and the building has to be dry in a way a meter can verify.

Read the explanation

As the coordinated steps continue, a restaurant loss is judged on two standards at once. From the first status check, food areas have to be clean in a way an inspector can verify, and the building has to be dry in a way a meter can verify.

How the next step is decided

Cooler panels are steel skins over a closed cell foam core, and that foam resists capillary uptake rather than drawing water upward.

Read the explanation

The walk in cooler is the item most often handled wrong. Cooler panels are steel skins over a closed cell foam core, and that foam resists capillary uptake rather than drawing water upward.

What may change the work

From the first status check, quarry tile sits on a setting bed over concrete, and both are dense, so they release moisture only into very dry air.

Read the explanation

With the scene stabilized, kitchen floors are the slow half of a restaurant dry down. From the first status check, quarry tile sits on a setting bed over concrete, and both are dense, so they release moisture only into very dry air.

Common questions

Questions about restaurant water cleanup

How much does restaurant water damage cleanup cost?

As the coordinated steps continue, as national estimates, a dining room only loss commonly runs $2,500 to $8,000.

Do we have to close the restaurant?

With the scene stabilized, that is your health department's call, not ours. To keep the incident under control, contaminated water in a food area almost always means closing that area.

How fast can we reopen?

From the first status check, cleaning and disinfection is usually one overnight shift. From the first status check, drying commonly runs three to five days, but reopening often happens before drying finishes if the health department clears the food areas.

What food do we have to throw away?

With the scene stabilized, anything in permeable packaging, and any can that is dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen. As the coordinated steps continue, sealed undamaged containers can sometimes stay where your health authority approves cleaning and sanitizing the exterior.

Should we tell the health department, or wait?

As the coordinated steps continue, tell them. With the scene stabilized, in most jurisdictions notification is mandatory after a sewage backup or a loss of potable water, so it is not really a choice.

Can our kitchen equipment be saved?

From the first status check, often, but the decision is not ours. As the coordinated steps continue, your refrigeration and gas service techs assess anything with a motor, a control board or a gas connection.

With the scene stabilized, our commercial water heater flooded the closet. What do we shut off?

As the coordinated steps continue, shut the heater down first, meaning the gas control to off or the breaker off, then close the cold inlet valve.
