Water Damage Service Area — New Albany, OH

Our Proven 5-Step Water Damage Process

Stop the Leak and Protect the Finishes

We shut off the water and lift or move rugs, furniture and anything stored on the wet floor. Floors and stairs on the path in and out are covered before any equipment comes through.

Measure Under Floors and Behind Built-Ins

Water runs under hardwood, beneath cabinets and into the toe kicks of built-ins. We read moisture there with meters and a thermal camera so the scope covers what you cannot see, and we show you the readings room by room before we recommend removing anything.

Extract and Dry Cabinets in Place

Standing water is extracted first. Instead of pulling cabinetry, we often remove the toe kick and dry the cavity behind it; wet pad and insulation come out.

Control the Drying for Wood and Stone

Hardwood, millwork and stone tile react badly to fast, uneven drying. We set dehumidifiers and air movers for a controlled pace and record every reading until each material is dry.

Rebuild to the Original Finish

We repair drywall, flooring, trim and paint, matching the original finish as closely as the materials allow, and give you and your adjuster the full photo and moisture record.

Ask your agent how your policy treats a break in the water service line outside the house. We document the damage inside your home either way, and we explain each line of the scope to you before it goes to the carrier.

Frequently Asked Questions — Water Damage in New Albany

Who fixes a leak in the water line between the street and my house? +

In New Albany the city owns the water mains, but the service line from the curb to your home is the homeowner's responsibility. The city asks residents to call its Public Service team first, so it can check its side before you hire a plumber. We take care of the water damage inside the house.

Do my custom cabinets have to come out after a leak? +

Usually not. We remove the toe kick, check the cabinet base and the wall behind it with a meter, and blow dry air into the cavity. Cabinets come out only when the base has swollen or the readings will not come down.

Can I stay in the house while the drying equipment runs? +

Usually, yes. The equipment runs in the affected rooms and we keep walkways clear. If sewage is involved or the kitchen is out of use, we tell you up front so you can plan.

How long before my lower level is usable again? +

Drying usually takes several days with the equipment running around the clock, and wood and stone can take longer because we dry them slowly on purpose. Once the readings are dry and your adjuster approves the scope, we give you a rebuild schedule you can plan around, and you hear from us every day until then.
