Our Proven 5-Step Water Damage Process

Isolate the Old Line That Failed

We shut the water at the main or at the fixture valve, if that old valve still closes. When a drain is backing up, we stop water use in the house until the line is cleared. Power to any wet area is cut before we walk in.

Find Where the Water Went Inside the Walls

A leak in an older home can run along a pipe chase, a chimney or an added-on wall before it shows. We follow it with moisture meters and a thermal camera and mark every wet wall, ceiling and floor for you and your adjuster.

Extract and Separate Clean Water From Drain Water

Truck-mounted extraction pulls the standing water. Water from a supply line is clean, so more of the room can be dried in place. Water that came back up a drain is treated as contaminated, and porous materials it soaked are removed.

Dry the Structure and Check It Every Day

Dehumidifiers and air movers run around the clock, sized to the rooms. We read the framing, subfloor and walls every day, tell you what changed, and pull the equipment only when the readings reach their dry targets.

Repair the Rooms and Document the Cause

We rebuild drywall, flooring, cabinets and trim, and we photograph the failed pipe or fitting before it is thrown away. That photo and the daily readings go in one file for your claim.

Water Damage Claims for Upper Arlington Homeowners

A pipe that suddenly bursts is the kind of loss a homeowners policy is written for, even when the pipe is old. We record the failed section and the damage room by room and bill your carrier directly for the mitigation.

Water that backs up through a floor drain or a toilet is usually covered only by a water backup endorsement. Check your declarations page for it, or send us a photo of the page and we will help you find the line.

Replacing the old pipe or clearing the sewer line itself is usually your cost; the claim pays for the damage the water caused. We tell you plainly which part is which before any repair starts.

Frequently Asked Questions — Water Damage in Upper Arlington

My house still has some galvanized pipe. Will one burst cause trouble with my insurer? +

A single sudden burst is normally handled as a covered loss. What we do is photograph the failed section and note what the rest of the visible piping is made of, so you and your adjuster have the facts. Many owners of older homes use the repair as the time to have a plumber replace the remaining old lines.

Why does water come up through my basement floor drain? +

In older neighborhoods the sewer lateral from the house to the street is often clay tile, and tree roots can work into its joints. When the line is partly blocked, water from your own fixtures or a heavy rain has nowhere to go but back up through the lowest drain. We clean up and dry the basement; a plumber with a camera can show you the state of the line.

Can you dry the wall without tearing out the whole room? +

Usually. We cut only where the meters show water, often a strip near the floor or a small panel around the leak, and dry the cavity with air moving through it. Walls that tested dry stay as they are.

We are in the middle of a remodel. Can you still work around the contractor? +

Yes. We dry the wet areas and leave a written record of what was wet and when it tested dry, so your contractor can close up the walls without guessing. If the remodel is what exposed the leak, that record also helps the claim.
