Signs to look for

When to call us for industrial 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 reached the base of production equipment or a control panel

From the first status check, do not energize anything that has been wet, including for a quick test.

Water is standing in a floor pit, trench drain or sump

From the first status check, pits collect the deepest water and often the dirtiest.

Raw material or packaging on the floor and bottom racks is wet

With the scene stabilized, bagged product, corrugated cases and fiber drums wick water upward fast.

Water entered an electrical room or motor control center

With the scene stabilized, that can take the whole facility offline, and the deployed equipment inside is not ours to touch. With the scene stabilized, your electrician controls access and re energizing on their schedule.

Bare concrete has gone dark and is staying dark

As the coordinated steps continue, unsealed slab absorbs a surprising volume and gives it back slowly.

The water has contacted process chemicals or oils

To keep the incident under control, water that mixed with process fluid is contained and handed to your environmental health and safety lead.

What happens

How we take command of industrial 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.

Working inside your site safety program

From the first status check, contractor orientation, sign in, escort requirements and required protective equipment.

Lockout tagout performed by your authorized personnel

From the first status check, isolation of any equipment near our work is done by your authorized personnel under your program.

A hazard walk with your environmental health and safety lead

To keep the incident under control, we walk the area inside the incident zone with your lead, agree the boundary, note chemical and process hazards, and confirm which zones are off limits.

Bulk water removal at plant scale

To keep the incident under control, submersible pumps and truck mounted extraction clear open concrete quickly. From the first status check, volume, not finish, is the constraint on most industrial floors.

Pits, trench drains and low points cleared

As the coordinated steps continue, water hides below floor level and keeps humidity high.

Racking and raw material triage

From the first status check, bottom rack stock, bagged material and packaging are sorted into usable, questionable and loss, then photographed and counted before anything leaves.

What to expect

What to expect from our incident command team

To keep the incident under control, here is how we usually handle industrial water cleanup near North Carolina.

  1. 1

    You call with the lines that are down

    As the coordinated steps continue, which areas are affected, what equipment is involved, and your cost per production hour.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Isolation, and the sentence we say every time

    From the first status check, your authorized personnel isolate the source and de energize areas inside the incident zone under your own program.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Your safety and access requirements collected

    To keep the incident under control, orientation, permits, escort rules, protective equipment and any confined space requirements. As the coordinated steps continue, paperwork runs in parallel with dispatch.

    +15 minutes
  4. 4

    Crew oriented and badged before entering the plant

    As the coordinated steps continue, crews complete your orientation at the gate rather than negotiating at it. From the first status check, crews are mobilized today or tonight depending on your shift pattern.

    Before we enter
  5. 5

    Hazard walk and zone boundaries agreed

    From the first status check, we walk the area with your lead, mark the wet boundary, and agree which zones are released to us and which stay locked out.

    On arrival
  6. 6

    Bulk water off the floor and out of the pits

    From the first status check, pumps and extraction clear open concrete first, then low points and trench drains under your permits.

    First hours on site
  7. 7

    Racking and raw material triaged the same shift

    From the first status check, wet stock is sorted, photographed and counted with your materials team present. As the coordinated steps continue, waiting a shift turns questionable material into confirmed loss.

    Same shift

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 situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Plant area up to about 10,000 square feet, bare or sealed concrete, clean waterNational estimate. Includes pump out, extraction, pit clearing, drying and incident documentation, before any equipment work.$10,000 to $40,000
Production hall or several bays affectedWith the scene stabilized, national estimate. To keep the incident under control, scales with congestion, air volume, material triage and how many zones need separate handback.$40,000 to $200,000
Industrial water removal and drying billed by affected area, open concreteWith the scene stabilized, national estimate.$3 to $8 per square foot
Racking and raw material triage with documented disposalWith the scene stabilized, national estimate for sorting, photographing, counting and removing wet stock.$5,000 to $30,000
Drying support around production equipment, our work plan onlyNational estimate for targeted airflow, humidity control and incident documentation around machinery. Electrical testing and equipment repair are your contractor's work plan.$2,000 to $15,000
Desiccant dehumidification for a large open plant volume, per dayWith the scene stabilized, national estimate including temporary power arrangements. With the scene stabilized, single desiccant units and standard commercial dehumidification are priced far lower.$1,500 to $4,000
After hours dispatch on the first visitAs the coordinated steps continue, national estimate for the after hours call out only.$100 to $400
  • Affected floor area and how open it is
    As the coordinated steps continue, open concrete extracts and dries efficiently per square foot.

