Emergency Questions, Answered
Active flooding, burst pipes, sewage backups, and storm damage with water still entering all count — call immediately. Slow drips and old stains can usually wait for business hours, but when in doubt, call (800) 110-0003. A local pro typically arrives in 30–45 minutes and will tell you honestly if it's urgent.
Call 911 first if there's any danger: sparking wires, gas smell, rising water you can't escape, or structural collapse. Once you're safe, call (800) 110-0003 for the water damage itself. Never re-enter an unsafe building to save belongings.
Stay out of standing water near electricity. If safe, shut off the water main for plumbing leaks and the breaker for wet areas. Move valuables to high ground and take photos for insurance. Then call — fast extraction in the first hours prevents most of the lasting damage.
Yes — treat it as the highest priority after life safety. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses; don't touch it, keep children and pets away, and don't use household vacuums or fans on it. Call immediately so a pro with protective gear and disinfectants handles it.
Yes. Calls are answered 24/7 — nights, weekends, and holidays. A local pro typically arrives in 30–45 minutes once you're connected, no matter the hour. Water damage doesn't keep business hours, so neither does the referral line.
They assess the water source and category, extract standing water, and set professional drying equipment with a monitoring plan. You'll get immediate steps for the first hour on the phone, then a clear explanation of the work and pricing before anything begins.
Often, for sudden events like burst pipes and storm damage — but not for gradual leaks or flooding without flood insurance. Take photos before anything moves, keep every receipt, and ask the provider for moisture reports and invoices your adjuster will want.
Leave if you smell gas, see sparks, hear cracking, or water is near the electrical panel. Sewage contamination also means staying elsewhere until cleanup is done. When uncertain, leave and call 911 — belongings are replaceable, you aren't.
