Signs to look for
When to call us for hotel water restoration
As the home starts over, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Corridor carpet is dark along the wall outside several rooms
As the home starts over, corridor carpet wicks water sideways from under room doors and spreads it past rooms that were never involved.
Vinyl wall covering is bubbling, peeling or feels loose
As the home starts over, vinyl wall covering is close to a vapor barrier, so water behind it cannot dry outward through the surface.
Guests in one room block keep reporting a musty smell
As the home starts over, complaints clustered in a column or on one floor point at a chase or a cavity instead of housekeeping.
The floor is wet under or in front of a PTAC unit
To put this behind you, a blocked condensate drain on a PTAC unit overflows every cooling cycle instead of once. For a clean slate, it soaks the carpet, the pad and the wall base under the window wall.
Water is running down a stairwell nosing or standing in the elevator lobby
As the home starts over, stairs and lobbies are where upper floor water finally becomes visible, and both are guest traffic areas.
What happens
How we work through hotel water restoration
Our fresh-start team adjusts the work to what ended up wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Stack investigation up and down the column
For a clean slate, we meter the room that reported, then the rooms above and below it, and check the plumbing chase with a thermal imaging camera.
Room block isolation with your front desk
To put this behind you, disrupted room numbers are blocked in your system and keys are stopped so nobody walks a guest into a work zone.
Displacement sequencing that protects revenue
For a clean slate, we agree with your general manager which rooms are attacked first, usually the highest rate inventory and anything committed to a group.
A quiet reset plan with noise windows
On the way back to normal, loud stages such as extraction and demolition are scheduled inside windows your front desk approves.
Corridor and guest path protection
On the way back to normal, walkways get protection, cords are taped and ramped, and signage goes up where a floor is wet.
Vinyl wall covering handled from the correct side
As the home starts over, because vinyl wall covering blocks outward drying, wet walls are dried from the cavity side or the covering is cleared out in the affected band.

How many rooms are actually wet
The reset plan is the metered room list, not the reported room. A stack loss that reads wet on four floors is four room scopes plus corridors.Corridor and stairwell involvement
As the home starts over, corridor carpet is a shared zone that has to be dried while guests walk on it.Occupied property constraints
As the home starts over, noise windows, night work and staged access all stretch the labor hours.Vinyl wall covering versus painted gypsum
On the way back to normal, painted walls dry outward.Soft goods volume per room
As the home starts over, a box spring, headboard, drapery and case goods in every room means triage repeated room by room.Bathroom and chase work
To put this behind you, opening a tub surround or a chase is careful work in a finished room.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
To put this behind you, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
One failure takes a column of rooms out of inventory
To put this behind you, a single riser or valve can wet the same room position on several floors at once.
Moisture trapped behind vinyl wall covering has nowhere to go
For a clean slate, the covering seals the wall, so paper faced gypsum behind it stays damp in a warm occupied room.
Out of order rooms compound faster than the repair bill
For a clean slate, six rooms down for a week is forty two room nights at your average daily rate.
A smell in a returned room becomes a public review
To put this behind you, guests do not report damp, they report musty, and they do it in writing where everyone can read it.

Questions about hotel water restoration
How much does hotel water damage restoration cost?
To put this behind you, as national estimates, one guest room commonly runs $1,200 to $4,000. For a clean slate, a four to six room stack loss with corridors is often $12,000 to $45,000.
Do we have to close the hotel?
To put this behind you, almost never. On the way back to normal, we work room by room and floor by floor, block the disrupted room numbers, and keep guest paths protected.
How many rooms will be affected?
As the home starts over, more than the one that reported it, usually. On the way back to normal, guest bathrooms stack vertically, so water follows the chase down through the same room position on lower floors.
How long until a room is sellable again?
As the home starts over, most guest rooms dry in three to five days with daily readings. For a clean slate, rooms are released individually as they finish instead of all at once.
Can you work at night so guests are not disturbed?
To put this behind you, yes, and that is usually the plan. For a clean slate, extraction and demolition go into noise windows your front desk approves, and equipment on occupied floors is placed away from headboards and shared walls.
Can the guest room carpet and box spring be saved?
On the way back to normal, carpet wetted by clean or gray water is commonly cleanable once the cushion is handled.
Why does the vinyl wall covering have to come off?
For a clean slate, because it stops the wall drying outward. To put this behind you, vinyl acts close to a vapor barrier, so moisture stays in the gypsum behind it.
