Every water damage restoration service, one phone number
Water in a Columbus house usually arrives one of four ways: a basement filling after heavy rain, a sewer backup through a floor drain, a supply line that split, or a pipe that froze and let go when it thawed. Each leaves a different kind of wet material behind. Start with safety. Shut the water off at the main if you can reach it, and stay out of standing water near outlets, the furnace or the electrical panel. Treat sewage as contaminated and keep children and pets out of it. If you are unsure whether the power is safe, leave it off until an electrician confirms.
The work comes in two stages. First the water is extracted, then the space is dried. A technician checks for hidden moisture with moisture meters and thermal imaging, sets air movers and dehumidifiers, and re-checks readings until the materials are dry. Drying quickly limits mold. Repairs to drywall, trim and flooring come after drying and are quoted separately, once someone has seen the wet area. The emergency stage is explained and approved before work starts, and the price is confirmed on site before any work begins. Our cost guide explains what moves a quote.
Pipe repair, water heater replacement, sewer lateral work, roof replacement and sump pump installation are outside this service. A licensed plumber handles the pipe or the heater, and the crew cleans up and dries around that work. For a broader overview, see water damage restoration.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair pipes or replace water heaters?
No. The crew stops the water where it can, dries the space and cleans up. Fixing a broken pipe, replacing a water heater or repairing a sewer lateral needs a licensed plumber. Plumbing work is licensed in Ohio. The state board licenses commercial plumbing contractors, and city building departments handle residential registration. Ask any company which license it holds and check it with the issuing office.
How soon can a crew arrive?
Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. An arrival time cannot be promised over the phone, because it depends on where the crews are at that moment and how far they have to travel.
Will my insurance pay for the cleanup?
Coverage is decided by your insurer under your own policy. A standard homeowners policy generally responds to sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst supply line. It generally does not cover flood or sewer and drain backup unless that coverage has been added. Take photos before anything is moved and call your insurer early. The crew can document the damage and give you moisture readings for your claim. Ask your agent to explain your policy.
Do you remove mold?
Mold inspection and remediation are offered where mold has already grown. Ohio does not license mold remediation the way some states do, so ask any company which industry standard it follows, such as ANSI/IICRC S520, and what it will check before and after the work. Mold can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms in some people, so keep people with those conditions away from the affected room until it is addressed.
