FAQ

Water Damage Questions

What should I do first after finding water damage?

If it is safe, stop or reduce the water source, keep people away from electrical hazards or contaminated water, move easy-to-lift valuables, and document visible damage.

When is water damage an emergency?

Active flooding, burst pipes, sewage backups, ceiling leaks near electrical fixtures, rapidly spreading water, or water affecting essential living areas may require urgent attention.

Can water be hidden behind walls or under floors?

Yes. Moisture can travel beneath flooring, behind baseboards, into drywall cavities, insulation, cabinets, and other materials even after visible water is removed.

Can wet materials always be saved?

Not always. Whether a material can be dried and retained depends on the material, contamination, how long it remained wet, and the amount of physical damage.

Will homeowners insurance cover water damage?

Coverage depends on the cause of the loss, policy terms, exclusions, deductibles, and whether the event is considered sudden, accidental, flood-related, or maintenance-related.

How is water damage repair cost determined?

Cost can depend on the amount and type of water, affected square footage, materials involved, drying requirements, demolition, cleaning, and any reconstruction that follows.

Should I take photos before cleanup starts?

When it is safe, photos and videos can help document the condition of affected rooms, belongings, and materials before they are moved or removed.
