Water Damage FAQs

How do I know if my water damage will be covered by insurance?

Working with insurance companies on water damage issues can be a cumbersome task. Ensign works directly with your insurance company on your behalf to make sure that you receive the maximum possible for your claim to fully restore your home to pre-damage condition. We have experienced water damage restoration professionals who can assess the damage to your home and facilitate an efficient claims process.

What should I do immediately after discovering water damage in my home?

Shut off the water source if possible, turn off electricity to affected areas for safety, and remove or elevate valuables and furniture out of standing water. Contact a water damage restoration professional as soon as possible, since mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, and the sooner mitigation begins, the less damage and cost you'll typically face.

How long does water damage restoration take?

Most water damage restoration projects take anywhere from 3 to 7 days to fully dry out a structure, though this depends on the extent of the water intrusion, the materials affected, and how long the water sat before mitigation began. Larger or more severe losses, especially those involving structural drying or reconstruction, can take several weeks.

Can water damage lead to mold growth?

Yes. Any time building materials stay wet for more than 24 to 48 hours, conditions become favorable for mold to begin growing. This is why fast water extraction and thorough structural drying are critical parts of the restoration process, not just removing the visible water.

What's the difference between water mitigation and water damage restoration?

Water mitigation refers to the immediate steps taken to stop further damage, such as extracting standing water, removing damaged materials, and drying out the structure. Water damage restoration is the broader process that follows, which includes repairing or rebuilding any structural elements, flooring, or drywall that were damaged, returning the home to its pre-loss condition.

What are the signs of hidden water damage?

Common signs include a musty odor, discoloration or staining on walls and ceilings, peeling paint or wallpaper, warped or buckling flooring, and unexplained increases in your water bill. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth having a professional inspect the area, since water damage that isn't addressed early can lead to mold growth and more costly structural repairs.
