When do I pay my deductible?

The deductible is your responsibility and should always be paid before restoration services begin.

Do I need an estimate before you start the dry-out process?

Before any repairs are made, we reach an agreed estimate with your insurance company or an authorization to begin repairs. After an adjuster is assigned to your claim, we explain our progress up to that point and receive authorization if further steps are needed.

How long will my property take to dry?

The time to completely dry a structure depends on temperature, humidity, saturation, material, and other variables. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, we can determine when drying is complete. On average, a typical home water damage situation will dry out in about three days.

Can I turn off the equipment at night?

It is important to keep our equipment running 24/7. The equipment is strategically placed to encourage optimal drying, and turning it off will only increase drying time, microbial growth, and secondary damage.

Should I be worried about mold?

Mold growth depends on how long the damage was left untreated. If a water leak is tended to quickly by a restoration professional, mold is generally not an issue. Mold can be avoided through careful inspection and anti-microbial treatment.

How will I know when my property is dry?

Proper testing with our specialized equipment is the best way to determine if everything is dry. Remember, just because something looks and feels dry doesn’t mean it is completely dry!
