What's included
What our water leak restoration includes
Every water leak restoration job is different, but most include the same core steps. Here's what's covered in a standard scope, and what we handle as an add-on if needed.
✓
Leak detection and inspection
We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to find the leak source and map the wet zone. If it's a slab leak, we use acoustic listening equipment. You get a clear report of what we found.
✓
Water extraction
We remove standing water with truck-mounted and portable extraction units. This includes water in carpet, padding, hardwood, and concrete. We also use absorbent pads for tight spaces.
✓
Structural drying
We place dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure. We monitor moisture daily and adjust equipment until your home hits the dry standard. Most dry-outs take 3-5 days.
✓
Antimicrobial application
We apply antimicrobial solution to affected framing, drywall, and subfloor to prevent mold growth. This is standard on every water leak restoration job, not an upsell.
✓
Insurance documentation
We document moisture readings, photos, and daily drying logs in Xactimate format. You get a complete package to submit to your insurance carrier.
How it works
What to expect during water leak restoration
01
Emergency call
You call (833) 321-7153 and describe what's happening. We ask a few questions to gauge severity, then dispatch the nearest crew. You get a text with the technician's name and estimated arrival time. No phone tree, no waiting on hold.
02
Inspection and leak detection
We walk the property with a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and hygrometer to find the leak source and map the wet zone. If it's a slab leak, we use acoustic equipment to listen for the break. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what it will take to fix it.
03
Water extraction
Standing water comes out first. We use truck-mounted and portable water extraction units to pull water from carpet, padding, and hard floors. For deeper saturation, we may need to remove baseboard and drill small holes in drywall to let trapped water drain.
04
Structural drying
We place dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure. Desiccant dehumidifiers handle tight spaces like crawl spaces. We monitor moisture readings daily and adjust equipment until your home hits the dry standard. Most dry-outs take 3-5 days.
05
Final inspection and repair
Once readings confirm the structure is dry, we remove equipment and walk you through the results. If repairs are needed, we handle drywall, paint, and flooring. You get a final moisture report and documentation for your insurance claim.
