Insurance
Working with your insurance
We document water damage with photos and a written repair scope, and we can meet your adjuster at the property. You stay in charge of your claim, and your insurance company decides what it covers. Sudden water damage, like a burst pipe, is often covered. Flooding usually is not: FEMA notes that most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. Check your policy, or call your agent, before work begins.

What should I do first when I find water damage?
If it is safe, stop the source of the water, such as a supply valve or the main water shutoff. Stay out of standing water near outlets or appliances. Take photos before anything is moved. Then call your insurance company and call us. The EPA recommends drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
What is the difference between water mitigation and water damage repair?
Mitigation stops the damage from spreading: stopping the source, removing water, and drying the structure. Repair rebuilds what was damaged, such as drywall, flooring, trim, and paint. Most water losses need both, in that order.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Ohio?
It depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden and accidental damage, such as a burst pipe, is often covered. Damage from a slow leak over time often is not. Flood damage is not covered by most homeowners policies, according to FEMA; it needs separate flood insurance. Water that backs up through a sewer or drain is often covered only if you added that coverage to your policy. Ask your agent what your policy includes.
Can water damage lead to mold growth?
Yes. The EPA says to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Call as soon as you find the damage.
How long does water damage restoration take?
It depends on how much is wet and what has to be rebuilt. Most projects take from a few days to a couple of weeks. We will give you a timeline after we see the damage.
