In the event of water damage, prioritize safety for yourself, your family, or employees. Avoid areas with standing water or electrical hazards. If necessary, shut off the main water supply and electricity. Contact a plumber to address any necessary repairs. Then, reach out to a professional water damage restoration company like Clean Green Restoration for a prompt inspection. We'll assess the damage and initiate the restoration process.

Many homeowners insurance policies include coverage for water damage restoration, but the extent of coverage can vary based on specific policy terms and conditions. Some policies may have limitations or exclusions for certain types of damage or expenses.

During the drying process, we employ advanced tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to accurately measure moisture content in materials and air humidity levels. We ensure all materials reach industry-standard dryness before removing our drying equipment. Throughout this process, we conduct regular monitoring visits to document progress and adjust equipment as needed.

The duration of the restoration process varies based on the extent of damage. A minor water loss might be resolved within a week, while more complex cases could require up to two weeks for mitigation. The complete restoration, including repairs to return the property to its pre-loss condition, may take several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the damage. Clean Green Restoration will provide a detailed timeline to help you understand the process ahead.
