Water Damage Cleanup FAQs
What's the difference between water damage cleanup and restoration?
Cleanup is the immediate response — extraction, removal of damaged materials, sanitizing. Restoration is the rebuild phase. We handle both.
How do I know what got damaged?
We perform a thorough moisture assessment using meters and thermal imaging to identify all affected materials, including those hidden inside walls and under flooring.
Is water damage cleanup covered by insurance?
Sudden water damage from events like burst pipes and appliance failures is typically covered. We work directly with your insurance carrier and provide complete documentation.
