FAQS
-
How fast can you arrive after an emergency?We’re available 24/7 and can typically be on-site within an hour. A fast response is critical to stopping the spread of damage, saving belongings, and starting the recovery process as early as possible.
-
What are the most common causes of water damage in homes?We frequently respond to issues from overflowing sinks, leaking dishwashers, clogged toilets, broken washing machine hoses, and septic system backups. These issues can escalate fast—especially if left unchecked.
-
Can fast water mitigation really prevent mold?Yes quick water mitigation is the #1 way to prevent mold growth. Mold spores can begin to colonize within 24-48 hours in damp environments. When we extract water, set up industrial drying systems, and dehumidify fast, we reduce or eliminate the risk of mold altogether. By acting early, you avoid additional repairs and costly remediation down the line.
-
Why is delaying emergency mitigation a risk even if I haven’t called insurance yet?Most insurance policies require you to take immediate action to prevent further damage. If you delay, you risk partial or full denial of your claim. We provide all documentation to your adjuster, but the key is this: act now, protect your property, and avoid making a bad situation worse.
-
My laundry room smells awful and the drains are slow what could be happening?That could be a sewage backup or clogged line, especially if you're seeing water around drains or in lower-level fixtures. These situations are hazardous and need professional cleaning and disinfection to avoid contamination and long-term damage.
-
What should I do if I have water coming from the ceiling or floor?Avoid touching electrical appliances or fixtures in wet areas. Call us right away—we’ll stop the source, assess for hidden moisture, and begin the drying process before mold or structural damage can set in.
-
Can you help if I had a small kitchen fire or smoke damage?Definitely. Even minor fires can leave behind harmful smoke particles, odors, and soot that damage surfaces over time. We handle fire cleanup, deodorization, and air purification so your home is safe and livable again.
-
We had a lightning strike but no visible fire should I still call?Yes. Even if you don’t see flames, lightning can cause hidden electrical fires, burn insulation, or lead to smoke infiltration. We can inspect your home for safety, assess smoke damage, and clean or deodorize affected areas.
-
How much work can be done before I file an insurance claim?You can and should authorize all necessary emergency services immediately like water removal, securing the property, and drying. Insurers expect these steps to be taken to limit damage, and our team will provide all documentation to streamline your claim.
-
Will my insurance cover the damage?Most standard homeowners' policies cover sudden water or fire damage, but specifics vary based on the cause and your insurer. The good news: we work directly with your insurance company to handle the paperwork and ensure you’re covered properly.
-
What’s the process from emergency to full restoration?We start with immediate mitigation stopping the source, extracting water, or securing the structure. Next, we assess damage, work with your adjuster, and complete full restoration: from drying and deodorizing to rebuilds and content cleaning. We handle everything so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple vendors.
-
Can you help prevent further damage after a water loss?Yes, and that’s our priority. By drying out affected areas quickly and setting containment where needed, we stop the spread of moisture and prevent secondary damage like warped flooring, damaged drywall, and mold. Early intervention can literally save you thousands.
-
Do you serve businesses and commercial properties?We do. Whether it’s an office, retail space, or warehouse, we provide fast response and minimal disruption to your operations. Our team understands the urgency of getting businesses back up and running safely.
