Within minutes, water wicks up drywall and saturates padding under carpet. Within 24-48 hours, mold can begin growing. Within a week, structural damage, warping, and biohazard conditions can develop. The faster we start extraction and drying, the less damage and the lower the cost.

Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, storm-driven roof leaks. Gradual leaks and flood damage typically require separate coverage. We're Xactimate certified and handle your entire claim so you pay $0 out-of-pocket for covered losses.

For minor damage (one room, clean water), usually yes. For major flooding, sewage backup, or multi-room damage, temporary relocation may be needed. If your policy covers Additional Living Expenses, we help you file for hotel and meals.

Drying typically takes 3-5 days depending on saturation. Full restoration (drywall, flooring, paint) adds 1-3 weeks for moderate jobs. We give you a detailed timeline after our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout.
