Signs to look for

When to call us for restaurant water cleanup

With damage contained, 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

With damage contained, 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

With damage contained, 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

With damage contained, 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

With damage contained, 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

To protect the property, 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

Before materials deteriorate further, front of house carpet hides water because the pattern and the low light forgive everything.

What happens

How we handle restaurant water cleanup

Our property-protection 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

With damage contained, we identify whether this is supply water, drain water or outside water, because that sets the whole protection plan.

Food disposal documented against the Food Code

Before materials deteriorate further, anything in permeable packaging goes out, and so does any compromised can, meaning dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen.

Contained extraction of contaminated water

Before materials deteriorate further, drain water and grease trap water are contained and extracted to controlled disposal.

Equipment moved out and the floor beneath it recovered

Our property-protection 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

As our controlled response continues, floors are cleaned with detergent and agitation, including grout lines and the drain surround where soils sit.

Food contact surface cleaning and disinfection

To protect the property, 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

With damage contained, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With damage contained, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Dining room only, clean water, extraction, cleaning and dryingTo protect the property, national estimate. With damage contained, 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 dryingTo protect the property, national estimate. As our controlled response continues, contained extraction, equipment moves, food surface work and controlled disposal.$8,000 to $25,000
Restaurant cleanup priced by affected area, clean waterTo protect the property, national estimate. With damage contained, 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 areaTo protect the property, national estimate. To protect the property, 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 dryingTo protect the property, national estimate. As our controlled response continues, excludes your refrigeration contractor's disconnect and reconnect.$1,500 to $6,000
Quarry tile, grout and drain surround deep cleaningTo protect the property, national estimate. With damage contained, detergent cleaning with agitation, then sanitizer at label strength.$600 to $2,500
Contaminated debris and discarded product removal, per container loadTo protect the property, national estimate. With damage contained, controlled disposal, documented for your loss record.$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeTo protect the property, national estimate. As our controlled response continues, almost every restaurant job includes closed hours work.$100 to $400

  • Affected area, measured rather than eyeballed
    The protection plan is the wet and contaminated footprint, including under equipment. That drives both cleaning labor and the equipment count.

  • Clean supply water versus drain water
    Before materials deteriorate further, a broken supply line is clean water.

  • How much fixed equipment has to be moved
    Before materials deteriorate further, every prep table, reach in refrigerator and line unit that gets rolled out is labor.

  • Walk in cooler involvement
    With damage contained, metering, opening or replacing a section of cooler panel is skilled work and it interacts with your refrigeration contractor.

  • Overnight and closed hours work
    To protect the property, 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
    As our controlled response continues, 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

As our controlled response continues, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A closure that runs long is the real loss

As our controlled response continues, wages, spoiled product and lost covers stack up every day the doors stay shut.

Contaminated water spread by mopping becomes a bigger protection plan

With damage contained, pushing drain water across a kitchen carries bacteria into dry areas and under equipment.

Walk in cooler panels fail from between the skins

With damage contained, 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

As our controlled response continues, 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

To protect the property, start with the short explanation. As our controlled response continues, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our controlled response continues, 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

With damage contained, a restaurant loss is judged on two standards at once. As our controlled response continues, 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

Before materials deteriorate further, 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

With damage contained, the walk in cooler is the item most often handled wrong. Before materials deteriorate further, 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

As our controlled response continues, quarry tile sits on a setting bed over concrete, and both are dense, so they release moisture only into very dry air.

To protect the property, kitchen floors are the slow half of a restaurant dry down. As our controlled response continues, 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?

With damage contained, as national estimates, a dining room only loss commonly runs $2,500 to $8,000. With damage contained, a kitchen and dining room with drain water is often $8,000 to $25,000.

Do we have to close the restaurant?

To protect the property, that is your health department's call, not ours. Before materials deteriorate further, contaminated water in a food area almost always means closing that area.

How fast can we reopen?

As our controlled response continues, cleaning and disinfection is usually one overnight shift. As our controlled response continues, 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?

To protect the property, anything in permeable packaging, and any can that is dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen.

Should we tell the health department, or wait?

With damage contained, tell them. To protect the property, 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?

As our controlled response continues, often, but the decision is not ours. With damage contained, your refrigeration and gas service techs inspect and protect anything with a motor, a control board or a gas connection.

To protect the property, our commercial water heater flooded the closet. What do we shut off?

With damage contained, shut the heater down first, meaning the gas control to off or the breaker off, then close the cold inlet valve.
