Straight answers to what people ask us most.
What to do in the first hour after a burst pipe
Shut off the main water valve, cut power to wet areas if it is safe, call a 24/7 water damage company, and photograph everything before you move it. Drying should start within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold.
How to choose a water damage or storm restoration company
Choose a company that answers 24/7 and can be on-site within a few hours, documents damage for your insurer, handles both mitigation and rebuild, is local with a physical address, and has reviews you can verify.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Missouri?
Yes, in most cases. Hail is a covered peril on standard Missouri homeowners policies, so the insurer pays to repair or replace damaged roofing, siding and gutters after your deductible. Check for a separate wind and hail deductible and report damage promptly.
What affects the cost of water damage restoration?
The cost depends on four things, the type of water, how much of the building it reached, how long it sat before drying started, and how much material has to be removed and rebuilt. Covered losses are usually paid by homeowners insurance after your deductible.
