Water Damage? Calm is Restored Here.

Typically, the drying process takes 3 to 5 days. However, the exact timeline depends on several factors: the source and category of water, the duration of the water exposure, and the types of materials affected. For instance, a clean water leak from a supply line caught quickly will dry faster than a basement flooded by heavy rains on the Peninsula. Our technicians will provide a more precise timeline after the initial inspection.

This depends on the severity and location of the damage. For minor damage confined to one area, you can often remain in your home. However, for more extensive damage or situations involving contaminated water (Category 2 or 3), it may be unsafe. The noise from our drying equipment can also be disruptive. We prioritize your safety and will advise you on the best course of action.

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies cover damage from sudden and accidental events, such as a burst pipe or washing machine overflow. However, coverage for flooding from external sources often requires a separate flood insurance policy. We have extensive experience working with all major insurance carriers in Washington and can help you navigate the claims process by providing detailed documentation and direct communication with your adjuster.

The climate of the Olympic Peninsula presents unique challenges. The persistent rainfall and high humidity mean that drying structures properly is paramount to preventing mold. We also see issues related to older homes with aging plumbing and crawl spaces that are susceptible to moisture intrusion. Our local experience means we know what to look for, from issues caused by "Pineapple Express" atmospheric rivers to simple plumbing failures in our community's varied housing stock.
