Common questions
Straight answers before you pick up the phone.
How fast should I act after discovering water damage?
Immediately. Water wicks into drywall, plaster, and flooring within hours, and mold can begin colonizing wet materials within 24–48 hours. Extraction started on day one is the single biggest factor in limiting both damage and cost.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. Crews document the loss with photos, moisture readings, and drying logs that your adjuster needs, and you receive copies of everything. You have the right under Pennsylvania law to choose your own restoration contractor.
Is water from my basement floor drain dangerous?
Treat it as contaminated. Much of Philadelphia runs on a combined sewer, so floor-drain backups can contain sewage even when the water looks clean. Keep people and pets out and let a crew with protective equipment handle it.
Will my homeowner policy cover the damage?
Sudden events like burst pipes and appliance failures are usually covered. Rising river or storm water requires a separate flood policy, and sewer backup requires a specific endorsement. Our blog explains Pennsylvania coverage in plain English.
