What Happens When a 24-Hour Team Arrives
Emergency dispatch
Call is answered 24/7. You describe what you can see; the restoration company identifies the nearest available IICRC-certified crew and confirms an arrival window for your address before you hang up.
On-site assessment — first 15 minutes
Technicians assess water source, moisture levels with calibrated meters, and damage category (1, 2, or 3). Scope of work is documented before extraction begins.
Water extraction — industrial speed
Truck-mounted extractors remove standing water at 100–500 gallons per minute — far faster than any consumer-grade equipment. This step can take 30 minutes to several hours depending on volume.
Industrial drying — 3–7 days
Air movers (fans) and LGR dehumidifiers run continuously. Technicians return daily to check moisture readings in walls, subfloor, and ceiling cavities. Equipment stays until IICRC target moisture levels are reached.
Insurance documentation
Certified companies provide Xactimate estimates, daily drying logs, and moisture reading reports — exactly what insurance adjusters require. Most bill your insurer directly.
24/7 Emergency Response
We connect you with pros available around the clock — nights, weekends, and holidays.

24-Hour Water Damage Service — FAQs
Is 24-hour emergency water damage service available near me?
YesWe connect homeowners with IICRC-certified 24-hour water damage service in 522 cities across all 50 states and DC.
How long you wait depends on where you are, what time it is and how many jobs are already running, so the pro confirms a real arrival window for your address on the call rather than quoting an average. The line is staffed 24/7, including holidays.
Does 24-hour emergency water damage service cost more at night?
Some companies charge an after-hours call-out fee of $150–$300 on top of the project cost. Others include 24/7 availability in their standard pricing.
Always ask about emergency dispatch fees before agreeing to service. IICRC-certified companies are required to provide a written estimate before work begins — any extra fees should be disclosed upfront.
What counts as a water damage emergency that needs 24-hour service?
Any of these require immediate 24-hour service: active water flow from a burst pipe, sewage backup, basement flooding with more than 1 inch of water, ceiling collapse from a leak, or flooding from storms or appliance failures.
Mold remediation and minor ceiling stains can typically wait for business hours — but call for guidance if you're unsure.
How fast can 24-hour water damage service start near me?
As fast as a crew is free — the line is answered 24/7 and the pro gives you a real arrival window for your address on the call.
What matters more than the drive is what the water is doing while you wait: it wicks up drywall and into subfloor and framing, and the IICRC S500 standard treats 24–48 hours of wet material as the point where a clean-water loss starts becoming a mold job. That is the line worth beating, and it is why the call goes in before the mopping starts.
What should I do while waiting for the 24-hour service team?
Shut off the water source or main supply valve. Turn off electricity to flooded areas at the breaker panel. Do not walk through standing water with electrical outlets submerged.
Move valuables and electronics above flood level if safe to do so. Take video of all affected areas for insurance documentation. Do not use a shop vac or fan on sewage-contaminated water.
Who do I call right now for water damage?
Call (888) 840-6512. The line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and connects you with an IICRC-certified water damage restoration company that serves your area.
Describe what you can see — where the water is coming from, how long it has been there, and whether it smells — and the dispatcher routes you to a crew that handles that kind of loss. If the source is a pipe or an appliance, shut the main water valve first; the call itself takes under two minutes.
