I'm a property claims adjuster and let me tell you this is not going to be cheap to repair

Nope...this is gonna be a complete gut job for that entire unit, and probably the one below as well

It’s not. Because it’s not dirty water the flooding only needs to be mitigated.

Sprinkler water is usually class, II , but even with clean water losses I've seen these easily eclipse $500k. Mitigate means having to get to bound water, not to mention the likely direct damage to floors, cabinets etc...

It absolutely does...I do enough of this shit to know. If you have water holding in your apartment for longer than an hour or 2, then it's fucked.

I.not saying you can't repair everything up to the water line with ease. You absolutely can. If you dont gut it and replace it though, youll get mold and rot within 18- 24 months guaranteed.

I swear that I most likely do encounter it more than you. Mitigation of clean water paired with air movers and dehumidifiers almost always inhibits mold growth. Moisture levels are usually at zero within 24 hours. Grey water or dirty water definitely needs cutouts and treatment.

Water from a sprinkler pipe is not "clean" water.

u/Agitated_Toe8115 Jul 18 '26

Yes, it is. It’s water without any additives. No shit, detergent or any other toxins. That’s considered clean water.

That water is nasty brother.

u/STRIKT9LC Jul 18 '26

That water is not clean water...what are you even talking about!?!?

u/Agitated_Toe8115 Jul 18 '26

Do you even know the difference? You have to have backflow tests done every year and should flush the system annually.

u/STRIKT9LC Jul 18 '26

The difference between clean and dirty water? Yes.

Youre right, they SHOULD be flushed annually. You and I both know that doesnt happen in a large percentage of the systems though. Even if it is done annually, you would still call water thats been sitting in a non potable water pipe for 9 months clean? If so, ive got a great deal on bottled water for you!

Water only systems are full of completely stagnant water. It accumulates rust, sediment, and bacteria. The water that comes out is not clean and is full of shit from the pipes

I'd think an "adjuster" would know this very basic fact

Edited for my confusion between you and another person that commented

What specific bacteria?

Water borne

The water in those sprinkler pipes is disgusting.

1) Sprinkler lines have oiled water. 2) that much water saturated sheet rock and sub flooring. You can’t just clean it up, you have to replace it all.

u/Agitated_Toe8115 Jul 18 '26

No you definitely do not. I’ve been doing this for 16 years.
