The Water Damage Assessment:

• Our technicians will first conduct a thorough assessment, perform daily inspections and monitoring to develop drying strategies and answer: What’s wet, how wet is it, is it drying, and has it reached its dry standard.
• The assessment helps determine what damaged material may need to be removed due to structural integrity issues, damage not restorable, or contamination. Our goal is to dry all materials such as drywall, wood, carpet and padding, baseboards, furniture, insulation, furniture, upholstery, and more, providing they are not contaminated, or structurally compromised according to industry standards.

Mitigating and restoring water damage in Burlington, VT is one of our main goals. However, our top priority is the safety of all parties involved in our process, technicians and customers alike. Follow these tips to reduce setback chances due to roof leaks, faulty plumbing and AC, rains, floods, etc.

What You Should Do:

• Shut off main water supply: Turn off your home’s water supply. You may need to call a plumber for repairs.
• Be extra careful: Watch where you step as flooring may be slippery and wet. Keep a lookout for obstacles and any exposed wiring. USE CAUTION.
• Water removal: Mop as much water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to speed up the drying process and in hot weather, only if it’s safe to do so, switch your A/C on.
• Upholstery should be propped up: All loose cushions and upholstered furniture should be propped up in a dry place.
• Deal with Area Rugs and Obstacles: Remove any area rugs and pick up any items that are sitting on the floor.
• Dry Storage Containers: Please open and dry all of your wet storage containers, bins, or suitcases. If possible, have them dry in the sun.
• Protect Your Valuables: Paintings, artwork, and any other valuables should be moved to a safe, dry place.
• Dry Wet Clothing: Quickly dry any wet garments. Hang leather goods and furs to dry at room temperature.

• DO NOT USE APPLIANCES: DO NOT USE TVs, radios, computers, ceiling fans, or any other electrical appliances while standing on wet floors or carpets, particularly concrete or tile floors.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding or water damage? Do you work with insurance companies to minimize the cost and hassle?

Homeowners insurance provides coverage for sudden and accidental damage (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, no matter the water source, is NOT covered by standard homeowners policies. Also, a standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover water damage that results from a lack of maintenance.
