Water damage restoration is a distinct service from plumbing repair. It addresses the cleanup, drying, and mitigation after water has already affected a structure, flooring, drywall, or contents, separate from fixing whatever caused the water in the first place. If a pipe burst and caused water damage in your Lakewood home, you're likely dealing with both problems at once: the plumbing repair itself, covered by our burst pipe repair team, and the water damage that resulted, covered here.
Fast response matters more with water damage than almost any other home issue, since standing water and elevated moisture create conditions for mold growth within as little as 24 to 48 hours. Our water damage line runs 24/7 specifically because of that timeline.
Not every wet spot requires a full restoration response. A small, quickly-caught spill that's dried within a few hours is very different from water that's been sitting under flooring or inside a wall cavity for a day or more. If you're not sure which situation you're in, describing what happened and how long ago is usually enough for us to advise you honestly over the phone.

What To Do While You Wait
- Stop the water source if it's safe to do so, or shut off the main water valve

Common Questions
As fast as possible. Mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours in a wet environment, so extraction and drying should start as soon as it's safe to do so.
Sudden, accidental water damage, like from a burst pipe, is typically covered by standard policies. Damage from a long-term, unaddressed leak is treated differently and may not be, so check your specific policy.
We handle the restoration side; a connected plumbing repair, like burst pipe repair, is coordinated alongside it so nothing is left unaddressed.
Thorough, prompt drying significantly reduces the risk. Once mold has already developed, that becomes a more involved mold remediation process rather than standard water damage drying.
Mitigation is the immediate response, extraction and drying, aimed at stopping further damage. Restoration can include that plus repairing or replacing affected materials afterward. We're upfront about which phase a given visit covers.
If the damage was caused by a burst pipe that still needs repair, see burst pipe repair for that connected service, handled on our standard line. Homeowners across Lakewood and nearby cities can reach this dedicated water damage line 24/7 regardless of location, and we coordinate directly with our plumbing team so the two services don't leave a gap between them.
