Protect Your Home from Water Damage

Any form of water damage can be devastating. Prolonged and undetected water damage can slowly destroy your home and compromise not only your possessions but also your family’s safety. As time passes, the damages to your home continue to grow, making it crucial to have a company that can assess the situation promptly and handle any emergency the right way.

At EMS Restoration, we specialize in all aspects of water damage and flood cleanup. Our state-of-the-art imaging equipment, environmental testing, and expert technicians are equipped to diagnose and address any issue you are experiencing or suspecting. Standing water or unknown leaks can lead to a variety of concerns, including structural damage and mold growth, both of which pose significant health risks to you and your family. We are fully prepared to handle, diagnose, and repair all forms of water damage.

Immediate Steps to Take After Water Loss

In the unfortunate event of a water loss, it’s essential to act quickly. Here are immediate steps you should take to minimize damage:

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
If you discover a flood in your home, the first action is to turn off the water supply. If you cannot access the shut-off valve inside your home, head to the street to turn it off at the main supply.

Step 2: Call a Restoration Professional
Contact a restoration professional immediately to dispatch a crew for drying out your property. The sooner the dryout process begins, the more damage you can prevent from water spreading and wicking up walls.

Step 3: Document the Damage
Before the mitigation team arrives, take comprehensive photos and videos of the damage throughout your home. Capture every room, all surfaces, and inside cabinets. This documentation is crucial for your insurance claims and will help you remember your home’s condition before the flood.

Step 4: Sign Emergency Work Authorization
Be prepared to sign the emergency work authorization with the mitigation company so they can begin work promptly. This step is vital to ensure a swift response to mitigate further damage.

Step 5: Seek Insurance Claim Advice
Consult with the mitigation professionals regarding filing an insurance claim. It’s best to start this process within 48 hours, and their expertise can help ensure that your claim is processed smoothly.

Duration of the Water Damage Restoration Process

The duration of the water damage restoration process can vary significantly based on the extent of the damage and whether insurance is involved.

Small Loss: For a standard small loss, such as damage confined to one room or less, the drying process typically lasts 2 to 3 days, with repairs completed the following week.
Large Loss: In contrast, a standard large loss—such as multiple rooms with standing water or damage that was discovered hours after it began—can take 2 to 4 months in total. Drying for these larger projects usually takes between 4 to 12 days, followed by repairs that can span 2 to 6 weeks.

If insurance is involved, please be aware that delays can occur due to the approval process. This can add an additional month to the timeline, as insurers often respond infrequently or dispute payment for damaged items.

Having successfully managed over 1,000 water damage projects and insurance claims, we at EMS Restoration understand how to expedite the process. For urgent situations, we offer a rush service to ensure timely resolution.
