What Happens After You Call
-
A crew on call all night
Drywall, pad and framing keep drinking water for as long as it sits. Crews on 24/7 dispatch treat every running leak and every flooded room as urgent, so the best move is to call the moment the water shows up.
-
The first visit
The technician checks for electrical hazards, confirms the source is shut off and photographs each wet room. Then a meter and an infrared camera sweep the floors, walls and ceilings, and the pumps start once the plan is set.
-
Drying to the IICRC S500 standard
The trade follows IICRC S500, a written standard. It grades water as Category 1, 2 or 3, ranks a loss from Class 1 to 4, and sets how equipment is sized and what counts as dry.
-
Records for the insurance claim
Dated photos, moisture maps, daily readings and an equipment log build up from the first visit. An adjuster can read what happened and what was done, while the policy itself decides what gets paid.
What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Stay safe first, then slow the water down. These moves protect people and shrink the repair list. Call (888) 480-6221 first, then work down the list while the crew gets ready.
- Stay out of standing water near outlets, power strips and appliances. Switch off the circuit from a dry spot, or wait for an electrician.
- Close the shutoff valve for the pipe, fixture or appliance that is leaking. A plumber handles the repair after that.
- Keep away from any ceiling that bulges, sags or drips. Trapped water makes it heavy, and it can drop with no warning.
- Treat sewage, drain backups and flood water from outdoors as unsafe. Keep kids and pets out, and do not touch it bare-handed.
- Before anything is moved, film the water and the broken part, and jot down when the leak began.
- Lift small items, electronics and rugs onto dry ground. Leave soaked carpet and heavy furniture for the crew.
What Does Water Damage Cleanup Cost?
Plan on roughly $900 to $2,500 for a small clean-water leak and $2,500 to $12,000 when a room, a basement or several rooms are wet. Sewage and outdoor flood water usually cost more, since soaked porous materials are removed instead of dried in place.
- One wet room, clean water: $900 to $2,500. Water extraction, a few days of fans and a dehumidifier, and moisture checks.
- Room with wet drywall or flooring: $2,500 to $6,500. Adds pulling pad, baseboard or the lower part of the wall so the cavity can dry.
- Flooded basement or several rooms: $5,000 to $12,000. More square feet, more machines and a longer stretch of drying.
- Sewage or outdoor flood water: $4,000 to $15,000. Contaminated materials are bagged and removed, then surfaces are cleaned and treated before drying.
What changes the price
- How many square feet of floor, wall and ceiling got wet
- Whether the water was clean, gray or contaminated
- What it soaked: carpet, hardwood, plaster, insulation or cabinets
- How long the water sat before drying started, and whether walls must be opened
For a rough number, try the water damage cleanup cost calculator.
Paperwork That Backs Up an Insurance Claim
The crew builds the file an adjuster wants to see. Water that arrives suddenly, such as from a split pipe or a snapped hose, is often covered under a homeowners policy, while seepage over time, flood and sewer backup are usually handled differently. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
- Dated photos of every wet area before anything is torn out
- A moisture map that shows where the water traveled
- Humidity and moisture readings recorded each day
- The water category and the class of the loss
- A written list of equipment used and materials removed
The file records what the crew found and did. What gets paid is the insurer's call under the policy.

Water Damage Questions Homeowners Ask
Water Damage Cleanup Questions
What is water damage cleanup?
It is the emergency work that follows a leak or flood: pumping out the water, tearing out what cannot be saved, drying the structure and keeping records. The plumber fixes the pipe, and the cleanup crew handles everything the water touched.
Should I call the plumber or the cleanup crew first?
Close the main valve, then call both. The two jobs do not overlap, and the drying can begin while the plumber repairs the pipe. Calling (888) 480-6221 gets the cleanup side moving at any hour.
How soon should cleanup start after a leak?
Right after the source is shut off. Drywall, carpet pad and wood keep soaking up water, and mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours, so waiting only lengthens the repair list.
Can I dry the room myself with towels and fans?
Towels and box fans handle surface dampness only. Water hides in the pad, the subfloor and the wall cavity, and without a moisture meter a room can feel dry while the framing stays wet.
Is it safe to stay in the house during cleanup?
Dry rooms usually stay usable. Rooms with sewage, wet electrical gear or a sagging ceiling are off limits until the crew says otherwise, and anyone with breathing trouble may want to stay elsewhere.
What happens to wet carpet and drywall?
It depends on the water and how long the material sat in it. Clean-water carpet can often be dried in place, while pad, insulation and drywall touched by dirty water are removed and replaced later.
Does homeowners insurance pay for water damage cleanup?
In many cases, if the water came from something sudden and accidental, like a burst pipe. Slow leaks, flood and sewer backup typically fall under separate coverage or exclusions, and only your policy settles it, so ask your insurer.
How much does water damage cleanup cost?
Typical national ranges start near $900 for a small clean-water leak and reach $12,000 or more for a flooded basement. Contaminated losses can go higher still, because materials are removed and surfaces treated.
How long do the dehumidifiers and fans run?
Most contained clean-water losses finish drying in 3 to 5 days. Thick hardwood, plaster walls and finished basements need longer, and the machines stay until the meters agree the materials are dry.
What should I tell the crew when I call?
Start with the address and what you think caused the water. Then list the wet rooms, say whether it is still running, and flag anything risky such as a sagging ceiling, a wet outlet or a sewage smell.
Water that sits keeps climbing into drywall, pad and framing. Call Water Damage Cleanup Response Team at (888) 480-6221, tell the crew what happened and get the pump-out and drying planned.
