- Flash floods and storm runoff

- HVAC or appliance leaks
- Foundation cracks and sump pump failure
Each scenario brings unique challenges—our team is trained and equipped to handle them all.

Acting early can save you thousands in repairs. Watch for these red flags:

đź“‹ Water Damage Categories Explained
Understanding the Different Categories of Water Damage
Not all water damage is the same. The level of contamination impacts safety, cleanup needs, and insurance. Learn about:
- Category 1: Clean water from supply lines
- Category 2: Gray water with contaminants
- Category 3: Black water (sewage, floodwater)
Our team is certified to identify and safely manage all three.
🧾 Will Insurance Cover It?
In many cases, yes —especially for sudden, accidental water damage like a burst pipe. We work directly with your insurance provider to document the damage, submit claims, and make the process as stress-free as possible.
Pro tip: Flood damage usually requires a separate policy.
