Signs to look for

When to call us for restaurant water cleanup

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

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

Gurgling means the line is struggling and the next surge will come up onto the floor. It typically happens at your peak hour because that is when flow is heaviest.

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

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

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

That corner takes the most water in the building and the wall behind it is typically FRP wall panel over gypsum.

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

Front of house carpet hides water because the pattern and the low light forgive everything. Banquette seating bases sit on the floor and wick straight into the frame and the foam.

What happens

How we handle restaurant water cleanup

Our crew adjusts the work to which areas and materials are wet, the distance the water traveled, and what materials can be saved.

A source and safety walk before the mop comes out

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

Anything in permeable packaging goes out, and so does any compromised can, meaning dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen.

Contained extraction of contaminated water

Drain water and grease trap water are contained and extracted to controlled disposal. It is never squeegeed out a back door, into a parking lot or into a storm drain.

Equipment moved out and the floor beneath it recovered

Our crew 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

Floors are cleaned with detergent and agitation, including grout lines and the drain surround where soils sit. Physical removal of soil does most of the work before any sanitizer is applied.

Food contact surface cleaning and disinfection

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

Your call
2
Shut down and stand back

Get power to the wet area off, stop using the dish machine and the affected drains, and keep staff out of standing water.
+5 minutes
3
Protect the food, then call your inspector

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

We meter the kitchen, the dining room and the shared walls, then agree what is contaminated and what is simply wet.
On arrival
5
Contained extraction and equipment lifted clear

Contaminated water is extracted to controlled disposal and equipment is rolled or blocked up so the floor under it is reached.
First hours on site
6
Cleaning and disinfection overnight

Floors, grout, drain surrounds, walls and food contact surfaces are cleaned and then treated with a sanitizer at label strength.
Overnight
7
Drying equipment in and readings started

Air movers, Professional dehumidifiers and air scrubbers go in with baseline readings recorded. Front of house and back of house are dried as separate zones with their own logs.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We walk you through the recommended cleanup plan and price before you approve the job. 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	National estimate. 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 estimate. Contained extraction, equipment moves, food surface work and controlled disposal.	$8,000 to $25,000
Restaurant cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	National estimate. 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 estimate. 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 estimate. Excludes your refrigeration contractor's disconnect and reconnect.	$1,500 to $6,000
Quarry tile, grout and drain surround deep cleaning	National estimate. Detergent cleaning with agitation, then sanitizer at label strength.	$600 to $2,500
Contaminated debris and discarded product removal, per container load	National estimate. Controlled disposal, documented for your loss record.	$400 to $900
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	National estimate. 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 equipment count.
Clean supply water versus drain water
A broken supply line is clean water.
How much fixed equipment has to be moved
Every prep table, reach in refrigerator and line unit that gets rolled out is labor. Anything with a gas or refrigeration connection also waits on your service tech's schedule.
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
Washing, rinsing and sanitizing every affected surface at label strength takes time and it cannot be rushed. A large open kitchen has a lot of surface.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Water may keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A closure that runs long is the real loss

Wages, spoiled product and lost covers stack up every day the doors stay shut. Cleaning properly once is faster than reopening, failing a reinspection and closing again.

Contaminated water spread by mopping becomes a bigger work plan

Pushing drain water across a kitchen carries bacteria into dry areas and under equipment. What could have been one contained zone becomes the whole back of house.

Walk in cooler panels fail from between the skins

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

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

Begin with the short explanation. 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?

As national estimates, a dining room only loss commonly runs $2,500 to $8,000. A kitchen and dining room with drain water is frequently $8,000 to $25,000.

Do we have to close the restaurant?

That is your health department's call, not ours. Contaminated water in a food area almost always means closing that area.

How fast can we reopen?

Cleaning and disinfection is typically one overnight shift. 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?

Anything in permeable packaging, and any can that is dented, rusted, seam damaged or swollen. Sealed undamaged containers can sometimes stay where your health authority approves cleaning and sanitizing the exterior.

Should we tell the health department, or wait?

Tell them. 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?

Often, but the decision is not ours. Your refrigeration and gas service techs assess anything with a motor, a control board or a gas connection.

Our commercial water heater flooded the closet. What do we shut off?

Shut the heater down first, meaning the gas control to off or the breaker off, then close the cold inlet valve.
