Frequently Asked
What should I do before a technician arrives?
Stay away from standing water near electrical outlets or panels, shut off the water source if it is safe to do so, and move dry belongings out of the affected rooms.
Is the whole floor always removed?
No. Removal depends on the material, how long it stayed wet and the water category. Many assemblies can be dried in place when addressed early.
