Dry rot, water or pest damage major repairs FAQs

It's impossible to prevent every instance of water damage, especially from extreme weather or river flooding. However, you can take steps to minimize the risk:

  • Inspect appliances and plumbing fixtures monthly for leaks and related issues. Ensure hoses are free from drips, and check the sealing around tubs and showers, caulking if necessary.

  • Hire a pro to inspect your home's plumbing, roof, foundation, and more each year.

  • Improve drainage around your home: Extend downspouts away from the foundation, enhance yard grading, and consider installing a sump pump to reduce flooding risks.

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris and stay on top of cleaning tasks.

  • Install leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves: These devices can alert you to leaks and prevent extensive damage.

  • Winterize your pipes to protect them from freezing temperatures, which can lead to bursting.

Homeowners insurance generally covers water damage from sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or unexpected leaks. It typically doesn't cover damage due to neglect or poor maintenance. A home warranty covers breakages from normal wear and tear on appliances and home systems but doesn't provide structural coverage like homeowners insurance. It's essential to review your specific policy details and contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. Thoroughly documenting the damage with photos and videos can simplify the claims process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.

A water-damaged home can take around five days to dry, though this depends on the damage. As for dedicated cleanups and repairs, it goes in phases, with water extraction taking at least three days and full restoration taking weeks or even months. Replacing drywall, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components can take a few days as well.

After water damage, you may need to replace porous items that have absorbed water and can't be thoroughly dried or sanitized. Materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, wall insulation, drywall, and other absorbent items often require replacement. Water can cause these materials to deteriorate and become breeding grounds for mold, posing health risks. It's important to assess all affected items and consult with a professional to determine what needs to be replaced to restore your home safely.

Detecting mold behind walls can be challenging, but certain signs may indicate its presence. If you notice discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint on your walls, mold could be growing underneath. A persistent musty odor is another strong indicator of hidden mold. Additionally, experiencing unexplained health issues like frequent sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation in specific rooms may signal mold growth. In such cases, it's advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess and address the problem promptly.
