Experiencing water damage in your home or property? Immediate action is crucial. Delaying restoration can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and higher repair costs.
Our IICRC-certified water damage restoration team is available 24/7 to provide emergency water cleanup, damage assessment, and full restoration services.
Whether you’re dealing with a burst pipe, flood damage, sewage backup, or appliance leak, we guide you through the entire process—from initial inspection to working with your insurance provider or offering self-pay estimates.
Water damage restoration is a multi-step process designed to assess, mitigate, and repair water-damaged areas in a home or business.
The process begins with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the damage, followed by water extraction to remove any standing water. Once excess water is removed, the affected areas undergo drying and dehumidification to prevent further deterioration and mold growth.
In cases where structural elements such as drywall, flooring, and baseboards are significantly damaged, they are carefully removed and replaced as part of the restoration process.
Additionally, sanitization and mold prevention treatments are applied following IICRC S500 standards, ensuring that any lingering moisture does not lead to future contamination.
The final step involves structural repairs and reconstruction to restore the property to its pre-loss condition, ensuring a safe and habitable environment.
Water damage can have long-term consequences if not addressed quickly.
One of the most immediate concerns is mold growth, which can begin within 24-48 hours of water exposure, leading to potential health hazards and further property damage.
As water sits, it also contributes to structural deterioration, weakening walls, floors, and ceilings, which compromises the safety and stability of a building.
Another major concern is electrical hazards—water can reach wiring, outlets, and appliances, increasing the risk of electrical fires or shocks.
Additionally, standing water and moisture create the perfect environment for bacteria, sewage contamination, and airborne toxins, posing significant health risks to occupants.
The longer the damage is left untreated, the higher the repair costs become, as extensive restoration and reconstruction efforts may be required.
Addressing water damage promptly ensures a safer home or business environment while preventing long-term financial and structural burdens.
Water damage can occur suddenly or develop over time. Here are some of the most common causes:
Aging pipes, freezing temperatures, or high water pressure can cause pipes to burst or leak. Even a small drip can lead to major water damage over time.
Heavy rain, wind, or clogged gutters can lead to roof leaks and flooding. Damaged shingles or missing flashing can allow water to seep inside, causing ceiling damage, attic flooding, and mold growth.
Washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters can leak due to hose failures, improper connections, or wear and tear. A leaking appliance can go unnoticed for days, leading to significant damage.
Blocked or overwhelmed sewer lines can result in hazardous black water damage, which is filled with bacteria and pathogens. This type of water damage requires immediate professional handling.
Condensation from air conditioning units can build up if the drainage system is clogged or faulty. Over time, this moisture can soak into drywall and floors, leading to mold growth.
Rising water levels from heavy storms, hurricanes, or broken dams can cause widespread destruction to homes and businesses. Flood damage requires specialized mitigation efforts.
Many homeowners are unsure if their water damage qualifies for insurance coverage. Our team provides comprehensive insurance support, helping you:

Every homeowner’s insurance policy is different, and coverage depends on the specific terms and conditions outlined by the provider. However, in general, most standard policies cover sudden and accidental water damage but exclude damage caused by negligence or lack of maintenance.
Water damage that occurs unexpectedly and is beyond the homeowner’s control is typically covered.
This includes incidents such as burst pipes, which can happen due to extreme temperature changes or pressure buildup.
Roof leaks caused by storms are another common covered event, as heavy rain, wind, or hail can compromise roofing materials, leading to interior water intrusion.
Additionally, sudden appliance leaks, such as a washing machine hose failure or water heater rupture, often fall under covered claims.
Finally, fire sprinkler discharge is generally included in policies, as it is considered an accidental and unforeseen water loss.
Some types of water damage are not covered by standard homeowners’ insurance policies.
Gradual leaks due to poor maintenance, such as a slow-dripping pipe that causes long-term structural issues, are usually excluded.
Flood damage, whether from rising water levels, hurricanes, or heavy rainfall, requires a separate flood insurance policy.
Additionally, sewage backups may not be covered unless the homeowner has an added endorsement for sewer and drain backups.
It’s crucial to review your policy or consult with an expert to determine what is and isn’t covered.
Our certified technicians follow IICRC S500 standards and use advanced technology to inspect water damage. This includes:
Using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water to prevent further saturation and damage.
The cost of water damage restoration varies based on the severity of the damage and the extent of repairs needed. Small jobs, such as minor leaks, may cost between $1,000–$3,000, while major water damage requiring extensive drying, material removal, and reconstruction can exceed $10,000. Our team provides a detailed inspection and estimate before beginning work so you know what to expect.
In many cases, homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes or appliance leaks. However, damage due to neglect, gradual leaks, or flooding may not be covered unless you have a separate policy. Our team can help you review your policy and work with your insurance provider to determine coverage.
If you experience water damage, act quickly to minimize further issues. First, shut off the water source if possible to stop the flow of water. Next, turn off electricity in the affected areas to prevent electrical hazards. Finally, contact a professional restoration service immediately to begin the drying and mitigation process. The sooner you act, the less damage your property will sustain.
The timeline for restoration depends on the extent of the damage. Drying typically takes 3-5 days, while full repairs and reconstruction can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Our team provides a clear restoration plan and timeline based on your specific situation.
Yes, mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure if moisture is not properly removed. This is why fast water extraction and drying are crucial. Our team applies antimicrobial treatments and ensures thorough drying to prevent mold growth and maintain a safe environment.
