Signs to look for

When to call us for water damage cleanup

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A brown ring on the ceiling below a bathroom

Before the finish work begins, that ring is water soluble staining, often tannin bleed from the framing above, carried through the drywall. With sound workmanship in mind, the cavity above it more often than not still holds moisture in the insulation.

The cabinet toe kick is dark or the base feels soft

So the repair lasts, cabinet bases sit directly on the floor and wick fast. With sound workmanship in mind, a soft base almost always means the particleboard underneath has already swollen.

Baseboards are swelling or paint is bubbling near the floor

Trim millwork millwork and the bottom few inches of drywall absorb first. Bubbling paint means moisture is pushing out from behind the surface, not sitting on it.

A smell came back after you dried the visible water

For a job done right, odor returning is the clearest sign soils are still in position. Before the finish work begins, carpet padding, cabinet voids and wall bases are where it more often than not lives.

Grout lines or the tub caulk line have darkened

So the repair lasts, grout is porous and holds water and soil. Before the finish work begins, darkening at a seam means water travelled under the tile or behind the surround.

It is damp behind the washing machine or under the dishwasher

Before the finish work begins, a weeping washing machine hose or a leaking dishwasher pump seal wets the floor under the unit first.

What happens

How we see to water damage cleanup

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

A moisture sweep before any cleaning starts

For a job done right, we meter the wall bases, floors and cabinet interiors first. For a job done right, cleaning a surface that has water behind it wastes the visit.

Contents handling and a written contents inventory

Before the finish work begins, furniture is blocked up off the floor and wet items are moved, listed and photographed. With sound workmanship in mind, you get the inventory as opposed to a vague description.

Detail cleaning of hard surfaces

Floors, tile, grout, trim millwork millwork and finished wood are cleaned with detergent and rinsed. Physically removing soils does most of the work on any water loss.

Cabinet interiors emptied and toe kicks opened

Before the finish work begins, we clear the cabinets, remove the toe kick, and get airflow into the void underneath. Before the finish work begins, that space is the single most missed saturated section in a kitchen.

Material by material triage

With sound workmanship in mind, every wet material gets a decision based on moisture values and construction. For a job done right, a plywood cabinet box and a particleboard base get very different answers.

Controlled removal of what will not come back

Saturated carpet padding, wet fiberglass insulation and swollen MDF trim millwork millwork come out. Cuts are made to clean lines and photographed first.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Small single room cleanup, clean water, caught quickly	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, cleaning, minor material removal and two to three days of drying.	$500 to $1,500
Kitchen or bathroom cleanup with cabinetry involved	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, cabinet voids, toe kicks and flooring assemblies drive the hours.	$1,500 to $5,000
Ceiling cleanup after a leak from the floor above	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. For a job done right, includes cavity access, wet insulation removal and stain sealing prep.	$500 to $2,500
Cleanup priced by affected area, clean water	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, the common way indoor cleanup scales once more than one room is wet.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Contents cleaning, per item	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, varies widely between a boxed lot, a chair and an upholstered sofa.	$20 to $150
Sanitizing and deodorizing after gray water	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, added when the source was an appliance, a drain or a toilet.	$200 to $800

Affected area, measured with a meter
Before the finish work begins, work plan is set by what reads wet, not by the size of the puddle.
How long the water sat before cleanup
So the repair lasts, a leak caught in an hour is a cleaning visit.
Whether the water was clean or gray
So the repair lasts, supply line water is clean. Before the finish work begins, dishwasher, washing machine and toilet bowl overflow water is gray, which adds cleaning, treatment and disposal.
Cabinetry and built ins involved
So the repair lasts, kitchens and vanities are the expensive rooms.
Whether a ceiling is involved
With sound workmanship in mind, a leak from above adds ceiling cleaning, insulation removal in the cavity, stain sealing and access work from below.
Volume of contents in the room
With sound workmanship in mind, cleaning and inventorying contents is labor.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

A clean surface over a wet cavity solves nothing

So the repair lasts, wiping the floor while the wall base and cabinet void stay wet just hides the loss.

Wet organic materials only need a day or two

Before the finish work begins, damp paper facing, wood and textiles in still air are all it takes, and mold can begin in 24 to 48 hours.

Cabinet bases fail weeks after the leak

Before the finish work begins, particleboard swells, loses strength and does not recover.

Stains bleed straight through new paint

With sound workmanship in mind, water soluble staining, often tannin bleed from the framing above, reappears through fresh latex within days.

Helpful service information

Read the explanation

For a job done right, cleaning and drying answer two different questions. Before the finish work begins, cleaning removes soils, residues and bacteria the water deposited on and in materials.

How the next step is decided

Solid hardwood and tile more often than not survive with proper drying.

Read the explanation

Material triage is the honest heart of this job. Solid hardwood and tile more often than not survive with proper drying.

What may change the work

Physical cleaning with detergent and agitation does most of the work, because removing the soil removes what feeds bacteria.

Common questions

Questions about water damage cleanup

What is included in water damage cleanup?

With sound workmanship in mind, finding where the water actually went, then cleaning the surfaces and contents it touched. Before the finish work begins, removing materials that cannot be preserved, drying the structure to a measured target, and treating any odor at the source.

Do I still need cleanup if the water is already gone?

For a job done right, often yes. So the repair lasts, removing water does not remove the soils it deposited or the moisture inside wall bases, cabinet voids and subfloor.

Can I clean this up myself?

For a job done right, here is a usable line. With sound workmanship in mind, say yes if it is clean water, under roughly 10 square feet, on a hard surface with nothing porous underneath, and caught within a couple of hours.

Should I run fans and open the windows?

Before the finish work begins, do not run fans alone. With sound workmanship in mind, air movement without dehumidification carries moisture into dry rooms and spreads the problem.

Do you use bleach?

With sound workmanship in mind, seldom, and not as a default. So the repair lasts, physically cleaning with detergent removes most soils and bacteria, which is what actually matters.

Does everything have to be disinfected?

For a job done right, no. Before the finish work begins, routine treatment of every clean water job is not good practice. For a job done right, when the water came from a dishwasher, washing machine, drain or toilet, cleaning and treatment are both appropriate.

Will the ceiling stain come back?

For a job done right, it will bleed through ordinary paint if you paint too early. So the repair lasts, water soluble staining, often tannin bleed from the framing above, calls for the ceiling dry first and then a stain blocking primer.
