Water damage we help with

Good to know
If it's safe, shut off the water source and your electricity to affected areas, and move what you can off the wet floor. If anyone is in danger or there's a risk of electrocution, call 911 first. Then call the number on this page so a crew can be dispatched — the faster water is extracted, the less damage and mold you'll face.
Emergency water-damage crews aim to be on-site quickly — often within the hour, around the clock — because every hour of standing water means more damage. The exact window depends on crew availability in your area, and they'll tell you honestly on the call.
Often, yes — sudden and accidental water damage (a burst pipe, an appliance failure) is commonly covered by homeowners insurance, while gradual leaks and flood-from-outside usually are not. The restoration company can document the loss and work directly with your insurer; always confirm coverage with your own policy.
It depends on how much water, how far it spread, and what drying and repairs are needed. The restoration company assesses the damage and gives you a scope and price — and when it's an insured claim, much of it may be covered. Ask for the assessment before work begins.
Mold can start growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure, which is why fast extraction and thorough structural drying matter so much. Reputable restoration crews dry to a moisture standard and can remediate mold if it has already begun.
