Signs to look for

When to call us for retail water cleanup

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Boxed stock on the bottom shelf is stained or soft

So the repair lasts, the lowest shelf and the floor stack take water first, and packaging fails before the goods inside do.

A gondola deck or an MDF display base is swollen

For a job done right, on a steel framed gondola a swollen deck or kick panel is a replacement part while the steel frame still carries the load.

Luxury vinyl plank seams are lifting or the floor is cupping

So the repair lasts, water under a floating floor has nowhere to go, so it lifts seams and pushes planks apart.

Hangered garments smell damp or the rail is spotted

With sound workmanship in mind, fabric hanging near a wet wall picks up moisture from the air as opposed to from a puddle.

Water is showing at the storefront threshold or under the entrance door

So the repair lasts, storefront water more often than not comes from outside or from a mall common area, and the source decides who pays.

The stockroom wall base is dark or the back stock shelving is damp

With sound workmanship in mind, stockrooms share walls with other tenants and with service corridors, so they take water from the neighbors.

What happens

How we see to retail water cleanup

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

Customer safety set up before anything else

Before the finish work begins, the affected zone is barricaded, wet floor signs go out, and a clear path of travel is kept to the entrance and the cash wrap counter.

Merchandise triage on the sales floor

So the repair lasts, stock is sorted into sound, cleanable and damaged out, starting with the bottom shelves and floor stacks.

SKU level damage out documentation

So the repair lasts, every damaged unit is logged against its SKU with photos and a count, and the log is written in a format your point of sale system can absorb.

Salvage handling that respects your brand rules

Before the finish work begins, some vendors require damaged goods to be destroyed as opposed to sold at salvage, so we follow the rule you give us on paper.

Fixture triage and drying

Before the finish work begins, gondola shelving, slatwall panels, an endcap display and a mannequin base are each lifted and metered.

Stockroom and back stock recovery

So the repair lasts, back stock shelving is cleared bottom up and boxed stock is triaged the same way as the sales floor.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
One sales floor area, clean water, overnight extraction and dryingWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. Before the finish work begins, includes merchandise triage in that footprint and three to four days of drying.$2,000 to $7,000
Sales floor plus stockroom, water from a common area, about a weekWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, adds shared wall investigation, fixture work and higher merchandise volume.$7,000 to $25,000
Store cleanup priced by affected area, clean waterWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, the commercial band, and the usual way retail work scales once more than one aisle is wet.$4 to $9 per square foot
Merchandise triage, damage out documentation and packing, per boxWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, photography, SKU logging and counts included.$30 to $75
Display fixture lift, drying and reset, per fixture runWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, gondola runs, slatwall sections and display bases.$150 to $500
Hangered garment handling and cleaning, per itemWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. For a job done right, recoverable goods only, priced separately from structural work.$5 to $20
Failed floor covering removal and disposal, per square footWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. Before the finish work begins, applies where a floating floor traps moisture over the material underneath.$1 to $3
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, standard on retail work because most of it happens after close.$100 to $400

  • Affected sales floor area, set by meter
    The work plan is the metered saturated section including under fixtures. Fixtures make that footprint bigger than it looks from the aisle.

  • Merchandise volume in the wet zone
    For a job done right, triage, photography and SKU logging is labor, and a densely merchandised floor holds a lot of units.

  • Overnight and after close work
    Working around trading hours costs more per hour, and an after hours dispatch charge routinely runs $100 to $400 nationally.

  • Fixture count and construction
    Each gondola run, slatwall panel and display base has to be lifted, metered and either dried or logged as a loss.

  • Floor covering type
    Sealed hard floors are extracted and dried in position.

  • Stockroom involvement
    Before the finish work begins, a wet stockroom means shelving cleared bottom up and boxed stock triaged unit by unit.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A lost weekend is the most expensive part of a retail loss

For a job done right, retail revenue is concentrated in a few days, so a closure that runs into Friday costs more than the cleanup.

Merchandise thrown out without a record is money gone twice

For a job done right, damaged stock that leaves the building with no photograph, count or SKU cannot be substantiated afterwards.

All MDF fixtures lose load capacity for good

With sound workmanship in mind, on a steel framed gondola the swollen deck or kick panel is a replacement item and the frame keeps carrying the shelves.

A slick floor with customers on it is a liability claim

For a job done right, residue keeps a floor slippery after the water is gone, and a fall in your aisle is a separate loss entirely.

Helpful service information

What to know about retail water cleanup

With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

The contents portion of a claim is built from unit counts, SKUs, photographs and a damage out log that ties to your own point of sale records.

Read the explanation

Retail losses are settled on paperwork more than on labor. The contents portion of a claim is built from unit counts, SKUs, photographs and a damage out log that ties to your own point of sale records.

How the next step is decided

On a steel framed gondola the swollen deck, shelf or kick panel is replaced while the steel frame carries the load as before.

Read the explanation

Display fixtures are the quiet structural risk in a store, and the answer splits by how they are built.

What may change the work

That means a hard barricade as opposed to tape, and wet floor signs only where the floor is genuinely damp.

Read the explanation

Partial trading is possible when the safety plan is real. That means a hard barricade as opposed to tape, and wet floor signs only where the floor is genuinely damp.

Common questions

Questions about retail water cleanup

How much does retail store water damage cleanup cost?

Before the finish work begins, as national estimates, one sales floor area of clean water routinely runs $2,000 to $7,000. For a job done right, a sales floor plus stockroom is often $7,000 to $25,000.

Can we stay open while you work?

So the repair lasts, more often than not part of the store can. So the repair lasts, we barricade the affected zone, keep a clear path of travel to the entrance and cash wrap counter, and ramp every cord.

How fast can we fully reopen?

Before the finish work begins, most stores dry in three to five days with daily moisture values, and zones are released as they finish.

Can damaged merchandise be sold or do we destroy it?

For a job done right, that depends on your vendor and brand rules, and we follow the instruction you give us on paper.

How do you document the merchandise loss?

With sound workmanship in mind, each damaged unit is photographed, counted and logged against its SKU, in a format your point of sale system can take.

Can wet stock actually be preserved?

Before the finish work begins, often yes, because packaging fails before product does. For a job done right, sealed goods and hard items are routinely cleaned and repacked, and washable or synthetic garments are more often than not recoverable from clean or gray water.

Will our display fixtures survive?

With sound workmanship in mind, metal and solid wood fixtures more often than not do. So the repair lasts, an MDF or particleboard fixture base that has swollen has lost strength and does not come back, which matters because it carries loaded shelves.
