Water Damage Service Area — Westerville, OH

Our Proven 5-Step Water Damage Process

Shut Off the Water and Protect the Rooms Below

We close the valve feeding the leak, or show you where yours is, and check whether water is still moving through the ceiling. Your furniture and rugs in the rooms below are moved or lifted off the wet floor.

Follow the Water Through Floors and Ceilings

Water from an upstairs leak runs along the joists and shows up far from where it started. We trace it with meters and a thermal camera and mark every wet ceiling, wall and floor.

Extract, Then Open Only What Has to Be Opened

We pull water out of carpet and off hardwood first. A ceiling holding water is opened at its low point, and wet insulation comes out so the cavity above can dry.

Dry Plaster, Hardwood and Framing Evenly

Older plaster walls and solid hardwood floors crack or cup when they are dried too hard. We set the equipment to bring them down evenly and check the readings every day.

Repair and Match the House You Had

We repair plaster or drywall, refinish or replace flooring and repaint, matching existing trim and finishes as closely as the materials allow. You and your adjuster get the photos and readings in one record.

Frequently Asked Questions — Water Damage in Westerville

Can water-damaged plaster walls be saved? +

Often, yes. Plaster on wood lath handles water better than drywall when it is dried slowly. We check whether the plaster is still holding to the lath; if it is sound, we dry it and repair the surface instead of tearing it out.

My hardwood floor is cupping. Will it flatten out? +

Cupping means the underside of the boards is wetter than the top. When the floor and the subfloor are dried evenly, many floors settle enough to sand and refinish. We take readings before deciding, because sanding too early leaves the boards crowned once they finish drying.

Why does my basement near Alum Creek take water after long rains? +

Homes on the low ground along Alum Creek sit where the water table rises after days of rain, and saturated soil pushes water through floor joints and wall cracks. That is groundwater, not a plumbing leak. We dry and treat the basement; a drainage or waterproofing contractor can deal with the cause.

Do you work in Uptown and the rest of Westerville? +

Yes. Our crews come up from Columbus to Uptown and every other part of Westerville, day or night, weekends and holidays included.

What should I do while I wait for your crew? +

Turn off the water at the main if you can reach it, and stay out of rooms where water is near outlets or light fixtures. Move what you can off wet floors and put a bucket under any drip. If your ceiling is bulging, do not poke it yourself; we drain it safely when we arrive.
