Our Flood Water Removal Experts Are Ready To Provide Water Damage Restoration Emergency Service

Water can cause significant damage to homes and properties, even in small amounts—which is why you need PuroClean as your professional water damage restoration experts. Water infiltration can lead to extensive structural damage and mold growth. Mold exposure often causes respiratory problems and exacerbates existing respiratory conditions. Thus, water damage increases the risk of being exposed to mold in your home or business and should not be ignored.

That’s where a professional water damage restoration company comes in. Water damage restoration is the process of water removal to restore properties that have been affected by any type of water damage, such as flood damage, broken pipes, or water leaks. Mold remediation or mold removal is often a crucial part of the water damage restoration process as well.

A quick response is an important part of any successful water damage cleanup. Water damage restoration begins with proper water removal, as this is imperative to dry your property quickly. When water sits in place, the risk of microbial growth and damage to the property’s contents increases drastically.

” I discovered water damage in my home late on a Saturday night. I was stressed and overwhelmed, but PuroClean showed up quickly that night after I called. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered quickly and knowledgeably. They also worked directly with my insurance company, which made that complicated process smooth and stress-free. On top of that, they went above and beyond by helping me track down a flooring replacement that matched perfectly (we weren’t finding many options on our own).

DAVID COOKMAN – Hillsboro, OR

“Recently, one of our condo rental units sustained water damage due to a leak from the upstairs unit. Not knowing who to call, we took a chance on a referral from a family friend who is a contractor—and choosing PuroClean turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Nick and his team responded quickly, were highly professional, and efficiently resolved the issue with minimal disruption to our tenants. Throughout the process, they demonstrated clear communication, respect for the property, and a strong attention to detail. Once the work was completed, PuroClean provided a comprehensive report outlining the damage discovered, the mitigation steps taken, and a detailed drying report. These documents were invaluable and allowed us to present a clear and professional case to the upstairs unit owner for reimbursement of the damages and mitigation costs. Thanks again to Nick and the entire PuroClean team for your outstanding service and support in resolving this situation quickly and effectively. We hope we won’t need your services again anytime soon—but if we do, we definitely know who to call.”

MIKE M – Ann Arbor, MI

“I have used PuroClean twice now! My first time was when a storm damaged my roof and I had water leaking in. They were able to help me with the entire insurance process of having to have my roof replaced. They also made sure to do extensive preventative measures to ensure mold did not try to creep in. The second time I had a hot water heater bust. You cannot even tell there was a repair.”

Water Damage Frequently Asked Questions

Water damage can cause structural weakening, lead to mold growth, and pose respiratory health risks. PuroClean’s professional water damage restoration services ensure that moisture is removed, structures are dried, and mold is more likely prevented.


First, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet in your home. Then, contact your insurance company to start the claim process. If safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off, and avoid contaminants.

Water from outside the structure is contaminated and should be handled be professionals such as PuroClean. Even if the water was not from outside if it is there for an extended time then many materials will need to be removed because of the increased contamination from long-standing water. Drywall will soften and may fall, especially from ceilings. Carpet, pad and other floor coverings may need to be removed. Every situation is different! For the best, specific advice, please call your local PuroClean as soon as the damage is discovered.

The first thing professionals do is remove damaged materials that will either be restored or discarded. Materials include baseboards, insulation, furniture, carpeting, upholstery, carpet padding, fragile woods, drywall, and more. After the damaged items are removed, the technicians begin drying out the water and disinfecting the areas. Specialized tools like air movers and dehumidifiers are typically involved in the drying process. Professionals will also handle mold damage in the restoration process. Mold-infected surfaces will be disinfected and restored as quickly as possible to prevent it from spreading.

Check the surface of the wall for water stains, peeling paint, or warping. Push on the wall lightly – if it’s soft and spongy, that’s an indication of moisture damage. Then, take the smell test. If the wall smells musty, like rotted leaves, it is a telltale sign of water damage.

