What should I do first when I find water damage in my home?
Shut off the water at the main if the source is a burst pipe or a leaking appliance, and cut power to the wet area if you can do it safely. Move valuables and dry furniture out of the water, take photos for your insurance claim, and call (877) 659-0178. Do not walk into standing water where power may be live, and do not use a household vacuum on water.
How long does it take to dry out water damage?
It depends on the amount of water, the materials affected and the category of water involved. A small clean-water leak in one room can dry in a few days with professional equipment, while a flooded basement or a saturated crawl space takes longer. Drying is finished when moisture readings show the structure is dry, not when the surface looks dry.
Do you handle mold after water damage?
Yes. Mold follows water damage within days in Kelso's wet climate, especially in crawl spaces and basements. The moisture source is fixed first, then mold is contained, removed and the area dried. See the mold remediation page for the full process.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Washington?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or an appliance leak, but they usually exclude flooding from rivers and rising water, which needs separate flood insurance through the NFIP. Sewer backup is often a separate endorsement. Document the damage with photos and drying records, and call (877) 659-0178 for help with the cleanup side of a claim.
