Do you handle flood damage restoration in Old Town?

YesWhen the flooding started inside the house: a burst pipe, a failed water heater, an appliance line, a sewage backup or a sump pump that quit — that is the flood damage restoration crews in Old Town are called for every week, and it is covered by a standard homeowners policy as sudden damage.

Rising water from outside — a river, a storm surge, street flooding — is a different claim (NFIP or a private flood policy, not homeowners) and the cleanup is Category 3 work from the first minute. Either way the drying has to start the same day; the difference is who pays.
