Emergency solutions we provide

Safety first

  • If a ceiling is sagging or bulging, keep people clear and do not poke it.
  • Do not step into standing water where electrical hazards may exist.
  • If sewage is present, avoid the area and keep HVAC off in that zone.
  • Shut off water at the fixture or main only if it’s safe to do so.

When in doubt, call us and we’ll advise you while en route.

Knowledge base: quick guides

Find your main water shut-off

  1. Look at the curb/sidewalk box or where the line enters the building.
  2. Turn the valve clockwise (older homes) or pull the lever perpendicular to the pipe.
  3. If indoors, check the water heater area or utility closet.

If you can’t find it safely, we’ll help by phone.

What to photograph for insurance

  • Overall room photos + close-ups of damage
  • Source area (if visible) and shut-off valve
  • Under sinks, behind appliances, baseboards
  • Any pre-existing issues you notice

Protect floors & contents (fast)

  • Move rugs and boxes off wet areas
  • Use foil or plastic under furniture legs
  • Open cabinet doors to reduce trapped moisture
  • Avoid running HVAC through a sewage zone

Equipment & expectations during drying

What to expect

  • Equipment runs continuously; some noise & warmth is normal.
  • Doors may be left ajar for airflow; please keep pets/kids clear.
  • Technicians record daily readings until dry goals are met.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t perform plumbing/roof repairs (we coordinate licensed pros).
  • We don’t promise coverage decisions; the carrier decides. We document thoroughly.
  • We don’t demolish unless materials are non-salvageable or moisture is trapped.

Insurance in an emergency

  • We document cause notes, take photos, log daily psychrometrics, and share clear scope notes.
  • We brief your adjuster; coverage depends on cause & policy terms (deductibles may apply).
  • We coordinate with licensed plumbers/roofers for source repairs when needed.

Common emergency causes

  • Broken or leaking supply lines (toilets, sinks, refrigerators)
  • Dishwasher & washing machine overflows or failures
  • Water heater failures; AC condensate drain issues
  • Toilet backups or wax-ring failures
  • Leaking roofs/windows during wind-driven rain
  • Slab/foundation leaks; crawl space water & vapor drive

Emergency FAQs

What should I do before you arrive?

Shut off water if safe, avoid switches under wet ceilings, move valuables off floors, and keep kids/pets away from affected areas.

Do you work nights and holidays?

Yes. We dispatch 24/7 for emergencies. Call for an ETA and pre-arrival guidance.

Will you bill my insurance directly?

We provide detailed documentation and can coordinate with your adjuster. Billing arrangements vary by carrier; we’ll review options with you.

Do you perform mold testing?

We perform visual & moisture inspections. For sampling, lab analysis, or post-remediation clearance, we coordinate independent third-party IEPs.

How long to dry?

Most residential losses dry in 2–5 days depending on materials and conditions. We verify progress with daily readings and adjust equipment as needed.

Do you repair the pipe or roof?

We focus on mitigation/remediation and can coordinate licensed plumbers or roofers. Then we complete drying and documentation.
