How Our Water Damage Restoration Protects Your Home
Our water damage restoration is built around getting your home back to normal with as little damage and disruption as possible.
- The damage stops, and mold doesn’t get a foothold. We dry the water you can see and the water hidden inside your walls and under your floors, so the leak doesn’t keep damaging your home or turn into mold weeks later.
- You get your home back sooner, with less torn out. The faster your home dries, the more of your drywall, flooring, cabinets, and belongings we can save, which means less demolition and less disruption.
- Your home is clean and safe to live in. When water comes from a toilet, drain, or outdoor flooding, we remove what it soaked and disinfect everything it touched, so bacteria don’t stay behind.
- Your insurance claim has what it needs. We document the damage with photos and moisture records and work directly with your adjuster, so your claim keeps moving.
- Our work is covered for two years. Every project we complete comes with a 2-year warranty.

From Water Extraction to Restoration
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
01
We answer and send a crew
We answer 24/7, ask where the water is coming from, and send a crew with extraction and drying equipment.
02
We find the water and document it
Using moisture meters, we map how far the water spread behind walls and under floors, and we photograph every affected room.
03
We extract the water and dry the structure
We remove standing water, take out materials that can’t be saved, and apply an antimicrobial. Then we set up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure.
04
We repair and rebuild
Our construction team replaces the drywall, flooring, baseboards, and cabinets that came out, then repaints, so every room is ready to use again. Your adjuster gets our repair estimate along the way.

Questions
Phoenix and Gilbert Water Damage Restoration FAQs
How long does it take to dry out a house after water damage?
Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days. Larger jobs, or water that soaked into the subfloor and wall cavities, can take longer, and repairs start once everything is dry.
Can wet drywall be saved?
Often, yes. If clean water soaked it and it isn’t swollen and the seams are intact, drywall can be dried in place. If it’s swollen or crumbling, we cut out the damaged section and replace it.
Can wet carpet and padding be saved?
Often, yes, if the water was clean and we can extract it and start drying right away. If the carpet or padding stayed wet longer than 48 hours, or can’t be fully cleaned and dried, we replace it.
Does it matter what kind of water flooded my home?
Yes. The type of water decides how much of your home can be saved. Clean water from a broken supply line can usually be dried in place. Gray water, like washing machine discharge, needs disinfecting, and some porous materials may have to go. Sewage and floodwater mean carpet, drywall, and insulation it soaked have to be removed. Clean water also becomes more contaminated the longer it sits, so call right away.
How can I tell if I have a hidden leak?
Turn off every faucet and water-using appliance, then look at your water meter. If the leak indicator still moves, water is escaping somewhere. Next, shut the main valve at the house: if the meter stops, the leak is inside the home, and if it keeps moving, the leak is in the service line.
Is it safe to clean up the water myself?
You can start mopping up clean water from a source like a leaking water heater or refrigerator line, as long as it hasn’t reached outlets or cords. Mopping only gets the water you can see, though. Water that soaked into drywall, insulation, and subfloor has to be found with moisture meters and dried with air movers and dehumidifiers, and water from a toilet, drain, or flood should be left to our crew entirely.
