Water Damage Restoration — Frequently Asked Questions
What types of water damage does HearthDry cover?
We connect homeowners with IICRC-certified restoration professionals for all major water damage types: burst pipe repair and drying, storm water damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage backup cleanup (Category 3 biohazard), basement flooding, and general water damage restoration. All services are available 24/7 for emergency response.
How quickly can a water damage restoration team arrive?
As fast as a crew is free — the line is answered 24/7 and the restoration company gives you a real arrival window for your address on the call.
How long that is depends on where you are, what time it is and how many jobs are already running, which is why nobody can quote you a number before they know your address. Calling early still matters: mold begins growing in wet material within 24–48 hours, and every hour of standing water widens the damage.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Standard homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance overflow, roof leaks.
It typically does NOT cover flooding from external water sources (requires separate NFIP or private flood insurance), gradual/slow leaks from deferred maintenance, or sewer backup (unless you carry a rider). Most restoration companies work directly with insurers to handle claims.
Why should I hire IICRC-certified water damage professionals?
IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) is the gold standard for restoration professionals. Certified technicians have passed rigorous exams in water damage science, drying principles, and mold remediation protocols.
Insurance companies often require IICRC-certified work to honor claims. DIY drying equipment rarely achieves the moisture readings required to prevent mold — professional grade dehumidifiers and air movers are 3–5x more powerful than consumer equipment.
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 — the more specific you are, the faster the right company is on the line.
If the source is a pipe or an appliance, shut the main water valve first. Have four things ready and the call goes quickly: the address, when the water started, what is wet now, and whether you have filed an insurance claim.
