What homeowners need to know about water damage
Does insurance cover water damage?
Water damage is often covered by homeowner’s insurance. Many policies use the term “sudden and accidental” to describe the type of water damage that is covered. Our team will work side by side with you to make sure you receive what is due.
How can I prevent water damage?
Take steps to prevent water damage:
- Drain your water heater at least once a year.
- Inspect your roof for rotten shingles, and clean your gutters.
- Avoid frozen pipes by keeping your house above 50 degrees, and consider adding insulation.
- Inspect the hoses on appliances that use water, and replace as needed.
What happens when water damage is left untreated?
Left untreated, water damage can lead to serious consequences:
- Dangerous mold. Mold can spore in less than 24 hours and lead to serious health risks, including cancer and asthma.
- Fire hazards. Water seeping into unknown areas of your home can short-circuit the electrical system and create a fire hazard.
- Erosion. Water can quickly erode everything in its path, from your home’s foundation to the flooring and drywall.
- Loss of value. Mold, fire hazards, and material erosion can drastically decrease the value of your home.

"Quality work, dedicated team of employees. Great communication. Andrew did an outstanding job going above and beyond, checking everything out and returning the next day to see whether things were dry enough to remove the fans!"

"Thank you to Tyler and Ross for coming out so quickly today when we had a water leak and mildew build up. They were so professional and on top of what we needed to do for the restoration! I am thankful to Mark at Davis Plumbing for recommending Tyler! Would highly recommend them anytime!"
- Tama T. | Facebook 2021
"These guys have been an absolute Godsend! Not only do they know what they are doing and they got here quickly, but they were so helpful with other stuff. After a flood you need to move stuff around to get it out of harms way and just go sort through things. I'm 64 years old and there's lots of stuff I can't or shouldn't do anymore. They were so helpful with that kind of thing as well!"
- Susan O. | Yelp 2022