  • How much of it is concrete versus finished space
    To keep the incident under control, bare and sealed slab has few porous finishes to remove, which keeps unit rates lower than finished commercial space.

  • Depth and how many pits and drains are involved
    From the first status check, low points hold the deepest water and often need permit controlled entry. As the coordinated steps continue, each pit adds setup, an attendant and time.

  • Volume of air to dehumidify
    From the first status check, high bay space is a large air volume.

  • Equipment units multiplied by days
    To keep the incident under control, air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.

  • Raw material and racking triage volume
    To keep the incident under control, sorting, photographing, counting and removing wet stock is labor.

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.

Downtime outgrows the cleanup invoice almost immediately

As the coordinated steps continue, multiply your contribution per production hour by the hours a line is idle.

Energizing wet equipment destroys it and endangers people

As the coordinated steps continue, water in a control panel or across motor windings invites arc flash and insulation failure.

Flash rust appears on machined surfaces within hours

As the coordinated steps continue, bare steel, ways, tooling and unpainted castings corrode fast in a saturated space.

Corrosion inside panels shows up weeks after the water is gone

As the coordinated steps continue, moisture that entered a variable frequency drive or a programmable logic controller enclosure keeps working on contacts and boards.

Helpful service information

What to know about industrial 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

Work out your contribution per production hour, then multiply by the hours each affected line will be idle.

Read the explanation

The economics of an industrial water loss are unlike any other property type. Work out your contribution per production hour, then multiply by the hours each affected line will be idle.

How the next step is decided

From the first status check, equipment that has been wet does not get energized until a qualified electrician has evaluated it.

Read the explanation

With the scene stabilized, there is one rule on an industrial site that has no exceptions. From the first status check, equipment that has been wet does not get energized until a qualified electrician has evaluated it.

What may change the work

As the coordinated steps continue, bare steel, machined surfaces, tooling and unpainted castings develop flash rust within hours in a saturated space.

Read the explanation

As the coordinated steps continue, materials in a plant fail in ways nobody expects. As the coordinated steps continue, bare steel, machined surfaces, tooling and unpainted castings develop flash rust within hours in a saturated space.

Common questions

Questions about industrial water cleanup

Can you dry our production equipment?

We dry the space, the slab and the structure we are stabilizing we are stabilizing around it, and we control humidity fast to limit corrosion.

Can our responders begin a machine just to see if it still runs?

To keep the incident under control, no. From the first status check, energizing wet equipment risks arc flash, destroyed motor windings and permanent damage to drives and control boards.

How do you handle our site safety requirements?

As the coordinated steps continue, we complete your contractor orientation, sign in, permits and escort requirements before crews enter.

How much does industrial water damage cleanup cost?

As the coordinated steps continue, as national estimates, a plant area up to about 10,000 square feet of open concrete commonly runs $10,000 to $40,000.

How long until our responders can run production again?

With the scene stabilized, water removal is usually a matter of hours to a shift. To keep the incident under control, drying concrete commonly takes 5 to 10 days, sometimes longer.

Why does concrete take so long to dry?

As the coordinated steps continue, a slab absorbs water into its pore structure and releases it slowly from the surface.

Will our machined surfaces rust?

To keep the incident under control, flash rust can start on bare steel and machined surfaces within hours in a saturated space. With the scene stabilized, dropping humidity quickly is the best protection our responders can provide.
