    What should I do in the first 60 minutes after water damage?

    Shut off the water source if you can, stay clear of electrical hazards in wet areas, and call a restoration company right away. Fast extraction in the first hour limits how far water spreads into floors, walls, and belongings. Read more: First 60 minutes checklist

    What does your restoration process look like?

    After a technician is dispatched to your property, we extract standing water with industrial pumps, map moisture behind walls and under floors with moisture meters and thermal imaging, then dry the structure with air movers and commercial dehumidifiers. Drying typically takes 3 to 5 days, and we document each stage for your insurance claim. Read more: Our water damage process

    How long does mold remediation take?

    Small mold areas under 10 square feet take about 1 to 2 days, moderate areas of 10 to 100 square feet about 2 to 3 days, and large areas over 100 square feet about 3 to 5 days or more. Whole-home remediation can take 5 to 7 or more days. The size of the area and the containment needed decide the timeline. Read more: Mold remediation timeline

    Insurance

    Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage?

    Most sudden, accidental damage like burst pipes and storm intrusion is covered under a standard homeowners policy, while gradual leaks and rising flood water usually are not. We document everything and bill your carrier directly. Read more: Homeowners insurance and water damage

    Do you bill my insurance company directly?

    Yes. We bill your insurance carrier directly and document the loss for the claim, so in most cases there is no upfront cost beyond your deductible. Our team handles the paperwork and photos your adjuster needs. Read more: Insurance claim tips

    What is the difference between water damage and flood insurance?

    Standard homeowners policies cover sudden internal water damage, like a burst pipe, but exclude rising water from outside, which requires a separate flood policy. Knowing which one applies decides how your claim is filed. Read more: Water damage vs flood insurance

    What is a wind and hail deductible in Oklahoma?

    Many Oklahoma policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible, often a percentage of your dwelling coverage rather than a flat dollar amount. That means your out-of-pocket cost on a roof claim can be higher than your standard deductible. Read more: Wind and hail deductibles explained

    Mold

    How fast does mold grow after water damage?

    According to the EPA, mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure in the right conditions. That is why our process starts with emergency extraction and moisture mapping as soon as we arrive, to get ahead of that window. Read more: Water damage restoration in OKC

    Does bleach kill mold?

    Bleach can lighten surface stains, but on porous materials like drywall and wood it does not reach the roots of the growth, so mold often returns. Professional remediation uses HEPA containment, removal of affected material, and antimicrobial treatment. Read more: Does bleach kill mold?

    Is mold covered by homeowners insurance?

    Mold is usually covered when it results from a sudden, covered event like a burst pipe, and usually not covered when it comes from long-term neglect or maintenance issues. We document the source of the moisture to support your claim. Read more: Homeowners insurance and water damage

    Do I need mold testing before remediation?

    Not always. When mold is visible, remediation can usually begin without a lab test, while testing helps when growth is suspected but hidden, or when a clearance test is needed after the work. We explain the options during the free inspection. Read more: Mold testing before remediation

    Storm and Fire

    What should I do after storm damage to my roof?

    Stay safe and keep away from downed lines and unstable structures, then call for emergency tarping to keep more water out. Emergency tarping and board-up typically costs $400 to $1,200. Photograph the damage for your claim. Wind, hail, and tornado damage are standard covered perils, and we bill insurance direct. Read more: Storm damage restoration

    What should I do after a house fire?

    Wait for the fire department to clear the property before entering, then call your insurer and a restoration company for board-up. Soot and smoke keep damaging surfaces after the flames are out, so fast cleaning and odor treatment matter. Read more: What to do after a house fire

    Is fire and smoke damage covered by insurance?

    Yes. Standard homeowners policies cover fire and smoke damage. We handle board-up, soot removal, odor elimination, and structural repair, and we bill your insurance carrier directly with full documentation for the claim. Read more: Fire and smoke damage restoration
