Water Damage
Burst pipe, leak, flood, appliance failure.
Crews dispatch 24/7 with truck-mounted extraction and commercial dehumidification. Most active water losses start mitigation within 1–2 hours of the call across our core service region.

24/7
Do these, in order.
These are the steps we tell people in the first 5 minutes of a call. Safety first, then documentation, then the phone.
- Step 1
Shut off the main water supply at the meter or curb stop if you can do so safely.
- Step 2
Cut electrical power to any rooms with standing water before entering.
- Step 3
Move contents and furniture up off the floor — even a few inches matters.
- Step 4
Photograph everything wide and close before any cleanup starts.
- Step 5
Call us before you call insurance. Mitigation starts on our call; the adjuster gets assigned in parallel.
Scenario-specific guides for water damage.
For more specific situations, we have city-by-city scenario pages with detailed cause analysis.
- Basement flooding during heavy rainStorm-driven basement water intrusion is one of the most common emergency calls we run in our service region.
- Sump pump failure during a rain eventSump pumps fail at the worst possible time — during the rain events they were installed to handle.
- Hot water heater rupture (end-of-life failure)A 50-gallon tank failing through the floor is one of the most common water losses we see — and one of the most predictable.
- Frozen pipe burst during a winter cold snapPipes most commonly burst on the thaw, not the freeze — and the damage runs hidden for hours before discovery.
Water Damage Mitigation
Burst pipes, appliance failures, roof leaks, and flood events demand fast mitigation. We extract standing water, set commercial drying equipment, and produce moisture-mapped documentation insurance carriers expect.
