Water Damage Repair FAQs
What should I do first if I discover water damage in my home or business?
If you discover water damage, safety comes first. Make sure it’s safe to be in the area, and then shut off the water source if possible. Call a professional mitigation company to handle the drying process. Once mitigation is complete, that’s where Flood Rewind steps in to restore and repair your property.
Does Flood Rewind provide emergency water removal or drying services?
No. We focus on post-mitigation repair and reconstruction. You’ll need a mitigation specialist for drying out the property first, and then we handle everything needed to return it to its original condition.
How quickly should water damage repairs start?
Water damage can worsen over time, leading to mold growth and structural issues. Repairs should start as soon as possible after mitigation is complete to reduce damage and restore your property quickly.
What are common causes of water damage that Flood Rewind repairs?
The most common causes of water damage we repair include:
- Leaking or burst pipes
- Appliance leaks (dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters)
- Roof leaks and damaged flashing
- Sink or bathtub overflows
- Sewer backups or drainage failures
Does Flood Rewind work with insurance companies for water damage repairs?
Yes! Most of our repair work is covered by insurance, and we have extensive experience working with insurance adjusters to ensure you get the repairs you need.
How long does the repair process take?
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the job. Typically, once the drying phase is complete, most repairs can be finished within a few days to several weeks. We’ll work with you and your insurance company to create a detailed project plan.
