Signs to look for
When to call us for condo water cleanup
For a clear turnaround, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A damp band on the wall where a plumbing riser runs
With each visible step, kitchens and bathrooms stack vertically, and the chase behind them carries a plumbing riser serving several units.
Water at a balcony door threshold or a window frame
As the property moves toward recovery, balconies, patios and windows are frequently limited common elements, meaning you use them exclusively but the association maintains them.
Ceiling stains in a top floor unit
As the property moves toward recovery, the roof is a common element in virtually every declaration, so water arriving from above the top floor is an association matter.
A neighbor reports a stain on their ceiling below you
Along the recovery roadmap, that means water left your unit, through your floor and into a shared assembly.
Water in a corridor, lobby or the mechanical room behind your wall
For a clear turnaround, common area water still reaches your unit under the door and through the wall cavity.
What happens
How we handle condo water cleanup
Our recovery crew adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Your condo documents read with you
Along the recovery roadmap, we go to the insurance article in the declaration and to the maintenance responsibility chart, which is usually a table nobody has opened.
The unit boundary established with readings, not opinions
With each visible step, a moisture meter and thermal imaging show whether the wet material is in your unit, in a party wall or in a shared chase.
Original specification separated from your improvements
Along the recovery roadmap, builder grade cabinets, original tile and original carpet are treated differently from the kitchen you installed in 2019.
Extraction and pump out of the unit
With each visible step, portable extractors reach through corridors, elevators and stairwells to pull water from carpet, padding and hard flooring.
Party wall and chase drying without unnecessary demolition
For a clear turnaround, shared assemblies are dried through small access points and cavity drying where possible, rather than opening a neighbor's finish.
Common element work coordinated with the board or managing agent
As the property moves toward recovery, anything in a corridor, riser closet, roof assembly or mechanical space needs association authorization.

Before we leave
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 situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| One room of a condo unit, clean water, extraction plus three to four days of drying | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. Along the recovery roadmap, a supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no material removal. | $1,200 to $3,000 |
| Whole condo unit affected, clean water | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. | $3,000 to $8,000 |
| Party wall or riser chase drying, per wall assembly | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. | $800 to $3,000 |
| Ceiling cleanup after a leak from the unit above | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. | $500 to $2,500 |
| Vertical stack loss across three or four units | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. With each visible step, multiple units, shared assemblies and a week or more of equipment across the run. | $10,000 to $35,000 |
| Condo work priced by affected area, clean water | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. As the property moves toward recovery, useful for comparing an association vendor's number against an independent one. | $3 to $7 per square foot |
| Association master policy deductible commonly charged back to the owner | For a clear turnaround, not our fee. Along the recovery roadmap, this is the typical master deductible range nationally, and larger associations carry higher ones. | $5,000 to $50,000 |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | As the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. As the property moves toward recovery, charged once, on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays. | $100 to $400 |
Which policy owns each item
With each visible step, this is the biggest cost variable in a condo and it is not about labor.Original specification versus your upgrades
With each visible step, original builder finishes are priced at original specification by the association's adjuster.How much of the unit is wet
Along the recovery roadmap, pricing tracks affected square footage, not the size of the unit deed.How clean the water was
For a clear turnaround, supply line water is the cleanest case and preserves the most finish.Shared assemblies involved
Along the recovery roadmap, drying a party wall, a chase or a floor assembly between units takes longer than drying a room.Building access and rules
As the property moves toward recovery, elevator reservations, loading dock windows, restricted work hours and long corridor hose runs all add labor.
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.
The association's deductible can land on you
As the property moves toward recovery, master policy deductibles are commonly five thousand to fifty thousand dollars, and larger associations run higher.
Your improvements are invisible in the association's recovery roadmap
Along the recovery roadmap, an association adjuster prices the building as originally specified.
One unit's water becomes three owners' repairs
As the property moves toward recovery, party walls and stacked units share floor assemblies and wall cavities, so water travels sideways and down.
Mold begins in 24 to 48 hours, inside an assembly you do not control alone
As the property moves toward recovery, damp material at room temperature is all it needs.
Helpful service information
What to know about condo water 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, declarations and bylaws normally include a maintenance responsibility chart that lists building components down one side and assigns each to the association or the unit owner.
Read the explanation
Along the recovery roadmap, the single most useful document in a condo water loss is a table most owners have never opened.
How the next step is decided
As the property moves toward recovery, bathrooms and kitchens are stacked vertically to share a plumbing riser, and the chase around that riser is a highway for water.
Read the explanation
For a clear turnaround, condos concentrate water through stacked units and shared assemblies, so direction of travel is the finding that matters.
What may change the work
An association adjuster prices the unit as originally specified, because that is what the master policy insures under most wordings.
Read the explanation
Improvements and betterments is the phrase that decides whether you get your kitchen back or a builder grade version of it.

Questions about condo water cleanup
Who pays for water damage in a condo, me or the HOA?
As the property moves toward recovery, it depends on what got wet and on your declaration's insurance article.
What is the difference between walls in and bare walls coverage?
As the property moves toward recovery, bare walls means the master policy insures the structure and stops at the unfinished studs, so drywall, flooring, cabinets and fixtures are on your policy.
With each visible step, the HOA says I have to pay their deductible. Is that legal?
As the property moves toward recovery, many declarations do allow the association to charge its deductible, or a share of it, to the unit where a loss originated.
What is loss recovery review coverage and do I need it?
As the property moves toward recovery, it pays your share when the association assesses owners for a loss, including a deductible passed to your unit.
With each visible step, water came from the unit above mine. What do I do first?
Along the recovery roadmap, move what you can away from the drip line, then send written notice to the managing agent and ask for a work order reference.
How much does condo water damage cleanup cost?
For a clear turnaround, as a national estimate, one wet room with a few days of drying commonly runs $1,200 to $3,000.
Do I need board approval before you start work?
With each visible step, not for work inside your own unit boundary, which you can authorize yourself. With each visible step, anything in a corridor, riser closet, roof assembly or another owner's unit needs association authorization, and we request it directly.
