Severe Weather and Heavy Rainfall

Driving rain can push water past roofs, windows and foundations and flood rooms inside.

Appliance Malfunctions and Failures

Water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers leak or overflow when hoses wear out or parts fail.

Sewer Line Backups or Blockages

Tree roots, debris or an overloaded city sewer can push contaminated water back up into the house.

Drywall, insulation and carpet hold more water than concrete or tile, so they take longer to dry or need replacing.

Content Restoration Needs

Cleaning and drying furniture, belongings and documents is billed separately from the structure.
