Which Service Fits Your Situation
Water damage jobs move through stages, and each stage has its own work. Stopping the damage, cleaning up, drying, rebuilding and dealing with mold are different jobs that often overlap on the same property. This page helps you tell them apart so you can call with the right words.
If water is actively spreading, skip the reading and call. Dispatch is answered 24 hours a day and will tell you what to do while a crew is arranged.
Flood Damage Restoration
For storm water, groundwater, sewage backups and whole-house flooding. Water in these cases is treated as contaminated. See flood damage restoration.
Water Damage Repair
For the rebuild after drying: drywall, ceilings, insulation, hardwood and paint. See water damage repair.
Water Mitigation
For the first 24 to 72 hours, when extraction and drying setup limit how far damage spreads. See water mitigation.
Water Damage Cleanup
For removing wet debris, handling contents and sanitizing after the source is stopped. See water damage cleanup.
Emergency Water Removal
For standing water that needs pumps and extraction units right now. See emergency water removal.
Mold Remediation
For mold that followed a leak, including containment, removal and clearance questions. See mold remediation.
A Simple Way to Choose
| What you see | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Water on the floor right now | Emergency water removal | Pumps and extraction units stop the spread first |
| Water came in from a storm, a drain or a sewer line | Flood damage restoration | Contaminated water changes what can be saved |
| Damp walls and floors, nothing standing | Water mitigation | Drying setup is what protects the structure |
| Soaked belongings and debris | Water damage cleanup | Wet materials come out and surfaces are sanitized |
| Dry but stained, bubbled or broken surfaces | Water damage repair | Rebuilds what the water damaged |
| Spots or a musty smell after a leak | Mold remediation | Moisture control and removal in containment |
How the Services Work Together
A typical burst pipe moves through three of these pages. Emergency removal pulls the standing water, mitigation dries the structure, and repair rebuilds what had to come out. A leak that sat unnoticed for weeks may start with mold remediation instead, because moisture control has to come before anything else.
