Most homeowners and commercial property insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance malfunctions, or storm damage. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and can handle the claims process for you, including documentation, communication, and billing. Our team will assess your damage, provide detailed documentation for your claim, and work to get you the maximum coverage your policy allows. We recommend calling us first so we can start the recovery process while simultaneously notifying your insurance company. Coverage varies by policy, so we’ll help you understand what your specific plan covers.

Mold prevention starts the moment we arrive at your property. We begin with rapid water extraction to remove standing water within the first 24-48 hours, which is the critical window before mold spores start to colonize. Our industrial dehumidifiers and air movers create an environment where mold cannot thrive by reducing humidity levels below 60%. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and use HEPA filtration systems to capture airborne spores. Our technicians monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process using specialized meters to confirm all materials reach safe moisture content before we consider the job complete.

We classify water damage into three categories based on contamination level, which affects our approach and your safety. Category 1 (clean water) comes from sources like broken supply lines or sink overflows and poses no immediate health risk. Category 2 (gray water) contains some contamination from sources like washing machines or toilet bowls (urine only) and requires careful handling. Category 3 (black water) is highly contaminated from sewage, flooding, or standing water and poses serious health risks requiring full protective equipment and specialized cleaning. Each category requires different equipment, techniques, and safety protocols, which is why proper assessment matters before we start work.

Hardwood floor recovery depends on several factors: how long the water sat, the type of wood, and whether the finish is intact. We’ve successfully saved many hardwood floors by acting quickly to extract water, dry the subfloor, and carefully monitor moisture levels as the wood returns to its normal state. Our specialized drying mats can pull moisture from hardwood without causing additional damage. Some cupping or warping may occur initially but often resolves as the wood dries properly. We’ll assess your floors during our initial inspection and give you an honest evaluation of whether recovery is possible or if replacement makes more sense for your situation.
