As soon as you notice water intrusion into your home, you should first look for and stop the cause when possible. This could include shutting off your main water supply valve or calling an emergency plumber. In the event of flood damage, you would need to wait for flood waters to recede before you begin pumping water from your home.

Once you stop the source, you should contact a water damage restoration company to begin the drying process as quickly as possible – as well as let your insurance agent know about the issue to see if you have coverage.

Yes. If you do not promptly dry wet/water-damaged areas, the total damage is likely to increase. It is important that you begin the drying and extraction process as quickly as possible once you discover water in your home. However, you should also consult with a certified water damage company to make sure you are doing so safely. For example, if you have mold, you wouldn’t want to turn on air movers and spread it around the space.

Microbial growth can begin in as little as 24-48 hours of water exposure. Until treated and dried, mold can continue to grow and spread, causing more damage. This means it is important to start the drying process as soon as possible, while also taking steps to treat or eliminate the mold.

Hidden water damage is not uncommon, so knowing what to look for is always a good idea. If you see staining on walls or ceilings, bubbling, cracking, or even notice a bad smell, those could all be warning signs of hidden water damage.

Many professionals use specialized meters and IR cameras to verify whether or not hidden water is present. Depending upon the severity, you made need to completely remove the affected materials and replace them, along with drying the structure. If you are not certain, reach out for a free inspection.

It depends on what caused the damage in the first place. Natural disasters such as a flood, tropical storms, or heavy rains may not be covered by the typical policy and would require extra flood insurance.

However, many incidents are covered by a standard plan, so long as there is no negligence on your part that led to the water leak. Sudden and incidental causes like broken water heaters or burst pipes on your property will probably lead to successful insurance claims.

Additionally, our family-owned company will keep your insurance updated throughout the entire process.

In all honesty, pretty much everything in your home or business could be at risk. Carpet and upholstered materials are particularly vulnerable. Drywall and wood flooring are both porous materials that can end up rotting if exposed for a long period. Even less porous materials like concrete or stone may be in danger if the water is not removed quickly.

If you respond to the incident quickly, our emergency restoration services can do damage repair for all these materials and try to preserve them for you, including carpet cleaning, replacing air ducts, repairing floors, and cleaning affected surfaces.

Yes, and it is a very important difference. Mold removal simply refers to the process of eliminating the presence of mold.

Mold remediation experts, however, eliminate the mold problem while also removing the source of the moisture that is allowing mold to grow. It is a more complete process that prevents further spread in the future.
