Frequently asked questions
How fast does water damage need to be addressed?
The sooner the better. Standing water and wet materials should be addressed quickly to reduce structural damage and mold risk.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Coverage depends on the cause and the policy. Sudden plumbing leaks are often treated differently than long-term neglect or flooding. Ask your insurer and keep documentation.
Can I dry the area myself?
Small surface spills may be manageable, but water that has reached drywall, insulation, or subflooring usually needs professional drying equipment and moisture readings.
What should I do first?
If it is safe, stop the water source and shut off electricity to wet areas. Move valuables away, avoid walking in standing water, and call for help.
