How long does water damage cleanup take?
Extraction usually takes hours. Drying often takes several days, depending on the materials, the type of water and how long it sat.
Why call local water damage pros for after-hours flood response?
They can start extraction the same night and know the common causes of water damage in local homes and buildings.
What documentation is provided for insurance after water damage?
Photos, moisture readings, a list of removed materials and daily drying logs that show how the structure was dried.
What should I do while waiting for water removal help?
Shut off the water, turn off power to wet rooms if safe, move valuables to a dry area and take photos of the damage.
How fast should emergency water extraction start?
