Who we are

A Free Referral Line for Water Damage Emergencies

A Water Damage is a free phone referral service. We are not the contractor. We connect Lexington County callers with independent, licensed and insured water damage pros who already work the local roads and know the housing stock, from older homes with galvanized pipes to newer builds with PEX lines.

Nobody plans for a flood. Most calls start with a split washer hose, a toilet that would not stop running, or a sump pump that quit mid-storm. The person calling is usually ankle-deep in it and has no idea which company to call. Getting them to a qualified local pro quickly is the whole point of this line.

The contractors in the network are independent businesses. They set their own prices, carry their own licenses and insurance, and stand behind their own work. Many hold IICRC training in water damage restoration and applied structural drying, and they show up with the gear the job needs: truck-mounted or portable extractors, commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, pin and pinless moisture meters, and thermal imaging cameras that spot wet framing behind finished walls.

Before you sign anything, ask the contractor for proof of license and insurance and a written estimate. Any reputable pro will provide both without hesitation, and most will walk the property with you, take moisture readings, and explain exactly what needs to come out and why.

Warning signs

How to Tell Water Damage Is Getting Worse

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Some of the most expensive water damage jobs start as a faint stain or a slightly soft spot near a baseboard. If you notice any of the signs below, call before it spreads.

!

Drywall that gives when pressed

Drywall wicks water upward like a sponge. If the bottom of a wall feels soft, shows a tide line, or the paint is bubbling, water is sitting inside the cavity.

!

That damp basement odor

If the room still smells damp days after the visible water is gone, moisture is hiding under the floor or inside the wall, and mold may not be far behind.

!

Cupping or buckling floors

Hardwood boards that cup at the edges, laminate that peaks at the seams, or vinyl plank that lifts all point to moisture coming up from the subfloor.

!

A water bill that jumped

A sudden jump on your water bill, or a meter that keeps moving when every fixture is off, often means a slab leak or a hidden supply line break.

!

Brown rings on the ceiling

Yellow-brown rings or a bulge in the ceiling mean water is collecting above. Do not puncture it yourself, and keep people out of the room until a pro checks it.

!

Puddles that keep coming back

Visible water on the floor, in the basement, or around the water heater is the obvious one, but how fast it is removed decides how much of the floor, drywall, and cabinetry can be saved.

Repair and restoration

Structural Drying Services, Start to Finish

Every water loss moves through the same three phases: extraction, drying, and rebuild. Pros in the network handle all of them, which keeps one person accountable from the first moisture reading to the last coat of paint.

E

24/7 Emergency Water Removal

When water is still on the floor, speed matters more than anything. The contractor starts by stopping the source, cutting power to wet areas if needed, and documenting the damage with photos and moisture readings for your insurance claim. Then the extraction begins, using truck-mounted units for large losses or portable extractors where hoses cannot reach. Weighted extraction tools pull water out of carpet and pad, which can cut drying time by days.

R

Water Damage Repair for Homes

Most home losses come from the same short list: a failed water heater, a cracked supply line, a leaking dishwasher, or a toilet that overflowed. The contractor removes what cannot be saved, dries what can, treats exposed framing with an antimicrobial, and then handles repairs from drywall and texture to trim and flooring.

C

Water Damage Help for Businesses

A flooded office, restaurant, or retail floor costs money every hour it is closed. Commercial jobs often need larger crews, desiccant dehumidifiers for big open spaces, and drying plans built around business hours. The contractor can stage work in sections so part of the space keeps running, and keep drying logs your property manager or insurer can review.

D

Professional Structural Drying

Drying is a science, not a box fan in the doorway. Pros set up a closed drying chamber, place air movers to push air across wet surfaces, and run low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air. They check readings every day and adjust until framing, subfloor, and drywall reach dry standard, which is the moisture level of unaffected materials in the same home.

M

Stopping Mold Before It Starts

The best mold remediation is the kind you never need. After extraction, pros treat exposed framing and subfloors with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, cut out porous materials that stayed wet too long, and run HEPA air filtration if spores could travel through the house.

S

Specialty Losses: Sewage, Storms, and Slab Leaks

Not all water is the same. A sewage backup or river flooding is Category 3 water and requires protective equipment, removal of contaminated materials, and disinfection. Slab leaks need electronic leak detection. Crawl spaces need wet insulation pulled and vapor barriers replaced. Describing the situation on the call helps match you with the right specialist.

How it works

From Your First Call to a Dry Home

When water is on the floor, you need a short path to help. Here is what happens after you call.

Make the call

When you call +1-877-637-9008, you will be asked a few quick questions: what failed, which rooms are wet, and roughly when it started. Those answers help route you to the right local contractor.

A local pro heads your way

The contractor confirms your address, gives you an arrival window, and may walk you through shutting off the main water valve or the breaker to a wet room while you wait.

Inspection and written estimate

The contractor walks every affected room, takes readings with moisture meters and an infrared camera, sorts out what can be dried versus what has to go, and puts a written quote in your hands before starting.

Dry it out, then rebuild

Once you approve, extraction and drying begin. The contractor monitors daily until materials hit dry standard, then handles repairs. You get the moisture logs and photos for your insurance claim.

The water heater gave out late on a Sunday and soaked the garage and laundry room. The pro I was connected with arrived in under an hour, extracted everything that night, and had drying equipment running before he left. Straightforward and honest.

Dana R.Water heater failure, garage and laundry room

The thermal camera picture is what got me. The wall looked fine, but it was soaked two feet up. They cut out the bottom section, dried the framing in about four days, and showed me the meter readings every visit.

A pipe burst in our dental office over a weekend. The crew dried it in phases so we could keep seeing patients in the other rooms, and the documentation they gave us sped up the claim.

Sump pump died during a storm and we had three inches in the basement. The pro pulled up the carpet pad, saved the carpet, and treated the walls so we would not get mold. Fair price, written up before they started.

Water from the upstairs bathroom came through the dining room ceiling. The pro drained the bulge safely, dried the joists, then patched and painted. The ceiling looks brand new.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Structural Drying Questions

Here are straight answers to the questions callers ask most. If yours is not here, call and ask.

It depends on traffic, weather, and how many calls are coming in, but because the contractors are local, many can be on site within an hour. The dispatcher or contractor will give you a real arrival window on the phone.

Yes. The independent contractor inspects the damage and gives you a written estimate before work begins. You do not pay for the referral, and you are never obligated to hire the contractor.

Common emergency services include water extraction, drying setup, sewage cleanup, tarping, and board-up. Describing the situation clearly helps match you with a pro who has the right equipment.

Sudden events like a burst pipe usually are covered, while slow leaks and outside floodwater often are not unless you have a separate flood policy. The contractor's documentation helps your claim, but your agent can confirm what your policy includes.

Most structural drying jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take longer. The contractor checks readings daily and removes equipment only when materials reach dry standard.

Turn off the water at the main shutoff, kill power to affected rooms at the panel, lift furniture and electronics off the floor, and photograph everything. Avoid sagging ceilings and never use a regular vacuum on water.

Not always. Supply line water starts clean, but appliance discharge carries bacteria, and sewage or floodwater is heavily contaminated. Wait for the pro to classify it, and avoid contact if you are not sure.

Carpet hit by clean water can often be dried in place, with only the pad replaced. If the water was contaminated, the carpet and pad both need to go for health reasons.

A musty smell, dark spotting on walls or baseboards, or allergy-type symptoms that get worse at home are common signs. Contractors can check moisture levels and, where needed, recommend mold testing by an independent assessor.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service. We connect you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the work and bill you directly. Always confirm licensing and insurance with the contractor before work begins.
