Water heater leaks look minor until they're not. Water travels fast — under floors, into walls, behind drywall. We extract, dry, and document for your insurance claim the same day you call.
The puddle on your utility room floor is the smallest part of the problem. Here's what's happening inside your walls and floors right now.
Water wicks into plywood or OSB subfloor within minutes. Once saturated, it warps, delaminates, and begins rotting — often while the surface flooring looks fine.
Water travels along baseboards and seeps behind drywall. Moisture meters routinely show readings 3–4 feet from the visible leak area. That's where mold starts.
If wet materials aren't dried to industry standards fast, mold begins growing. A water damage job handled wrong becomes a mold remediation job later — at significantly higher cost.
Insurance adjusters need moisture readings, photos, and scope of loss from the date of the event. Missing this window means fighting for coverage later instead of getting it approved now.
