How quickly do you respond to water damage emergencies?

First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so. Stop the water source if possible, then call us immediately. Don’t wait for your insurance adjuster—most insurance companies expect you to take immediate action to prevent further damage. Document the damage with photos, but avoid walking through standing water until we assess the electrical safety.

Coverage depends on the source of water damage and your specific policy. Most homeowners insurance covers sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes or appliance failures. However, gradual leaks or flood damage typically require separate coverage. We work directly with insurance companies, help document damage properly, and use insurance-approved estimation software to streamline your claim process.

The timeline varies based on damage severity. Minor damage affecting one room typically takes 3-5 days. Extensive damage involving multiple rooms or structural elements can take 1-2 weeks or longer.
