What to mention when you call

A good call starts with simple facts. Describe the water source, how long materials have been wet, whether water is still spreading, and which rooms or materials are affected.

  • Is the structure dry yet?
  • Were moisture readings taken?
  • Which materials were removed?
  • Do you need repair after mitigation?

Common work to ask about

  • Mitigation vs repair
  • Drywall and flooring questions
  • Mold-risk timing
  • Documentation
  • Next-step planning

Before you schedule
