44193 water damage FAQs
Do you serve the 44193 area?

What should I do when a storm flood hits my basement?
Power off first, identify the water source, photograph as found, then call for extraction. Never enter standing water near electrical equipment.
Is storm water contaminated?
Storm water that crosses soil, roads, or drains is contaminated — it carries bacteria, debris, and chemicals. Keep people and pets away and treat it professionally.
Does insurance cover storm flooding?
Wind damage to the structure is commonly covered; groundwater flooding and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements. Check your policy.
How fast should I respond after a storm?
Within the first 24 hours — storm water carries contamination, and damp materials can support mold within 48 hours. Early extraction is the biggest cost reducer.
