Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for restaurant water cleanup

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, gurgling means the line is struggling and the next surge will come up onto the floor. In plain words, it as a rule happens at your peak hour since that is when flow is heaviest.

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

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, 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

Once we are on the job site, that corner takes the most water in the building and the wall behind it is as a rule FRP wall panel over gypsum.

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

Before we get to work, front of house carpet hides water since the pattern and the low light forgive everything. In plain words, banquette seating bases sit on the floor and wick straight into the frame and the foam.

What happens

How we take on restaurant water cleanup

Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

A source and safety walk before the mop comes out

To straighten this out, we identify whether this is supply water, drain water or outside water, since that sets the whole work plan.

Food disposal documented against the Food Code

To straighten this out, 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 straighten this out, drain water and grease trap water are contained and extracted to controlled disposal.

Equipment moved out and the floor beneath it recovered

Our hands-on restoration 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

Once we are on the job site, floors are cleaned with detergent and agitation, including grout lines and the drain surround where soils sit.

Food contact surface cleaning and disinfection

In plain words, every food contact surface in the affected zone is washed, rinsed and treated with an appropriate sanitizer at label strength.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Dining room only, clean water, extraction, cleaning and drying	National price breakdown. 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	National price breakdown. Contained extraction, equipment moves, food surface work and controlled disposal.	$8,000 to $25,000
Restaurant cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	National price breakdown. 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	National price breakdown. 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	National price breakdown. Excludes your refrigeration contractor's disconnect and reconnect.	$1,500 to $6,000
Quarry tile, grout and drain surround deep cleaning	National price breakdown. Detergent cleaning with agitation, then sanitizer at label strength.	$600 to $2,500
Contaminated debris and discarded product removal, per container load	National price breakdown. Controlled disposal, documented for your loss record.	$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	National price breakdown. Almost every restaurant job includes closed hours work.	$100 to $400

Affected area, measured rather than eyeballed
In plain words, the work plan is the wet and contaminated footprint, including under equipment. To straighten this out, that drives both cleaning labor and the equipment count.
Clean supply water versus drain water
A broken supply line is clean water.
How much fixed equipment has to be moved
To straighten this out, every prep table, reach in refrigerator and line unit that gets rolled out is labor.
Walk in cooler involvement
Metering, opening or replacing a section of cooler panel is skilled work and it interacts with your refrigeration contractor.
Overnight and closed hours work
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
Once we are on the job site, 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

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A closure that runs long is the real loss

Once we are on the job site, wages, spoiled product and lost covers stack up every day the doors stay shut. Once we are on the job site, cleaning correctly once is faster than reopening, failing a reinspection and closing again.

Contaminated water spread by mopping becomes a bigger work plan

Before we get to work, pushing drain water across a kitchen carries bacteria into dry areas and under equipment.

Walk in cooler panels fail from between the skins

Before we get to work, 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

Once we are on the job site, 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

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

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

A restaurant loss is judged on two standards at once. 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 frequently 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

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

Kitchen floors are the slow half of a restaurant dry down. 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?

Before we get to work, as national estimates, a dining room only loss commonly runs $2,500 to $8,000. In plain words, a kitchen and dining room with drain water is frequently $8,000 to $25,000.

Do we have to close the restaurant?

In plain words, that is your health department's call, not ours. To straighten this out, contaminated water in a food area almost always means closing that area.

How fast can we reopen?

In plain words, cleaning and disinfection is as a rule one overnight shift. Before we get to work, drying commonly runs three to five days, but reopening frequently happens before drying finishes if the health department clears the food areas.

What food do we have to throw away?

In plain words, anything in permeable packaging, and any can that is dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen.

Should we tell the health department, or wait?

Before we get to work, tell them. In plain words, 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?

Before we get to work, frequently, but the decision is not ours. Before we get to work, your refrigeration and gas service techs assess anything with a motor, a control board or a gas connection.

In plain words, our commercial water heater flooded the closet. What do we shut off?

Before we get to work, shut the heater down first, meaning the gas control to off or the breaker off, then close the cold inlet valve.
