Water Damage Guides

What we would tell a neighbor standing in a wet basement.

Water damage is one of the few home problems where the first few hours change the size of the bill. Most people meet it once, in the middle of a bad morning, with no idea which decisions matter and which ones can wait. These guides are the answers we end up giving on the phone anyway, written down so you can read them before you need them.

None of it is a substitute for someone standing in the room with a moisture meter. It is meant to make you a better-informed customer: what to shut off, what to photograph, what your policy will probably ask, and what a real dry-out actually involves once the water is gone.
