Types of Water Damage Situations We Handle
We take care of just about every kind of water damage, including:
Our 7-Step Water Damage Cleanup Process
1. Inspection
First, we inspect your entire property. We figure out where the water damage is coming from, what can be saved, and what needs to happen next.
2. Custom Plan
Every situation is different. We’ll explain what we found, answer your questions, and walk you through the restoration plan step by step.
3. Water Removal
Using powerful pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water.
4. Disposal of Unsalvageable Items
If water ruined your carpet, drywall, or ceiling, we’ll carefully remove it and handle the disposal safely.
5. Drying
We bring in professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the area completely, helping prevent mold and structural damage.
6. Cleaning
We thoroughly clean and disinfect all affected surfaces, removing dirt, debris, and harmful contaminants. This step helps prevent mold, odors, and bacterial growth.
7. Restoration
We repair or replace damaged drywall, flooring, and other structural elements to fully restore your space.
Our goal is to return your property to its original condition—safe, functional, and comfortable.

Don’t:

FAQs
How do I know if I have hidden water damage?
Sometimes the signs are subtle—musty smells, peeling paint, warped flooring, or a sudden spike in your water bill.
If you suspect a hidden leak, give us a call. We can inspect and confirm it.
Will my insurance cover the water damage?
In most cases, yes—especially if it’s from something like a burst pipe or appliance failure.
Floodwater from outside might need a separate flood policy. We’ll help you figure it out and even assist with your claim.
How long does restoration take?
It depends on how extensive the damage is, but most jobs take a few days to a week. We move fast, and we’ll keep you updated the entire time.
