Water damage is the most common — and most expensive — home insurance claim in the U.S. The clock starts the moment water hits the floor: drywall, wood, and carpet start absorbing within minutes, and mold can begin growing in 24 to 48 hours. Fast, professional water extraction and drying is the single biggest factor in how much your repair will cost.
The #1 cause of cold-weather water damage. A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can release 250 gallons of water per day.
Washing machine hoses, dishwasher supply lines, refrigerator ice-makers, and water heaters are the top culprits — most fail without warning.
Wind-driven rain, ice dams, and hail damage push water into attics and ceilings, often unnoticed until staining appears.
Heavy rain, snowmelt, sewer backups, and sump-pump failures are the main sources — and basements are where mold takes hold fastest.
Pinhole leaks in copper, failed pex fittings, and shower-pan failures can soak framing for months before anyone notices.
A pro arrives, stops the source of water if it's still running, and assesses the affected area.
Industrial vacuums and pumps remove standing water — usually within the first few hours on site.
Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers run for 3–5 days to pull moisture out of framing, drywall, and subfloor. Moisture meters confirm dry-down.
Antimicrobial treatment is applied to any surface that was wet for more than 24 hours.
Damaged drywall, flooring, baseboards, and cabinets are repaired or replaced. Most pros work directly with your insurance.
