Emergency FAQ
Common urgent questions
What counts as a restoration emergency?
Active leaks, flooding, a sewage backup, or spreading water into walls and flooring are time-sensitive. The faster water is extracted and drying begins, the more secondary damage and mold risk can be reduced.
What should I do while I wait?
If it is safe, stop the water source and shut off power to affected areas. Move valuables out of the water, avoid contaminated water, and take photos. Do not use household fans in a sewage situation.
Are you available outside office hours?
Office hours are Mon–Sun, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, with emergency phone hours from 6:00 PM–12:00 AM. On-site availability outside standard hours should be confirmed by phone.
How fast can drying start?
Once we assess the affected area and category of water, extraction and drying equipment can be placed the same visit when the situation allows. Readings then guide how long drying continues.
