Response and recovery

Services for Water-Affected Homes

Water type, affected materials, duration, safety conditions, and hidden moisture all influence the appropriate response.

01

Water Extraction

Removal of standing water from accessible areas using equipment suited to the conditions on site.

02

Structural Drying

Air movement, dehumidification, moisture monitoring, and drying plans for affected building materials.

03

Moisture Assessment

Evaluation of visible and suspected moisture in flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinetry, and nearby materials.

04

Damage Cleanup

Cleaning, removal, and disposal options for materials that cannot be safely or practically restored.

05

Odor & Mold Concerns

Assessment and remediation options when damp conditions, odors, or suspected microbial growth are present.

06

Reconstruction

Repair and rebuilding options after damaged materials are removed and the affected structure is dry.

Immediate priorities

Protect People Before Property

  • Leave areas with sagging ceilings or structural damage
  • Avoid standing water near outlets, panels, or equipment
  • Stop the source only when it is safe to do so
  • Photograph visible damage if conditions allow
  • Contact your insurer promptly if you plan to file a claim
Do not enter unsafe water. Floodwater and sewage may contain contaminants, and water near electricity can be deadly. Call 911 for immediate danger and follow instructions from local authorities and utilities.
Professional inspecting building conditions

What a Provider May Evaluate

Source and water type

A clean supply-line leak is different from stormwater or sewage. Source and contamination affect the work plan.

Extent of moisture

Water can move beneath flooring and into wall cavities, so visible damage may not show the full affected area.

Drying and repair scope

Ask what can be dried, what may need removal, how progress is measured, and whether reconstruction is included.

Water Damage Questions

Should I wait for insurance before getting help?

Policy requirements vary. Contact your insurer promptly, protect the property when safe, document damage, and keep receipts. Only the insurer can determine coverage.

How long does drying take?

Timing varies with materials, saturation, temperature, humidity, airflow, and the extent of damage. The provider should monitor conditions and explain progress.

Is same-day service guaranteed?

No. Call to check participating-provider availability. Severe storms and widespread events can reduce appointment capacity.