You can check the walls and ceilings for water stains, the floors for warping and buckling, and the pipes for corrosion, leaks, missing grout, and mold. Attics and basements may have damaged flooring, mildew or mold, dampness, and odors. Also, be sure to inspect the exterior of the home for cracked roof tiles, puddles, standing water, and whether the ground is sloping away from the house.


Homeowner’s insurance provides coverage for damage that is sudden and accidental (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, no matter the source of the water, is NOT covered by standard homeowner’s policies.

Most Common Reason for Water Damage in Your Property

Water damage may strike your property due to natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and other phenomena. Strong winds and heavy rains can cause harm to your roof, causing rainwater to drain directly into your home or company. Worse, severe weather can sometimes result in flash flooding, particularly if your property is located in a flood-prone zone. Read our guide for what to know about flood damage, tips related to flood insurance, and how to save your home after a major flood.

You would be surprised to know that at times, people living in multiple-story units forget to turn the water off as they are preparing a bath, and it overflows; other times, washing machines fail, overflowing. These events cause flooding on the floors where these units are installed, and at times, they end up leaking to the units below. These events cause flooding inside walls and floors—damaging drywall, ceilings, and more, requiring urgent water damage repair services. A water restoration company that really understands the drying process is needed to prevent further damage.

The pipes on your property carry clean water throughout, so a burst pipe, a leak, or a puncture can lead to significant damage, even if the water is considered clean. A leaking kitchen sink pipe might allow enough water to flow into the cabinet below it, potentially causing damage. A leaking pipe inside the walls may make things worse. A leak like this can cause significant water damage and the formation of a mold colony because the entire wall is wet. Worse yet, if there is a leak in your plumbing supply line or drainage pipe in the soil beneath a concrete slab, you’ll be out of luck.

Linking Arrow Learn More About Detecting Pipe Leaks

Frozen pipes are a common issue in the colder months. As the temperatures get lower, the water in pipes that are not well insulated can freeze, causing a burst pipe and flood damage. Water expands when it freezes, which damages the water lines, creating leaky pipes or even causing pipes to burst, flooding your property.

Linking Arrow Read Our Tips on How to Prevent Pipes From Freezing

Many people wouldn’t think of it, but a common side-effect of fire is dealing with heavy water damage. First responders and emergency sprinkler systems douse the entirety of the property with considerable amounts of water in an effort to stop the fire. We have also seen many events where people who are looking for a place to hang their clothes use the pipes for the sprinkler system, which triggers the sprinklers, flooding their property.

Hair, grease accumulation, toiletries, dirt, and other foreign objects can obstruct the drainpipe and prevent regular drainage. When clogged drains are not addressed promptly, they may easily back up and cause flooding, sewage backup, and extensive damage to your home’s interior due to a water leak. An inefficient, obstructed, damaged, or failing sump pump will leave your basement dealing with large quantities of water that cannot be drained. Being unable to extract the water can lead to costly flood damage.

Linking Arrow Here Are Some Tips to Help Maintain Your Sump Pump

The physical integrity of your roof is vital to maintaining conditions on the inside of your home. Over time, natural wear and tear will cause roofs to weaken and leaks to form. When the roof is breached, precipitation will enter your home and begin to cause damage in its wake. If the water damage is not addressed within 24-48 hours after the intrusion, the standing water and buildup of humidity may lead to mold growth.

Linking Arrow Find Out What Actions You Should Take if You Discover a Leak in Your Roof

Ice dams form on roofs during a cycle of snow precipitation, which causes melting followed by refreezing. This is caused by the heat of the attic rising upwards and causing the frozen snow to melt into water. The liquid runs off towards the edges of the roof but refreezes in the sub-freezing temperatures, resulting in a buildup of ice along the edges of the roof. This damming effect will then cause snow and ice to build up and put your roof in major jeopardy of being overloaded and damaged.
