Frequently Asked Questions

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

How quickly can you respond to water damage?

We offer 24/7 emergency response and can typically be on-site within an hour. Fast action is essential to reduce damage, and our team is trained to act immediately to protect your property.

We manage all types—burst pipes, appliance leaks, storm flooding, sewage backups, and more. Whether the water is clean or contaminated, we’re fully equipped to clean, dry, and restore your property safely.

Yes, we work closely with most major insurance providers. We’ll help document the damage, provide estimates, and guide you through the claims process to make it as smooth as possible.

Every situation is different. Some jobs take a few days, while more extensive damage may require over a week. We’ll provide a clear timeline after assessing the damage and keep you updated throughout.

Will there be mold after water damage?

If water isn’t properly removed and dried, mold can develop in as little as 24–48 hours. That’s why we use industrial drying equipment and moisture meters to ensure thorough drying and prevent mold growth.

We use professional-grade water extractors, dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detectors. Our tools allow us to remove water quickly, dry hidden areas, and prevent further damage or microbial growth.

In many cases, yes. We evaluate and attempt to salvage items like furniture, electronics, and documents using specialized cleaning and drying techniques. We’ll always inform you about what’s restorable.

That depends on the extent and location of the damage. For minor incidents, staying might be possible, but for severe flooding or contamination, temporary relocation is often recommended for your safety.
