Yes. We bill major insurance carriers directly — including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, USAA, and Travelers – and handle the full claims workflow. This includes moisture documentation with timestamped photos, IICRC-standard drying logs, Xactimate-compatible estimates, and direct communication with your adjuster. Most Category 1 clean-water losses are covered under standard homeowners policies as sudden-and-accidental damage. Our team works directly with adjusters to streamline approvals and expedite your recovery.
We deploy commercial-grade drying systems on every job: LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers rated at 130+ pints per day, axial air movers producing 3,000+ CFM per unit, infrared thermal imaging cameras for non-invasive moisture detection, and pin and pinless moisture meters for drywall, hardwood, and subfloor readings. All equipment is calibrated to IICRC S500 drying standards.
Standard residential water damage restoration takes 3 – 7 days from dispatch to completion for Category 1 (clean water) losses under 500 square feet. Larger losses, Category 2 or 3 contamination, hardwood floor affected areas, or mold remediation extend the timeline to 7 – 14 days. Reconstruction work (drywall replacement, repainting, flooring) adds an additional 5 – 10 days depending on scope. Projects vary by damage severity. Minor leaks can be resolved in a few days, while extensive flooding or structural drying may take one to two weeks.
Yes. Mold can begin colonizing wet materials within 24–48 hours of water intrusion at normal LA humidity levels. We prevent mold growth by achieving target drying standards of 40% relative humidity and below 16% moisture content in wood and drywall, verified with moisture meter readings. If mold is already present, our IICRC AMRT-certified technicians follow containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment protocols under negative-air pressure. Our drying and dehumidification processes prevent mold by removing moisture completely.
