Yes — water damage is always an emergency. Whether it's from a burst pipe, sewage backup, or flood, it can quickly lead to structural damage, electrical hazards, and mold growth if not addressed promptly

First, stop the water source if safe to do so and turn off power to the affected area. Document the damage with photos and videos for insurance purposes, then contact Restoration 1 right away to begin mitigation and drying

Mold can start to grow within 72 hours of water exposure. That makes swift professional response essential to prevent widespread mold contamination

Most homeowner policies will cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, but typically exclude gradual leaks or flooding. Restoration 1 works closely with insurance providers to facilitate coverage and reduce your stress during the claims process
