06 · Common questions
Questions before the first cleanup quote
Do I need to know the cause before calling?
No. Describe what you see, and explain whether a plumber has stopped the leak. A professional assessment can help establish the cleanup needs.
What happens after the water is removed?
Wet building materials may still need moisture assessment and controlled drying. The actual work depends on the materials, moisture readings and site conditions.
Will insurance pay for the work?
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, exclusions and circumstances. Document the damage and contact the insurer; do not assume approval.
