How much does water damage restoration cost?

Costs vary based on the extent of damage, water category (clean, gray, or black water), and affected materials. Most residential jobs range from $1,500 to $7,500. We provide free on-site estimates and work directly with your insurance to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

Does insurance cover water damage restoration?

Most homeowner's policies cover sudden and accidental water damage such as burst pipes or appliance failures. Flood damage typically requires separate flood insurance. Our team documents everything and works directly with your adjuster to streamline the claims process.

How long does the restoration process take?

Water extraction usually takes 1–2 days. Structural drying typically takes 3–5 days depending on humidity, materials, and extent of damage. Full restoration including repairs can take 1–3 weeks for larger projects.

What should I do before the technicians arrive?

If safe, turn off the water source and electricity to affected areas. Move valuable items to dry areas. Do not use household vacuums on standing water. Take photos for insurance documentation, then call us immediately.

Can water damage cause mold?

Yes — mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. That's why rapid response is critical. Our drying protocol includes antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth, and we offer full mold remediation if needed.

Do you handle water damage emergencies 24/7?

Absolutely. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, 365 days a year. We guarantee a 60-minute response time for emergencies anywhere in the San Antonio metro area.

What types of water damage do you handle?

We handle all categories: Category 1 (clean water from pipes/supply lines), Category 2 (gray water from appliances/sinks), and Category 3 (black water from sewage/flooding). Each category requires specialized treatment protocols.

Why Immediate Response Matters

Mold in 24–48 Hours

According to the EPA's guide on mold and moisture, mold colonies can begin forming within a day of water exposure. Fast extraction and drying stops mold before it starts.

Structural Damage Risk

Standing water weakens drywall, warps flooring, and compromises structural framing. Every hour increases repair costs.

Health Hazards

Contaminated water (Category 2 & 3) introduces bacteria and pathogens. Professional extraction and sanitization protect your family's health.
