Act fast to immediately stop the water source if safe, and contact your insurance company to start the claims process. It’s also crucial to document the damage with photos for evidence.

Hidden water damage often manifests in subtle ways before becoming a major issue. You might notice discoloration or dark spots on ceilings and walls, a musty or moldy smell, or peeling paint and wallpaper. Another telltale sign is unexpectedly high water bills, which could indicate a leak. Regular inspections, especially after heavy rain or plumbing issues, can help catch hidden damage early.

Professionals use specialized equipment like dehumidifiers and fans to remove excess water and moisture from building materials.

Prioritize safety and evacuate if necessary. Do not touch or walk through the floodwater. Contact emergency services and your utility company to shut off electricity if needed and seek high ground until authorities say it’s safe.

Restoration involves:

  • Water extraction.
  • Drying.
  • Repairing damaged materials like hardwood floors.
  • Assessment of overall damage, and sanitizing to prevent mold growth.

However, the overall restoration, which includes repairs, replacing damaged items, and addressing potential mold issues, can extend the process to several weeks. It’s crucial to work with professionals who can provide a clear timeline based on your specific circumstances.

Whether your insurance covers water damage restoration largely depends on the cause of the damage and the specifics of your policy. Generally, sudden and accidental damages, like a burst pipe, are often covered. However, gradual damages, such as leaks that have been ignored over time, may not be.

DIY attempts might miss hidden moisture, leading to mold and structural damage. It is best to rely on professional water extraction and restoration services for safety and thoroughness.

Professionals use a combination of advanced technology and expertise to determine the extent of water damage. They employ moisture meters, infrared cameras, and hygrometers to detect hidden moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings. A thorough inspection will also involve checking behind appliances, inside cabinets, and other potential hidden areas. Properly assessing the damage is crucial not only for effective restoration but also to prevent future complications like mold growth.
