Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does water damage need to be addressed?
Mitigation must begin within 24 to 48 hours. Beyond 48 hours, clean Category 1 water deteriorates into hazardous Category 2 or 3 black water, and toxic mold spores begin colonizing drywall.
Will my insurance cover emergency water damage?
Sudden and accidental internal plumbing breaks (like frozen burst pipes or ruptured water heater lines) are almost always covered under standard homeowners insurance. Gradual neglected leaks or outside overland flooding require specific policy endorsements.
